True Confession of a Blogger

Has anyone here ever made a time capsule and then totally forgotten about it? I used to make them all the time, but I don't know if anyone else was as insane as me, so I'll explain the sentiment. When you make a time capsule, you are so excited for the date (however far away) when you get to open it. Usually if you're a kid, you open it a month or so later and it's somewhat anticlimactic. Then you stick it in your closet and find it ten years later and it's pretty awesome.

Well, back in December Mrhe and I were talking and for some reason (I'm pretty sure spiked hot chocolate and a Bear Grylls marathon led us to this) decided it would be this hilarious prank to ghostwrite an entry on each other's blogs and sort of write a caricature of the other person's blogging style, to see if anyone noticed.

We thought it was going to be way more controversial than it was -- we thought everyone was going to be commenting "I KNOW THIS ISN'T YOU!!" We were so convinced that people would actually notice and care that we decided we were going to post them at the exact same time. The other rule was that we couldn't look at the entry prior to posting.

So we both typed up our blogs for the other and emailed each other the HTML. The next morning we waited with bated breath for everyone to start catching on.

No one ever did.

We kind of chuckled about it and chalked it up to our excellent writing skills and moved on.

Until tonight when I was looking for the word "croissant" to see how many times it came up on 2GD.com, I remembered our prank.

It became funnier tonight, months later, than it probably ever was. So, dear readers, I am going to let you in on it.

Here was my blog on Two Grim Dudes, written as MRhe.
And MRhe's appearance on mine.

There you have it! Punk'd, blogger style.
