A real email to the ABC, yesterday.
'Hi all,
We never heard during the second Tuesdays First Tuesday why the pretty blogger lady (I have seen her before) is also called Miss Fist. I find it rather sad that, similar to the word whistleblower, the word blogger, also is starting to be used with a negative overtone. In modern times whistleblowers use their blogs to do for free the job investigative journalists used to get paid to do. But they all seem to have become sports/diets/cooking/travel writers.
The good news is, a blogger can write what he wants, without an editor deleting the embarrassing true bits.
Kind regards from an independent, freelance, whistleblower/blogger.

PS I liked your colour dress on the fist Tuesday of First Tuesday.'
1. I AM OFFICIALLY PRETTY
*picks up phone to call high school ex-boyfriends*
2. I am also starting to be universally known as 'Miss Fist'.
*puts down phone*
3. Interesting point about bloggers. But when was the word 'blogger' used with a negative overtone? WAS IT WHEN SOMEONE WAS REFERRING TO ME HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS PERSONAL SLIGHT.
4. How can he be sure I don't have an editor on this here blog? This gold doesn't just artfully prune itself you know.
5. Again with the fist.
6. How can someone spell the word 'first' correctly so many times in one email only to gaily throw in a vaguely obscene mis-spelling at the end? Mystifying.
396 days til the next election.

Double the Fist!
makes me laugh, the miss fist bit.
you dungeon madam, you.
Fisting. Hmmm. Not really a subject I am prone to considering at 10.59am while editing news reports about US congressional sex scandals...
oh god! what one typo can lead to!
I am so sorry.
No, wait, I called you 'Fisty'.
Wasn't me. *phew*
What a great email. And so very confused/ing.
i was also amused by the total absence of the word 'Bookclub' or even 'Book Club' from the email, even though it is in the title of the show.
how observationalist.

Pretty and with lovely skin (in a non-human-skin-lampshade sort of way)
Although I don't want to cause offence and suggest that I don't think you would make a nice lampshade.
*regrets ever mentioning lampshades*
:S
"fist".
he he.
I watched a Kung Fu movie about human lampshades recently, it was stupid:

I am looking forward to going to see MILK on Saturday after Sunday's show was cancelled. Will be staying for a drink also.
'Negative overtone' hey? I haven't really noticed this phenomenon, but if it does happen, it's just because the 'MSM' (Blogger-speak from mainstream media) is threatened by us.
I do believe I have a photo of your tiny little fists somewhere, should you wish to re-brand and replace the wet Betty.
ms fits,
i feel it your moral duty as a blogger to sneak LOL, or at least one YA RLY into the next episode. i have it on good authority that the EP will go for it.

Miss Fist.
Fist of Fury.
Yes, I like it.
He seems a tad retarded?
Or at the very least... slow.
I checked TV week last night looking for your show. I saw nothing. Is it only on in Melb? Or on Foxtel or something...
Maybe we don't get it up here in hicksville.
PS I AM NOT THE D***** from Adelaide. I am Dxxxx (x's not asterix's, 4 of them not 5) from Hicksville Northern NSW.
When are you on? I wanna check this show out.
First Tuesday of the month, 10pm
Sorry, that question wasn't directed at me. Sometimes I have troubles keeping quiet when I know the answer - must... try... to... contain... myself....
Ah but KK you were doing a service to the people... blogging people, but people nonetheless. I dont' think many people will hold that against you.
Officially pretty? I think I liked it more when you were unofficially drop-dead gorgeous.
Officially pretty? I think I preferred it when you were unofficially drop-dead gorgeous. It's kind of like saying, I was a fan before Miss Fits (of laughter) was officially pretty.
"Miss Fist"?
The bastart!
My mother is completely obsessed with you since First Tuesday Book Club started.
She's always telling me when you have an article in the paper and her favourite bits.
She concurs with the pretty. Only she says very pretty. She reckons you have spunk.
FFS! Am I the only person left in the Innaweb who has no idea what Fitz looks like?
yes, dr nic. i do believe so.
I always think you seem so more demure in real life that what you come across over the internerd.
That is not an insult by the way.
and the boots are HAWT
Bugger, I knew I should have copyrighted the Ms Fist thing!
Alas, dr nic, you are not the only one...
