The House of Lies (Irritating It's Readers With Infrequent Posts Since 1927)

A house. Of lies. My life isn't interesting enough to tell the truth.

Friday, November 26, 2004

Dear readers,

We here at The House of Lies have been, for some time now, working on new and exciting ways to enhance your reading experience. Rest assured, however, that the same shoddy standards, which have made this blog what it is today, will always remain. Indeed, we here at The House of Lies have recently lowered our standards to even further depths, to guarentee the level of quality that you have come to expect in all of our posts.

You may ask: "How is it even possible to make such a blog better?" Good question!

We here at The House of Lies have recently introduced a new feature to our blog: "Non-member comments". Up until this point, it has been impossible for some of our readers to make the scathing comments they so desperately want to make. As a result of this change in policy, you all will be treated to the gobi desert-like wit of none other than our very own foreign correspondant... NEALE CARLETON BARNHOLDEN! That's right folks, he's here. And we're sure that you're going to love him just as much as we do.

You may also ask: "Why the name change?" Another good question, although not as good as the first...

We here at The House of Lies feel that this blog needs some additional prestige and some extra glamour. To that end, we've decided to embark upon a bold new campaign, to let the world know what we're really about. We've been striving to meet the needs of bloggers for a long time, and we think we're pretty good at it. It is the opinion of the Marketing Division of the House of Lies that... Old Doc. Llowyn would be proud...

You may also ask: "Will postings be any more frequent?" A terrible question. One that not only needs no answer, it does not even deserve one.

Neale speaking: Witness my wit! BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No, but seriously. You demanded it, so here I am, making my ASTOUNDIFYING debut. Uh... not much to say, really. I remember Old Doc Llowyn. They say he gunned down twenty-five men in the Colorado Territory, then discovered a silver mine inside his gold mine. But 19th-century gunmen aside, at least your blog has substance. Now, I'm not plugging my blog, but let's just say that its' emotional content is somewhere around 15%. 40% Bran. This blog I'd say... is about 50% meaningful emotional content, 50% assorted jokes/random stories/complaints/postings about the blog itself. Now, if you turn to the pie chart I made in your sloppily-xeroxed presentation guide, you can see that that breaks down into further, even smaller percentiles of demographics. In conclusion, my point is that you should keep the blog alive. KEEP THE BLOG ALIVE. Also keep it real, as you have been doing so far with a startling success rate.
