Throwing Down the Blogging Gauntlet – A Challenge by Jon

Ian and I suck at blogging. It’s a harsh reality that we’ve had to come to terms with, but there are several inescapable facts here: The Irish Bull is like a coma patient that wakes up at random intervals, asks if there are hovercars and roboprostitutes yet, then falls back asleep in shame and disappointment. It’s heartbreaking for the family, and you just wish that your comatose blog would come back for good one day, or at the very least, that you could silently put one in the back of its brain and cover your violent act of blogthanasia up to look like a mob hit.

… alright, that analogy spun out of control on me, but the point is, I’m rusty.

It’s time to put the ‘Bull back on a regular schedule. To that end, I am mailing Ian a gentleman’s evening glove from Toronto to Calgary. I expect that upon receipt he will promptly smack himself in the face with it on my behalf to signify the following challenge:

1) The Irish Bull will now go to regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday updates.

2) Posts will be a minimum of 200 words.

3) Posts will be posted by 00:01 of the date in question in order to count.

4) Jon and Ian will alternate posts, with this post serving as the post for Wednesday, August 6^th, 2008. The next post to be posted will be on Friday, August 8^th, 2008.

The stakes in this wager will be finalized by Friday’s post.

What about you, Ian? Are you NERD enough? Or are you scared? Or are you BOTH? Or are you HUNGRY? Because I could make you a SANDWICH.

... nerd.
