Hey, what’s say we give a shout out to this chick — who’s single-handedly working to turn the blogosphere into some sad little digital simulacrum of her senior year in high school, complete with popularity contests and “sexiness” polls.
Like, totally bitchin‘!
Tell you what: you all head over to her site and vote for the “sexiest male blogger” (the poll is in the lower right) and I’ll stay here and see if I can’t find my parachute pants and Loverboy albums. I’ve been told I look “bulge-a-licious” in black Lycra.
Later, we can all meet by the Moon Tower and have a bonfire beer blast — maybe bump tongues, read Zeppelin lyrics to each other, then dry hump until we go raw and eventually scab over.
Ggghuh.
May I suggest that everybody goes over to Dawn’s site and votes for Andrew Sullivan? It’s the equivalent of wrapping her blog in toilet paper, so very, very satisfying.
Sorry because this is totally off topic but a thought occurred to me and I thought you’d be a good guy to ask.
Does having a popular blog count towards the whole “publish or perish” rule in academia?
I wouldn’t think so, KBH. Not unless you’re a “cultural” critic, and you can con a few big wigs in your department into believing your work is engaging in a sort of “performative” dialogue with a hyper-current cutting-edge medium (or some such nonsense). Call it Dialogical cyber-semiosis, throw in some Eco, some Barthes, some Genette…
Me, I write fiction, primarily. So it’s all good.
Just not professionally.
Thanks and keep up the great “Dialogical cyber-semiosis”, it’s cutting closer to the quick every minute.
Um – I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of that bonehead’s site she is a complete airhead and like totally lame. On the other hand it could be that someone is a little jealous, not mentioning any names RICHARD BENNETT that he wasn’t selected. Uh – if I cared that Sullivan got all the votes then I wouldn’t have put him on there. So wrap it up – I can take it.
Dawn is asking for a little OTK herself. Anyone care to oblige her?
I am an obscure, Left-Wing dingbat blogger with a readership that consists of three tree-hugging hippies from Oregon, a dyslexic, trade-unionist midget wrestler in Managua, a fat chick in Denmark who is stalking me, and my friends and family…but I gotta tell you, compared to the pot-bellied dorks and nose-picking losers on her poll, I look like a God.
OTK?
Richard – I am not the one who didn’t know what a TROLL was, but of course I don’t look like one, act like one, or consider myself one, so I could see your confusion.
Toilet paper is also a fitting choice. Especially considering what you are – I am sure you have a fair amount of asswipe papers just waiting to be used.
Hugs and kisses Richard.
OTK = Over the Knee.
No thanks, Richard. You are welcome to try it yourself…
There’s a lotta love on this blog.
