Person o' the Week

An interview with the amazing Sporran

bHs: Hi. Welcome to our program.

Sporran: Thanks. I'm glad to be here. People often aren't interested in what I have to say.

bHs: Really? You seem like a fascinating interview subject. And that even casual conversations with you would be pretty intriguing.

Sporran: I would think so as well, but I think people are intimidated. Even disgusted.

bHs: Hmm. Well, I think you'll find that bluesweatshirt.com's audience is well-equipped to enjoy anything you have to say. Why don't we begin by getting a little background from you?

Sporran: Sure. My family has been around as long as more sophisticated kilts have been in use in what is now mostly Scotland and Ireland. They needed pockets, and we came along to fill the need. Also, when it's windy, we keep the kilt in place.

bHs: Is that much of a problem?

Sporran: You would be surprised. Kilts are tricky little buggers, even though they look simple. Don't get me wrong, my favorite place in the world is snuggled up against a kilt, but...

bHs: A strong wind can be problematic?

Sporran: Exactly. And I do like having a bit of a heft in me, and holding that kilt in place.

bHs: Do you think some of your appeal is the handbag factor?

Sporran: The handbag factor?

bHs: Ahh, the desire by men to have handbags? Purses?

Sporran: No, no, I don't think that's it at all. Merely utilitary.

bHs: What are some of the more common items stored in you?

Sporran: Heh heh. That sounds naughty.

bHs: But you know what I mean, right?

Sporran: Ahem, yes. Cell phones, since you ask. Or mobiles, as they are sometimes called. And keys, money, sometimes chapstick.

bHs: Chapstick? Sounds a bit like a woman storing lipstick in her purse.

Sporran: What's with your handbag obsession? Maybe you should interview a handbag. I have to get back to work.

bHs: No, no. Stay I want to talk some more.

Sporran: Maybe it's a good thing people don't talk with me that much, if this is what most conversations are like. You're a horrible interviewer. I hope you have to interview a very stinky animal next.
