by nucleus5 July 21, 2007 3:02 AM PDT: With the whole Fake-nomenon thing slowly growing and thus slowly getting old,
I predict here the next step will be meta-fake blogs. Fake Steve should get the
honor of being parodied himself via by fakefakesteve as he was really the
pioneer of the style (in blogland anyway.)

I can't be arsed to do it because I'm too lazy but you read it here first. And
please, should anyone decide to try their hand at a meta-fake blog, please make
sure you are actually funny and knowledgeable. E.g. when you start speaking, do
friends and foes start yawning and making excuses to vacate the premises you
share with them? Then just start a blog about your collection of Warhammer
figures. Please.; Reply to this comment

Oxymronic? Surely not
by The Nerg July 21, 2007 10:50 PM PDT: Mythical perhaps, but the Macalope is real, or he couldn't write the blog, so not a fake Macalope or a fake blog, all real!; Reply to this comment

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
