My First Tenant: The Fifth Column

Ironically enough, my first BlogExplosion tenant is in fact the blog I just tried to rent myself because I liked it so much. So when they wanted to rent a little piece of real estate here, well, I couldn't say no.

My first tenant is: The Fifth Column.



Any site that has a picture of a Shatner doing the "Khan" take with the byline "Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhg!" had something going for it from the start, and before I started reading the articles, the captions under the pictures indicated a certain dementia that I find so refreshing in my written entertainment. For those of you who don't like swearing, it may not be your thing, but I found it spot on.

For example, it exposed me to, aside from anthrax, the post-9/11 dating world in a funny and relevant way. I mean, I will carry those last two longer paragraphs along with my mental baggage for a while.

There was also a rather well-written rant about Star Wars/George Lucas which I won't wreck by disclosing a key detail(though seeing as it was dropped this month, I guess some of you already know what it is about). And I have to like bloggers who took the same stance I did over the Kaavya Viswanathan affair and Snakes on a Plane.

In short, it is more than worth your time to check out. I would also like to thank the other candidates for the real estate, because I hope to rent to you soon.
