Frequently Asked Questions About Harvey

After a month of tossing up posts, maybe it’s time I introduced myself (in the extended entry):



Recent police sketch

Are you a 6-foot-tall invisible white rabbit?
Only when I’m talking to Jimmy Stewart. As a pooka, I’m able to manifest myself in many forms, although most people see me as a 5’10”, middle-aged white guy with dark hair and a beard.
Did Ronald Reagan steal his ideas for destroying communism from you?
That’s classified. However, President Reagan WAS my Commander-in-Chief during part of the time I spent in the Navy (1985-1991). I’ll just let you connect the dots from there.
Were you the guy who caught Chekov stealing photons from the Enterprise’s reactor, as seen in the documentary “Star Trek IV”?
I was attached to the USS Enterprise from 1987 to 1991, and I did work in the #4 Main Machinery Room. However, I can’t say whether that was actually Chekov, since all them filthy Russian bastards look alike to me.
I think you’re hot. Can I bear your children?
That sounds like a splendid idea, but you should probably clear that with the woman to whom I’ve been happily married since 4-9-99. Since I don’t have any children with her (or anyone else), she might say yes… or she might snap you like a twig… She’s kind of unpredictable that way.
You’re really sick & twisted. I’ll bet you blend puppies for fun, don’t you?
You’re thinking of Glenn Reynolds. Even though I do own two dogs, four cats, and a blender, I rarely combine them.
Do you live at the North Pole with toy-making elves and magical flying reindeer?
You’re thinking of Dan Rather. I live in Wisconsin with cheeseheads & bubblers.
Wisconsin, eh? You guys have the gayest state quarter ever.
True. However, we don’t allow our commemorative currency to marry, so technically we’re not as bad as Massachusetts.

You suck. Nothing you write ever makes me laugh. I’m ten times funnier than you. How come YOU’RE a member of IMAO and I’m not?

Because I’ve got street cred… I was First Loser in Frank J.’s Super Lucky Happy Fun Permalink Contest Number One and First Winner in Super Lucky Happy Fun Permalink Contest Number One II, where I actually beat Frank J., himself.
I’ve also served as assignment coordinator for the Alliance of Free Blogs (another project started by Frank J.) since October of 2003, which means I’m capable of flogging a running gag light years beyond even the point of self-parody. Sometimes OCD isn’t always a BAD thing.
That, and I once gave Frank a cigar.


I can’t imagine anyone would want to know anything else. If I’m wrong, you can pipe up in the comments.

  1. I heard rumors that the guy that played Sulu on Star Trak was really gay…can you confirm or will that bring back some “difficult” memories from your past? Also, what’s it like to be a permagaycheesehead? Hi from Minnesota!

  2. Nice try, Harvey. I want to know how long, exactly, it is between your second and third knuckles on your index finger on your right hand. Until you tell us that, I’ll always believe you’re hiding something!

  3. Funny, the ship in Star Trek IV was a Nimitz Class ship only “acting” as the Enterprise. So, if you saw Chekov, who was never on the real Enterprise, and you thought you were on the real Enterprise, dude, you have some ‘splainin to do, or, yer a commie spy.

  4. Hey, Harvey, why didn’t you mention, amongst your past IMAO credentials, your highly noteworthy role as a judge in the great IMAO T-shirt babe selection???
    I’m sure SarahK remembers….
    🙂

  5. Since you bring up the issue, I just have to say, Wisconsin’s Quarter is nowhere near as bad as Alabama. You look at Wisconsin’s quarter and you think “Hey, that must be a dairy state!” You look at Alabama’s quarter and all you think is “The greatest thing to ever come out of Alabama was a woman who was deaf, blind, and dumb!” I am so ashamed of the design they chose for my state…
    (sorry for the rant, its just a topic that really irritates me)
