Friday Q&A

Questionable Celebration

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to a special edition of the Friday Q&A. I'm glad you joined me on such an important day. Many of you are no doubt aware that this August is the Clinic's fifth anniversary of serving the Fark community. That's five years of dedicated hatred and unassailable opinions.

Q: How did the Clinic start?

A: Once upon a time, some cretinous moron got the idea to start a Fark hate blog. No, not me. A different, earlier cretin. The result was a terribly-written weekly screed against those Photoshoppers whom he considered to produce inferior quality work. Whether or not he realized that a large number of the low quality stuff was being produced solely to troll him, we may never know. Given that he still reads this blog every week, I'd say there's a 15% chance of him absorbing the information. At any rate, my time with TFPSTC showed me what a great platform Blogger is for twisting the facts to fit one's shallow world view.

Q: How did you get the idea to be the Doctor?

A: As previously stated, I had already chosen Blogger as the site of a brilliant new hate blog, one that would vastly outshine the previous idiot's pathetic attempts to speak for our community. Still scarred from his attacks, Fark was in dire need of some healing. And who better to deliver the medicine than a licensed physician (if you count my driver's license)?


Q: Why do you have a butt for a face?

A: I just have a thing for brown eyes. Besides, I think we've all made an ass out of ourselves on the Internet at one time or another. I happen to do it on a weekly basis. So I wanted an avatar that might warn my readers to take what I say with a grain of salt. Except for the parts about me being great, and also the ones about them being stupid.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by, and for supporting the Picture Clinic all these years. They say the traditional gift for the fifth anniversary is wood. Well, it gives me wood just knowing you're around. We may have our differences, but I think I can agree I'm always right.

Stay tuned for more anniversaries from the Doctor!
