The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

9 May 2008

Local boys make good

Me, I rather enjoyed the Gazette's take on The Lost Ogle, partly because author Rod Lott apparently talked to actual Ogles at some point, but mostly for Tony's final point:

"I don't think people realize how hard it is to put up good content every day. And I'm not saying we do that."

Seldom are truer words spoken in blogdom.

Still, the piece gave short shrift — scarcely any shrift at all, in fact — to where Tony, Clark Matthews (how come he rates a surname?) and Patrick might be going with this little enterprise of theirs. With that in mind, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:

  • Find a picture of Jenni Carlson in a bikini.
  • And then don't post it.
  • Drive Jim Traber to tears.
  • Drive Jim Traber to Saskatchewan.
  • Put together a petition to nominate Gary England for a Nobel Peace Prize.

This should secure their future for the next ten years or ten million page views, whichever comes first.

Gary England.. that is a name I haven't heard in a while. Back when I was domesticated, my then husband would occasionally ask me what the weather for that day was supposed to be. My response was usually, "Do I look like Gary England to you??" I stopped asking him that when one day he responded with, "Sometimes."

One of those is already in the works.

And Tony has a surname, Hanadarko, which is just rarely used.

With gas prices the way they are, I am not going to drive Jim Traber anywhere at all.
