Title: "new" Escape Pod editor announced
Post by: Ben Phillips on November 25, 2009, 05:47:27 AM
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the latest addition to the Escape Artists team.  Taking over as chief editor of Escape Pod will be none other than...  Stephen Eley.  Weird choice, I know.

Welcome back, Steve!

I hope he's as good as the last editor, or at least as good as that Steve Eley guy

I don't know, does this "Steve" have enough relevant experience?

So, will this be the Good Steve or the Evil Steve?  Is there a goatee involved?

ooOOooh, I hope there's a goatee involved!

Everything's better with goatees!

"goatees" is just a letter or two away from a much more amusing/horrifying word..

I know, but I'm not sure that qualifies as 'better'...
Title: Re: "new" Escape Pod editor announced
Post by: lowky on December 11, 2009, 02:42:18 AM
but I think a steve with goatses would definitely qualify as Evil  ;D

Coming in late, I know...  This thread suddenly has me wondering if I could grow an evil goatee for some sort of charity goal.  It would have to be something ambitious, because I hate goatees.  I've done a full beard before but I think sculpted dainty fractional beards are ludicrous.

So make it worth my while and worth sacrificing my dignity for. 

Any ideas?

$5000 in one month and you'll put a pic of you with a goatee in the feed once you grow it.

... or is $5000 easy?
Title: Re: "new" Escape Pod editor announced
Post by: SFEley on December 25, 2009, 06:26:05 AM
But to what?  That's the question.  I won't do it to raise more money for Escape Artists.  That's too close to self-serving.  (This is only about looking evil, as I understand it.)

It's a shame you've just missed Movember or whatever it was...

Are there any sci-fi/fantasy related good causes out there atm? Is 'Match it for Pratchett' still going?

I'll throw in my 2 cents and mention any no-kill shelter of your choice.

Dude, that is a harsh critique of the goatee.  You realize Satan AND Nick Cave could potentially read this, right?

Fortunately I don't have one of those, so I'm safe.

As long as you both run faster than a 11:30 mile, you're safe. Don't let the Flash hat fool you, I run with the lightning speed of a glacier. My Super Hero name would be "Plate Tectonics!"

Yeah, but then you'd have to deal with the yetis, and they definitely don't rock the goatee.

Would the general charitable juices get flowing even more if we could convince Steve to go with something like this:

Wherever that picture was taken must be so southernly as to render all outwards directions north.
