You're Wrong!

SUPERBLOG!! will never die.

It may stumble and fall and suck and blow. It may be an occasional embarrassment. By which I mean a constant embarrassment. It may be an outdated experiment. It may be a Nothing blog, Rarely Updated, Ignored By Its Former Fans and Even Its Creators. It may continually make promises of radical changes that never happen.

But it is the Alpha and the Omega. It is the Light-Bringer. It is the Christ. It's your father and mother and brother and lover. But better than all of them, because it will be with you always, even to the End of Tim. And the End of Time.

SUPERBLOG!! was here before you were born, and it will be here long after you are all dead dead dead

If I'm lying, may the Lord punish me by striking me with a bad case of hubris.

Murphymass is Nearly Over

It's always sad when seasons end and now is no exception. Tomorrow Murphymass will officially be over and done with for 2009. And just a few more days of the year remain and then it will be 2010 and who knows what the future might bring? Further strife and poverty and starvation and homelessness and death, quite possibly. War and rape and violence, most likely. But even in the midst of all this sadity and worry, we have to smile and laugh and dance and sing. Because no matter how shitty our lives might be, we can be certain of two things:

1. There are other people on this planet who have it even worse. (A dozen people starve to death every minute. A hundred children are born with AIDS every day.)
2. In time, things will get worse for us as well. We probably won't starve, but any one of us could get hit by a car and die tomorrow. And even if no sudden catastrophe occurs, we (and our loved ones) are slowly deteriorating and dying. You're not just imagining it: time is running out.

And if those two thoughts don't warm your heart and make you sleep well tonight, I don't know what you want from me.

The Ten Murphys of Murphymass!

It's Murphymass. Let's celebrate all the Murphys we know! These are the ten Murphys of Murphymass!!



1. Brittany. The best of all possible Murphys. She's in heaven now.



2-3. Alex & Sean. One was a robotic cop, the other a correctional officer. Neither of them existed, but were rather portrayed by professional "actors" who just pretended to be Alex & Sean. When this ugly truth was exposed, people were appalled and turned on them.



4. Bleeding Gums. One of the boringest of all Simpsons characters. And that's saying a lot considering how mediocre the once-excellent show has turned in recent years. Although the last season (#21) has so far been an improvement on the 20th. No thanks to Bleeding Gums!



5. Cillian. Slightly famous person who has, again, been employed as a professional "actor". The difference to Alex & Sean though is that in this case he himself is the actual Murphy, and the persons whose lives he acts out on screen are only pretend. There is no such thing as a scarecrow.



6. Brown. Unlike most people on this list, her FIRST name is Murphy. Totally crazy.



7. Can't remember her name. She's a model that popped up in Google Image search. But she deserves a spot on this Murphymass list as much as anyone.



8. Eddie. Of course! The star of Meet Dave.



9. Michael. Semi-known although mostly unknown for Robert Altman's classic Tanner '88 and its not-quite-as-good-but-still-worthwhile follow-up Tanner on Tanner.



10. Oakes. Obviously we couldn't leave the fourteenth Governor of Arizona Territory off this list. Learn all about his fascinating life on Wikipedia!
