50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

nailed it

Posted on 23 November, 2005 By Wil

Remember when I wrote about how Annie lost a bet?

Well, she paid up, and it is brilliant. Please enjoy Annie’s blog, which we decided needs to be called Jesus’ Favorite. She has to update it once a day for a week.

I lost a bet. 

So now I have to start a blog. 

It’s that simple. 

Apparently the Kings of Nerdville decided this would be fair
punishment. Not a shot, or a drink, or something normal! But a blog. A
fucking blog. And can you guess who these kings would be? Yep. Bingo.

Wil Wheaton

and

Shane Nickerson

(Actually I think Wil is the King and Shane is the Duke).

Now we have Annie’s, my, and Shane’s recollection of the cast party. It’s like Rashomon, but on blogs. So it’s actually called blogshomon.

I think Annie is my favorite blogger in the history of the world. She
was already one of my favorite writers and performers, so she just
nailed a trifecta. Annie may have lost the bet, but I think she won
this round of our nerdwar.

Elbow and send.

    I love how you’ve used the comparison to Rashomon. Before I even read the other blogs, I realized exactly what you meant and it’s perfect. I couldn’t have described it better.

    What I’d like to know is which bet you lost.
    (from Dave Barry’s blog…).

    Wil,
    They call this ‘getting hustled’.
    After a week, you’ll be begging her to stop blogging 😛

    Annie isn’t my wife. Annie is one of my fellow writer / performers at ACME.
    My wife is Anne, so it’s an easy mistake to make.

    That was too funny. I’m adding Annie to my new rss list in my new safari version.
    Speaking of funny, how come its funny when Shane says stuff like that but when I do it’s all “get off my lawn” and “I’m calling the police?”

    OMG, that’s so fuckin’ funny. I love Annie already. I love her. Jesus Christ, why does it have to be that my friends that I can do this kind of shit with have to live at least 500 miles away? I mean, all of them.
    Love it already. I will bookmark her page. She’s better than you already Wil *wink* (you know I love you Wil).
    And I dare you, honestly, dare you guys to make a skit, Last Supper skit, Italian style with shots of Jager and… and .. whatever the fuck you drink at an Italian restaurant. Wine? Maybe?
    Take care, good night, and please include pics next time y’all get drunk? And I’m not even Southern. 🙂

    Dude,
    that was fuckin’ hilarious! I’m so gonna check out her blog everyday this week. I hope she continues to write after the bet is over – it’ll be one of my new LOL at work and make everyone think I’m nuts pages.
