After checking around my (admittedly small) blogging world this morning, I have learned that I am woefully undereducated. It seems, there is what appears to be, an unwritten law, a vital piece of web log etiquette that I did not know....
Pandering is a required prerequisite for successful online relations....(in case anyone is reading this.. ;-) )
My problem with pandering is that it is not honest. It suggest's that the person you are pandering to is not worthy of real praise..
So, with this thought in mind, I have decided to go against the tide, (big surprise) and only speak and write the absolute truth here. No false gushing or petty fawning here. No pandering, even if it is all the rage at "all the other blog's" Only the truth and nothing but the truth..
I wish to publicly retract my personal "2nd or maybe 3rd" ranking of Irish-Girls slam performance.
WHAT WAS I THINKING??
Number 1!!!!!! Number 1!!!! Number 1!!!!!!!
Her one woman show of poetry, was the highlight of all time, for all wordsmiths everywhere. A confluence of genius and beauty such as the world, nay, the universe has ever seen. (and yes I am willing to admit I made a mistake in my 20 greatest genius's of all time..and I have rectified that) Sorry to all involved for my misunderstanding.
All Hail Irish-Girl!!! Queen of the Universe!!..
P.S. I will be following this post with others. I will soon be exclaiming ALL my blogging friends to be magnificent beings....except for the one leaking personal data ... ;-)
P.S.S. Does anybody sleep?
P.S.S.S. I gotta go. My first lesson just got here. Time to spread a little larnin around.. later

Posted by: mopsa on February 16, 2003 03:31 PMhappy birthday, jack! you are a good friend, a smart guy, and fun to hang out with, too. even if you pander like a cheap hooker short on rent money. ;^)
Posted by: jeremy w on February 16, 2003 04:40 PMdamn.. I feel left out.. I guess I am the late commer..wishing Jack a happy birthday.. you'd think I would be first.. I've known him longer then any other posters here, at least I'm pretty sure of that. humph. so let me just say for the record that Jack doesn't pander to the wishes of the masses, well, there was that one time he ate pig feed, and that time he ate the scorching hot chili.. hmmm, maybe he does pander to the masses.
Happy Birthday
Posted by: bill on February 16, 2003 05:46 PMWell actually if we are on record, it was not just the one time that I ate the pig feed.
It was a bit I improvised in the first show of a 40 show series that I did for an agriculture corporation. The bit turned out killer funny and after the show the CEO said, "Keep that part in whatever you do". After that, I was stuck with doing it for the remaining 39 shows.....
I really should have thought about that before I did the bit, because that stuff tasted nasty.
....however, it WAS a very funny bit that I proceeded to milk for all it was worth in the following weeks and you know me ..anything for a laugh....
