Scoble has a man crush on me. And I've got one on him. Scary!


See here. Robert Scoble, king of all bloggers, admits he loves me, even when I'm bashing him. Okay, I'll admit something too. I'm strangely obsessed with Scoble, and I don't know why. What is it about Scoble that once you start thinking about him you can't stop? Why do I tease him incessantly on my blog? Why do I walk around the house muttering Scoble, Scoble, Scoble? Why do I dream about him, and wake up in a cold sweat? Why do I keep writing his name in my notebook, or writing "FSJ+RS" with hearts around it? Why do I sit at my desk twirling my hair and writing "Mrs. Scoble," and "Mrs. Robert Scoble," and "Steven P. Scoble" just to see what it looks like?

Scoble says I should go on his show, and we should do some panels together. I totally agree but I have an even better idea. Scoble, we should take this show on the road. Sell tickets and tour the country doing two-geek entertainment or something. Is Bill Graham still booking shows at Fillmore East and Fillmore West? We could open for Hendrix. Or the Allman Brothers. Don King could book us at Caesars Palace in Vegas.

We should at least do panels together, but preferably ones where we get paid a huge amount of money. Even more preferably ones where we can travel to exotic locations with warm weather and speak to audiences of insurance company executives. Or something.

Scoble, I am dead serious about this. Have your people talk to my people. I'll even talk about my huge Damascene conversion from blog hater to blog lover. Let's start at CES in Vegas in January. Find someone to host this thing and let's make some rock 'n' roll history. You think any vendor at CES would dare to bring the noise? Time to step up, people.


Because here's the thing, Scoble. We're meant for one another. You know it, and I know it. Don't give me this guff about being married. I'm married too. That's not going to stop this sweet crazy monkey-man love affair from happening. Have you seen Brokeback Mountain? It's like that, baby. It's in our genes. And in our jeans. You will be mine. Oh yes, sweet cheeks, you will be mine.

Oh, my God! Even though you stepped out of character for this, it made me laugh out loud. "Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scobie"--haaaaahaaaahaaa, Jesus Christ! I can't even begin to contemplate where this could go from here.

I think this blog has been hijacked. How else to account for the absolute master of product design and design suddenly having absolutely no.... taste?

I am a lover of children's literature said...

Ah, how sweet.... FSJ and Scobie.... 2 big bloggers, blogging it out is what I call a real Blogfest!

Bring it on Steve; bring it on Scobie!

'Scoble' is a fun name to say AND type!

I can hardly wait for you guys to do 2 Bloggers, 1 Cup.

FSJ a Scoble gobbler? Oh man, I'm gonna be sick...

Sounds an awful lot like a plot from a recent episode of 30 Rock. That's a show on a network called NBC. Ever heard of it?

Nat said...

People- it's obviously just a bad acid trip. Or maybe he's back on tequila and X. Either way- FSJ is talking like a test pattern and we should probably just let him ramble and sputter for another 12 hours and then he'll be back to normal.

Namaste, -Moshe

What the hell!
Scoble's flashing a "Hook 'em horns" sign. If he went to UT (University of Texas at Austin) and was allowed to graduate, I have to talk to the dean about giving my degree back!

I hope this is a bad dream. Scoble just wiggled his way into a UT-alumni event by putting on a longhorn toy on his large head.

it happened to me. It really did. I literally spilled my coffee on my sweater. A little bit even trickled down to my pants. At a bad place.

You owe me one of those stain removers FSJ.

Man crushes are hilarious yet frightening...kind of like man purses. I think the only think missing from the twirling hair thing was a giant lollipop,pink dress, mary janes and pigtails...lol.

Jungle Boy said...

Ok, no need to panic Longhorns. Drop plans to have Bevo gore him.

Apparently the pics are from a MSFT longhorn launch party. See Scooba's full, perhaps self-written, story on Wikipedia.

It does invite for editing though. Can't believe the Economist covered him. It does reinforce the view that the Economist is really out of touch.

Did anyone see this poll trying to decipher the love triangle that is Scobleizr, Valleywag and Fake Steve Jobs?

The wierd thing is that I have never clicked through to Scoble...until this blog entry.

r you going to tape it?

iDavid said...

What a crying game moment.
Go back to merciless scobletard beatdowns.
Cause its going to take a lot more than mouthwash to wash out the taste of this blog entry.

Brokeback Blogging indeed.

While this posting leaves me feeling rather ill, I find it strangely compelling as well ... I'll set my Tivo to record any movie featuring both Noah Wylie and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in case this gets optioned for the straight to cable market.

"2 Bloggers, 1 cup..."

TOO nasty, just like this entire thread...

I laughed out loud. One for the greatrest hits.

Sausage said...

FSJ would rather see some girl-on-girl action, I'm sure.

After all the love between two women is a beautiful thing....especially if caught on HD video.

justflybob said...

Who cares which Longhorn Scoble's referring to?

They both suck!

FSJ on Scoble action really revs my engine.

Scoble isn't good enough for you FSJ. Don't settle.

Mr. Collegiate said...

Aprel said...

I feel very sad for Bike-Helmet girl.

You are totally crushing her.

But then again - maybe she knew you liked the Hershey highway and that is why you could never get in her pants.

Hey - that means she's available again. Sweet!

oh, i dunno. i wouldn't be so hard on {snicker, snicker!} yourself, fakey steve-o. it's probably not manly man-love. it's more like the same thing that makes us rubber neck car, train & plane wrecks so much. you know you shouldn't look, but you can't tear your eyes away from the carnage.

oh, the hyoo-MAN-ity ...
