Your favorite blogs. Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

One of the fellows over at CounterGlow posted a link to "The Tard Blog" and it contains some truly humorous scenes. Sure, I shouldn't laugh at retarded people but this Special Ed teacher just does a great job of explaining the things she goes through at work.

So what are some of your favorite blogs and why? I'm hoping we can all share a few of these gems for our own collective amusement.

The porn clerk blog that people kept linking here is also a good one. I know you people out there read blogs so come one and share a few of the better ones.

The only real blog I keep up with is www.zeldman.com, which is a industry leader's blog. Jeffrey Zeldman has had a lot of influence on my art and design, but I doubt he's all that interesting to others.

Suffering from ads?

It's like an online journal or diary. They're pretty popular these days.

Some people just use them to whinge about their personal problems and bad-mouth their friends through poorly disguised nicknames, naively trusting in their perception of internet anonymity.

Other people write about porn and retards and stuff.

So it's gone from keeping a journal/diary under lock and key, to publishing it on the internet ?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I will admit I still don't exactly see how blogs are "cool". I remember them surfacing some time ago, and gaining popularity at GREAT speeds, but they mostly suck. What do I care for some guy's problems, I mean? Although sometimes they can include great thoughts or something like that, that's the type of content I usually get to by finding a link elsewhere.

What ever happened to Pekka any way? Last I heard he was dirt poor and trying to find a place to live near his new university.

Many of the more interesting blogs are indeed fake. Wannabe authors and such are known to create blogs to tell stories.

You're a good writer so I'm sure you could come up with an entertaining blog. The problem is getting the right setting for your blog because most of the "Dear Diary" blogs end up being boring while the blogs about porn clerks or teachers of retard kids end up being halarious even when poorly written.

Instead of a blog you could create a website and put all your texts in their. With nice pictures etc. I'm sure plenty of people would help for the website if you ask.

I used to subscribe to A List Apart, Zeldman's info site for Web designers (back when I was managing my company's web presence). He's insightful, pertinent, and a good writer.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The one really said thing I noticed reading the tard blog is that all of the parents of these tards seem to be royal screwed up themselves. I mean an absurdly large proportion seem to be drug users, alcoholics, completely uneducated, or some combination of the three. The impression I'm getting is that many of the children in Special Ed classes are either crack babies or have fetal alcohol syndrome.

Not all of them are funny but the bold typed ones are great as are several of the reader submissions. Here's one of my favorite reader submissions:
quote:

I'm sitting in my final period class--study hall 'cause I'm a lazy SOB-- listening to the tard in my class babble on about nothing in particular and occasionally laugh that goofy tard laugh.

You have to understand: this is in rural Pennsylvania, a few miles outside of Gettysburg, so not only is the kid retarded, but he's a redneck military lunatic. He has this camoflauge backpack that he carries with him and talks to all the time (its name, apparently, is "Commander"-- I can't make this **** up).

Anyway, he had just come from P.E. class, and he smelled worse than usual. I mean, he usually smelled like a tard that never bathed and had just taken P.E., but-- ****, today it was really bad. One of the *******s in the class (a senior) looks at him and asks why he smells so bad.

"Not me," he says.

"Not you? Then what smells so bad?"

"Lieutenant."

"Lieutenant?"

"Yup."

At this, the tard proceeds to reach into his backpack and pull out a skinned squirrel. I'm not shitting you. The thing smells like it's been in his backpack for a couple of days at this point. So he pulls this thing out of his tardpack and then--AND THEN--he starts to ****ing GNAW on the squirrel's head.

Christ, it was disgusting. By this point, girls have run screaming from the room, and at least one of the guys has puked. The "study hall supervisor" (also our P.E. instructor) comes back from the bathroom amid all the racket. He comes in and sees the tard chewing on something and decides to confront the tard about it (against the rules to have food, you know).

"Hey, whatcha got the--OH, ****." He immediately goes into deal-with-the-****ing-tard mode and soothingly coaxes the tard into removing the squirrel from his mouth.

The tard complies, then looks right in the supervisor's eyes and says, deadpan, "Commander doesn't like Lieutenant." I don't know what happened to him after that; he was transferred out of study hall and kept in the all-tard classes from then on.
