The post still makes no sense. Although I do understand it.

BTW are you at an internet cafe or something?

It's not supposed to - Corey was playing with words. Hence the "*groan*" on the other line. Other such variances are "coat! Now!" and "I'll show myself out".

More like a quote I heard ages ago, the subject of which I can't even remember. An old poet was sent a letter asking "How old <poet's name>?" His reply; "Old <poet's name> well. How you?" Tickled me.

Who came up with that line? Surely not Dickinson, I'm guessing Corrin.

How much linkage and how much of your own material do you lads plan on doing during the blog? I don't mind the linkage at all, saves me time looking for good articles.

Sadly, it's all mine. If it helps, I imagined myself as Corrin, like I always do when trying to write something funny.

No firm guidelines, from what I've read in Staff. Depends on the mood of whoever writes it. Anything could happen! I love the idea, myself. Will's already justified his salary for mine.

I like linking, though. Cricinfo's 'The Surfer' is fantastic.

Just posted a detailed breakdown comparison of the sides.

I promise I'll do something more fun next time.
