The Life of Brians
Well, I know its early for another I Hate Blogs blog, but I’m stuck at the swimming hole with the Widget and I’ve done all the work I can possibly get done. (Foolishly I didn’t bring any extra Bristol board to start the next KOD page because I haven’t been able to print out a script. If I weren’t a retard I’d have noticed that while I may not have a working printer I have THE FRIGGIN’ LAPTOP with me! Its hard being such an idiot sometimes.)
Anyway, I was adding some links and uploading art the other day when I noticed that some other website had linked to me. This always excites me way beyond the point that it has a right to. So I checked it out and it was a website that I look at quite a lot but have never had any interaction with. Unable to find where the link leading back to my website is I send the Comic Book Conventions guys an email to see if they can help. And they can. A prompt reply is sent back to me by some guy named Brian.
Brian.
In the past few months I’ve been noticing a disturbing and sinister trend here on the I Hate Bolgs blog –there are literally dozens of guys named Brian, either visiting the blog, and or, leaving comments.
Now I’m not sure what’s going on here, but my highly acute pseudo-science-sense are telling me that something is amiss. That some sort of massive web-based convergence of Brians is underway and God only knows what will occur when the last Brian is gathered into the fold!
So to commemorate this no doubt apocalyptic event I’ve decided that I need to design a t-shirt exclusively for the Brian Horde. And if we ever get the kinks worked out of the on-line store you guys might be able to buy them.
If any Brians out there would like to submit there own t-shirt design I’d be glad to share it with the rest of your clan. Maybe we should have a contest and actually print up the winner’s shirts.
In other news, Dorinda is back! She had a great time at school and is furious to be back at work. I called her from my little fake-beach paradise just moments ago, under the guise of missing the sound of her voice, but really just to remind her that I was dipping my toes in a lake while she worked an X-ray machine, sweating under the bulk of her led vest.
Seriously though, I am super-stoked to have her home. Not only can I end the passionate affair I’ve been having with my right hand since she left, but I really am happy to hear her voice around the house again.

Oh, here’s my work-in-progress on the Brian shirt.

Love the T-Shirt design.
As for the name Brian. When I was growing up there were very few Brians around and it wasn’t a name you saw very often in the popular media. So I was more than a little excited when I learned that Ireland’s greatest King, the Lion of Ireland, was named Brian Boru. The fact that his Queen was a six foot tall red headed warrior babe didn’t hurt either. Then, of course, came Monty Python’s, “The Life of Brian,” and as they say, the rest was history.

Gather these weaker Brians so that they may be smoten.

Smoten? Spoken like a true Lesser Brian, seems to me. This humble Brian (#9,682 on the scottwegener.com Brian-O-Meter) actually wanted to be a “John” like his daddy (not “john”; there’s a difference!), but that got vetoed. Turns out the dad-man knew what he was talking about. It only took me 31 years to find this little slice of Brian Nirvana on the interwebs.
Know what’s even cooler? When people type “Brain” instead of “Brian”. Like they think I’m all smart and stuff.

I’m lookin’ forward to your store working. I can’t wait to get into a Robo shirt and party like a rock star.
You heading to Baltimore for Otakon? Tim says he’s probably bringing me there.
Yay! Free trips to conventions.

I’ll be in Baltimore, but for the Baltimore ComiCon in Sept., not Otakon. I hear its a great show, but not one that seems like a money-maker for me and my stuff.
Not yet anyway.
