Well, He's Always Been Nice To Me...

Via fellow Blogspot survivor Tim Blair, I've been enjoying The dullest blog in the world. It reminds me a lot of Scott Dikkers' old comic strip Jim's Journal (no relation). Just chronicling the minutiae of a very boring guy's life. No punchlines, no drama, not much of anything at all. And yet gradually it starts to crack you up. A while back I considered starting a blog along those lines. You know, being even less interesting than usual, to the point where it became funny. But I wouldn't have done nearly as good a job of being stultifyingly dull as this guy. Which is a compliment. I think.

Also via Tim, here's a funny picture of an old dude trying to melt the ass off a wax statue of J. Lo with his hot grubby hands. Although she kind of looks more like a young Eartha Kitt, is that just me?

Tim's alright, you know. I don't always get what he's talking about, with all the stuff about Aussie politicians and TV shows nobody in the civilized world has ever heard of, but he's good with the zingers. Seems like most of the people who really hate him have no discernible sense of humor, so I think it's less of a left/right thing than a stick/no-stick-up-the-ass thing.

And if I was a woman or a homo or just really really blitzed, I'd probly do 'im. Fortunately for him, I am none of those things at the time of this writing.
