After writing the blog of the year, it occurs to me I can not write another blog because any blog I write will pale in comparison. I suppose I could always go for next year's blog of the year award early. Perhaps I should just give advice to others seeking to go for blog of the year.
Batman Gotham's Blog Rules:
1. When in doubt add an amusing picture to your blog. Sometimes people don't want to read words and just want to see pictures.
2. Mention Davy Rocket in your blogs every now and then. If there is a guy that every guy wants to be and every woman wants on GTP, it has to be Davy Rocket. A whole team was asssembled just to rescue that British bloke.
3. When in doubt show your privates. Women really love that. In fact they probably don't get enough of that on here.
4. Disregard number three. It was written by Bizarro Batman Gotham.
You know I am not sure this list is working out. I am starting to get blogger's block on this list. Forget what I just wrote and let me try another blog.
I am not going to talk about the election, although I do want to talk about something that I hear a lot and it concerns the election in a way. There is this popular belief that America is a divided country, that we are constantly at odds with each other over our poltical views, In my everyday life I encounter every day people, hundreds of every day people and these people are not at each other's throats. They are not yelling at each other over their political views. As an American I can't stand when I hear people say these things when they have no idea what they are talking about. I am not saying it doesn't happen that people get into debates about politics, but it doesn't happen as often as we are lead to believe. You do see a lot of angry debates on news programs, but that is the way those shows work. If no one is screaming at each other, it isn't entertaining, although I would argue that it really isn't entertaining. It is on the same level as a Jerry Springer show, but at least the Jerry Springer show is honest about the junk that is on that show.
While I am at it, I night as well say that I hate Americans who say they are embarrassed to be American simply because they don't like the president. It is a silly thing to say. It is something that I will never say no matter if Donald Duck was president, which is probably impossible since Donald Duck is cartoon character, but more importantly you can't have a president that doesn't wear pants. Yeah ok if you want to make the obvious joke about that, go ahead fine do it. You know what I mean.
Switching topics, time for some good news, bad news. First the bad news, My Xbox Elite has gone to heaven. Oh no I am trouble with the atheists, now. Oh god help me. Oh I did it again.I kid the atheists.
I turned on my Xbox Elite and saw red rings. My first reaction wasn't one of horror or anger or sadness. My first reaction was how cool the red rings looked in contrast to the blackness of the Elite. I guess that's what happens after being a fan of the Xbox 360. You have to accept the fact that every now and then you might get red rings. In this case the red rings weren't permanent and I was able to play Dead Space for the first time and I had no problems. I will see how much life I will squeeze out of the Elite before I need to get a new Elite. I did get an earlier version of the Elite so maybe that has something to do with it. Something called the Elite shouldn't die the same death as the regular Xbox 360. A system called the Elite should be made of stronger material then the regular Xbox 360.
I do have the regular Xbox 360 that I replaced when I went through my first non-red ring Xbox 360 demise, so when my Xbox 360 Elite does end up "sleeping with the fishes" instead of getting a new Elite I might just put that hardrive in the regular Xbox 360's shell.
Time for the good news portion to the story. My Best Buy two year warranty doesn't expire until August, so instead of waiting it out I am just going to Best Buy on Thursday and get a brand new Xbox Elite. This doesn't mean I won't be establishing an Xbox 360 fund. Microsoft is damn lucky to have devoted fans of its system. Nothing stops us from coming back for more.
I am sorry this was not up to blog of the year standards. I thought about bringing back the DavyRocket Recovery Team, but it is clear to me that team should only assemble during dire situations. My next blog will make up for it as I will be posting something that many of you probably thought you would never see, nude photos of Cursed Eagle. Yeah that's what I said. By the way try to discourage Cursed Eagle from reading this blog. Y2Kevin send her some chocolate from the Wonka factory you work at. That should occupy her time. If you sell chocolate guns, that would be idea for Eagle. Chocolate guns...what an great idea. It could also come in a package with chocolate bullets or even a chocolate magazine.
