So says Paul over at Sanity's Edge. Right out there in the open too, not all hidden in the comments or in an extended entry.
Long story short: Paul was looking for a new quote for his sidebar and decided to make it a contest. Lots of great entries, but mine won. Because I'm a f*cking cheater genius.
Just to prove there's no hard feelings between myself and the little people, I'll bestow links. Dortch. Shank. Oorgo. Casey. Jim. I'll do more than that, I'll even recommend them because they're smart people (even though none of them link to Rocket Jones dammit (except for Jim)). I know they're smart because they read Paul, and Paul's obviously a genius.
It takes one to know one.
Posted by Ted at January 11, 2005 04:48 AMOh crap, you admitted the cheating. Damn. I guess that means our plot to have you pantsed in public is scratched.
The worst part is that now I must link you in return, or fear the retribution of the Fates of teh Blogosphere.

Posted by: Paul at January 11, 2005 03:22 PMhummm...the little people comment...that smarts...thanks for the link anyway...of course I fear the karmic retribution of not linking you also....so was that the master plan?
Posted by: Casey at January 11, 2005 03:36 PMWell Case, isn't linking the motivation for any post in the blogosphere? The hope that millions will navigate to your website and bask in the warmth of your witty knowledge? That humanity will make you the poster child of enlightened punditry and thoughtful prose? That those who read your daily missives will lead a fuller, happier life because you bestowed upon them the knowledge that is their guiding light? That they can always come to you for a good 'I shit my pants in public' story?
Posted by: shank at January 11, 2005 03:56 PMYou are a genius!
Posted by: annika at January 11, 2005 04:55 PMThanks annika, compliments like that always mean more because they come from the heart (of a hot young lady).
