If you missed last night's show, well, tough. I'm not gonna summarize what happened or show videos of the opening bit, just because you were too busy posting in this diary to actually pay attention to the program.
Dear friends, old and new,
It’s a great honor to introduce tonight’s Insomniac’s Vent Hole, but, as with any such recognition, this ranking carries tremendous responsibilities. One is put in charge of all kinds of important things, like posting the diary before the show is over, pasting in the Late Late Show banner, and whacking with my pootie-brolly anyone – aside from myself – who posts a spoiler [except that, due to my technical difficulties, it’s impossible for me to do the photographic Spoiler Alerts, and as tonight’s hostess, I’m not sure I’ll have time for live typing; therefore, for tonight only, I’ll allow spoilers from other subscribers].
Perhaps the most daunting IVH role is that of hostess: introducing guests, keeping the conversations moving, refreshing drinks and snacks, and ensuring that postings and replies follow appropriate guidelines. And what, exactly, are these guidelines? While touched on in the above disclaimer, and subject to all Daily Kos site regulations, IVH carries its own peculiarities with regard to what is considered "appropriate."
So I’d like to lay out what, in my opinion, is appropriate. Your suggestions and comments are welcome.
While it’s easy to forget why we’re here, at least some of the content should be about Craig Ferguson and/or The Late Late Show.
Allusion to sex, sexual acts, sexy body parts, sexuality and hotness are of utmost importance, particularly those that lead to ever-more-outrageous threads.
Actually, one need not merely allude – it’s not like this is a PG-rated diary – outright graphic expression is just fine, as long as it’s consensual.
Venting is clearly acceptable, but don’t be whiney; no "Debby Downer" types tolerated.
Have I forgotten anything? I’m sure that if I have, y’all will let me know.
Enjoy tonight’s show, and may all your Vent Holes be full-filled.
With much affection,
sboucher
PS. It came to my attention during my absence that y’all were "pronouncing" my name wrong. It’s not s’BOW-cher, it’s ess boo-SHAY.
