ANOTHER DEFECTOR

As if you needed more evidence that having OTB in your life is a good thing, here’s yet another case study for you:

A mere two days ago, PoliBlog mentioned Kristopher Vilamaa’s new blog, which I then mentioned. So grateful was the young lad for this mention that he blogrolled me forthwith, which I noted the next day. In the very next post, I noted that Kathy Kinsley was opening the Blog House, a cheap way to get off BlogSpot. Within minutes, Kristopher noted this post and started investigating. Being a proud member of the Axis of Weevil with sharp reasoning skills, it didn’t take him long to make up his mind. He contacted Kathy and now, behold, as of a few minutes ago, he has left the accursed AOL of Blogging and has his own subdomain at Blog House, right here: The World Around You. And they all lived happily ever after.

Now, if we could just scrounge up four bucks for the Possum.

  1. James, good idea, but you know how SOME people are–that Possum guy would probably take the money and go blow it on hookers and weed.

    It actually was more than the four bucks, because I had to buy the domain name too, but I’m not sure what you could get from a hooker for 10 bucks.

    so grateful was the young lad.
