MacGougan at Large
First Annual MacGougan at Large Survey
Flattering illustration by Stephen Morillo
You may have missed it, but there was a day recently that was the one-year anniversary of this Substack Column. We had a low-key celebration here, followed by some repair work. (It turns out to be a bad idea to insert a birthday candle into the headphone jack of a Mac Mini.)
I thought this might be a good time to give my faithful readers a brief respite from the normal onslaught of adventure, ideas, and frivolity - and instead invite them to provide me with some free advice by taking a survey about the column.
If you have any thoughts you’d like to share that don’t line up with one of the multiple-choice options provided in the linked survey, please submit a Comment. Thanks!
DISCLAIMER FROM THE MACGOUGAN AT LARGE LEGAL TEAM:
This survey is intended solely for the private, non-commercial use of its readers and potential plaintiffs. Also, don’t get your hopes up. This operation is not actually a democracy. While we in the Legal Team value your thoughts and input, it wouldn’t surprise us at all if Old Mr. Bucket Hat (as we affectionately refer to him when he’s out of earshot) ended up running roughshod over every bit of your excellent advice. Ask us sometime about what kind of response we’ve gotten to our very reasonable list of suggestions for improving Legal Team morale.

Happy Substack Anniversary! Keep up good work!
A birthday candle in electrical orifice—sounds like my five year old son was involved in your festivities. 🤔
To be clear, I don’t have a least favorite topic.
More illustrations like today’s! That one is fabulous! 🙄
And I want details of the birthday candle-headphone jack incident! Or should I say, the bc-hj Incident, capital I, I smell a scandal brewing, will Joyce Vance cover the cover up, how many living beings died in this catastrophe, oh my god!!! There’s potential there for a whole series on household disasters! Get on it, MacGougan!
