The Heart of a Saturday Night
Chris and I often go back and forth on new ways to get more people reading Threat Quality, and we take the usual routes – shoving the link onto every board and Digg and Twitter and what have you. Scrawling it on bathroom walls whenever possible. Using the phrase, “and if you liked that, you really should go to threatquality.com” to end every conversation.
But we always come back to the idea of getting the site more reader-friendly. By which we mean easier to handle (which may necessitate a switch to WordPress shortly) and also, by making it clear we love hearing from anyone who reads this. Friends, regular viewers, casual checkers-in, accidental clicks.
So if you read this, tell us about yourselves. Where are you right now? What devious schemes are you concocting? Where do you make your home on the web? What’s honking you off? What’s the last good movie you saw? What’s the last terrible movie you saw? Do you have the “standard” number of toes, or has evolution made you a bit quirkier?
I’m Jeff Holland, co-founder on the site. I spend my days writing, so I can come home and have my fingers limber for more writing at night, both here and at I Speak TV. What’s honking me off tonight is I’m on my porch instead of at the movies. But the last good movie I saw was “Revolver,” a much stranger flick than I knew Guy Ritchie was capable of. But I’ve basically been dared to watch “Grandma’s Boy,” so I figure I can preemptively call that the last terrible movie I saw. So far, I’m stuck with ten toes, but willpower is an amazing thing.
Sometimes I look like this:
Your turn, my lovelies. Shout out for me.

Well, hi. My name is Kate, aka Katastic. I enjoy tabasco sauce, long walks in the park, and training rats to do cartwheels on demand. I once won a contest for stuffing 27 grapes in my mouth at one time. What did I win?
Only bragging rights.
Also, I can comfortably fit in any standard-sized suitcase. There is photographic evidence.

I’m Meg, and I’m a jackass. I have a raging case of foot-in-mouth disease. But luckily, I live in Delaware, and I consider the fact that I keep Biden from taking top prize, as my one valuable contribution to society. You’re welcome.

I’m Becky, and right now I’m in a lovely hotel room in Washington DC. I love hotel rooms…the individually wrapped cups, the free soap, the sterile consistency of all the rooms. Just love them. I also love animals in clothing, cheap jewelry and wine and cheese. And penguins, can’t forget penguins.

I’m Chris!
I keep having dreams about how I forgot to do something that I was supposed to, and then I wake up and think that everything in my room has been taken out or moved around, and I have to negotiate with the air conditioner to get it back.
The tendency to do this is actually exactly what kept me out of the army.
