Not Invited to the Party

Peter Brown — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 22:30:00 -0400

A Meditation on Posterity...One of Pete's old friends is not invited to a party. Dusting off his investigative reporting skills, Pete traces this back to a pair of a purple socks, a flood and an old chair.

This episode heads down to Central Texas, where I drive my editor crazy as a budding sportswriter, take umbrage with a publicity stunt from the local university, learn first-hand how flooding impacts a community, before returning back to Ohio where Pete notices a chair on the verge of setting a world endurance record, comes clean to his wife about a future museum, and thinks for a bit about the relaionship between social media and posterity.

This episode features a connect-the-dots of pop culture essay that runs from Napoleon Dynamite to David Puddy to Buckwheat to Brooklyn Nets power forward Luis Scola, to the Superfriends to Chief Wahoo. I step through the logic that connects each of these things to arrive at a relatively unpopular conclusion, at least among the denizens of the 2-1-6.
