FmH: ‘a classic blog with some humorous stuff’??

This weblogger known as Reinman, who has been writing a weblog for only 17 posts and one month, posted a review of FmH because, apparently finding my site at random, he was pleasantly surprised by the soft drink post below. This 20-year old Minnesota student and football fan whose tastes run to Fiddler on the Roof, Lawrence of Arabia, The Catcher in the Rye and The King James Bible, is kind enough to say that my anti-Bush sentiment (from his vast experience perusing the weblog universe, he puzzles about whether all bloggers are of that persuasion) doesn’t get in the way of his enjoyment of ‘some of the stuff on the site’.

He seems to be looking for ‘humorous references to pop. culture’ which (sound of headscratching) he seems to find best characterize the material at FmH. Funny, I didn’t think I was being all that funny all that often. However, he concludes in the last analysis that there isn’t much reason, other than the soft drink map, to come here, because “if… you’re craving… a classic blog with some humorous stuff”, he thinks he does it better. More power to him.

Tragically, he announces that his series on “blogging the bloggers” is to end with FmH, the fifth he reviews. He makes the curious comment that he is “not planning any prequels”, which allows him to come out with a witticism about how

“if I did make a prequel, I would have to call it something ludicrous, like “Blogging the Bloggers Part ¹/2” and that sounds eerily close to “The Lion King 1¹/2″ which I have not seen, but I can only imagine *shudder*”.

I think I get it. Come to think of it, this post may qualify as a ‘humorous reference to pop. culture’. I wouldn’t know how else to categorize it, so maybe Reinman is onto something.
