dismiss-AL

Wherein Al explains why he deleted Fred's brilliant post.

Fred's genius is, indeed, unparalleled in the blog universe. This much is clear. His latest (and perhaps greatest) achievement was the insertion of a "Fuck This Shit" button in our blog. Forget that this button appeared all over the net and blogdom latterly. What made it brilliant was Fred's deft placement in our stream of content and his witty commentary ("Al's Anthem") that accompanied the button. Unfortunately, the button opened Pandora's box and F'ed our nice little blog up. (Something in the code, I assume.) At any rate, after consulting with the boys on this, I deleted the post. However, I refuse to leave a vacuum (though I know you will all feel the absence, the emptiness anyway). In its place, I've tried to bring you something that might be a suitable replacement.





A Dick Joke:

A professor gives his physiology class a spot quiz. One question he asks is, "What part of the human anatomy expands to ten times its normal size during periods of intense emotion and excitement?" He picks a rather overdressed girl in the front row to answer it. "Miss Callahan!" The indicated girl, who heard the question, stammers with some embarrassment: "Professor, I'd rather not answer that question." The professor says, "That's all right, Miss Callahan, you don't need to answer it. Is there anyone present who can answer it?" He notes an interested face in the back of the classroom. "Mr. Hawkins!" Hawkins says, "Yes, Professor, it is the pupil of the eye that expands to ten times its normal size during periods of emotion and excitement." The professor says, "That is correct, Mr. Hawkins." Then he turns to Miss Callahan. He says, "Young lady, two things are obvious from your reaction to this question. One, you haven't studied this week's assignment; and Two, I'm afraid marriage is going to be a tremendous disappointment to you."

Dude:

I know it is life diminishing to have your best cut and paste work wasted, to have your greatest moment of borrowed-material-brilliance blasted away, to have your grab and go genius gutted. But at least you can say you tried.

Here's something I thought of just recently. Perhaps it will comfort you:
Keep in mind, Fred. The credit belongs to the blogger who is actually in the digital arena, who strives valiantly; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
