After well more than a year of quiet Best Show fandom, I finally resolved to call in yesterday and take part in the mirth and mayhem. I realized that my endless wait for the perfect topic about which I'd have something perfect to say was bound to stay endless -- better to just dive in the water and learn to swim.
(Reviewing the tape with clipboard and pen in hand, I feel like I did pretty well ... I had the shakes and it made me try a little too hard to "hang" and be clever, but I avoided the dreaded heave-ho. Plenty of room for improvement, but an OK start; a gentleman's B minus, I think.)
Anyhow, I thought it'd be appropriate to start a thread in the new kids' section about the triumphs and the tragedies of rookie Best Show calls. Have you called in yet? Do you plan to call soon? Did you earn the honor of a "thanks" or the dubious distinction of GOMPage from El Goodo?
And it'd be great if Best Show vets could chime in with their own first-call reminiscences ... or campfire chillers about disastrous first-callers who never called back!
