Sean asked how on earth I came across Wholphin. [For those who are interested, a wholphin is the name given to the offspring of bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales, as in this story here.]

In addition, Wholphin is a DVD magazine of unseen films. And part of the McSweeney’s stable, including the books, McSweeney’s magazine and The Believer.

Where else would I find dialogues like this:

INT. CONDO OF JUSTICE—DAY

(GENIUS MAN and CLASSY LADY are receiving top-secret e-mails from the PRESIDENT, when disaster strikes. A strange noise, then the screen turns black.)

GENIUS MAN: It’s Mr. Internet. He’s locked us out of American Online’s Internets … again!

CLASSY LADY: Blast! If we don’t stop him, he’ll soon gain control of the world’s children, while they’re surfing the World Wide Web!

GENIUS MAN: Off to Mr. Internet’s lair, on Microsoft Computer Island! To the GeniusMobile!

CLASSY LADY: The GeniusMobile has been sounding funny. Did you get it checked like I asked?

GENIUS MAN: I was doing our taxes. I’ll get to it this week. (Grabs keys.)

CLASSY LADY: Remember your glasses this time. You almost ran over Sadie Zuckerman last Friday.

GENIUS MAN: That was because it was about to rain and you were talking to me. (Pats his shirt.) Where are those glasses?

I’ve been a McSweeney’s fan for a long time.  And of Wholphin from its inception.
