MNSpeak: Talk

Relaunched: mspmag.com

The old Mpls St Paul magazine web site was... how should I say? Useless. The new site is positively bursting with content. Articles from the magazine (finally), a recipe database, A&E calendar, and most importantly, awesome exclusive videos. (Okay, I'm biased: I made the videos. But check out Heiruspecs and The Gang Font. Or get a hot Steve Marsh fix.)

MSP + Heiruspecs = WTF?

Maybe they're trying to get into the metro croud a bit. What exactly are you doing for the videos, Chuck? Are you just producing/directing them or do you have editorial control, too?

I like the wood background in the photo of the Allina Hospice fundraiser...looks like it took place in an elegant & upscale venue.

mspmag.com offers The Best of the Twin Cities. The Heiruspecs is one of the best local hip-hop bands, so it's a perfect fit with our content.

Not arguing against Heiruspecs, but I just thought it odd when the readership of MSP readership ranked Crosby, Stills and Nash the top concert of last year.

My first comment sounded a bit snarky. I'm all for MSP doing more stuff like that.

These models are kind, generous, and unique people. They contribute to the lives of othersnot because they advertise products, but because they exemplify what it means to be beautiful, inside and out.

...from the cover story.

Oh, go ahead and snark, Matt. If you don't, we will. For God sake, don't get rex started.

Did she really say "Machino?" when referring to the machismo theme? And Marsh agreed with her. lol. Illiterates.

(maz: well, they were both a bit tipsy.)

If you ask a question out loud, and don't really know what you are talking about, probably best to wait for the facts of the matter. The hosts are NOT illiterate but you now look like an idiot. Thanks, Fashion Literate, for telling us the obvious, but obviously it needed to be done.
Matt
The original comment was pretty immature. You're in publishing now. Try to relax and think beyond your own little version of the real world. MnSpeak 2.oh oh is not on solid ground to tell anyone else how it's done.

The mistaking of the couture label, Moschino, for the word machismo made me giggle.

No need to wonder why those Midwestern sterotypes exist.

Now if they could just pronounce it!

I was trying to suggest you quit while you were not too far behind, but you kept on, and now you've somehow lost a battle of wits with yourSELF. Your excuse that you're dense is that you're straight? Gay Pride just got a shot in the arm; you aren't. We straights, however, aren't looking too good.

You stood up for Maza, blatant inaccuracy and personal insults. Happy?

En garde, fuckers.

Yeah, Steve Marsh doesn't know how to pronounce "machismo." Tsst. I'm signonymouse with it. Y'all mize well start pronouncing it "Marsh-chismo."

And whatever, Matt. Hollaback when daddy's free magazine lands its next Applewick exclusive.

Our new website is clearly the G.O.A.T.

This was snarky, and all he did was quote from the actual magazine. Of course, making fun of the writing in MSP is sort of like beating up the kid in the wheelchair.

It couldn't possibly be that much fun.

When Steve Marsh becomes an Italian couture label, then I'll learn how to pronounce his last name correctly.

G.O.A.T = giddy, orgasmic, acid-trip?
