First let me say that I absolutely hate the torrent of crappy new words people create for blogging terminology. Actually in any medium/channel/industry right now there’s a whole gaggle of pretentious twitbags spouting off new terms every couple of days as if they’re laying golden eggs.
But I’m allowed to come up with stuff because I’m funny.
I’ve got a new term for when people run out of interesting things to say and resort to posting graphic sexual content in order to bring visitors to their site.
are you ready?
HUMPING THE SHARK.
Thank you, thank you.
gawd I hate myself.
UPDATE: A quick google search alterted me that I had not in fact coined that term first. Quite a few quicker witted folks beat me to it. Oh well.

Shane added these pithy words on Jul 14 05 at 2:53 pmI know what a shark is. And while growing up I think I learned the basics of humping from a middle-aged man that was my hockey coach and a friend of the family; but I’m struggling a little bit trying to fit the two ideas together in my mind. Legos are easier. I’m gonna go play with Legos.

What do you call those of us that have posted graphic sexual content from the start?
On second thoughts, don’t answer that…-Another Ed

Milking The Shark added these pithy words on Jul 24 05 at 9:58 pmHow come all you people’s comments suck? (except Shane) We’re talking about Humping The Shark here, step it up, this is no joke. I was Humping the Shark as soon as Al Gore invented the internet. You people make me sick with your weak comments. I’ve got term #8965 for people who leave gay commnets on Ed’s page: Uncle Jaspers. It’s a racist derogatory term, and you can all eat it.
