Blogged like a Dog

1: I hereby declare this page "Blogged."

2: No good can come of this!

1: Shush! I'm mid Blog.

3: Hey what's up?

2: Apparently we're "blogging" now...

3: "Blogging?" What the hell is that?

1: You know, you're really ruining the moment here...

2: I'm not sure exactly. I've been doing some research and what I've figured out so far is that it starts out with a commitment to resolute celibacy and self-absorption. Also, you have to be able to write about absolutely nothing.

3: Hurm... interesting. Go on...


2: Well, from what I gather it's some sort of new mating ritual. You know how guys used to have to learn how to play guitar to get laid?

3: Yeah. That sucked. My fingers are tired.

2: Totally, me too. But now instead of focusing all that angsty energy into an instrument, you can just whine about it online.

3: And that's... cool?

2: Apparently.

3: And the celibacy?

2: Oh that's just step one. Once you start posting a mix of pity and... what's that called, when you see a car crash and you can't look away?

3: Trance-like Horror?

2: Yeah, that. Anyway, apparently chick's dig it.

3: Shouldn't that be "chicks" not "chick's?"

2: Nooooo dude. In the new digital world, good grammer is bad and bad grammer is good, and using things like "2" to substitute for to or too or two (I guess).

3: Huh... sounds 2 idiotic 4 words. I'm in.

2: Yeah, me too, definitely, it's totally s2pid, and I'm all for it. I mean, no good can come of it, but still. If "chick's" dig it...

1:...I hate you guys.
