For those who think that the worse the book, the better the blog, we might be entering the Golden Age of Blogger Beware.

They made this into an episode of goosebumps on tv but it was a little different then the book, like always.

I'm surprised you made it the whole time without posting a LOLcat...[2]

Thank you for noticing, because I went out of my way to not make a LOLCat reference. In fact, there was an entire deleted section of the entry with mock-ups of "Hang In There, Baby"-type posters[3] but I decided it was too similar to LOLCats and discarded them.

sup Troy... I know you probably already have the second update done, but just a little request/proposition: If you're gonna do them in order, I don't know about the others but I'LL MISS the spotaneity (sp?) of the blog, like how every week it was a surprise. Knowing that "Earth Geeks Must Go" and "Slappy's Nightmare" are gonna be around the end and half a year away will just... bah, I liked the randomness of what comes next. That adds more excitement to looking forward to each update, not knowing which will show up, and you'll probably see this comment at some point, so would you put that into consideration? Pretty please?

I know I shouldn't speak for the other readers but I'm sure a good deal of them would like it that way. Horrorland would make sense to do in order, but it would be nice to see the old randomness "wonder what's coming next" to the blog.

Of course if you hadn't read a single GB2K book as a child I'd sort of understand. But then again, you hadn't read the entire original series before blogger beware opened up, had you now?

Thanks for the suggestion Zak. It's hard for me to say what the future holds outside of the very next update, and even that has a way of changing at the last moment. I can tell you there's a better than good chance Bride of the Living Dummy will be the next update. Beyond that, who knows[Note 1]

Have you read all of them so far?

I was just curious about this Troy, how long does it take to write an entry?

It takes about three hours to read the book and write the entry.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. The series would be done in order.

References[edit | edit source]

  1. This links to the IMDb page for Twister, likely in reference to the cat tornado mentioned in the main review.
  2. A form of archaic internet meme.
  3. "Hang in there, Baby" is a catchphrase on motivational posters, often depicting a cat literally hanging onto something.
