the blog eats itself

Recently, I read a blog (not linked here to protect the guilty) referring to my blog, saying that my blog "...never has a single dull or boring entry". That's quite heady praise, and evidently it went straight to my head -- because ever since then, I've written nothing but worthless tripe. The pinnacle of LAMENESS was yesterday, with true story, a tale made all the more mundane by the extraordinarily tedious-telling of said tale (what can I tell you -- I thought I could pull it off with comic panache, but I'll admit it -- it was L-A-M-E).

Just when you thought things actually couldn't get any worse around here, I offer you this: the "THINGS ACTUALLY COULD GET WORSE" list -- a list of blogs that are even more lame than mine. PLEASE NOTE: These links are offered as proof that these blogs actually do exist -- I do not recommend clicking on them, as these blogs do, in fact, SUCK. If you do decide to visit these sites, however, please be a courteous visitor and don't write "YOUR BLOG SUCKS!" or "JIM BONNEY SAYS YOUR BLOG SUCKS!!!" or anything like that. These blogs belong to real, live people -- even if it seems like no one could actually be this boring and still have a pulse. So without further ado...

THINGS ACTUALLY COULD GET WORSE LIST

TALKING TAXES: don't be fooled by the catchy title -- this blog is actually all about -- you guessed it, taxes.

MAN OH MANNY: Subtitled, "The Adventures of a First-Time Cat Owner", this one is even more boring and self-indulgent than it sounds. As you peruse it, consider Bonney's Theorem #27: NO ONE ELSE FINDS ANYONE ELSE'S CAT EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTING.

ICE-RIVER: I have no idea what this one says. And there are no pictures. Happy fun time!

GALLERIA: This one only has pictures -- a guy on his bike. That's all. I think all the pictures are different, but I'm not sure. It's hard to tell.

MCCOLLECTOR: for a little more foreign flair, visit this fellow, who collects stuff from different McDonald's around the world. And if that hobby wasn't boring enough, his presentation makes it EVEN MORE BORING!!!

O.K... that's probably enough bad internet karma for one day...



(how many of you read this to make sure that YOUR blog wasn't on the list?!?)

I actually thought "true story" was quite funny--little kids (girls especially in my experience) call 'em as they see 'em and it makes for interesting times.

Personally though, I would have titled THIS entry "Blog Will Eat Itself".

I can't believe you would make fun of my Blog like that - I can't help it if I like cats a whole lot.

Wow--those are all pretty awful, but the McDonald's one made me physically ill. Haven't felt that bad since listening to that song "My Humps".

Is that something to brag about travis (osu)? He knew about the other ones... (regardless how lame they were), but no one knows about yours?

My sympathies.
