About Me — Kristine Laco
My middle finger is my favorite
I write satire and humor on Medium most often. It gives me lots of time to procrastinate on my first memoir — currently in the never-ending editing phase of its life. I’ve re-written the beginning so many times I am numbed.
Satire refires the synapses.
I had to look up how to spell synapses.
I spell words the American way while here because I was sick of the comments about my use of proper English word spellings — I received none, btw, but I could hear your judgment through the screen. Now my computer prefers favorite vs favourite.
You win.
I don’t follow for follow. I follow people who amuse me or I can somehow profit from.
I was once Top Writer in Satire. I lost the title. I feel shame.
Out of university, my first job was with the Nordic World Ski Championships. I was a marketer by day and a mascot, also by day, in a giant beaver costume.
You can say it. I know you’re thinking it.
As a mascot, I threw the first pitch at a professional baseball game, rode a Zamboni, and was manhandled by the number one skier in the world as she tried to remove my head on live TV.
