Ron: To blog, or not to blog: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the sitemeter to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous trackbacks,
Or to block sender against a sea of troubles,
And by blocking end them? To die: to link to that dying;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural hits
That blog is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd and linked to. To die, to sleep;
To link to that sleep: perchance to dreamblog: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what posts may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal blogosphere,
Must give us pause: blah de blah,
a bare bodkin dot blogspot dot com!
To grunt and sweat while reading Josh Corey,
But that the dread of something after blog,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No googler returns, puzzles the firewall!
Thus comment fields does make cowards of us all and—
Curtis: THE POST AVANTS ARE HERE!
These immortal lines are taken from Jim Behrle’s That Silliman Sitcom: The Pilot, the greatest something – perhaps spoof – at least since the invention of Corn Flakes. You can read the script here. You can actually see the performance here. Note that it takes two blog messages to get the whole script in. Note also Jim Behrle’s carefully planned costume. And I definitely recommend downloading the video to your own PC to get maximum visual quality, such as it is. My one complaint is that the actor portraying Jordan Davis could have been a little more believable.
Oh, and for the record, no, I don’t eat Corn Flakes.
