Did you hear that the BBC is putting out a new series that features quiet, awkward, nerdy comedians mocking 17th century metaphysical poetry? What a lame idea. I mean, the BBC is always rehashing the most bland, redundant material. When are they going to get their act together?
It’s like, Mr. Bean there, John Donne that.
So: day six already.
We at the Schplog gave up vacuuming for Lint.
What about you?
It’s a good thing Al Gore didn’t do any dancing while on stage at the Oscars.
Being so mathematically and scientifically inclined, he is always prone to breaking out into an Al Gore Rhythm.
I know, I know.
Anyway, on to the real joke. There was all this talk at the Oscars about An Inconvenient Truth having a strong metaphorical value. It was more like an allegory.
Would a knight of the round table accompany Helen Mirren to the Oscars?
Why, Sir-tainly he would.
(But not Sir Ben Kingsley — what would be funny about that?)
Well, the best thing about the Oscars was that Ellen DeGeneres was funny …
but without trying to schtick it down your throat.
Schplog us, baby.
Come on. You know you want to.
Here is how you submit your schplog according to protocol:
1. Leave your schplog right here in the comments.
(which we moderate so it won’t get published as a comment, heaven forfend).
2. Please specify category/ies. For heaven’s sake don’t make us think.
3. We will post it if it’s generally agreed to be schploggable. If you send us a lot of great schplogs we might even invite you to officially join the team.

We at the schplog love the mint!
They have a terrific sense of humor (historic change! get it? get it?), an awkward yet charming desire to be liked (”Find out more about this new and exciting program: Sign up for email updates“) and now they are going to put our favorite president on a coin.
That’s right! And if that isn’t a news ITEM worthy of being schplogged I don’t know what is. Our very own Herbert Hoover on a presidential dollar coin. And not in disguise as Rufus T. Firefly either.
Admittedly he won’t be out until 2014 (how very futuristic and forward-thinking of him) but we schploggers won’t touch a dirty dollar coin until he’s resting safely in the palms of our aged and wrinkled hands.
We love Herbert Hoover. And we salute the U.S. mint for loving him too, with honor, dignity and a little splash of mintegrity
Following the trend — created right here on the Schplog — of paying homage to the knights of the round table and other notables of yore, Harley Davidson launched their new baby (sadly misspelled) the Nightster.
And speaking of which, which knight of the round table accidently rode his horse into a group of Hell’s Angels never to be seen again?
Sir Render
You probably heard about the fiasco that nearly ensued when Rolls Royce was bringing the Silver Mist to Germany. Mist, in German, means manure or muck (at best). So Rolls had to cover their behind and change the name to the Silver Shadow.
Well, here at the Schplog we are getting all excited for the German debut of the Chevy Grand Schlam!*
* Schlam: yet another German word for muck
The American yoga community has embarked on a joint project with the adult enterntainment industry resulting in a new cross-over periodical, “Yogi Bare.”
