This just in! Investigative reporters have uncovered The What’s true identity!

  1. I get the sense that most of you don’t recognize the cartoon. Where is the sense of culture? This is from the South Park World of Warcraft episode, where the boys go online to battle the greatest ever World of Warcraft player (pictured above), who does nothing but sit in front of his computer all day and play World of Warcraft.

  2. Ringo–as someone who has had a generally antagonistic relationship with the What, I can tell you that of late there have been several times where I have written positively about certain observations he has made. From a political/social perspective I share plenty of concerns that the What does about the nature of urban life and who can afford the privilege of living in NYC. However, despite my efforts to find a way to communicate with him and to find common ground nothing but derision comes my way. So for such a person, for whom conversation is a one way street, the only proper response is ridicule.

  3. Does THE WHAT really dwell in LODI, NJ? you gotta be kidding me…PLEASE TELL ME THIS AINT TRUE WHAT!! I love reading your posts every morning, but if you dont even LIVE in brooklyn, come on – whose the asshat now?

  4. You all lose the “this has everything to do with respect” aspect when you post you’re commenting under this unprovoked The What – Revealed cartoon. I mean, is that your idea of respect?

    It seems to me that The What has been commenting long before Dow 9000. And it’s been an interesting perspective. I hand him that. I realize he has hardly been the most gracious commenter here. But he’s harmless and, so far, he hasn’t posted a Miss Muffet – Revealed picture, right? I ask you: who is making this thing personal?

    I started reading this blog during Brownstoner’s renovation and was an early commenter. I think this place took a dive when people were forced to register. Now it’s like an 8th grade cafeteria. It seems to me there is a group of about ten people who fancy themselves the “in” crowd and anyone else is out or wrong or whatever. zzzzzzzzzzz.

    I’ve found The What a refreshing change to be honest.

  5. Priceless. I know The What still has one of those $14.99 halogen lamps leftover from his college dorm days, but is that a can of Sapporo? Perfectly fishy. Bravo to lechacal for this…
