The Fabricator
Bloggers blog on blogs about bloggers
The main content in most Nashville-based blogs last week was about a meeting of bloggers at a restaurant owned by a blogger. Bloggers blogged about their anticipation of the event, they posted photos on their blogs of themselves with other bloggers, and many bloggers rushed home to blog about how nice it was to meet people who are bloggers—just like themselves!
“It was so neat to put faces with the blogging personalities,” one blogger says. “And I was surprised to learn that several of them have jobs.”
Fake movie title slays teens in backseat
Local teens Parker Levinson and Dan Link, riding in the backseat of the Levinson family’s Lexus SUV being driven by Parker’s mother, Sandy Levinson, were reduced to uncontrollable laughter when one of them came up with the idea of calling the new Mel Gibson movie Apocalypto by the fake name “A-crock-of-shit-o.”

The pair of 16-year-old Hillsboro High students “were laughing like this was the funniest utterance in the history of humankind,” Sandy Levinson says. “But at least it was better than last week when they were calling the Christmas movie Deck the Halls, ‘Dick the Balls.’ They thought that one was pretty great, too.”
Bloggers blog on blogs about previous blog item
The first item in this column has already been the subject of several indignant blogs, sources report. “Lots of bloggers blogged about the blog item that led this week’s Fabricator,” says Brittney Gilbert, who reads and reports on blogs for WKRN news and the blog Nashville Is Talking. “They seem to think, generally, that it’s a sophomoric item that seeks to make them appear self-centered, primarily through the literary device of repeating variations of the term ‘blog’ for intended comic effect,” Gilbert says. “They are not amused.”
Teens think of another one
“What if there was a sequel to Frosty the Snow Man in which he became a male prostitute, and they called it ‘Frosty the Ho Man’?” asks Link, as Levinson, the other 16-year-old, laughs and his mom, in the front seat, rolls her eyes.
“You guys are weird,” she says.
