Another Photoshop toy* from Betsy’s subconscious: International Babe Magnet Frank Paynter.** I see him surrounded by glamorous bloggeresses. (If you saw the first Austin Powers movie, you know–these “girls” are far from pushovers. Each cute fluffy bra-cup conceals a machine gun! But with IBM Frank, one just wants to have fun.)
I got to know Frank because he interviewed me.
I’ve done interviews before, but Frank’s are amazing. He asks such friendly, surprising, intelligent questions–because he wants to get to know you and let you shine.
Some other personal favorite Frank Paynter interviews:+ Elaine of Kalilily, Jeneane Sessum, Halley, and most recently Shelley Powers who pointed out:
“…this isn’t a Frank Paynter interview if there isn’t sex in it in some way.”
And in conclusion, I’d like to thank Beth for sharing her IBM husband with the blogworld.
* No actual women were harmed while making this picture–all models accurately represent my own appearance and clothing at BloggerCon.
** My other favorite IBM Niek Hockx was too busy Nederlands shutterclogging to get to BloggerCon.
+ Frank also does great interviews with men, though that’s off my topic. If Frank wants to interview you, say “Yes, yes, yes, yes!”

Oddly…disturbing…

The machine gun image is sorta scary. Fluffy, yet deadly. Yoicks. Not my kind of women really.

I’m relieved Betsy appointed a second IBM. It’s a huge responsibility to keep all these hot bloggeuses happy all the time and a job not to be taken lightly. Frank and I can now share the workload and aim for more quality instead of quantity. Of course I’m still the most international of the two, because I have a European accent… ;-)

Actually, I too have a European accent when I speak English, with an emphasis on the clear vowel sounds of Scandinavia as transmitted from my Norwegian grandparents and reinforced by the cheese-heads of Wisconsin. Only Wisconsinians and Norway-ites can make those long vowel sounds with such clarity that they are annoying. “A”s and “O”s are particularly distinguished by the way we draw them out.
Fortunately, this doesn’t affect my job performance as an IBM.
