Faintly amusing

A bunch of A-listers have created the blog equivalent of a circle jerk. In search of the best blonde joke ever you click on a link, say this one. That sends you round the circle, here. Still no payoff, but hey, keep clicking. And round again. Eventually — oh blessed cathartic relief — you end up on a blank page!

Geddit?

Reminiscent of that old one, about how do you keep a ______________ (insert member of other community that you wish to denigrate here) amused for hours? Give him a piece of paper with P.T.O. written on both sides.

How we laughed.

Later … turns out it wasn’t the A-listers who did it. and it isn’t a joke at all. It is a serious effort at internetworknodeanalysis. Really! I am SO out of the loop it hurts.

Now this is hard! Is A Blond being post modern and deconstructivist? Or does he/she really not get it?

I’ll try to find out.

Post modern? Deconstructive? My head hurts.

Dear Blong

Are you, in fact, a dyslexic blond? I think you may be. But fear not, help is at hand. All you need to do is study the works of Anita Loos, which in modern terms is essentially a hackers’ guide for the fair of hair, and all will be well.

Take it slowly, and you’ll be fine.
