Yes, if you haven't noticed already, blogs have gone "mainstream". Yet another reason not to read them.

Did you mean the Bobs by any chance? I wish I could think you meant the old Florida punk band, but they're so forgotten I can't even find a site to link to; nobody remembers the classic "I'm Too Far Away From My Beer" except me and Phil, and he doesn't even know it's a Bobs song. Sic transit...

What's that you say? Blogs? Who cares about blogs?
