Blog Love Omega Glee: Happy Leif Erikson Day! (9 October 2012)

Jake phones up Francine to wish her a happy Leif Erikson Day.

"Leif Erikson Day?" she says.

"Yeah, I came across it when I was reading about Christopher Columbus yesterday."

"You're really getting into this history teaching thing, aren't you?"

"Well, you know, I always found history interesting."

"Let me guess, Christopher Columbus was a wrestler like Abraham Lincoln was."

"Uh, I don't know, but that would be a cool history grudge match between Leif and Chris. The winner could be the first champion of North America or something."

"You should write that up for your blog."

"I would, but I quit doing it."

"You quit your blog?"

"Yeah, didn't you see my latest post?"

"No, I'm behind on my blog reading."

"See, you have sex with me and you don't even read my blog. No wonder I quit."

"Jake!"

"I'm kidding. I know you read my blog. I can tell from the tracking statistics."

"You cyberstalker!"

"Well, that was when I had faint hopes of selling advertising. It was already set up so I let it run. I was always curious who read the darn thing though. Not many people as of late but that's mainly because I haven't been posting much."

"Too busy?"

"No, not more than usual. I think I just got bored with doing it."

"But you love wrestling and you love your blog."

"Well, I still love wrestling, but I think I just want to be a mark and enjoy it and not analyze every business move of it. Some of the behind the scenes stuff isn't much fun. It's a pretty scummy industry. They're basically carnies."

"Stereotype much?"

"Have you ever ridden a ride at a carnival and not stepped in vomit?"

"Oh, Jake. Well, I couldn't imagine life without my blog. Sometimes I think it's all that keeps me sane."

"You mean I don't keep you sane?"

"No, baby, you drive me crazy," Francine says.
