What has happened here?
Have I posted too much non-ironic content? Has Google tweaked their search algorithm to
be irony-neutral? Is the word
"irony" massively and inappropriately overused, thus diluting my
content?
It's probably that last thing. I blame Alanis Morissette for releasing a
song about irony*** that contains absolutely nothing ironic in it. Hey Alanis! If you read this blog, and I know
you do, you ruined irony for everyone. I
was at a meeting last week and someone actually said "For lunch today I went
to Subway to get a sub, and ironically I got a Panini instead." That's not ironic, that's just a very
specific sandwich option at a sandwich shop.
On a related note to hipsters: Getting an iced tea at Starbucks
while wearing a bolo, driver's cap, scarf and Atari tee shirt with rainbow legwarmers
under Capri skinny jeans and slippers is not ironic. It's certainly a fashion risk, but not
ironic. You can call it ironic if you
like, but you are still wearing all that crap at a Starbucks in public, and
people can see you. We can. And you look stupid.

Are you always going to post this much? I started following your blog when you were maintaining a much more manageable rate of posting. My feed reader can only really take but so much.
I am the feed reader.
I understand. This pace is ridiculous, and even I can not keep with all of it. Perhaps with time the healing can begin, and perhaps at that point we will not be stricken with the weight of a thousand rods and lashes beating down upon us. On that day all of humanity will truly be free. Or something.
Wait, what?
Oh, I'm not sure now. Just trying to keep up with this torrent of activity.
