Local Blogger Threatens Another Local Blogger

An Open Letter to Fire Ant Gazette from Jessica's Well:

Dear Sir: I read with great interest your post concerning Your Lovely Bride's squirrel smuggling operation.

CONTENT WARNING: If you are not an actual blogger you can stop reading at this point because the rest of this post will seem mind-numbingly stupid and inane to you.

I was also very interested in the way your entry appeared in the blog feeds at MyWestTexas.com. Specifically, the text under the title.

I am guessing that in your RSS Template you re-mapped another field (Excerpts, perhaps?) to the Descripton tags thereby giving your the ability to customize the how the sub-head appears over at MWTDC. I will figure it out eventually.

Or you can tell me.

Because if you don't tell me I will bag up all of my yard squirrels (17 at last count) and release them into your new yard in the dark of night*. And these are not your run-of-the-mill squirrels, either. These are supreme dog-taunting squirrels. The cream of the Dog Taunting Squirrel Magnet School.

You think about that.


(* Dark of night is used as a figure of speech here. After reading this post from 2006 I will more probably just toss them over the fence in broad daylight since sneaking around at night would be an altogether bad idea.)

Well, it looks like either he isn't going to tell you, or he can't get past the CAPTCHA.

Do you need to borrow some burlap bags?

My dog is blind and therefore immune to your wimpy squirrel threat. And, yes, Walsingham, she also couldn't get past the captcha. Thanks for pointing that out.

Does your version of MT not allow you to provide an excerpt with each post?

Oh, btw, if you decide to start providing excerpts with your posts, be prepared for the whiners who got used to getting a full post via their RSS feeds.
'Cause as far as I can determine, the excerpt is all they'll see.

I'd worry about it more but my goal has always been to reduce my readership to zero, thereby giving me an excuse to quit this blogging thing. My mother has thwarted my plans up to this point.

That is what I was afraid of....because I am one of those whiners that hates it when I don't receive the entire post through the RSS feed.

I don't know if it is because the conditions were met or because the bluff was called but my squirrels will remain where they are. Taunting my dogs, supremely.
