File under "Funny, How to be"

Have you ever dreamed of being a humor blogger? Have you ever aspired to match (or, perhaps in a different dimension, exceed) the glee quotient of such superstars as Mr. Sun? Well, good news, campers. B. at Pish Tosh has published instructions on bringing the funny in the blogosphere. I mean, yeah, sure, she dresses it up all academic-like by calling it "The Rhetoric of Blogging," perhaps a conscious evocation of Wayne Booth's litcrit classic, "The Rhetoric of Fiction," but make no mistake: This is nothing more complicated or less valuable than a simple list of steps you can take toward online humor. (You probably should know that B. considers sex and bad words funny, but there are many other things that are dreamt of in her philosophy, as well.)

So, since the world has never, to my knowledge, suffered an excess of humor, hie thee hence, start bringing the funny and start letting us know where it is once you've brought it. You have your orders! Dismissed!
