I went and agreed to do this.
No, I have no idea why they want me, other than for someone to point at and mock. And I suppose I should apologize for telling everyone I have more traffic than Glenn Reynolds. I wonder if I could steal a copy of the questions beforehand?
Anyway, they agreed to feed me, so how bad can it be? I ordered the turkey sammich because of the four choices, it was the one that came with cheese.

Posted by: Jordana at November 1, 2005 11:18 AMFortunately, being one of Birmingham's most trafficked blogs is about like being one of Birmingham's tallest midgets.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at November 1, 2005 11:27 AMWow, that sounds interesting--I might see if I can take lunch and go hear that illustrious panel.
Is the "Bruno Conference Center" *at* St. Vincent's Hospital?
Posted by: Stan at November 1, 2005 11:29 AMoooooooooooh you's going to be like Valrie Plame, you gonna be outted.
Posted by: Anymostusest at November 1, 2005 12:01 PMSkillzy, Scooter - I see troubles ahead...
I hope to be there, but my schedule for Thursday is sorta fuzzy right now.
And really, who can have a sammich without some cheese? Well, unless it's a PB&J.
Posted by: skillzy at November 1, 2005 12:04 PMStan, yes, it is right there on campus--come in the main drive and it's on the right. Park in one of those ginormous decks and come on in.
As for being outed, I am certain that my secret CIA identity will not be revealed.
And Skooterzy, you really should try my PBJ&C.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at November 1, 2005 12:14 PMI think you are deserving of the invitation. What happens if you make the Birmingham News and your wife reads the paper?
Posted by: sugarmama at November 1, 2005 12:42 PMI will simply blame it on one of the other guys in town with the same name. There are at least three of us.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at November 1, 2005 12:46 PMI can see it now at casa de possum: "Possum, you got some 'splainin to do!"
Oh, and congratulations on being the BlogKing of Alabama. Feel free to go out and Knight other bloggers if you want to.
Posted by: skinnydan at November 1, 2005 12:47 PMDo you get a suit of armor with a knighthood?
Posted by: TieRod at November 1, 2005 12:51 PMWell, if I can find MY suit of armor, I may be there myself--this should be really interesting. But I hope if the News reports on this that there won't be any pictures, as that would make it harder for you to claim it was another Terry Oglesby.
Posted by: Stan at November 1, 2005 01:06 PMOne day, groupies will show up at your house asking for autographs. And the papparazzi. Then how will you explain your fame?
Posted by: sugarmama at November 1, 2005 01:08 PMStrange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Posted by: Dennis at November 1, 2005 01:09 PMWell, Stan, we DO all look alike.
Sugarmama, I have to put up with that already.
And finally--
Bloody peasant!

Hmm. I wonder if I could change my lunch order to Spam?
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at November 1, 2005 03:15 PMTieRod asked, "Do you get a suit of armor with a knighthood?"
Isn't a possum with a suit of armor an armadillo?
Posted by: BillW at November 1, 2005 04:30 PMHeh--now that you mention it, you're exactly right!
Of course, they seem to have even less success with passing cars than possums do...
