For some reason, I thought he was taller.

Yet another celebrity shout-out to #1. I'm jumping on this bandwagon and renting a recumbent for Halloween.

You have made a mistake. This is clearly MAFT Haughey. Maft is short for Mafita, Arabic for "Guardian of the Pool".

You're definition of "celebrity" is quite different from mine.

Not familiar with Maggie Mason- what is she "famous among dozens" for, exactly?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 9:20 PM on October 16

Yeah, Maggie is a friend that I can't really call a celebrity.

Never heard of her, sorry.

I know her, she was in that Rod Stewart song.

I know that's her tagline and all, but she's got enough readers to sponsor her own weekend getaway for fellow bloggers. And Intel sponsored her to-do list. That's plenty of celebrity in my book!

HEY EVERYBODY!

I don't know Maggie Mason, but anyone who can wear a fat dookie gold rope chain non-ironically* is cool with me.

*Maybe dookie gold rope chains are back in style. I wouldn't know. But unless Maft wears them, and it's part of the joke, then I'm guessing it's part of her ensemble...which is awesome

So. "Broad Summit." Huh. Someone care to explain? Does it involve, like, broads? Clever.

I've been following Mason's blog for years, especially after she developed Mighty Goods. I thought this was a fun shoutout. And fwiw, here's my daughter's humble addition to the "not Matt Haughey" meme. (Also not really a celebrity, except with the grandparents.)

She needs to at least add the glasses and helmet.

A party at which everyone was dressed as another MeFite, past or present, would be pretty fun.

I read Maggie's blog, too. She's definitely internet-famous, for a certain subset of internet (i.e.: people who read Dooce, finslippy, etc.).

Oh god this must be what I sound like to my family.

Excellent use of the '1' tag.
