SH*TSHOW - John Loonam!

9 DAYS TO GO! Single digits!! For our next blog highlight… John Loonam! It’s hard to remember a time BEFORE John P. Loonam was a Picker. Long-time writer and reading committee member, John makes CP what it is year after year. Here’s how he responded to our questions:

In your opinion, what’s the biggest sh*tshow of 2023? 

I think you misunderstand the situation:  There are no longer separate shitshows, some big, some small.  We have entered a new phase, in which it’s all one giant shitshow.  Kind of like transcending, but in reverse.

What’s your favorite mess to make?

From where I sit right now, I’d say it is my desk.  But perhaps if I move to the kitchen, I’ll have a different answer.

Can you describe a time when you were left to clean up someone else’s mess?

I’m a cis-gendered, straight, white man living in the United States.  Your question makes no sense to me.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever kept in a bathroom?

The concept of weird disappears when you enter the bathroom,

What’s your biggest mistake that was worth making? 

Loving that song.  Or maybe just telling people that I loved it.

And of course, your favorite expletive upon witnessing a sh*tshow?

I think we have discussed this before, but I always appreciate the chance to stand up for “motherfucker.”  So obscene but – speaking for the younger siblings of the world – so necessary.
