I just got back from yet another press conference.... so annoying dealing with the media

here's the latest Press release my publicist has sent out:For Immediate release

Rupert West Quebec: Megastir announced today the creation of a long awaited weblog. "I have decided to create a weblog or "Blog" as they have come to be known amongst users of a mysterious international network of linked computers." The assembled press was abuzz with the news and several scribes immediately began tapping furiously on their respective cell-phones and palm pilots. Despite the noise, the sometimes humorous web-master and full time Brad Pitt look a-like continued: "I have decided to create a site with a light background and darker easily readable text."

When pressed for more details, Megastir who is rumored to be a dangerous junkie snapped. "I have a high grade addiction to a rare form of synthetic heroin known as Fentynal. When I started as a webmaster I created a website that sold things I picked up off the ground. It was a license to print money. I indulged in every possible excess. Now is the time to clean up my act. I will write this weblog on a diet that will consist exclusively of a goulash made of rocks and pebbles."

At this pint a publicist stepped in to the fray and explained that the Megastir has relocated to the most remote frozen northeastern corner of the continent. "His neighbors speak only a raw guttural language of grunts and strange clicking noises. He has begun his blog as a way of keeping his language and what's left of his sanity alive."

"We have released this news to the press and a select few of the so called Bloggers in an effort to stop any one from linking to this new Megablog". "Because of my remote location I am hosting my page on a rudimentary server built out of old oil drums, a used Thompson Twins cassette tape, a transistor radio and elastic bands. Any traffic whatsoever will surely bring it down". "Please do not link to this site!" "To this end the Megablog's main page will be located at a highly confusing URL and will contain a dangerous overuse of superlatives and dangling participles." The press seemed confused. "As the site becomes more refined it will be hosted at a more traffic friendly location. We will contact you all then"

As the press rushed to file their stories Megastir and his entourage could be scene breaking for the exit where a light blue slammed Galaxy 500 exploded lo life in a fury of airshocks, stereophonic noise and leaded gasoline exhaust. And then they were gone.
