Bart King's Blog, page 59

Why do I listen to Radiohead?

For the thought-provoking lyrics, of course!

I had a photo-shoot!

A Portland magazine did a photo-shoot of me recently. At the bottom of this post is my proof. And here is some of the dialogue from that day:

“Can you make a cute expression? [pause] Maybe not.”
————————————————
“Your head is catching the light really well.” (Implication: You’re really bald.)
————————————————
“Bart, can you ride this giraffe?” (No, I did not make that up.)
————————————————
“Wow—you were holding so still, I almost thought you were a mannequin!”
“I get that a lot.”
————————————————
Woman (entering store): What’s going on in here?
Bookstore Employee: Oh, they’re doing a photo-shoot for Bart King. You know, the Portland author?
Woman (blank look): . . .
Bookstore Employee: See, he’s written all these books. Kids really like them.
Woman: Thanks, but I was just wondering what the activity was.

"Love at First Sight"

Reddit's killing it today!

"Spring is just around the corner!"

Via.

"Oh, what's this, a balloon? AAAAAA"

I can't...

This is cracking me up.

Can you believe it? The guy on the right has a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt!

Quail in terror, puny mortals . . .

. . . before the power of my LinkedIn profile!

When Authors Get Bad Reviews

Not that I know anything about that!Hang on a second—What!? 
All I have to say is some people are going to be sorry someday...

“What’d you do when you were my age, Grandpa?”

“Well, there wasn’t any Internet or electronic gizmos, so we mostly just watched men digging. Holes, ditches, it didn’t matter to us. Those were the glory days!”
