Thank you! You're one of the very few people who I expected to fully appreciate this entry, especially the ending. I think that for anyone who has read the entry with the Devil's "I fell once" line that it probably ranks as one of their all time faves. I know it is with me. I think one of Pug's friends even made an icon out of it. Heh.
I was trying to post it before Christmas but I only had about 2/3 of it written and then the holiday family plans got into full gear. I finished it on Christmas Day I think. A belated Merry Christmas to ya, Pug.
I had been wanting to do a parody of your journal for some time but never had any good ideas. Then I re-watched Fight Club a couple of weeks ago and it inspired me. The "flashback humor" line in the final sequence that I had somehow never picked-up on before gave me the idea to have people in an entry writing it in "real time" and arguing over the way it was being written. Your third person journal style and penchant for the surreal made the perfect vehicle for it.
I had lots, lots more ideas for gags, but the constant setups and callbacks to them would've gotten tedious and obvious after a while. So I stuck with this little five act tribute. Maybe I'll just hafta save them for next Christmas.
I'm glad you liked it. Given the inside-joke nature of it, I was basically writing for an audience of one. :)
Jumping Jehosaphat! It's a terrific tribute and everyone loves The Pug. We just wish that he'd update a little more often, but it's good to see that in an absolute emergency, you can take up some of the slack.
I'm sure it takes some time for him to develop the inspiration. (Unlike me, who has to restrain himself and use filters to keep from polluting the airwaves with whatever random thought crosses my mind. Heck, I'm even considering starting a seperate journal, where I can post multiple short posts without feeling guilty and overwhelming my friendslist)
It also may be the season for us all to consider Ef because I don't remember exactly who may have been the potential recipient, but it was definitely somebody who would've understood, when the other day, I almost offered somebody a Hot Pocket® in a comment.
BTW: Also, thanks for the camera suggestion. As I posted before the holiday, I was torn between a variation on your FujiFilm suggestion and one for SuZen's Olympus. After a lot of research and way too much thought, I went with a Fuji based on your recommendation and because there was a model available locally

Then I read the end involving one of my favorite Pug Of War entries.
You, sir, are all that is man.

That's one of the best pics of My Posey that I've ever seen.
She's on the cover of the most recent issue of Bust.
I love it.
