Emptybottle.org: Public Service Announcement

And now, as a special public service announcement, here's some stupid sh-t that was running through my brain this afternoon as I made some chicken cacciatore :

Since it seems we've been saddled with the monicker 'warbloggers' for the forseeable future, I thought we should open up some more niches for folks, you know, so they don't feel left out. You can have hours of fun, if you're so inclined, assigning your friends and neighbours to the right Tribe, a la the Harry Potter thing. If I had the energy, I'd make one of those stupid f--king quizzes. But I don't. So... onward!

I propose the foundation of the following new BlogTribes :

whorebloggers : only in it for the money, heart of gold or not.

were-bloggers : tried it once, didn't see the attraction, went back to reading Fark

werebloggers : only blog by the light of the moon, have trouble with getting their claws caught between the keys

wearbloggers : fashion victims

wiredbloggers : learned all their html from Webmonkey

whybloggers : what's it all about, Alfie?

whoahbloggers : Dude, Keanu says : 'Whoah.'

warebloggers : just like playing with the tools

wherebloggers : huh? wha? who did what where now?

wartbloggers : ugly as sin In Real Life, beautiful flowers online

and my favorite new Wonderchicken Approved™ Blogtribe

wheebloggers : fast, loose, enthusiastically voluble, and probably drunk

Any additions?

Whigbloggers? Whimbloggers? Weirdbloggers? (If they can be told from any other type. Or perhaps they are merely fateful bloggers.) Wordbloggers? Wormbloggers?

I sense that I'm starting to reach here...

I know it's a variation on my previous suggestion, but: wankbloggers. Masturbatory, I love myself, this is what I did in the bathroom with a tube of hand cream today, bloggers.

Well, I admit it's a bit creepy, but what's a wee touch of cannibalism between friends, right?

Well, now that I can SEE the entry, I like it even better. I like the distinction between were-bloggers and werebloggers. Nice linguistic touch. And I did learn everything from webmonkey, up until I learned to look at people's source code. Watch out.
