I was a bit confused when I got a trackback ping from something called Out of Context. I scratched my head (then my butt) and asked: “What the hooha is all this?”
Turns out our friendly, neighborhood Batgrl has a sporadically updated blog that collects random excerpts from various other blogs and puts them together with absolutely no context whatsoever. So, the intrepid reader is left to ponder at strange utterances like “It’s got topical commentary, Time Cube and Patagonian Death Gerbils; what more could you ask for?” or click on the associated link to find out what the hell the author was talking about.
Brilliant! Get this woman a marketing job. I hear a certain ex-NBC news reporter’s image could use the help, too…
Admit it – it was the entry title that gotcha! I try to make them as weird as possible!
Outta is kinda a hidden blog in some ways – it’s more about getting people to move on to other blogs than staying on the site, or directing hits to it. And then I only update it every now and then – once a week when I’m good.
But I think I need a link for people to email me blogs to take out of context! It’s definitely a fun game. And it gets me out surfing a lot!
It’s better to have taken out of context than never to have been taken out at all.
“have been taken …” (dammit!)
Don’t you just hate it when you don’t see something until this much later?
Grins at Don and nods in agreement.
So far Don is safe from me because he lists his email and no blog. However, no one is safe from Out of Context!
*cue annoying theme music*
It’s kind of like “no one expects the Spanish Inquisition” – only without the great costumes so much less impressive.
You chief weapon is fear. Fear and surprise. Your TWO chief weapons are fear and surprise and nice red uniforms.. ooooooh….
