Please Stand By

To write a weblog [yes, yes, I know: "or 'blog'"] is inherently self-referential. You're writing, day after day, what you're thinking about or pointing to what you think is interesting or ridiculous. And there's a lot of that going around.

But if you talk about the fact of talking about what you're thinking, then you've descended one extra step toward standing in the middle of the circle of mirrors that does no more than reflect you. And even we find that boring. (Well, after a while.)

Accordingly, we have refrained here at G&S from posting about blogging per se, or about our own blogging experiences, or about this or that blogging milestone. I mean, really: Just shut the Hell up, yes? Yes.

But a matter has come to our attention that fills us with such childish, hopping-up-and-down, spontaneous hand-clapping glee that we will simply burst if we do not share.

Go to GOOGLE.
Enter "glib and superficial" as your search term.
DO NOT include the quotation marks (that would be cheating).
Hit the button marked "I'm Feeling Lucky."

See? SEE?!
Is that way cool, or what??!??

Thank you for your attention. You've been a great audience. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Inasmuch as I'm pretty much, well, family ... I would really, really appreciate a copy of the Hired Hand post removed "by the author." I just love it when you boys fight! And, BTW, the Google thing was extraordinarily cool.
