So Here's the Deal

I have a confession to make. I don't actually write this blog. I mean, I type it, but I don't really write it. I just write what the Voice tells me to write. Shhhhh! Do you hear that? That fizzing sound. If you listen closely, you can hear the Voice. That, my friends, is the voice of wisdom, wit and erudition. It is, in fact, the voice of Dr. Pepper.
Yes, this blog is dictated to me by the effervescent utterances of the Scholar of Soda, the Professor of Pop, the TA of Tonic, Dr. Pepper, PhD. I owe my entire readership to the Doctor, and some time maybe you can all come over and split a six pack with me.
Unfortunately, the Doctor and I are having a disagreement of late. The Doctor's specialties, you may know, are tooth decay, obesity and type 2 diabetes. I've decided to pursue another line of study. I hope to answer the age-old question "Can man get to the age of 40 without buying any pants with an elastic waistband?"
All of this to say that I need to cut down on inspiration a bit. Which means that I need to cut down on posting. There's no way around it; No Pepper, no post. And you do NOT want to see the kind of whacked out sh*t I post on Diet Dr. Pepper. So don't even bother to suggest that crap.
So here's what I'm going to do: I will post an entry on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Saturdays, I will post the Saturday Dispatch -- A very brief post of the type that I used to post to the now defunct Mattress Police Dispatches blog. I will, of course, continue to update Central Booking as I work my way through the reading list, and I will continue to update Deep Cover every second Tuesday of any month that has an 'e' in it. Got it? Cool.
In other news, I finally wrote up my thoughts regarding The Kite Runner, an excellent novel suggested by Ann from At Home with Ann. Check it out, as well as my assessments of Fast Food Nation, Eragon, and more at Central Booking. As you can see, I'm currently reading Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstader suggested by Wolfe from Wolfe's Musings.
I'd also like to say thanks to everybody who has joined the humor-blogs dot com juggernaut. I'm extremely excited about the momentum that this little project is generating, and I've got a lot of cool stuff planned for the future. New participants include SinisterDan from The Reasonable Ego (who seems to share my philosophical bent, although he's bent in a slightly different direction), A Tyke's Progress and A Goddess In The Land Of Pink.
If you have a funny blog that you'd like listed, please let me know by posting a comment here or sending me an email. I've had to turn down a few blogs (even some that I really like and that contain a lot of humor) simply because they don't strictly qualify as "humor blogs." I don't really care if your thing is toilet humor or acerbic political satire, but your blog needs to be primarily devoted to (at least trying to) make people laugh in order to qualify. Them's the rules.
See you Monday with a brand spanking new post on the genius of James Blunt.
