"Seriously?  Who does Hannibal think he is?  What's this Soapbox and The Hundred and Four stuff all about?  Why the heck should I leave the nice, comfortable confines of the site I'm on to go check out some weird blog on domains he dreamed up while he was drunk?"

Those are good questions. I hope to give you some good answers. Like what? Like this ...

* A Real International Hero? Close Enough ...: I loved the movie G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Seriously, loved it from wall to wall, despite some admitted problems. Even with that Wayans dude in it? Why? Moreover, how would I respond to critics? That blog answers those questions in detail, while sparring with one of Boston's most illustrious and praiseworthy bloggers and bon vivants, Mister Dart Adams of Nerd with Swag.

* Weave Down and Fatback for Mister Charlie: Who's the strange girl called Fatback? What's the story on her weave? Who are these weirdos she sleeps with? Why did she re-enact the verse from "Rapper's Delight" about dinner? With the amusing assistance of co-worker Casey Jones (and even a movie star cameo), you'll split your sides finding out.

* Blog Fu: Enter the Dragon, Blog Fu: 36th Chamber of Shaolin and Blog Fu: Iron Monkey: What? A triple-threat shot of Blog Fu, a lazy Susan-styled blog which focuses on all kinds of craziness: steganography, 10 products inspired by bacon, a live karaoke performance with Craig Sherman, disturbing stories of crime, the end of UCLA's Undie Run, lip-reading computers, Google's new OC, karaoke Skeletor and so much more.

How about them apples? The same craziness you loved from the MySpace blog, broadcast out to the world! Ch'mon!

Thanks for being along for the ride.
