I could have hoped that he’d been more cryptic about it, but McGehee’s got the dope, the lowdown, the 411:
Jeff Goldstein, of Protein Wisdom blog, spoke at some kind of panel thingie about blogging today, and via a comment by Happyfeet there’s a link to some video of the panel thingie.
One of the things Jeff talked about was commenters and the way he has attracted such an unusually loyal group of us. We visit more often, stay longer, and continue to visit regularly longer, than most any group of reader-commenters in blogdom. And he says part of why that’s so is that he’s fostered a kind of “blog grammar†that requires an investment of time and attention to catch on to. He also uses the word “cult,†but if he thinks I’m going to get myself castrated or start sleeping with my sister (if I had a sister, which I don’t), that just ain’t gonna happen.
Anyway, so maybe the thing for me to do to build a following as loyal as Jeff’s, is to be harder to understand.
Gleep?

BECAUSE OF THE GRAMMAR??2??

Gleep was the little dragon in ‘Myth Adventures’.
No, I did not have to look that up.
Comment by The Wind on 4/20 @ 8:40 am #
I’m not talking to you.
Comment by Salt Lick on 4/20 @ 9:03 am #
Well, I had to look it up –
Gleep gained level 10 in Tanvu on 04/04/07 with Saske and Dix.
so, yeah, I reckon I’m in a cult. Should I call my mom?

I was thinking the Wonder Twins‘ monkey, but that was Gleek.
Comment by Cowboy on 4/20 @ 9:25 am #
I was thinking that monkey thing from Popeye (I’m very old this morning)–but that was Jeep.

Comment by Karl on 4/20 @ 9:42 am #
I was thinking about Lambchop, but that was Gleen(s).
Comment by Karl on 4/20 @ 9:43 am #
And the gibberish was much longer.

Eugene the Jeep, IIRC.

What was the name of that chimp with the pope hat on Lost in Space? Was That Gleep?
Comment by Sarah atWp on 4/20 @ 9:56 am #
No No, looked it up; that was a “Bloop” on Lost in Space.
Comment by Sarah atWp on 4/20 @ 9:57 am #
However, Gleep was a Herculoid. , paired with Gloop.
Comment by Sarah atWp on 4/20 @ 10:01 am #
I was more of an Igoo and Tundra fan, but the gloop and gleep were pretty cool.
Comment by B Moe on 4/20 @ 10:02 am #

I thought that was Gleen.

If anyone cares…
Comment by Sarah atWp on 4/20 @ 10:09 am #
Gleep and Gloop: …masses of some kind of substance resembling Silly Putty. They can stretch and bend into almost any shape imaginable. They can also use their bodies to shield the human Herculoids from harm, which they often do. [LOYALTY!] Gleep and Gloop communicate with each other via some really cool muttering sounds.

No. O’Brain, all the same, I gave up the ballet for Johnny Quest.

Uhhhh…
Is there something wrong with sleeping with your sister?
Urgent!
Comment by irongrampa on 4/20 @ 12:44 pm #
Been lurking and occasionally posting here for a long time, and I hardly think the increasing presence of Dan and Karl indicate a lessening of the quality I’ve become accustomed to. Rather, it’s a continuation. Still a great job, gang.

I identified with Jeff’s inspirational message of change and hope.
Comment by Jeff G. on 4/20 @ 9:16 pm #
You must be playing the audio backwards. Did you hear “Paul is dead” or “start a race war by killing Sharon Tate”? Those are what we in the business like to call “giveaways.”
Comment by baldilocks on 4/20 @ 9:25 pm #
Cool! Jeff is a baldier locks than I am! Not by much though.
Comment by thor on 4/20 @ 9:32 pm #
You were likable enough, Jeff.
PW is a great site and you are my blog-Baracky. When you become rich and famous try and remember me, eh.
Comment by Jeff G. on 4/20 @ 11:00 pm #
I actually was much smilier at the table discussions. And, of course, the cocktail hour.
Before I went yesterday I asked my wife if I should cut off the blacktop I had or leave it be. She said to break out the clippers. Because in person? I can really pull it off, baby.
