A Day May Come...



Hold your ground! Hold your ground!

Sons and Daughters of Blogspot, of Wordpress, of tumblr and Movable Type, my brothers and sisters, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of bloggers fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship...

But it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered laptops, when the age of blogs comes crashing down...

But it is not this day!

This day we blog!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Bloggers of the West!

What are we standing for? I'll probably do it, I just don't know what's going on right now.

Greg said...

I'm pretty sure movie bloggers are the last defense against injustice in the world. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.

Anyway, I think we're going to start fighting pirates or something.

bill r. said...

Oh, okay. I can do that. Do we have to bring our own weapons, or...

Greg said...

I've got an extra butter knife if you need it, but I want it back at lunch.

bill r. said...

At lunch?? Shit, this is happening today??? Who planned this thing!?

Greg said...

[Greg looks around nervously]...

Uh... Rick... Yeah! Rick planned it! That's who. It was Rick. Boy what a dumbass.

[Greg nervously whistles and looks over his shoulder as he slowly backs away]

bill r. said...

Where's Rick?? I'm going to beat the hell out of him...

Greg said...

Ha ha, yeah [Greg says anxiously]... boy, I'd like to give him a punch too... ha, ha.

Peter Nellhaus said...

"Anyway, I think we're going to start fighting pirates or something."

DVD pirates? Disney pirates? It's always something.

bill r. said...

Greg, I just beat up Rick. He kept screaming, "What'd I do!? What'd I do!? I didn't do nothin'!! Aw, please don't hurt me anymore!" Then he started crying. But I wasn't having any of that! He screwed up, so he needed to pay the price!

Thanks for telling me it was him. I would have hated to take my anger out on the wrong guy.

Greg said...

[Greg slyly pushes DVD burner under desk and closes door to room with thousands of black market DVD cases]...

Uh... yeah, Peter... uh... it's DVD Pirates were fighting. Yeah, DVD pirates. Don't see any around here though.

Greg said...

[Greg reads Bill's comment. Thinks to self, "DVD pirating and Bill beating up Rick. Boy, maybe this post was a bad idea. Maybe I should delete it. No, just act like everything's fine. They'll totally buy it]...

Good job Bill! That'll show him!

[Greg nervously adjusts collar and makes "hehhhhhh hehhh hehhhh" sound]

Fox said...

I just ripped a leaked video of Bill beating up Rick from one of those torrent sites. Man... those things go up fast.

You got skills Bill, but did you really need to do that in the middle of a church service???

bill r. said...

Something just occurred to me, Greg. With Rick in the hospital, we're going to be one man down when we have to fight those pirates later today. And Rick was pretty good with a sword. I hope we don't all get killed because of this.

Arbogast said...

When do we show the enemy our bare butts? I always love that part.

bill r. said...

Fox - In church is where I found him. I didn't put him there.

Greg said...

When do we show the enemy our bare butts? I always love that part....

Right after I get our blue facepaint ready.

What? Rick was in charge of that too? Man, this sucks!

Fox said...

When do we show the enemy our bare butts? I always love that part.---

Are pirates frightened by sodomy, or something???

OR...

Greg said...

You got skills Bill, but did you really need to do that in the middle of a church service???...

Fox - In church is where I found him. I didn't put him there....

[Greg recalls earlier conversation with Rick: "Rick, go to your church, you'll be safe there. Don't ask from who, just go!"]...

Yeah, Fox, he found him in church, come on man!

Fox said...

[This is a werid comment thread, I wonder if Greg's alcoholia is acting up today...]

Greg said...

[Greg suddenly realizes he has typed out all of his thoughts and can read Fox's as well.]...

On to other topics, don't miss Jarvis' movie tomorrow on The Invisible Edge. He made it himself. I'm very excited to see it myself.

Fox said...

OK... so, can someone tell me about the "moth skull" picture represents on the Cinema Styles sidebar??? It's not linked to anything so it appears very oblique.

bill r. said...

It's just a symbol for Greg's new death cult. Don't worry about it.

Greg said...

It's from a movie. I like the design. At first glance it looks like the Playboy icon but then a double take reveals a more sinister picture. Mwahhahahahaha!!!

PIPER said...

Greg,

I have Fox riding on the horse with me, but he is much too small to really be a warrior, but don't look. He's wearing a helmet, so he looks like a warrior, but again, he is much too small. And harry. But he'll give it his best. Just don't look over here, okay?

Fox said...

Bill & Greg-

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? (I'm thinking that we should all get that picture tattooed on our forearms!)

PIPER-

Dude... that entire comment you left was super homoerotic.

PIPER said...

Homo-what?

Fox, keep your $12 words outta here and just let me sing my show-tunes.

Who's up for The Music Man?

Greg said...

PIPER - Now that I've read Fox's comment I'm seeing your comment in a whole new light. I'm confused. Is Fox a hobbit or your catamite?

Fox, that is a tattoo by the way, worn by the lead character in the movie.

PIPER said...

Catamite?

Is that like Vegemite?

Arbogast said...

And harry.Let's leave him out of this.

Greg said...

PIPER - Uh, not quite. I learned the word years ago from Anthony Burgess, courtesy of one of the greatest opening lines in all of literature, from his novel Earthly Powers... based loosely on the person of Somerset Maugham. The opening line:

“It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me.”

How can you not read further after that opener? One day the same thing will happen to you and Fox.

Brian Doan said...

This day we blog!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Bloggers of the West!

So say we all! So say we all!

[Brian walks away whistling, always happy to drop another Battlestar Galactica reference into a comments section...]

Fox said...

And harry. Let's leave him out of this.---

But, see, that's the trouble with Harry.

Greg said...

Brian walks away whistling, always happy to drop another Battlestar Galactica reference...

Brian has confused me. And why are we all whistling today?

Ryan Kelly said...

Death by sexy cars. Fun.

Marilyn said...

What have you boys been up to while I've been gone? Fighting and conquering the universe again? Everyone, take out your notebooks and write 100 times, "I will not make war on the universe," while I help Rick wash the blood out of his beard. This is going to take a while...

Greg said...

It was all Bill's fault. I just wanted to defend against injustice.

PIPER said...

Marilyn,

While you're cleaning Rick's beard, if you could look for a mace and a double handed battle ax in there, that would be much appreciated. I've been looking all over.

Marilyn said...

Greg - I don't care whose fault it is. You know better than that, young man.

Piper - You'll poke your eye out!

Greg said...

Yes ma'am.
