To the Alphabet Elitists
Now I'll be the first to allow I probably should have thought through the idea of having a blog that begins with a "V". But I didn't realize how damned structured some people are. Alphabetizing their blogrolls. THAT'S why A Small Victory is so popular. It ain't fucking content.
By the time the average blog reader gets to the voluminous "S" blogs they are burnt out, pissing themselves in narcoleptic narcosis. That's where I get fucked over.
Just as the savvy criminal attorney will list his law firm in the yellow pages under A-Able Attorney, so the next year he will be supplanted as first in the jailhouse yellow pages by AAA-Able Attorney.
So, since you are all so tied to the concept of the alphabetized blogroll (and, hey, I do it to. Poor Rube at You Bitch is constantly shafted when the narcosis grips me) please consider me, and henceforth blogroll me as, AAA-Able Velociworld. It will make your lives much easier. Trust me.
Wrong.
SOME people, and I would be one, go from the top one day, the bottom the next, meaning the MIDDLES get ignored. "K" for example...
Posted by: Key at February 7, 2005 10:45 PMI speak in sweeping generalities, of course. Like I always do. But I'll confess I start at the "K"s and work outward. Love that KateSpot.

Posted by: Mr. Brown at February 7, 2005 10:57 PMHeh..."Better Living Through Blogging" -- top-drawer, baby! BLTB!
Oh, and don't worry too much, V-Man -- some of us have our blogrolls organized by "recently updated," so I'm always in the know when you spew forth your latest witticisms and...other stuff.
Posted by: david at February 7, 2005 11:09 PMI ain't sure what all they said, but pushed some button and you wound up on top. Musta been the "VelociTop" button. Shit, there you go. Now I guess I can't be "alphabetically" correct anymore. But I can be "Velocitically" correct. If it wasn't for S, T, and U's you'd be as "ranked" as me, with my R... lemme see you and MT sort it so "R's" are at the top.
Well, maybe it only shows that way in my "edit" mode, but I'll figure it out... I will. Some way to get V to show before B...
Posted by: RedNeck at February 8, 2005 12:48 AMMy blogroll is organized just like my house. It's a fucking mess.

Boy, do I feel like an idiot now. All this time thinking people liked my content when they were just clicking my blog because it starts with an A. Thanks for enlightening me.
Posted by: michele at February 8, 2005 11:21 AMTechnically, "A Small Victory" should be listed under "S".
A, An & The get ignored when one is cataloging properly.

Fine! If it makes you feel any better, I've just changed mine to Zee Zoiling Zoint. Hey, that kinda has an alliterative ring to it. Thanks for the inspiration, AAvelociman.

Posted by: Michele at February 8, 2005 2:25 PMMy listing is alphabetical, in accordance with improper cataloging, but, because I choose to get creative, and maybe lead people somewhere they hadn't thought to go, you are listed amongst the voluminous "S" blogs.
