Well, don't just stand there, the flies are coming in.

There's this guy, right, and he walks into a bar. And the barman says to him, "Hey, you're the guy who writes those blog things, aren't you? The mailbag ones?" The guy says "Yeah." The barman goes, "Well I ain't serving you a thing until I see a new post on the site! Now git!" So the guy leaves the bar and sits at his computer and creates a new blog post. True story.
