Robin McLean

The latest in a series of inventive dialogues between Fish Obit Editors Cousin Rob, as well as Margaret, and Robin, concerning Complaints, Ambiguity, Editorial Disagreement, Crowd-Sourcing, Migrational Topics and Weekend Sales.

Rob: So we've gotten some pretty grumpy calls about the groundhog story. People don't get what happened with the poem.

Margaret: Bummer, but oh well, hey, this is Art.

Robin: I never should have gone to the bathroom.

Margaret: We could do Groundhog ReDux, the alternative ending.

Rob: Crowd-sourced endings are a slippery slope.

Robin: We have The Guppies all cued up.

Rob: Redundant.

Robin: We really need to paint this office.

Margaret: Agreed.

Rob: I've seen way worse, really. I like the color.

Margaret: I can't see any color.

Rob: Look right there, behind the radiator.

Robin: But don't we deserve a fresher look?

Margaret: It wouldn't kill us to jazz it up.

Rob: I AM exhausted after 10 posts. A little paint? New carpet?

Margaret: And we did get the furniture at the dump.

Rob: I love this couch. No one's touching it.

Robin: And we're going to be Big Time bloggers. No one will miss us if we miss one post.

Margaret: Isn't this is Tax-free weekend in Massachusetts?

Rob: Come on. Let's go.
