BLOG IT ALL
By Steve Fey
I probably should put the link back. The one on my main page that simply said BLOG? It took it off for aesthetic reasons: I thought there was entirely too much junk on my front page. Blog, for the unitiated, means Web Log, or daily diary that’s online and accessible to the public. Mine is still there. Click the word BLOG if you’d like to see it. Mine is mostly a ranting forum so I get that stuff out of my system and can write funny stuff. Like this? No, funny stuff. Blogs, now there are some funny blogs.
You never know what someone is going to post. To illustrate, permit me to list a few actual quotes from blogs I looked at just a few minutes ago.
Both the Christian and the magickal perspective are terrifying.
I can’t even think of a way to argue with that statement, so I’ll go on.
My fellow citizens... many have shown their fear of whats so called "The Purgatorian army".
Since I have no idea what the heck this blogger is talking about, I’ll skip the excess worrying about that Purgatorian Army. I prefer the Salvation Army; at least they sell discount stuff in their stores. Here’s another:
Annuity And Mortgage Info - Free Promissory Notes Forms
What? Someone using the Internet for crass commercial purposes? Oh, say it ain’t so! Then check out my sponsors’ links, please. After that, consider this one:
Could spyware be used for a terrorist attack? Not only could it be used to launch an attack it could possibly be used to fund an attack.
Well, I suppose so. And, to quote the immortal Wayne (of Wayne’s World); monkeys might fly out of my butt. But, to get on with it, try this one:
My blog contains resources specifically for finding, pricing, and purchasing rocking chairs.
See? If you’re even considering thinking about finding, pricing, and/or purchasing a rocking chair, you owe it to yourself to visit this blog right now! And, since I know you’re wondering, there are blogs that are a bit, er, naughty. I visited one written in French with provocative but not obscene pictures of (very much adult) women on it. Then there was the blog with this sentence:
Size does matter: I’ve never seen a two-inch dildo.
So, guys, if you’ve been worrying about that sort of thing, there’s your definitive answer. Sorry about that. And meanwhile, back to the scary stuff:
Tökéletes programszervezéssel jól keresztbetettem magamnak. Valahogy majdcsak kimászom belőle.
What scares me is that I actually have no idea what language that is. I can read Romance languages and English, and I recognize those Cyrillic things that Russians use, and even Polish, but whatever that line means I’ll probably never know. If you can translate it, please write me and tell me what it means. I think it’s about Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but that’s only from the fact that the blog is named "Mostly Harmless." I guess it is, but I don’t understand a word of it.
If you’re reading this, you could start a blog of your own. That’s just what the world needs, of course: more blogs. On the other hand, why not? You could refute that bit about the Purgatorians, or even the quote about size mattering. You could make up a language and confound us all. It is, unlike so much in life, free. And scary.
PS – I just ran spell check. It says that the language is Hungarian. Amazing, huh? I’ve never even been to Hungary.
