Interview with the Author

This site is still not yet ready for public consumption, pending sanitation and hygiene checks from the Ministry of Health.

In the meantime, a little Q and A, between the author, and err the author to tell you more about this site's aims.

Q) What exactly IS drgoat.blogspot.com?

A) Web site. Mostly blank.

Q) Yes, but what will it be, exactly?

A) Web site, hopefully not so blank.
No, but seriously, DrGoat aims to bring to readers unique perspectives of life and events from "between worlds", brought to you by authors who are either living abroad from their countries of origin, or who have returned to their Motherlands (or Fatherlands, sieg Hiel LK...why?) to settle, having spent years abroad educating and enriching their minds and livers alike. Sort of a goldfish's view of a fish bowl, from outside the bowl.

Q) What authors?

A) Well, authors are people who write stuff... at the moment, there's only me, myself, and I. That will change soon enough, one hopes. Naturally, since this represent's one biped's efforts at the moment, perspectives will centre about Singapore, London, and possibly parts of the ocean and bits of land between the two. Perhaps I will be joined one day by fellow writers from the farthest reaches of the rest of the world, universe, and possibly other dimensions as well.

Q) What stuff?

A) Anything at all! Entry level criteria for articles and writers is that they must possess a Sense of Humour sophisticated enough to discern a dinner fork from a pitch fork. Eloquence optional, but Wit is a prerequisite (the two often go hand-in-hand, but are occasionally known to just walk side by side). If it ain't funny, I ain't hosting it. As a rule of thumb, the more politically-incorrect a point of view is, the greater the potential to be funny; as long as some tact is exercised. My tact unfortunately got run over by a dump truck the last time I took him out for a walk.

Another rule of thumb, is that the more a piece centres about the writer, the less interesting it becomes to the rest of the world.

Q) Your thumb talks to you?

A) I refuse to answer that question. And so does my thumb. My fingers are in two hands though.

Again, I stress the disclaimer below. This site is dedicated to interesting and funny individuals with funny (and, occasionally interesting) thoughts about the world, and events around them. As the writers have all been stringently (starting with myself!) preselected primarily for their humour (wit like a razor, rapier, or in exceptional circumstances a sufficiently sharp kitchen implement), and secondarily for their sanity, or lack thereof (maximum prerequisite would be a basket short of a breadbasket, or a deck short of a deck of cards.) The points of view herein will be at times irreverant, irrelevant, and often extremely offensive to certain individuals. They are not intended to be taken seriously, or even semi-seriously. And if you do take anything, please remember to put it back where you found it when you are done with it.    # Re-minisce denies liability.8/02/2003 10:22:00 am
