1000 sacred cows over a very long time

Regular readers have picked up a running joke here at The Blog Herald in relation to me upsetting a lot of people, I’ve dubbed it everthing from 1000 sacred cows, to pissing off the A-List, but just to show that although some times it’s serious, its always meant constructively; this is the unofficial first post of the sacred cows meme: deconstructing the A and B list of the Blogoshpere, the first Blog Herald Roast, and No.1 off the rank:

Blogger: Duncan Riley

Riley spells like Sh*t. He constantly confuses there and their and is berated by his wife, who occasionally leaves comments on The Blog Herald on a Friday with the things she wants him to pick up at Woolworths on the way home just to be sure he remembers. Grammar sometimes goes out the door, because despite doing the highest level of English in High School he then went on to study the evil subject of Marketing. Being Australian he is confused by the differences in Her Majesties English and American English. Z’s and S’ confuse him regularly, and he tends to vary between both. He unfairly picks on Scoble…well at least Scoble seems to think so, but he secretly worships Scobe and prays daily for him to be delivered from Geek evil. Riley sometimes sounds righteous to new readers, and is labelled as being naive by the readers of one of his favorite reads: ThreadWatch, which recently he has been forced to read using a web browser because Nick W still hasn’t fixed the RSS feed. He regularly F*cks up code, but finds the thrill of coding to live sites fun, and has the only working PVR in the whole of Western Australia, the only state in Australia that still believes that shops opening on a Sunday is tantamount to Devil Worship. He really sucks at moneterizing blogs, but is getting a whole lot better, but desperately wants to be like Darren Rowse without becoming a Baptist. He also gave up Caffeine for his 30th Birthday, and has taken to gazing at bottles of Pepsi Max in the Supermarket after drinking 5 green teas in the morning. He’s also planning to go into business with a couple of high profile chaps to make sure that the idea of Weblog Empire grows, but that story is for another day :-)
