Edgar Allan Poe: The Interview Part, we forgot the number and are too lazy to look it up

ME: Have you been following this fake dead girlfriend story involving Notre Dame football standout Manti Te'o? POE: Can't help it. That story interrupted my following of Lance Armstrong? ME: We'll get to him in a second. But where did they go wrong in the telling of their tale? You have written extensively about fake dead chicks and you've pulled it off. Where did they go wrong in their narrative? POE: Writing involves a rhythm to the language and the imagery. This tale was just too damn sappy to be believable. WE: Agreed. I thought it jumped the shark early on with all the melodrama. By the way, nice hat. POE: Thank you. ME: So what is your reaction on Lance Armstrong? POE: Lance Armstrong, don't let me get started! ME: Okay we won't. Thank you.
