Doctor Vito not amused

Uh-oh. I just got a testy email from Doctor Vito. It seems he visited the blog to check out the questions that readers have posed for his first column, and came away sorely disappointed.

He was horrified to find only two, brief questions awaiting him. He told me he had expected to find at least a few hundred, if not over a thousand, questions. To find only two, well it hit the man below the belt. It really did.  I've never read a sadder email.

People, you must try harder. How can we expect this great man to deliver his special brand of wisdom to us if we can't even pose a few decent questions? Consider yourselves sternly spoken-to.

Now, I hope to find at least 50 questions in the comments. I really do. It's in your hands, readers. Do we attract a true intellectual to this site, or not?

A new era for this humble blog

A tremendous honor has befallen this blog. I have just been notified that final arrangements to secure the services of Doctor Vito, Noted Expert, were successful! Yes, Doctor Vito will be contributing a regular column to The Worlds Blog, beginning next week.

As I'm sure readers know, Doctor Vito is an expert in all matters. The New York Times once referred to him as "the final arbiter of all things". His credentials cannot be questioned. And this is the calibee of columnist that will soon be available to readers of The World Blog. I am so excited, I can hardly speak.

All that's needed now is your participation. That's right. I want you to dig deep and come up with your most pressing questions about life, love, reality, sex, science, relationships, outer space, morality, indigenous practices -- anything. Remember: there is no topic on which Doctor Vito is not an expert. So ask away.

But as with all things in life, there's a catch. As you know, Doctor Vito is an effete snob. So if you don't come up with interesting questions, he will not write a column! This is his way and we can't argue with genius. So I'm begging you: be creative! Remember, you must stimulate the man to generate a response. And oh, what a response it will be!

You may submit questions for Doctor Vito in the comments of this post (or in any future post). I know I can count on you to add the final ingredient to the mix: questions truly worthy of a great mind. This is your big chance, people. Don't blow it!
