What Do You Want...Egg In Your Beer?



As we slowly ease into the autumnal season, I wonder why my fan base is slowly easing away from my iconic blog.



Who said, "I didn't know you had a fan base!"



Well, I NEVER!



Who said, "Maybe if you did, you'd feel better!"



Anyway, I'm thinking (and that's dangerous), why would you read a blog about thangs that don't interest you! Right?!



For instance, I like spaze movies, UFO sightings, Syfy stuff...but a lot of you, apparently, hate that childish crap. So, even though I'll never stop writing about those thangs, because THEY have control of my minimal brain, I need to find out what youse guys want to peruse daily. 

pe·ruse
/pəˈro͞oz/
verb
FORMAL
  1. read (something), typically in a thorough or careful way.
    "he has spent countless hours in libraries perusing art history books and catalogues"
    • examine carefully or at length.
      "Laura perused a Caravaggio"


    • Caravaggio The Italian Painter

    Dogs and cats? I can write about dogs and cats! I can even write about gerbils, puppy faced seals, pachyderms, marsupials...any animule you want, if I'm allowed to Google the information.


I really, REALLY try to avoid writing about politics, but if that's what you want, I will do it.. sarcastically, with a heaping measure of disbelief in what the heck is goin' on in D.C., Springfield and other seats of government.



Do you want me to write about the crime and violence that has become rampant across the fruited plains of what we like to call America? Although I personally don't witness much crime and violence, I could steal a few lines from Game Of Thrones, and you would not know the difference. 

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.”
—The honorable Ned Stark explaining to Bran why he had to kill a Night’s Watch deserter

Maybe I need to concentrate on a good "hook!" No, not a fishing hook, but it works exactly the same.



The "hook" catches folks who would not necessarily read something, but are attracted by the title of the piece. 

For instance...Blood On Pekin Streets! A story about a meat truck driving down Court St. with a leak from the meat compartment.

500 Dead In Horrible Collisions! A story about a traveling salesperson scraping dead bugs off his/her windshield. (Notice how gender unspecific I am)



Anyway, you get the point. 



Tell me what interests you the most, and I'll probably just ignore you. On the other hand, I may take your suggestions to heart, and write the Noble Peace Prize of blogs!! Or is that the Pulitzer Prize? Whatevs!





  1. For you who refuse to take part in the fun of commenting, that's okay...but as my mom used to say..."what do you want, egg in your beer?!"
