Everyone knows the Second Entry is far better than the first.
For one, we've worked out the bugs, and we now know what works and what doesn't.
Moreover, the pressure's off about
"ooo - first entry - better not screw it up" and all that jazzness.
And not to mention the fact that the second entry is usually written by that author who is not so concerned about (and yes, I am doing the
"my fingers are bunny ear quotation mark thangs" gesture)
"being first" or
"getting noticed" or
"looking like Mr. Big Shot Smarty Mod on Campus". No, multi-blogging, like moderating a website dedicated to science-fiction space operas, is all about
"Team".
And we all know how
"Team" is spelled, don't we? There's no
"I" in
"Team" (still doing the bunny ear quotation thang - sorry). There's only
"Me" in
"Team"...but backwards, which means it's not about
"Me", it's about everyone else. It should also be pointed out that there is no
"Lad" in "Team", only an "a", which is not "the", and we all know "a" is used when something is not unique, such as being the only
"Mr. Bigshot Smarty Mod on Campus" even if one of them happened to be faster than the others and made the First Entry. Which none of
"Us" are jealous about. No sir. Not Me. And when I say Me I of course mean
"Us."
(
Note: there is also
"Meat" in
"Team", and if you want to get technical, the secret message
"at Me" and
"M Tea"...but...we don't have time to go into the significance of those moral analogies.)
No, reader, I think you'll agree that you are the beneficiary of a great privilege, that being the experience of reading the Second Entry. Because the Second Entry is clearly better, and makes more sense.
Or not. Ok fine, so Lad got the First Entry. He's always better than me! It's always
"Lad Lad Lad" (insert bunny ears) around the Mod Dinner table! Everyone's all
"ooo - what's Lad doing now" and
"ooo Lad won the Science Fair again" and
"ooo - let's go play catch with Lad"...or...is that
"play lad with Catch"...nevermind...I'm ...a little emotional right now...
