protein wisdom:  a CITIZEN JOURNALIST profiled

protein wisdom is BlogPulse’s Blog of the Week—which, so far as I can tell, is an honor that brings with it no attendant prize money, and is quite unlikely to attract the kind of hot teenaged blog groupies that, say, Hewitt or “Hindrocket” routinely reel in.

The sexists.

    We still love you, and that won’t change!  Unless Hewitt or Hindrocket say they’ll share their hot teenage groupies that is…

  2. rls says:

    Because the answer is 19.

    19.

    19?  19???  Man that must be some tongue!  I’ll also wager that you can lick your eyebrows.

  3. CraigC says:

    Q. Where did the name Protein Wisdom come from?

    A. “Protein wisdom” comes from a line I wrote in a piece of fiction. In its original context, it had to do with a very vivid drug trip. Not sure how accurate the description is, though. I shy away from that kinda stuff.

    And all this time I thought it was a play on “protean wisdom.” I’ll be darned.

  4. Fred says:

    Congratulations.

    Now, wait just a goddamn minute…do you mean to tell us that Shannon Elizabeth is the one who’s been using all the drugs around here?

  6. Scott P says:

    Congrats, Jeff!  About time they caught up to you.

    No mention of the ‘dillo, though.  They’ll never get it…

  7. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I don’t share the armadillo with just anyone…

  8. phin says:

    Hmm, I guess you really do learn something new everyday. I’d always thought the name Protein Wisdom came from the knowledge that can only be gained by covering one’s self in peanut butter and cozying up to the neighbor’s poodle.

  9. Dario says:

    Just so I understand things correctly…

    Articulate = racist

    Blog of the Week = Sexist

    Oh and it takes 19 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.  My world is getting simplified by the week. 

    How did you come up with the name “Tootsie?”

    An Austrian immigrant, Leo Hirshfield, producing the candy in a small store in New York City and ended up naming the candy after his five-year-old daughter, whose nickname was “Tootsie.”

    Freeking Tootsie.

  10. Not to mention blog of last week and the week before that.

    Congratulations!

  11. Lydia says:

    Congrats, Jeff. I did a search for your name on Amazon and got this as a result.

    Krazy koncepts: A lunatic’s guide to handicapping

    Is that you? And what others have you written?

  12. Randy says:

    I have an aunt named Tootsie, but it’s just short for Tootsie Dopie.

  13. My guess is that if you’d rename yourself, you’d get some of the, uh, “booty.”

    Suggestion: Jeff “PocketRocket” Goldstein

    (Heh, I even managed to get in a “Talk Like A Pirate Day” word.)

  14. ME Strauss says:

    Congratulations. Yeah I think it’s an honor and a great way to get visibility. You must be doing something right. Take it where you can.

  15. AWG says:

    Congrats, Jeff.  For the record, I had thought the same thing Craig C. did in regard to where “Protein Wisdom” came from.  Live and learn, I guess. grin

  16. ss says:

    Pretty lame that they don’t have a link to your site in that Blog of the Week article. Cause that would be nice. Y’know. For some people. To have a link.

  17. Sean C. says:

    It only takes 19 licks?  You might consider trying to work up the ol’ stamina, Jeff.  It’s all about the staying power.

  18. jaed says:

    Huh. And here I always assumed it was a play on Robot Wisdom.

  19. Robert Schwartz says:

    Denver, huh? Is Stephen Green the Deadbeat Neighbor?
