The word from the street

Hi all,
My friend, Kevin Healey, at recoverynetworktoronto.wordpress.com just randomly stumbled on this spendid and gentle parody of our blog. These students (at Regent’s College in London, UK) are a dangerously clever bunch.
I wonder whether this might the first time that any blog has been riffed, ripped and remixed into video. (Does anyone know more?)

“Are you updating the blog? Somebody said you weren’t.”
PHILIP
“Well, I wasn’t but I just did finally yesterday.”
TONY
“Well that’s good because I didn’t want anyone worrying about anything.”
PHILIP
“You know, this is our fourth birthday.”
TONY
“You mean the blog?”
PHILIP
“Yup. We’ve made nearly five hundred posts and we’re closing in on 250,000 visitors. Pretty good, eh.”
TONY
“You know, I didn’t expect it to last this long. But I’m glad people like it, that’s for sure. Now all I gotta do is get myself somewhere to live and we can do some other blog. When that’s going to happen, I’ve got no idea.”
PHILIP
“So you want to keep going?”
TONY
“Sure, why not.”
PHILIP
“Me too.”
TONY
“So how are we doing on the visits to the blog?”
PHILIP
“Well, we’ve had almost 228,000 visitors since we started up the blog. Not bad, eh?”
TONY
“You’re not kidding. I figure I could probably take the rest of the year off if I got one-cent for every time someone visited the blog.”
TONY
“Did you hear about the fire last night?”
PHILIP
“No. Where was this?”
TONY
“Just up the street there on Howard Park, just this side of Roncesvalles. The big one, the new one. You know the building.”
Later the same day …
PHILIP
“That fire you told me about, the one that’s supposed to have happened yesterday, the one you told me about.”
TONY
“Yeah the one we were going to write up on the blog.”
PHILIP
“I googled for a news story about that fire but I couldn’t find anything anywhere.”
TONY
“Sometimes I think that it should say in the Bible that not everything is on the Internet, if you know what I mean.”
