Dr. Metablog

Dr. Metablog is the nom de blague of Vivian de St. Vrain, the pen name of a resident of the mountain west who writes about language, books, politics, or whatever else comes to mind. Under the name Otto Onions (Oh NIGH uns), Vivian de St. Vrain is the author of “The Big Book of False Etymologies” (Oxford, 1978) and, writing as Amber Feldhammer, is editor of the classic anthology of confessional poetry, “My Underwear” (Virago, 1997).

Alliterative NBA All-Stars

Everyone out there in Bloglandia has been eagerly awaiting my NBA All-Star team chosen to accord with the template, A**** A****, B**** B****, so here it is at last:

Centers:  Moses Malone, Alvan Adams, Darrell Dawkins. 

Forwards:  Paul Pierce, Bill Bradley, Happy Hairston, Joe Johnson, Walt Williams, Dale Davis.

Guards:  Rajon Rondo, George Gervin, Gale Goodrich, Lafayette (Fat) Lever, Steve Smith, Wally Walker.

Coach:  Scott Skiles.

If anyone can suggest important additions to this list, I'd be mighty grateful.

February 11.  Spike Cohen writes:  "inasmuch as the spoken language has priority over the written, George Gervin is ineligible. In place of Gervin, at guard, how about Phil Ford."

    Cincinnati drafted guard Dick Duckett from St. John’s in 1957. Duckett played just one season in the NBA, but what a season it was: 3.9 PPG, .342 FGP, 1.4 APG.
