Blogging lesson #24: Back up your database.

Of course, I wouldn’t have learned this lesson if my wonderful hosting service hadn’t seen fit to randomly delete my database…   twice…   but ANYHOO…

This gives me a chance to start anew.  This gives me a chance to work my way back to the top in the “Kevin McGladdery” Google sweepstakes, and gives me a chance to right the many, many wrongs that this blog has brought about in the past.

Maybe my new blog will be all caps, all the time.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Remember before my blog exploded, and I told everyone that I was going to become the #1 search term on Google for both “McGladdery” and “Kevin McGladdery?” Remember how I said that my newfound popularity for this search term was going to be a springboard for me to launch my radical Whig agenda?

People actually are searching for the term “Kevin McGladdery,” and it’s freaking me out. Who are these people searching for me, and what do they want?

“But Kevin,” you might say, “Maybe these people are searching for a different ‘Kevin McGladdery.’”

As if. It should be clear that I’m the only Kevin McGladdery who counts. The other two or three are inferior, not worthy of the name they bear. All those who dare lay claim to my name shall rue the day somebody named him… Ke-vin-McGladdery.

Is there anyone else out there that thinks today’s hybrid cars are a direct result of Captain Planet?  Is there anyone out there that still feels sorry for the kid who got the “Heart” ring?  Everyone else had cool superhero type powers..  the “Heart” kid had a helper monkey and had to try to carry conversations with animals.

Huh..  upon closer inspection, this show had lots of fairly famous people involved.  Whoopi and LeVar, to name two. (Quick thought: What kind of names are those? KeVin? What?)
It guess it’s true.  It always comes back to Star Trek.

Normally, I like the Beach Boys. They’re fun. They know how to do a greatest hits album. I like early Beach Boys, I like later Beach Boys.

I don’t like “Shut Down.” It’s like listening to someone sing a technical manual, with riveting lyrics like “Declinin’ numbers at an even rate,” and “Pedal’s to the floor hear the dual quads drink.”

The part I really hate about this song, however, is the fact that the phrase “fuel injected” occurs no less than three times in this song. Once is too much for any song, let alone three times.  It is my understanding that fuel injectors became a standard part of automobiles in the 1980’s, and before that they were mostly found in just oval/drag racing cars.

This is no excuse for a horrible song.  I’ve decided to start referring to my car as my “Fuel Injected Regal.”  If people didn’t think I was weird enough before, this ought to do the trick.

Next time on the Tree of Woe: Kevin McGladdery examines the extensive social problems and needless violence that stem from the Beach Boys song, “Be True to Your School.”

It’s official: Star Trek XI.

I’m suprised to see it happen. I thought if Star Trek were to make any sort of return, it would be more of a straight to DVD thing like “Tuvok’s Greatest Hits.” I am, however, proved wrong once again.

The plot will involve the early years of Kirk and Spock, while they are at the academy.  You heard me right.

It’s hard to imagine Kirk and Spock being played by anyone else other than Shatner and Nimoy, more so than most other TV or movie characters that I can think of, possibly because they are both very.. distinct. Who else can be those two characters? Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville, that’s who. In fact, let’s start that rumor.

I expect to see this development reported on E! by the end of the week.
