Thank God the pressure of posting no. 100 is gone, and I can get back to normal blogging. Those of you who know me (hello, random reader who googled "Batman Ear Sex"!) understand that, sadly, I'm not hyperbolizing when I saw I actually spent several days mired in doubt and uncertainty before just panicking and avoiding the interweb altogether. Here were several of the possible ideas for the 100th post (that might be brought back for post #200):- A post from Dog's point of view, in which she exhorted the proletariat to rise up, cast off the shackles of capitalism, and bring her the head of Colonel Montoya (a shiny new donkey to the man who does so!)
- After watching LOST from two weeks ago, an entire post from 1996 time-unstuck me, who is primarily wondering 1) where the hell he is and 2) why he got new shoes; it is estimated that "HoHos are my constant"
- A completely blank post that encouraged the viewer to create their own ur-post; I blame this idea on a current course that's required me to view performance art
- The word "poop" 100 times
- The lyrics to the hit song "Thumby the Dirty Shoemaker"
- A word-for-word reprinting of the very first post on this blog, about Pirate Day
- Listing my 10 favorite comments from posts 1-99
- Posting the 5 best things that never got posted (including a structural reading of the classic film Commando)
- Finally, just posting an innocuous 101st post later that referred to the 100th post, again encouraging the viewer to create their own ur-post...
My only other (possibly legitimate) excuse for my absence was the long-awated release of Smash Brothers for the wii last week. It's pretty much bitchcakes, and thre's even an online option. Even though they dropped a couple of my favorite characters (no Dr. Mario?), the ones they added are all fairly worthwhile - even if I haven't figured out how to use Snake, it's pretty clear that someone who masters the timing of his slow attacks could be more or less unbeatable (I guess the same goes for the Pikmin guy). PB - if you don't have this yet, you should go buy it.
