Katie
Jan 18th, 2009 by linthatcher
Here’s a short and sweet update on what’s going on at the Hatcher maison. Like how about our new baby, Katie? And an opportunity for listeners to reach down deep to see if they have any suggestions for show topics. Like how about liminalism? “The threshold people,” as Criswell would put it. People, places, and things which sit at the border between two worlds. Like Christ, who is both God and man. Or like men, who are both spirit and flesh. Or like the Wolfman, as we see him here in one of his stranger incarnations. Anyhow, if that sounds interesting, place your vote here at the blog page by posting a comment. Or if you have an idea of your own, post a comment. Thanks!

Yes! I vote for liminalism!
And I vote for Katie!
And chocolate peanut butter ice cream! (Oops - was that a topic?)
:)
I just listened to the podcast, and I think it’s one of the funniest ones you’ve done so far! (Maybe you should do more podcasts when you’re sick and feeling awful, Lint.) (Just kidding.)
I loved:
- “I accepted Keith Green as my personal Lord and Savior at a Jesus concert.”
- Katie’s comments on liminalism. It was a surprisingly surreal moment - maybe it was just me, but I could imagine that she was actually trying to express something with her sighs and gurgles. She was on the cusp, as it were, of communicating with us from Baby World. In a liminal sort of way.
BTW, I had an experience yesterday that fits your definition of “liminoid” to a T. Did you catch any of the “We Are One” concert/show/ceremony/break-our-arms-patting-ourselves-on-the-back-fest for Barack Obama last night on HBO? Precisely because we weren’t swept up in the “moment” it was trying to fabricate, Gary and I commented all through it about the strange feelings it gave us and the disconnect between pop culture and real culture. See here for good thoughts from Mark Shea on it: http://www.markshea.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html#6950691846851422577
Enjoy, Kathleen
Hey Lint! I just surfed onto your podcast and subscribed… I remember reading the original MST3K article in a bundle of Wonders that Rod Bennett sent me, and it was interesting to hear it read by the author ^_^
Congratulations on the new kiddlybean!
