In an act of, possibly, drunken self-confidence the editor of Blawg Review some 18 months ago invited Geeklawyer to do the July 4th review. The normal remit of Blawg Review is to provide balanced intelligent incisive and/or amusing reviews of global law blogs. Quite what possessed him to invite Geeklawyer to do it is beyond comprehension. Indeed ‘Ed’, now sober, seems to be of a similar view if today’s email is to be believed:
“Hello Geeklawyer,
With trepidation, we’re looking forward to your presentation of Blawg
Review #166 next Monday.“
Tripping lightly over the use of the royal ‘We’, Geeklawyer is hard pressed not to sympathise. Does a moment of drunken hubris survive a retraction of appointment? “Dear Geeklawyer we think that, like Lord Byron, you are mad bad and dangerous to know. But unlike him, with no discernable talent, so we have given your slot to a lawyer”
Apparently not.
Nonetheless should any law related blawger/blogger wish to subject himself to the mercies of Geeklawyer they may be assured a sympathetic response. No guarantee will be given of review since space is limited but UK blawgers are particularly welcome. However, tedious European blawgers can keep themselves to themselves, thank you, as even a Europhile like Geeklawyer has a bordedom threshold more than 1 nanometre high.
Submissions should be made to Geeklawyer via the Blawg Review submissions page.
As the judges used to say… “May god have mercy upon your soul… take him down.”
Presumably the Blawg Review won’t take very long to write. How many blawgs can possibly meet GL’s high standards?!
Not yours now
I don’t even have a blawg now! I am blawgless.
I shan’t even BEGIN to grovel for a mention.
No. Really. I shant……
I think we should all take this moment of blawg silence to think about all of the deadlines we’ve MADE against all probability . . . In fact, in response to this week’s blawg review, Blawg Review reader-bloggers might well post on deadlines this coming week . . . .
