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).
DR. METABLOG’S
GREATEST HITS
Two derelicts on the B–ld-r M-ll, both of them victims of (I'd guess) methedrine, beer, tobacco, certainly marijuana and who knows what else. Neither of them looking good: emaciation, missing teeth, scraggly beards, odors strong enough to be visible, cachexis.
A: "What are you eating?"
B. "Some kind of corn chip?"
A. "How are they?"
B. "Salty. I don't like them."
A. "Yeah, I try to stay away from salt. Not good for you."
