Yep, today's the first anniversary of this blog. Browsing through the archives, I noticed that I don't have an introductory post. The first post of most blogs usually involve a brief introduction of the blogger and some explanations as to why the blogger is blogging, blah, blah, blah. I never did that.
And so, I've decided that I'm gonna do some explaining. No, I'm not going to talk about myself or explain why I started this blog. I'm about to answer a question several people have been pestering me with. The ultimate question, the answer of which isn't 42.
Why the pseudonym "The Ranting Human"?
Sheep in the Big City. Ever watch that cartoon? Quite hilarious. There's this character who comes at the end of every episode. He rants a lot. The Ranting Swede, that's what he's called. That's how I came up with "The Ranting Human".
Why not "The Ranting Indian"? (The ultimate question eventually leads to more questions, you know)
I dunno. Probably cuz it wouldn't suit a global audience? Hell, I never thought about an audience when I set up this blog, so it can't be that.
But you hardly rant! Shouldn't you be called "The (A)Musing Human" or something?
Don't you know when to shut up?
Nice hitchhiker's reference, I'm voting for you on BotB purely for that reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your compliments...
ReplyDeleteI don't have a set top box either, Hobbes. I'm trying to download some episodes now that I have broadband but I can't find them anywhere. I guess I'll have to settle for watching flies zooming in and out of the window.
