Hi, I'm Dos from the incredibly widely read blog, the 3184 blog. In the past years, we have become a true fixture of American popular culture. No one has to explain what inceptiongate is anymore. The word has become a part of the American language. We are in talks of turning our blog into a movie and a TV series with netflix. During our rise to fame, we have been constantly asked the same question by average people, presidents, royalty and scholars. What is your secret to making such an immensely popular blog? Obviously, there is no formula. Some things stick with the American public and some do not. Well, what I will do is give you a glimpse into how one month worth of blog posts are made and maybe you will be able to catch a little bit of that magic that other blogs have been unable to find.
At the beginning of every month a staff of 12 writers sit around and brainstorm ideas. As the main talent of the blog, Doc and I are not involved in this part of the process. We are usually playing golf on one of Scotland's fabulous greens. These 12 writers, whose names I don't recall, throw around several ideas for the blog. These ideas are sent to our secretary who reads them to us over the phone. With a simple yes or no we decide which ideas are accepted and which are denied. In fact, I once fired a writer during one of these phone calls for suggesting that I write a post about the video game Q-bert.
The second week of the month is when Doc and I go to Columbia to get our....ugh...medication. Since we are busy the 12 writers start working on writing the posts for the month. Now, these are in a very rough draft form. That Dos and Doc magic is not infused into it yet. They will have to wait for us to get our hands on it for that to occur. The rough drafts then get faxed over to our animation studios in Korea. Doc and I are both illiterate, so we need these posts to be turned into cartoons so we can understand what the writers are suggesting. Week two ends with Doc and I viewing the suggested posts for the month, in cartoon form, and either giving it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
During week three, the transcripts of these cartoons are then given to our secretary who re-types them in blog post form. She also edits them as she feels to make them better. On week four everything is completed and our secretary starts posting the blog posts in any order she feel comfortable with. She randomly applies my name or Doc's name to each post.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes view of the 3184 blog. As you can see, Doc and I work tirelessly for a month to get you this incredibly detained and nuanced posts. Only the best for our readers! And now, to fill up space and make this post look longer, some random words and punctuation marks:
Chicken blunt horseradish! Nose army, cool hurt luck. Flippy tin can man. Arsenal bratwurst hockey goof chagrin. Monster like turkey but beer cheap rung. Tick lap Nantucket. Forth last park wacko stick up town. Hip antidisestablishmentarianism fop. Chicken!
