Michibloggers!

Mike Wendland’s Free Press piece on “Michibloggers” isn’t too down with the Arborblogs scene. Ypsidixit is there representing the Ypsi side of things, but an errant “www” in front of her URL sends Freep readers straight to the Diaryland error page. Uncle Grambo from whatevs.org seems a little miffed that he didn’t make the cut: “Stop doling out handjobs to douchebags from Franz Ferdistan who suck up to you with praise-filled emails and start giving kudos to those who deserve it. Namely me, you effin’ tourist!” Uh, yeah, it’s totally durst. Or maybe we mean bovs. Or possibly robvs.

  1. AAIO is kind to post on this news tidbit and I’m grateful and flattered. Thank you. Ypsidixit is a smalltime blog with a small (yet cherished) blogfamily and is levels away from what I regard as big-league blogging such as this site, which is by far my favorite AA blog and always a pleasure to read every day. At any rate, thank you for reading the Freep story.

  2. Memo to Uncle Grambo: eat my dust, you wizened twerp.

  3. Uncle Grambo does have a certain genius for language. I’ll give him that. I started reading his blog because I thought it was so bad it was good, but I have to admit he knows how to coin brilliantly stupid slang that just sticks in your brain.

    I never realized there was so much “flirting” going on at Ypsidixit.

  5. What does “wizened” mean? It’s not in my dictionary, obvs. Oh, and btdubs, there’s only two good reasons to ever venture into Ypsi. One is The Vu and the other is to mow some spicy garlic wings at BW3. Shmears.

    And thanks for the (semi) positive props, A2. Bovs on your respective tees and keep up the great work.

  6. Whoa, Grambo in the house! Bovs on tees - I think that’s good, especially if they’re respective.

    When I started thinking “rizz” instead of right, that’s when I knew that you had some truly dangerous slang-creation going on. Rewrites your brain if you’re not careful.

  7. somewhere on that site there should be a whatevs-english, english-whatevs translator. i’ve been reading for a while now and i still get easily confused, snatchurally.

  8. hey, rob - here you go. although it neglects recent coinages such as “jawn” (seems to refer to any book, film or album) and “abortion” (anything bad.)

  9. tigs. bravo AAIO. once again, you come to the aid of the less grammatically inclined and make words happen when flailing gestures fail.

    god bless AAIO. god bless whatevs. and god bless us…every one…

  10. I just received an e-mail that cleared up something else I’d been wondering about:

    At some point Peabs coined the phrase, “bovs all over your effin tees,” which on the surface seems like an imperative to ejaculate on another person’s mammary glands. However, it really has no meaning at all, and is used so frequently that it’s really just a positive salutation.
