Blogwar: V-P Day

ANOTHER UPDATE:  We're at or near a point in this nonsense where feelings are going to be hurt.  I'm done.  And my dog just pulled an entire (*@#$ crab off the counter and ate it shell and all.  I can't see how that passes through him safely.  I'm in no financial position to do anything drastic if there is a problem, and future daughter-in-law didn't bother to tell me until about it until 5 hours after-the-fact.  So I'm pretty well PO'd and not interested in continuing this.

UPDATE: Most blogs support gravatar images, and if you see something inane with my name on it but doesn't have a gravatar of Chance the Wondermutt running on the beach, you know it is phony.

Blogwar: Prepare yourself to be underwhelmed

I've been hard at work refining the algorithm that my Compatibility Matrix^tm evaluates matches on, but I've been interrupted by a Declaration of Blogwar from Patti.  Evidently the default settings for my template had left the "Followers (65)" text the same color as the background, rendering it unreadable to those who don't know the secret of "invisible ink": putting text the same color as the background SO IT IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN SELECTED WITH THE MOUSE.  That's like Blogging 101 level stuff.  It's what happens when ya let girls try to use the computer.  :)

So now she's over at her place crowing about having 66 followers on her blahg and pleading for people to "come out of the closet" and Follow her, all while questioning MY tastes in blogging.  How dare she!  So I've now changed the color of the "Followers" text so she can fully appreciate the fury she hath loosed on the blogosphere.  There will be much carnage!  Picture in your mind (since I don't post many pictures) two really uncoordinated obese kids trying to hit each other with underinflated water balloons.  Yeah, that kind of carnage... Not for the faint of heart.  So if you want to go over there and express your dislike for her tactics, feel free.  Be polite, though, 'cuz beating up on girls is kinda rude.  But whatevah you do, stay in the closet and don't Follow her!

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare...

... A BLOG WAR!!!

One of my favorite things is when one blogger gets ticked at another.  Ace is a master at this, routinely beating up on LGF and Andrew Sullivan.  Good for lotsa laughs.  But now I find myself embroiled in one of my own.  You see, a certain funny guy who calls himself Manhattan Infidel put up a post the other day that caused a Wham! song to get stuck in my head.  I told him that wasn't appreciated.  Instead of doing the polite thing and apologizing, he instead switched into full-auto mode and blasted me with the entire song.  To me, this is a declaration of war.  It is a heinous offense.  Force must be met with force.  So, I beseech thee my readers:  click above and hasten over to his site to tell him what you think.  Suggested replies include something humorously derogatory about the NY Yankees.  Or something comically lauding the Boston Red Sox.  Unfortunately, my readership overlaps his quite a bit, meaning this could get ugly.  But I know you can do it.  I'm countin' on ya!
