invoke the infield fly rule!

November 26, 2008 by krisis

Hmm.

So, in a bit of Philly surfing the other night I stopped by Philly Future, which featured a link to Fork You, a Philly food blog. And, in checking out the personal blog of its proprietor Scott McNulty – Blankbaby – I found myself thinking, Gee, that names sounds awfully familiar. I wonder how long he’s been around?

The answer to that question is two months longer than me. Which presents a conundrum: is Scott the longest-running blogger in Philadelphia?

Technically, yes – he made 11 posts prior to the launch of this fine establishment. However, said flagship posts were made from Yonkers, New York, not Philadelphia.

Now, let it be known that I am not one to hang on to my tagline via imagination or technicality – after all, that’s why I turned against Ms. Clinton earlier this year. At the same time, I don’t know that it’s fair for any carpetbagger with a long-standing blog to just roll into town and usurp me.

I’m really not sure what to make of this development. Have I been legitimately dethroned? Do we share the title, in different capacities? Have I found my nemesis?

I’m thinking I might have to drop by Fork You Live next Saturday to have a little duel showdown thumb war chat with this “Scott.”

    I’ve only been in Philly for 5 years or so… therefore I am not a threat to your title.

    I have been blogging for 9 years or so myself (though as you pointed out I started out in New York).

    Scott – Thank you for dropping by! Any competitiveness is almost entirely in jest – I’m alwayS thrilled to find any blogger with archives as deep as mine, no matter what their location.

    Fosters is fiancée’s favorite store in at least a mile radius, so perhaps we’ll meet you in person on the 6th!

    […] I first floated the assumption that I was the longest running blog in Philadelphia six years ago today, and I verified it last November (with a footnote). […]
