In one small sidebar...

"I am a twentysomething Alaskan living in Fairbanks. We call the little icicles that stick to my poodle Bobby's fur when he plays outside Pupsickles, hence the name of the blog."

Sheer genius. I read this in a sidebar at Pupsickle. Don't ask what I was doing there - I surfed in entirely by accident. This blog is bad. But then I got thinking, maybe writing a blog with a sidebar this awful is actually a tool to make people stay a little longer.

I'm actually incredulous at just how anyone could:

1. Own a poodle called Bobby


2. Admit to owning a poodle called Bobby


3. Name the icicles that stick to his fur


4. Admit to naming the icicles that stick to his fur


5. Name a blog after the name that you give the icicles that stick to your poodle's fur, and finally


6. Admit that you named your blog after the name that you give the icicles that stick to your poodle's fur.

And it kept me there, wondering if things could possibly get any worse.

Right on cue:

"My dogs have a blog"

Really? Well, I'm guessing they write more of it than the similar canine literary geniuses such as Ashley Simpson and Pamela Anderson wrote of their recent offerings, but even so?
Don't the icicles - SORRY - "Pupsickles" - melt on the keyboard?

The chick that writes this blog looks quite sweet, though her other half looks a bit scary. In fact, he looks like a bit of a genetic throwback. Even with a peanut head. (The fact that they live in Alaska, while Trollmeister HQ is hidden deep in a mountain in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh means that I can say this in pretty much complete safety.)

Sadly though, her cute appearance doesn't make up for the dreadful blog.

You will have noticed that I haven't tackled the peach font yet. That's because every time I think about it, I vomit all over my... oh crap - there I go again....
