You know, ever since reading Stephanie Dupont’s (unintentionally?) hilarious posts as Brian Linse’ stand-in, I can’t get this image of Professor Reynolds out of my mind.

He’s sitting there, up in his ‘holler’ in Kentucky, rocking on the front porch of his trailer, or shack, alternately sucking on his corn-cob pipe between sips of moonshine bourbon from the jug. His dawg lies sleeping beside him, and a pile of well-thumbed copies of Soldier of Fortune ripples in the breeze, along with his tattered Stars ‘n’ Bars, as he methodically cleans and oils his extensive gun collection. All this, of course, while contemplating his next article for the Columbia Law Review…

It’s really surreal and fascinating to read Stephanie’s stuff. It’s probably the first time that someone has unwillingly become a blogger, and it’s a great window into how the nonblogging world probably sees us.
