So, why do you blog?
Posted on | March 5, 2007 | 41 Comments
Is there a worse question in the history of questions? I don’t think so.
It’s like people who ask writers where they get their ideas from.
“Oh, well, I used to get them from Superquinn but now I can get better value for money by buying non-branded ideas from Lidl.”
And it’s the way they ask it as well. It’s the same way they’d ask a question of a swinging Parisian couple as they talk about their underground love life.
“So, why do you like having your balls tickled by an elderly woman while two men fuck your wife in front of you before turning you over and ramming you up the arse?”
Fuck off and think of some better questions.

March 5th, 2007 @ 10:18 am
you don’t sound chinese on the radio. You don’t even sound like you have a beard. You, sir are a FRAUD!!!!!
March 5th, 2007 @ 10:20 am
So solly.

So what was your answer? I take it this was a journo’s question.
March 5th, 2007 @ 10:31 am
I have a standard answer to that question; “Because I like going on and on about myself on the internet.”
They can’t argue with that.

My answer – some drivel about creativity which was as good as the question.
Annie’s answer is very good.
That or “Because if I don’t blog monsters will eat my brain”.

Twenty,
Did you see your immortal visage over on that Gomaith Comic blog? http://gomaithcomic.blogspot.com
Mac N’ Ollie seem to be holding a torch for ya. Good work on the awards, looks like you’ll have to actually poo around the world yourself as people know what you look like now.

You blog because you ARE Twenty.
Because you ARE kranky, ARE creative, because there ARE many fools out there to be put in their place and because there ARE too many broken hearts in the world, too many dreams to be broken in two..la,la,la,la,la,laaaaaa etc etc (repeat to fade…)
Well done on rising above the rest. Keep it up.

You seem to condem being banged up the arse at home here in Ireland!!!
But when you are in Paris it seems to suit you just fine, it must be the romantic in you!!!!?

Tommy, can you translate?
March 5th, 2007 @ 11:23 am
Sorry, just seen you can look at it in English. Still have to use a poxy proxy to look at it though. Stupid NTL.

Hey, how does it feel to be out of the anonymity box? Inflated or deflated?
March 5th, 2007 @ 12:28 pm
Its great reading your blog everyday. You then look at the comments and then reply if appropriate or inappropriate. You get a community feel…or belonging. Sorry gone a bit soft but I think you know what I mean.

Here’s one for next time: Well, since I started blogging, I’ve only killed three people. Why so few, you ask? It’s simply because I find the catharsis of getting my irritations out online leaves me with little desire to hack flesh from bone using only a butter knife.
Then chuckle benevolently and say phew, I mean, you should’ve seen me before I started this thing…
March 5th, 2007 @ 1:07 pm
Twenty how did you manage to convince people not to take your Photo at the blog AWARDS. Well done by the way it seems fame will eventually catch up with you . I just hope no Guards were there taking pictures for future reference.
March 5th, 2007 @ 1:15 pm
In fairness to the news presenter, he fairly snookered you on the “why do you blog” question. Your answer was lame and repetitive and probably left you asking yourself the same thing…
March 5th, 2007 @ 1:18 pm
Yes, he really made me take stock of where I’m going with this thing.
March 5th, 2007 @ 1:47 pm
Ok, ok… He or she, it’s besides the point.
March 5th, 2007 @ 1:48 pm
Exactly.
March 5th, 2007 @ 3:08 pm
The pictures are there I just dont know if on my part they should be published or not as rick has said so far they remain on my camera. Twenty if you want them published let me know and I can include em on flickr when I get the rest of them up.
March 5th, 2007 @ 3:23 pm
Twenty, This is the translated Go Maith.

Don’t want to rain on any parades,but the crowd in the indo seem to think all ye bloggers are a shower of saddo anoracks who work for the civil service.
March 5th, 2007 @ 5:01 pm
Yeah, but the Indo is full of witless cunts, Noddy.
March 5th, 2007 @ 5:48 pm
A pretty useless question. I think you gave it a perfect answer.
March 5th, 2007 @ 5:51 pm
“To score with chicks”
Obviously.
March 5th, 2007 @ 8:47 pm
Sorry Noddy? The crowd in the Indo don’t think much of bloggers? That makes no sense. In fact, it isn’t English
See, the crowd in the Indo aren’t people. It’s like saying haemorrhoids don’t think much of bloggers.
March 5th, 2007 @ 8:55 pm
Was that Indo article online?
March 5th, 2007 @ 9:14 pm
“Is there a worse question in the history of questions? I don’t think so”.
I think
“why don’t you swallow anymore is up there” !!! :)

Sindo article just smelled of fear. Talentless hacks realising that their days are numbered. Almost made me feel sorry for all the duckworths.
March 5th, 2007 @ 10:43 pm
I asked Twenty if I could take his picture and the look he gave indicated that he could not guarantee that my family would be unharmed had I done so.
March 5th, 2007 @ 10:55 pm
If you’d taken a pic of Twenty, your camera would have spontaneously combusted in a chorus of Gregorian Dominuseses. Srsly. It happened to me!
March 5th, 2007 @ 11:22 pm
“Talentless hacks realising that their days are numbered. Almost made me feel sorry for all the duckworths”.
Jeezus, come on Conor. No punishment is good enough for those vacuous arseholes in permanent thrall to every utterance from Anto.

I know a Lidl german
He’s 5’2″
March 6th, 2007 @ 8:26 am
You’re right Dogzbollix. But at least cat owners have something for their animals to shit on during the week, so the Sindo does perfeorm a useful social function.
March 6th, 2007 @ 10:09 am
like all the most worthless enterprises, blogging is its own reward.
March 6th, 2007 @ 10:39 am
Aldi germans are Lidl.
March 6th, 2007 @ 11:03 am
No offense Twenty but stick to the blogging and stay off the radio.
March 6th, 2007 @ 2:22 pm
[...] I had the opportunity to chat with Twenty Major as he was sitting at our table at one point. But what was I going to say to him, apart from something stupid like ‘so why do you blog?’. [...]
March 6th, 2007 @ 4:56 pm
So..answer the god-damn question? Why do you blog (please dont hurt me, Damien put me up to it)
* Noooo…… *
Bet you enjoyed the revered “ooohhh” when your first nomination was said.

Next time round, you could try the Hank Williams Jr explanation: I’m just carryin’ on a family tradition.
