The state of blogging these days


I have been pretty tired the last couple of days so I haven't been following some of the more extraneous blogs these days so I don't know what was going on. I didn't even have the strength too watch the Giants game and doncha know the fucks go off and win a fucking game.

I have been trying to go out and walk and get back in the game and after coming back and eating I am pretty tired so I take a nap or go back to bed when I used to post or surf the Internet.

Anyway today I was feeling better and started looking around. I got a heads up when youse guys said that the Evil Blogger Lady's best girlfriends Inga, Freeman and Lem were posting up a storm to drive traffic her way. Then I saw the new legal blog rankings and I had to wonder. Is it true? Or do the numbers not reflect what is happening there. I think Michael Haz said that TOP is now a lifeless place. It seems to me that Inga has become the dominant voice and ignoring them has shown the right results. It is dying on the vine. Soon it will be just a vanity blog.


Speaking of vanity blogs I also went to visit our friend Crack who is crying the blues these days. Interestingly Leisure Suit Larry is making appearances bragging how he is sending money to crack. The funniest thing is that is insinuating that Cody and Sixty and I are the same person. He has done this before as though he couldn't believe that more than one person couldn't like him. It is pretty funny that the sock puppet king is always calling other people out as sock puppets. Just fucking amazing.

All of this is amusing in a passing interest kind of way. I have other things to worry about so I am not sweating it when before I would jump right in and mix it up. I am just trying to get healthy and throw out a blog post here and there and an occasional comment. I fall asleep at the TV and sometimes Fox is on and I wake up to the news and get all in an uproar. I need to stick to Munster reruns.

Suffice it to say that Leisure Suit Larry and the Ladies of TOP deserve each other and I hope they make a big sweaty pile and enjoy themselves.

Maybe. A hedge against Obamacare. Industry or healthcare administration.

Done with sadness, though.

@Palladian

True, more like eggshell.

True, more like eggshell.

"Indian splattered with hog threeway bleating
Ghosts crowd young Titus' fragile eggshell mind."

Sox 8, Meadebirds 1 (on a late solo hr).

you suppose Lempster is pleasuring himself?

Chip S. said...

Probably. I'm just here to kill time during my refractory cycle, myself.

Icepick said...

Keep your powder dry, EP, he is impervious to anything that can be delivered via a blog.

No. He's vulnerable to the right amount of offhand derision. I'm not going to bother figuring out exactly what it would take, but he is vulnerable. He's just too needy.

Trooper York said...

I saw what you guys did on that thread over at Lem's.

Pretty funny.

I would have put "What this blog needs is more people who want to do the work instead just being on the masthead. What are you guys? Obama voters?"

Icepick said...

And today Althouse is throwing up Titus bait. (Saw the headline on Lem's and took a quick peek.) Really? Are things that bad in Madison?

blake said...

Pogo--

Good to see you around. Sorry about, you know, screwing up your livelihood and all that.

Cody Jarrett said...

Probably they are, Icepick. Have you seen how many goddam dog videos there are lately?

I like dogs. But jesus it's creepy. Guy doesn't have a dog but wanders around dog parks with a video camera. I'm shocked he doesn't get the po po down on him. Seriously.

Didn't one of the city council get jugged for videoing in public like that? Charge of public creep or something.

Darcy said...

You're on to something, Cody.

And that post AA linked is an example of what EP was talking about - Titus being vicious towards him. Coinky?

Icepick said...

Probably they are, Icepick. Have you seen how many goddam dog videos there are lately?

I haven't. I have been to A-house two or three times in the last few days, until this time following leads from people here.

But mostly I'm not that interested anymore. She ran a good site for fomenting discussion for a long time, but when she and her hubby told most of the conversationalists to fuck off, I decided I was done. (I consider the drop dead date not when she closed comments, but when they pulled that crap with Palladian. Tacky, amongst other things.)

And for a week or so after she closed comments I had run my own mirror site. Frankly, within the time I was doing it, I was putting more into than she was. That might have been a bad week of blogging for her, but once I started reacting directly to the posts I realized that her quality had dropped off over time. Even her short, breezy posts had been better back in the day. (I had actually been going through her archives for a while, adding comments to posts that hadn't seen the light of day in years. That was actually kind of fun.)

Oh well, it was a thing in its day, and for my its day is done. But I will look at the wreckage from time to time.

The Dude said...

We need to take these comments over to another thread that is easier to access.

But thanks for the heads up - when I am at market I greet the dogs I know, sometimes I even know the owner's name, and dog sit some of the canines when the owners go to the part of the market where dogs are not allowed.

Didn't even think that what I was doing was anything other than being nice towards dogs. I like dogs, but don't want to be considered a freak or anything.

Or worse yet, a Meade. *shudder*

If my mom and I engaged in a Facebook conversation about makeup and grooming and icky neckties.....I'd be humiliated off this planet by my friends.

And the reference to Titus as a "long-time comic character" tends to confirm my suspicion that Altmouse plays the Titus role as her whimsy dictates.

blake said...

A lot of people have said that Titus is real, so I'm inclined to--well, I'm really inclined to not care.

But his constant coy references to almost meeting people set off my sock-puppet warning.

Michael Haz said...

Blake - I put Titus and Inga into the same category. There is probably a real human there somewhere, but Altmeade can borrow the identity and use it to post comments when they wish.

Cody Jarrett said...

Greeting a dog is different than taking a video camera to a dog park.

And his recent fascination is to get at the dog's level. So now he's crawling about on all 4's.

I don't like her or her husband, but she does pick out interesting things to write about from time to time. I don't know if it was today or not but her link to the photographer who's wife died from cancer was pretty interesting. Fabulous shots.


Yes, Darcy, coincidence. Titus--whoever or whatever s/he is has a grudge against Chick for some reason. SO whenever Titus has half a chance Titus attacks Chick.

At least that's what I think. But I'm stoopid.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

200 posts!


Something TOP will never see again and hasn't since the create summer exodus. Much less 100.

Cody Jarrett said...

Well hell, all the post whores are here.

Icepick said...

Well hell, all the post whores are here.

Hey, I'm no whore! I do all of this for free. That makes me a slut.

Michael Haz said...

Where'd Titus comment about Chickie?

Darcy said...

Sixty, I didn't want to elaborate, but you are so far away from Meadeing!

The Dude said...

Aw, Darce - you can't know how much that means to me to hear that from you. I really like dogs, but I also have enough control over my own life to be able to acquire, treat, feed, groom and walk my own dogs.

They are something I rarely find in humans - loyal.

And, changing subjects deftly, and for what I hope is the last time, I think Titus is merely an opportunist. If he sees and opening and a chance to draw some attention to himself, he takes it. I don't think he can read here, but it wouldn't surprise me if some loser like Cracker or Rit Mo was providing him with information - that seems a more likely scenario. Without knowing what is written here even a demented sick bastard like Titus can probably guess pretty accurately what is said about him. May God have mercy on his perverted soul.

You'd have to follow the bread crumbs Althouse left at her post about Titus.

I'm toying with putting up post with a photo of my dog at Lem's. I know this would garner the scorn and derision of Althouse copycatting though. Still, it would be the dog post Althouse would never do.

Cody Jarrett said...

So Chickie...have you ovulated recently?

:)

chickelit said...

Cody, that was a dig at Inga. Why should it have irked Titus?

Cody Jarrett said...

Because you've done (said) something that's pissed off either the real Titus (if there's such a thing) or the person(s) controlling the Titus account. So they use any opportunity to attack you. You know how that stuff works.

Besides, today (or that day) Titus and Inga are palzzz. Probably the same puppeteer.

chickelit said...

That just confirms another suspicion, Cody.

Did you see Inga's dig at Troop on that thread? I'm deliberately staying away, but I would comment that Inga was banned too and just spews sour grapes of wrath.

Michael Haz said...

*Topic interruption*

It's a boy!

Grandchild number two born this morning. Fingers and toes all accounted for. Parents elated; grandparents even more so.

*Resume normal traffic*

The Dude said...

Congratulations, Haz - that is wonderful news. I trust all involved are doing well.

Your family is growing - awesome!

Cody Jarrett said...

Congratulations, Mr. Haz!

That's really great. I'm pleased for you.

Cody Jarrett said...

I did see it, Chicks. And I confess...despite being an almost bottomless well of useless knowledge, I hadda google what she was talking about.

I never did get my metrosexual merit badge.

chickelit said...

Great news, Haz!

chickelit said...

@Cody: I meant the thread today where she spews about Baron Zemo and getting banned...

Icepick said...

Congrats, Haz!

Cody Jarrett said...

oh, nope then.

Darcy said...

Congrats, Michael! Lovely news.

Trooper York said...

Hey Grandpa congratulations. Now that you are all growed up and a grandpa it is time to put away childish things and drop the Packers as your team.

You need to root for the Giants so you know what adult suffering is really like.

Michael Haz said...

@Cody: I meant the thread today where she spews about Baron Zemo and getting banned...

May I suggest that when referring to a topic on another blog that we include the name of the topic, or some other identifying information?

I'd like to read that which has been referred to, but I don't want to read every one of her topics and all the comments in order to figure out what has been said.

Thanks.

chickelit said...

@Haz: OK, I feel like I'm feeding something but here

Michael Haz said...

Got it. Thanks, Pollo.

Trooper York said...

New thread about this posted above. Just sayn'

blake said...

Congratulations, Hazpa!

Chip S. said...

Have fun w/the newbie, grandpa.

Michael Haz said...

Thanks for all the congratulations, friends. They are appreciated!
