what's this talk about a "blog"?

We'll be back to regular blogging on Monday. Don't anybody inaugurate any new presidents or ethnically cleanse any Mideast ghettos while we're gone!

UPDATE! Monday has been rescheduled for Wednesday on account of bird flu.

UPDATE UPDATE! Wednesday has been rescheduled for Thursday because of its more amenable patron deity.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! Thursday has been postponed til Friday 'cause you know what? We don't like your attitude, young man.

UPDATE! Okay, so it didn't happen today either. But that just shows the kind of strong commitment to principle we have here at Fafblog. Oh sure, we could've written something for Monday. And we could've written something for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, too. But that'd just be taking the easy way out. We'll not-post today, we'll not-post tomorrow, and we'll not-post for as long as it takes just to satisfy you, our dedicated readers!

P.S. see you on Monday.

    What about inaugurating an old president? Roberts is asking for another do-over.

    I assume by Monday you mean in the sense, or in relation, to your "qualified relationship to linear time"

    I swear the good ship Fafblog get's closer and closer to the open jaws of the giant fish every time I look. I sense doom. (and my captcha fartam seems menacing as well)

    I'm starting to think that the moon landing was real, but everything else was filmed on a sound stage. That would explain the bad casting and all.

    In several European languages, the word "Monday" is related to the name of our planet's satellite.

    It's Monday. There's no new posting on Fafblog.
    So it is clear that things are indeed back to normal after the frenzied activity of the past few weeks.
    Ooo. My squiggle word thingy says "enchant."

    Together with astelehen and asteazken, the name "astearte" has often been taken as meaning that the Basques once recognized a three-day week, but such an arrangement seems inconvenient and implausible. Moreover, the absence of the expected combining form *asta-, the absence of any resolution of the hiatus and the apparent retention in the second of the aspiration in an illegal position all indicate strongly that all three words are late formations, though of wholly obscure motivation.

    I'm tempted to keep clicking the comment button all night because of these fun words.

    "Phasible."
    "Pacricti."
    "Ritsiste."
    "Giediums."

    Much more fun than that letters-and-numbers junk you usually see...

    It's not easy to tell the difference between post-modernist blogging and not-post blogging modernism.

    On second thought ...

    It is.

    I think of this exercise as the sort of thing one sees in Dominant/Submissive sex play, when one is teased with the possibility of cumming, only to be denied it again and again. The analogy would be perfect if Fafnir actually cared whether we are ever satisfied. Fafnir, of course, is a thoroughly postmodern Dom, and in fact cares only for pie. As is only right and proper.
