Apologia

Tuesday, November 10. 2009

I pulled down yesterday’s blog posting because it sucked. If you had the misfortune of being exposed to it, I apologize. It was hardly the stuff of thought-leadership.

I recall seeing a documentary some years back showing a fine looking kangaroo rise up and challenge the older, recognized alpha male of the herd, or pride, or pack, or whatever a bunch of kangaroos that hang out together call themselves. It’s a forgone conclusion that if the young upstart is victorious in his challenge, the deposed leader is shunned by the rest of the troop and dies shortly thereafter—useless, broken, and resented for having had intercourse, repeatedly, with all the other kangaroos’ hot wives and daughters.

I don’t know where I’m going with this. I do know that yesterday’s posting was awful though.

I like the kangaroo story. It has both violence and sex in it. Now that I think about it, I’m not even sure I saw that in a documentary. I may have just been daydreaming about being a powerful kangaroo at some point.

For what it’s worth, I went to the Mediterranean place today for lunch and got some of that sampler.

I believe many of us are a little upset about your diet, per the insight you shared on October 23. It was a real blow to our confidence that you would appear to trifle with lunch in this way. Maybe we're wrong, but when our thought leader in the lunch blogging arena went on a diet... well, the mind boggled a bit.

I sure hope we can get back to where we used to be.

Also, I'm told that a pack of kangaroos is called a joey.

Are you trying to say that your thought-leadership in the lunch blogosphere is going the way of the "deposed, useless, broken and now-celebate" elder kangaroo? This is a troubling development indeed.

And it is not for me to educate the next generation - in this analogy, the fine looking kangaroo - of lunch free thinkers but a group of kangaroos is called a troop, mob or herd whereas their young are called joeys.

Fight the good fight RickSter!

WTF kind of blog is this? Namby pamby to be sure. There was nothing wrong with the previous entry. Who knew you could get a pastrami sandwich at a golf course? I'm thinking we have to find one of those boxing kangaroos to whomp you up side the head.

Whomp? Did you just say whomp?

Yes, Whomp! I always liked those videos of the kangaroos with boxing gloves dancing around the ring. Quick with the jab, those roos! Whomp just seemed to fit with "up side the head."

After reading this with my daddy, I'm thinking about heading back into the womb for a few more months. Hopefully by then, thought leadership in lunch blogging may evolve to something worth reading.

You're a chip right off the old block, F. Banger Jr. What did you have for lunch today? Wait...let me guess...was it milk? What the hell do you know about lunch anyway. Congratulations. You're already on my list.

FB Jr! Not wasting any time! I like your style.
