the original mad city


Some of you people may have noticed that the URL for my blog is the ponderous www.blogmadcity.blogspot.com. And you've probably wondered, "What's this shizzle? Why didn't he just go with www.madcity.blogspot.com?" Well, the answer is that that address was already taken, by one Jerry Litzau Jr. And if you're expecting me to launch a Mad City-style tirade on his ass, think again. I don't know Jerry personally, but I've checked out his site and his profile. He seems like a good guy, plus he's visually-impaired. I have the utmost respect for the visually-impaired. Plus, Jerry seems like a gentle soul, so the "Mad City" address for his blog is almost whimsical. True, he doesn't publish much, but I suspect he doesn't have a lot of --
Come to think of it, what the hell Jerry? You grab the greatest blog address of all time, and then you don't even publish much??? Is this a joke? Are you deliberately trying to make my life difficult? What have I done to deserve this? Why, I oughtta ... um ...
Salute you, I guess. Because we're basically doing the same deal, the best way we know how. And trying to keep it real in the process. So don't mind me, Jerry: it's all good, bro. Keep on rockin' in the MJC ...

I checked out Jerry's blog. It looks like he's had his blog since 2004 and has yet to write a single post. It's completely blank. You, on the other hand, have written 11 posts in a little over two weeks. So it doesn't seem fair that he gets to have the cooler blog address. Here's what you should do: invite Jerry to a nice restaurant in Madison. You could talk about blogging over some steaks and red wine. Then casually slip him a couple of 100 dollar bills under the table. Pretty soon you'll have his blog address, and everyone will be happy.

Heavens! I hope he's all right. They say Jimmy Hoffa had a popular URL which he under-utilized.
And FYI, B-Phat, I think you meant to say "11 quality posts." It's not like I'm just cranking them out ...
