Tragedy in the Cheddarsphere: The Story of Drinking Right 10-10-06

Last night was a very solemn occasion. One blogger in particular was inconsolable. We'll call him "Fred" because nobody would take that name seriously.

Allow me to embellish a conversation that I overheard between "Fred" and SteveEgg:

Fred: They're all gone! They're dead!

Steve: Who is?

Fred: Everyone, even Charlie Sykes.

Steve: Since when?

Fred: I don't know, it must've all happened at once. Why else wouldn't they be here?

Steve: You think they're dead just because they missed Drinking Right?

Fred: It's the only good reason to miss it.

Steve: I know, but some people might have other reasons.

Fred: Like what?

Steve: Well, some people are just jerks.

Fred: Elliot?

Steve: Especially Elliot.

Fred: **Sniff** Not Dennis York?

Steve: I'm sure that Dennis really wanted to be here. Some people just can't get their priorities straightened out.

Fred: And Xoff?

Steve: Come on, he's too busy patting Jim Doyle on the back.

Fred: Don't they know that they're worrying me to death? Jenna's not here either. I was afraid that there would be no more podcasts.

Steve: Settle down, man.

Fred: Settle down? The whole WTMJ staff is MIA and you're telling me to settle down?

Steve: Get over it man. Charlie Sykes thinks you're a flaming moron.

Fred: He does?

Steve: Everyone does.

Fred: Phelony Jones and Belle do?

Steve: They think you're stalking them.

Fred: That's no excuse for scaring me half to death.

Steve: Isn't that what your "Penalty Box" is for?

Fred: Hey... Yeah. I deserve an apology for this.

Kelly: What are you two idiots doing?

So, there you have it. Cheddarsphere bloggers who didn't show at Drinking Right are going to the penalty box until I feel better about this.

Note: This is Charlie Sykes' second trip to the Penalty Box. I may have to name it after him.
