"Politics, maaan. If you're hanging on to a rising balloon, you're presented with a difficult decision. Let go before it's too late? Or hang on and keep getting higher? Posing the question, how long can you keep a grip on the rope?"
Noted 20th century theorist, and drug felon, Danny from Withnail, has been keeping an eye on blog fights downunder.
Camberwell Carrots all around then?

And your linkage to this erstwhile bogan?

It's a test, Ceeby. You've got to read around the blogs to find the answer. But you don't need me to tell you what it is, when you find it, you'll know.

Ummmm, errr, any hints? Very deep thought. Anyway, I'm a lover not a fighter.

No hints. But if you're stuck, or lost, or can't really be bothered looking, you can pretty much pretend it's any blog, if you like.

Nope, too cryptic for this simple girl or are you making a general statement about blog fights and their value?

I've got the odd post in mind, but you'll have to look for something that approximates Danny's quote. I don't want to give it away because I want to see what conclusions people might draw.
That's "might draw", by the way. Things are quiet this weekend, so my little experiment looks as if it'll sink like a stone. The Manhattan Project, it ain't. It's not even Project Arse Machine.

Is it a fight?
He won't keep rising.
It's a one-off.
2. over at Cavalry Ladies, I reckon that jail band photo is Otis Spann not BB King.
Otis mostly wore a mustache and beatnik ziff and that white guy in the pic has played with OS a fair bit.
I saw BBKing play The Troubador LA in the seventies - it was scary cool.

Your timing could be a little to the left. No names, no pack drill. Unless of course I'm being particularly obscure and obtuse. Which is distinctly possible.

'The worst part about it? The more you let yourself get involved, the less energy and motivation you have for actual positive blog posts. Giving into your anger/letting the hate flow through you - these things lead only to the Dark Side really tedious comment threads.'
Pretentious git.
