What the fuck, indeed. The least favorite venue answer was classic. Todd managed to tie in the insights of Heraclitus, 5th century BCE, Greek who said "you cannot step in the same river twice" becaue the only constant is change and we live in the now, that has never happened before in the history of the universe and we are here, naming shit. And the naming stuff reminds me of Marshall McLuhan who in his book The Medium is the MASSAGE (yes, massage. He also coined the phrase "the Medium is the message" but then wrote a book about how media massage us into complacency) said "our name is a numbing blow from which we never recover"... I'm 62 years old and still fuckin Danny, WTF??? which brings me to the question about courses being taught on Todd's works...If I wasn't retiring I would do it. I could easily teach a poetry class featuring Todd's stuff. I'm a little pissed I didn't think of it when I was working. Daryl and Todd, THANK YOU guys! This was a great read that i will return to repeatedly with the sincere desire to understand WTF?

I’m glad we got around to the only real question there is. But does that mean there will be no more “Ask Todd” columns? That would be disappointing. I mean, WTF?
