Jake would like to tell the world that he got laid last night, but since he's not a kiss and teller, he instead writes about The Waffle Warrior's big upcoming match against Page Turner. He does so without enthusiasm though. He's been posting less and less lately. Partly that's because his new part-time teaching gig feels more like a full time gig with all the preparation he has to do, and partly that's because he just hasn't felt like posting anything. Not even Blog Update Guilt can get him posting these days. About all he wants to do is moon over Francine, so that's what he does, daydreaming for long stretches of time, staring out a window at some infinity of the imagination.
It's enough to make a reader of his blog irate, but they seem to content themselves with reading one of the billions of other blogs out there. For Jake himself, he realizes that maybe the need he had to do a blog had passed, had been filled, his social media hole satiated, at least for the moment. He thinks about just deleting his blog and walking away from it all, pretending it never existed, but he's too fond of it to do that, so the poor thing just sits there neglected, like a toy that's been forgotten by a child that outgrew it, except for the occasional poor pity post such as this lame one about The Waffle Warrior's match.
"Heel Turn Ahead! I don't think for a moment that we're going to see a rare face vs. face match at the Halloween Hardcore Hootenanny pay per view. Someone is going to turn heel. But who will it be? The Waffle Warrior or The Reader? The smart money's betting on The Reader, but maybe the WWWWWW will surprise us and turn the Breakfast Battler villainous. We've seen some signs of that lately. Look at how he recently viciously toasted Speller B in that giant toaster. Of course, it could all be a swerve and he will continue to swig the syrup of justice, but the good point is that the WWWWWW's writers actually have me guessing for once instead of being able to predict the outcome of championship matches months in advance. And that means it's a good time to be a wrestling fan!"
Unfortunately, with boring posts such as that, it's a bad time to be a reader of Two Out Of Three Falls.
Jake thinks about doing another kind of blog, maybe a personal blog, or, with the presidential election in full swing, a political blog like Francine's . . .
. . . ah, Francine, he thinks and stares off into space for a half an hour with naked memories and caked fantasies playing in his head.
When he shakes his reverie, he turns back to blogging, but not his own, to Francine's. She's just posted something about how she thinks Osamama BinBin LaLaLaden, the terrorist mastermind who has eluded the U.S. government's best efforts to capture him for more than a decade, is really a character portrayed by a swarthy Hollywood B-movie actor named Leo Ahmore who gets trotted out as LaLalaladen whenever the government needs to distract the populace from realizing how much of their wealth gets hoovered up into the hands of war profiteers and the politicians who love them.
Jake has no idea what she's rattling on about it the post, nor does he care. He just thinks, "She's so cute!"

It seems a large contingent of the populace has a thing or two to say about
NYC's Mayor and his proposed large soft drink ban. While I have to agree
that...
