The Dutchess Scans The Blogosphere
This is my first post, so I beg your indulgence. Several weeks ago I purchased a powerful new home computer from Best Buy, a remarkable store in both dimension and auditory input. I was directed from the collection of designer refrigerators by a helpful fellow from Merrill Lynch. Having installed my powerful home computer I subscribed for Internet service using the Earl’s Own Dial-Up and Home Counties telephonic services privatised at some point by a deluded Parliament. Don’t get me started as Joan Rivers says! The service fellow was an Elvis impersonator and terribly amusing.
As chair of All West Book and Literacy Society, I was keen to begin reading the online diaries of those interested in literature. They span the globe! Once freed from the shackles of our local rag, whose book reviewer shall remain nameless, I proceeded to utilize RSS feeds from the earl’s recently renovated garage at the rear of his property. To celebrate we rented Red Dawn and consumed popcorn.
Being utterly new to this endeavor I was shocked by the Salon article in which one young fellow attacks another young fellow and the many comments ensuing therefrom. Yes, there have been All West meetings where members have become physical, usually Virginia Wolfe supporters, if I may say, unmoored from civility by her prose. We had to cancel the entire Female Eunich program after Mrs. Aemilia Bell throttled Lord Carver-Ulmstead atop the punch bowl table. Not a drop was spilled! The earl says we should charge admission. My dear fellow, we do.
I am a bit shocked by the bickering, more pleased to see the sort of discussion that The Rake and Tingle Alley have sponsored. Splendid! More of that, less back biting. The Earl will be pleased to learn that my cousin, Ursula, is blogging the NFL this season. There is, apparently, a dearth of linebacking skills she deplores in real time. Ursula is quick to note the plethora of three deep zones on long yardage plays. It’s all fascinating.
