The Trouble With Tribbles

A long time ago, I had a different blog that wasn't really for a radio show.  It was instead a place where I tried to write funny things.  Later on, I did a radio show that shared the name of the blog, & occasionally posted playlists there, but eventually I went back to write funny things.  I should say "funny things."  Mostly they weren't very funny.  I will pick one at random as proof (this is from almost exactly seven years ago):

Inconvenient Prophecies! New Year's Irresolution!
Banish yes the furthermore thoughts of ill-repute in this divine sector of soul galaxy number one! Sub rosa ab ovo the fiercest of charlatans will converge on chatter-town & blatherskite within mere moments of the veil-lift in upper lower & sideways round! Come ye closer no more to always hear what lies aboveboard resisting both law & urge as scoop reveals what stab cannot!

Brethren? Is that thee? Hasn't harpies made killjoy of arse all? Sit if you can't stand, stand if you must, but one more glowing comet in the sky hand-shackles the dimly-lit mind of human racers! Didst thou not ken it were an competition? Sit or stand as my main man unfolds the map of the plan on the bandstand hand-to-hand & back again! The soundtrack of your laughter!

Were you never called Betsy as a rule? Didn't someone ever break a rose in your face? If wine makes you cry, do you keep bottles filled with winter & dew? When someone takes your pulse, do they hear the roaring twenties? Let us now in effect disregard the efficacious yes/no question as volcanoes ignore somnambulism! Let us give the slip to the on/off switch in print form!

Didst thou they think thirsty & thin thieve & thump in thy youth? Then it turns out there's no money in puzzling the proselytized! You have been given an entirely new year for manhandling, fondling & freakiness, faithful flukes - scratch out in greatest detail what graffiti has been painted in the brains behind your eyes! O indignity shake my left hand heartily! O grateful animals we!

That was strange.  & not really funny.  But wow.  I have no memory of writing that.  Anyhoo.

At some point I wrote a blog post about a historical figure who couldn't possibly have had photographs taken of her, since she lived during the Enlightenment, so I titled a post "The Last Nude Photographs Of" her.  It turned out that for some reason a porn star adopted her name, & suddenly people were finding my blog because it had "nude" & the porn star's name in its title.

It was a brief moment of popularity.  Of course, no one read the blog, they were looking for pictures of someone who made a living naked, naked, & there weren't any.  But wow did I get lots of hits!

& so let's try it again.  Will people looking for Trekker commentary about "The Trouble With Tribbles" find this blog?  Who knows!  It's Friday night!  I'm a little drunk!  Oh the thinks I think I can think about some of the time!
