Recommended Blogging 1 - Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and A Half

I'm beginning yet another new series of posts today entitled "Recommended Blogging". The fact that I have created yet another series for my blog of course relates to the fact that, organizer that I like to consider myself, when I have the power to, I must create boxes, literal and theoritical, in which to put things. But I digress. (Amazing how, with only one sentence out of the gate , I can digress into a totally different subject. Oh, I'm doing it again...

One of my Facebook friends posted a link forwarded to her from a friend. So how many people it was passed through is completely unknown. However, unlike one of those childhood games about trying to pass a sentence verbatim from child to child and seeing how the original sentence comes out at the end, passing a link to a website, blog, etc. will remain the same. What a hoot this blog is. Allie Brosh types out Hyperbole and A Half, a skewed look at life with an amazing, wicked sense of humor. According to the interview with Allie done earlier and referenced below, she has been receiving up to 2 million visits a month - yes, that's million and month with a capital M, well, small m but you get the picture.

There were two of her posts really got my attention and tickled me to the point of laughing out loud. The first one is mentioned in the aforementioned interview, available here, while the post "How a Fish Almost Destroyed My Childhood is here.

The second one hit home if for no other reason than one of my colleagues and I had been having a good laugh over the hyperbole on a can of a "physical boost drink powder" he had gotten on the recommendation of another colleague. That in itself is worth a post and will get one soon. In the meantime, enjoy Allie's
Xtreme Muscle Product!

I'll be posting more of these as the spirit, time and energy move/allow me!
