Big Blogger Blabbermouth


Just a short note from the frozen hinterland, folks...

I had to delete my second-most-recent post in which I detailed the sports I'd be covering all this week, including the one involving rocks and ice. That sport is hurling, except with a c as the first letter, not an h.

In fact, as my brief explanation following shows, I'm the one with rocks -- in my head.


That sport is so popular in Canada that it turns out at least one website devoted entirely to it found that post, liked it, they know who I am and who I write for and what I'm covering, and they linked to it from their website.

So that might have brought all kinds of people -- who read my stuff in the newspaper I write for and who assume I'm objective and all, which I am -- to my blogsite, where I write about all kinds of stuff: zany, personal or what-have-you.

I was going to delete my blog altogether but I figured I could just delete that post, which I did.

So if anyone was wondering where that post went, it's vaporized.
Now I can go back into hibernation. Carry on. And as they say in (h)urling, HURRY HARD!

    How Orwellian.
    That is a shame because you did not say anything untoward the boring, I mean snoring, I mean roaring game.

    I presume that my less than flattering desecration, er description, of the game didn't help matters...but you never agreed with it anyway?

    When you are off the clock you are allowed to have a few civil rights..BUT,
    I'm not a celebrity like you are so I never give much thought to my mental masturbatory meanderings. You however have an image to maintain so I understand your dilemma.

    So it's time to go underground. New avatar, title, layout. You should have your place swept for bugs and see if your phone is tapped. Shred your mail and start deleting your files. If I see you on the street I will pretend not to know you.

    Good Luck John Smith.

  2. What's with the buck buck bucka? Sometimes, you're so obscure (or I'm so dense).

    No, I didn't say anything bad. But obviously I've found out that it's just too easy for people to google a sport and find my blog.

    Your less than flattering opinion wasn't what I was worried about.

    I just didn't want and don't want there to be any association or blurring the lines between me the journalist and me the private person, unless those people know me or unless they live outside the province and so wouldn't likely care anyway.

    I do this completely on my own. Although I might talk about work sometimes, no more than anyone else, I don't think.

    I dunno...think I need a new avatar and title and all? Might as well start a new blog then...

  3. Alas for our lack of anonymity on this Weirdly Wonderful World Wide Web (WWWWW). I'm sorry you had to delete the post, and I'm extremely glad you didn't delete your blog!!

    I'm glad I don't ever post about anything interesting or meaningful, so nobody important will link to my blog :)

  4. Stace:

    You forgot Whacky.

    And never say you don't post about anything meaningful. You do. It maybe just doesn't invite public interest in the same way. :-)

  5. I'm so glad you didn't delete your blog, WW. You are a fantastic writer and I so love hearing about your life. It really would be a shame to see that go away.

  6. well, I get round here eventually and you've deleted it before I got a chance to read about it!

  7. Don't scare me like that. You'd have to come back under a pseudonym (another, that is) if you were forced to delete your blog.

  8. Just as well you didn't delete it or I would have given you a big smack for being a naughty boy.

    Aw, garsh...I comes and I goes about this blogging thing.

    Let's put it this way: It isn't the greatest for the waist line or some other life pursuits.

    But it sure is captivating of the mind and soul, sometimes.

    'Sides, if I want to go, I'll go on my own terms, dammit!

    :-)

    Ziggi:

    I guess that means you don't fly out here often enough then, huh? Get a broom that goes at the speed of light!

    Andrea:

    I'd just become an Angel like you and photoshop my own head on to an angel or tinkerbell or fairie or whatever it is you are...

    Not sure what I'd call myself tho...Without Within? Spaces from Snippets Orion?

    Lee:

    Naughty boy, then? A smack, then? (chills run up and down back...)

    Keshi:

    Yep, I've taken over the acronym BBB from the Better Business Bureau. It's mine, all mine!

  15. *waves*

    *hurries back to work*

    I'll be back! :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Keshi:

    I think that song was recorded in 1959, when I was 4. I think he may very well be dead, or almost.

    I'll check it out. What would funeral clothes be for you?

    Did he use the words Boom Boom Baby in that song? Maybe the guy's cooler than I thought.

    Awaiting:

    A wave is always better and less painful than a kick in the balls. But what are you doing working at 1:11 a.m. Eastern Time?

  23. Toasty...

    I'm not sure what a blue rinse is, actually, but that shows my complete ignorance of modern culture (or female fashion fixer-uppers or thingamabobs), I guess.

    I'll google it.

    And hey! I never said you were old! All we've got to go by is that dancing chicken!!! And your feet in those cow slippers!

    Lee:

    I'll check it out, girl. Thanks! That didn't take long...

    Keshi:

    MAJOR TEASE!

  25. Toasty et al:

    Blue Rinse, from Wikipedia:

    "A blue rinse is a dilute hair dye used to reduce the yellowed (or translucent, showing scalp colour) appearance of greying hair on older women. The blue rinse supposedly makes yellow-white hair appear blue-white, but an inexpertly applied blue rinse will leave a distinctly unnatural tinge behind.

    The phrase entered popular culture as a term for elderly women, the blue rinse brigade. An alternative term is "blue hair." It has declined in popularity with the increasing popularity of home dyeing, the reduced prevalence of smoking (which yellows the hair) and with society's more relaxed attitude to aging."

    So, I ask, does society have a more relaxed attitude to male pattern baldness?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Aint nowt wrong with baldness, unless someone has one of them dam aweful combovers :) - ya know, 3 hairs one way, 2 hairs the other way and 4 hairs to the back LOL...

    If I was married to 'combover man' I would snip it off in the night :)

    Soooooooo call me mean, I aint bovvered lol

  27. I never got to see the post. :(

    And I still can't figure out why your blog is blocked due to sexual content when I try to view it from work. How odd.

    I thought comb-overs were all the rage over there in the United Kinkdom. No?

    Anna:

    At the risk of inviting all kinds of abuse, it must be my highly-charged sexual persona doing it. (*Runs away*)

  30. WW aww tnxx for that comment in my blog.

    btw I didnt say ALL men r Baboons..lol! Only the ones I hv met so far :)


    HUGGGGGGGGGGZ!
    Keshi.

  31. Keshi:

    No problem. But I do think you've got the wrong idea about the male gender of the species.

    All of us men are baboons in a way (particularly that one moron with the James Dean avatar who keeps commenting on your blog, but that's not my business; he's just annoying).

    I make fun of my simple, small, one-track mind/brain all the time. Do we all want sex all the time? Of course.

    But is that where it needs to stop? No. Some of us are at least slightly more complex and sophisticated than that.

    And in keeping with the conditions you imposed on your post, I will NOT tell you that if you use the power that any female has, you will find a male who will want to give you the whole enchilada to be with you.

    Yeah, I'm still here. Otherwise, you would have heard a "Poof!"
