Beware
"Information overload reduces IQ more than smoking cannabis," concludes Mike: an apparently nice man who writes the apparently nice blog Real Gem. "Beware unchecked infomania."
Only apparently, Mr Fist? A quick check of Mike's profile info suggests the story is worse than that. The info-heavy "everything" is one of his interests, and there amongst his favourite books, that false gem "Finnegan's Wake". Uh oh.
"Information overload reduces understanding of Finnegans Wake to nil", he should have written instead - just as Joyce might have, at his most poetic. "Beware an internet fisting."
Beware.
UPDATE! Mike has not only corrected his ghastly blunder, but also linked to me. Brilliant. See the Comments below, his profile under "Awoken" in the sidebar (my first one, awrh) and his nice blog for more.

LOL. This is my favorite so far. Bravo.
oh dear.
Indeed, another man brought down by unnecessary punctuation. I bet that smart's.
i really really really enjoy this blog...i wish there were more people like you in my daily existence, i would be far more eager to interact with others....
I'm nice and would like to help you ignite your ire to greater heights, so found these links for you:

Enjoy, and can you see how bored I am? That's it - off to buy booze now.
You know, I feel like it would be polite to reply to each of you individually, but really, I just can't be bothered. Don't take offence, I'm just not in the mood.
oh dear. Should we send you something in black?
lol. a garter! a black garter! Or cheerleading outfit. Which would you rather, fist?
I'll have to think over these questions, think over them hard.
I still haven't finished it after X whatever years... I think Finnegan's Wake is like one of those stereogramme images... you look at it with eyes out of focus and a 3d image starts to emerge...
Shit I have a profile that people look at... I'd better check this fist character's...
"Information overload reduces IQ more than dope, concludes Mike"? No, it was someone else what concluded that, Mike disassociate himself from this (to him) unverifiable statement. It was some scientists or something. But there is a reason it's called dope, too, you know.
This is making me think long and hard, this thing you've written, it seems to be leading into some sort of thought-loop. Your likewise info-heavy profile gives no clues. I'll have to retrace and piece together the thinking that lead to this, this is getting more involved than I suspected
One day I'll wake up
'm' maybe we should send YOU something black, like....
coffee! :)Which I have had too much of and still they are keeping me upright using long poles! Despite this, I have yet to see one of those 3D images. Maybe you can help me un-focus.
Excellent Mike, I see you've corrected your profile *and* linked to me. Ok, not with the button, but linked nonetheless. I think that means you are Awake. My first one.
I've only been able to see one of those 3-D image things inspite of trying a lot. It was boring; a donut, as it turned out.
uh a doughnut? dough-not? glad to know I'm not missing a thing!
this is the first time i've seen you type awrh anywhere publicly. this has nothing to do with mike or realgem or ff, so.
Trans - no-one's typed "/* on my screen that I can see. I think it might some kind of profanity filter you have switched on at your end? Either that, or Opera kicks even more ass than even I realised.
i hate you.
Awrh!
all this internet love...
yeah! Cybermancer!
Well done!
