What the hell is a Blog?
« on: September 21, 2004, 11:37:25 AM »
I keep hearing this term.

Blog...Blogger, etc.

I think it has something to do with people's online daily journals.

What does this have to do with news and why bother reading these things?

I think it has something to do with the liberal anti-war media. Very biased I should think.

Or maybe it means 'biographical log' and is another redundant neologism that has replaced the word 'diary'. That would be my guess.

Yep, online journals.

Why read it?  Beats me why anyone would.  I think it is preferable to have a life than spend your time reading about someone elses.

I might just start a blog if anyone would pay to read it.  :D

Maybe I will start one and fill it full of wild BS and see who believes it.

thats never been done before

most "blogs" are utter nonsence already, and they continually fade out in like 2-3 months anyway
I don't know what to put here yet.

Exactly!!  The really funny thing is you can pretend to be anyone you wish to be.  Then chuckle as agenda laden simpletons waddle along, C&P your writings and regurgitate it as facts and gospel all across the intardnet.

Hmmmmmm...... I thought a blog was that lump of crap stuck in your throat  when you wake up after puttin down a half of case and a 5th of Cuervo topped off with a couple of packs of cigs.

blogs are BS deposits in the arteries causing blogged arteries.
