Der verrückte Hutmacher sagt "Schön, Sie kennen zu lernen!"

Hello, loyal reader(s?) of SUWA! It is I, the Hatter who is Mad. Harester informs me that, instead of simply being the brains and beauty behind this whole operation, I must also contribute by occasionally writing things. And because I always do what my BFFers tell me, I am hereby announcing my professional debut as a Master of Criticism and Snarkitude.

As I have no job, naturally I have little time to write - my days are fully occupied with eating, sleeping, and watching copious amounts of TV. However, I have made my commitment to SUWA, and more importantly to the March Hare, and I am ready to spread my butter pats of wisdom all over the pocket watch of your fresh un-Hattered brains. (Butter-side down, anyone? Just kidding. Butter-side down makes no sense - keep those brains the right way up!)

You can probably tell by now, but I am equal parts Serious Susie and Kooky Kandace (which would totally be my stripper name, b.t.dubs), which when mixed create the jumble of fantabulousness that is the Mad Hatter. Look out, blogosphere! If your sphere is as blogged when Madame Hare and I are done with you, we shall commit seppuku in shame.

(Postscript: the title of this post means "the Mad Hatter says 'It's nice to meet you'" in German. German makes me laugh, and I am considering having a regular "hilarious German word" segment on SUWA. Forewarned is four-armed.)

(Post-postscript: a Google image search for "four arms" also yielded horrifying pictures of a child who was apparently born with four arms and four legs. I barely avoided ripping my eyes out of my head a la Oedipus, but seriously, it was about 87.6 times more disturbing than the Tree Man.)

Down the Rabbit Hole

Hello! And welcome to SHUT UP WE'RE AWESOME, which is a blog.

Basically what is going down here is the following: the Mad Hatter and I have been bffs since way back when--both literally and literarily--and from time to time (read: every day, all the time) we have opinions on things. What kind of things you ask? ALL KINDS AND THE BEST KINDS, respectively. In the past we've usually just shared these valuable insights with each other, but we feel that it is time to stop being selfish, and share the love which basically translates into YAY FOR YOU!

What can you expect from SUWA? Combine equal parts snipe and snark, a handful of awkward, a dash of ridiculous and a pinch of dork. Let steep until very strong, then drink. We'll probably be taking turns posting according to some system we have yet to work out but I don't have any idea what it what it will be. Honest truth: Hattie was all, wait until the blog is pretty to post anything, and I was all, yes, I will do that, so if I was being less liar-y right now and more designing-ery we would probably have a system in place. But in my defense sir, I'm at work where we don't have fancpancy design software, and I am bored, so that is my excuse; please don't make me sit in the corner.

If you're reading this right now, this whole post is probably moot, since you probably know us already and know how we roll. Which brings me to this: I will let you in on a little secret: March Hare is not my true, legal name: WHAT???

At this point you're probably saying to yourself, "I've been had! And I was really starting to become emotionally invested in our relationship, MH! HOW COULD YOU??? Are you building the foundation of our love on lies and trickery???" And to that loyal subjects I say, INDEED I AM. Because that is how we roll, which you should already know. (see above) But in order to keep the magic alive, we have to work together, so if you know us and/or have uncovered our mild-mannered alter egos, please refrain from using our names, addresses, social security numbers, or similar in the comments section, and I know we'll be together forever, baby.
