Somewhat interestingly, the event that spurred our penetration into the insular world of “frinks” was none other than the disappearance of our favorite Ink contributor. We’ve received communication from “frinks” before, most notably TG Design and the reliable wordsmith Momar Van Der Camp. But we’ve never had an actual post written about us. But now, in a post-Paulie edition of KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site, we’ve finally broken down that impregnable wall. Read on for awkward but amusing assumptions of celebrity.
It was “SavageAnimal,” of all people, who brought cultures together with this post, under “We’ve Lost a Hero”:
Paulie has left INK. This is a sad day in the website’s history. Read the full story here
This received a response from “marleyzboy,” who has received scant attention on this site, and of course by the dastardly SLIMMphoto, whom I’ve partially blamed for the disappearance of Ink’s silverback. His comments:
I want to know who this O’neil person is that has taken such a liking to the 3 (me, savage and marley) of us on this thread? Did you guys read all his blog entries?
Boy, hes really taking a liking to me. I got an entire entry about me!So is he a Frink? Or just someone who studies everything about Frink and “reports” on it?
Either way, im somewhat disturbed yet flattered all at once!
Ahem.
Let me clarify things for you, SLIMMphoto. 1. Relentless mockery of the self-indulgent and inane world of Ink does not constitute “taking a liking to” something. 2. None of us are “frinks,” and never will be. Our purpose in Ink commentary is to make fun of your world. Nothing else. 3. Don’t be flattered. There’s no reason to be. 4. Sweet emoticon. The blushing face? Really?
“Sweet Emoticon” — isn’t that an Aerosmith tribute band whose members are IT specialists?
