I Am The Source of Evil In The JBlogosphere

by 7 Comments

It has been a while since I last shared fan mail with my beloved 17 readers. And now I am pleased to present you with a fragment of one of the greatest testimonials that I have ever received.

Dear Jackass,

The reason that so many people hate the jblogosphere and the jibs is because of jerks like yourself. if you leaned how to be a mensch maybe your children wouldn’t be so bad and your wife would love you more. Why don’t you take Ezzie and go away…”

Hmm… I mulled over how to respond to this. I played around with printing the entire email, but it was missing something called grammar. That presented a problem because it was so poorly written that I didn’t think that people would be able to stomach it.

So while I sit here beaming with the pride I derived from your accolades let me share something with you. I am not sure that Serach would appreciate my taking Ezzie away. Not that it wouldn’t be good for him to be exposed to real sports teams. Ask Stacey about how much her life has improved since she left the burning river behind.

I wonder how many blogs there are in the Jblogosphere. I should Ask Shifra. I would guess that there are close to a thousand that are kind of involved in some capacity or another. But in terms of how many are actively updated I bet that the number would drop pretty dramatically.

I’d write more but I am late for a meeting of the Elders Of The Jblogosphere Meeting.

Frum Spanking And More Around The JBlogosphere

by 2 Comments

Amishav is responsible for the term Frum Spanking. Just what kind of Tu B’Shvat Seder did he attend. Tikkun Ger wonders about Yentl. Harley is considering Kaddish. Ezzie has his own roundup to read too.

The Shmata Queen loves Snails. Apparently Ezer Knegdo doesn’t live in a warm climate, on the other hand Sarah is enjoying some beautiful weather here in LA.

Soccer Dad has his own roundup too. You can read it If You Must. And just to round out the roundups here is a link to Chaim’s place.

That is it for now. Be careful in your surfing if you don’t look you’re liable to trip over a roundup. Lately they are everywhere.
