I pity the bling…
Monday, January 23rd, 2006I’m sorry. I tried. On Saturday I managed to get Dave to promise to not use the word “bling” in his next five blog entries. I was doing it for you, dear reader. If you search for “bling” in Dave’s blog, you’ll return 20 entries with the word in it in the last 151 days. He made 76 posts in that same period, choosing to place the word in 26.32% of those posts. Over a quarter of his posts! But wait! Even these damning statistics do nothing to suggest how voracious his word choice is. Take this snippet for example:
Sixteen words. Four of them “bling”. Again, one quarter. What does this mean? I am sure that you, dear reader, have already come to the logical conclusion. But in case you need further proof, I offer you photographic evidence! On the urgings of Tim, I give you the photo I took shortly after buying Dave his beer. The beer that I promised him in exchange for him giving up his precious “bling”. I’m sorry, I tried. I think he is… beyond hope.
