A Hiatus
Ogged is going on hiatus. One wonders if a blog to which neither of the tititular bloggers are contributing can long endure. As I mention in comments, though, this provides a wonderful opportunity to extend the hegemony of The Weblog. If I poach only one of the three bloggers other than Unf or Ogged, I'm sure a huge chunk of the audience would follow. Add to that my secret-up-until-just-this-second-when-I-thought-it-up plan to get Bitch PhD to join us here, and before long, The Weblog will be bigger than Atrios and Instapundit combined! Imagine the ad revenue -- going straight into my pocket!As I said in comments to Ogged's post: BWAHAHAHAHA!
ALSO: In comments to this post, Matt Weiner reveals the origin of the phrase "the shit hit the fan":
I believe the phrase really does originate with a joke about someone who goes upstairs in a bar looking for the toilet, can't find it, takes a crap in a hole in the floor, goes back down, finds the bar empty, asks what happened to everyone, and receives the response "Where were you when the shit hit the fan?"
I always interpreted it as a ceiling fan that sends shit in all directions.
