The Island Of Misfit Blog Posts
I had a few ideas for blog posts last year that never made it to the light of day. They were either not fleshed out very well or I was just too busy to finish them at the moment. I thought that I would spill out the raw ideas onto this post, just to give you an idea of what I’m thinking about from time to time.
Sir Toppem Hat’s Cult Of Personality (3/5/09)
Like the “family” of Charles Manson, the locomotives of Sodor require the affection of their appointed leader. To gain that affection, each has been brainwashed to believe that salvation comes at the expense of being “Really Useful”. Never-ending servitude is a small price to pay to be praised by God on his own island paradise. Just don’t drink the Kool-Aid!
The Neurosis Of Lofty The Crane (5/18/09)
Aiden loves Bob The Builder. He just can’t get enough of the construction vehicles. Each one has its own personality, and in some cases, neuroses. Lofty the Crane, for instance, absolutely refuses to give a confident answer to anything.
Can we do it, Lofty? Lofty says, “Um, yeah, I think so”. This shows a lack of self confidence. Instead of just ignoring the obvious warning signs, Bob and his friends should stage an intervention. Maybe put Lofty on some anti-anxiety medication. Can you do that for trucks?
Remind Me Not To Push Cars Up Hills (11/9/09)
Cassie got a new car! Well, new in the sense that she never owned it before. It doesn’t actually run, so we had to tow it to her house and then push it into the garage. About 50 feet.
“Oh, this car is light! I could push this car all day!” I was down in front, hunkered over the hood, helping to push the car back. Then, once the car was up past the curb, it hit me. My legs were burning from the knees up. They still are. Ow ow ow!
In retrospect, I can kind of see why I never finished these. I probably could have squeezed out a couple of paragraphs on each one, but I only provide quality blog posts to you, my faithful readers. All three of you (you know who you are). I’ve actually got one more old one in disrepair, but I really want to finish that one. Watch this space!

Dude, you gotta finish that Bob the Builder one — that’s funny.
Also get to the podcasting experience already!
You only provide quality posts?
What do you call this one?
Jim T´s last blog: October-December 2009 album
There are several levels of quality, you see. This one just isn’t of the highest level of quality. It’s somewhere between “really well done Twitter post” and the third or fourth volume of the “Captain Underpants” saga.
