OK. So here's my idea for what would be a great blog. (By reading further you're agreeing not to steal this idea).
- I find a person to stalk.
- I find about 200 people that are willing to take pictures and blog about this person. (You guys. If you agree to relocate to Chester County, PA).
- We write about about and take photos of everything this sad sack does.
So let's say his name is Fred Sweeny. Some of the bloggers live near him, others drive the same route to work as him, others work with him. But someone in every area of this life is stalking him.
Then what happens is people write every detail about him. Almost like the scrutiny that a celebrity gets.
"So, Fred usually gets the farmer's breakfast at the DK Diner. For some reason he only got pancakes today. Is her worried about his weight?"
"Fred usually chooses stall two at work but today he went for stall three. And according to an insider - who pretended to leave the bathroom after washing his hands - it looks like Mr Sweeny likes to sing while he's taking a dump. But sing, 'It's Raining Men?' - Whatever."
"Driving behind Fred today on Boot Road near Phoenixville Pike one must wonder, can he afford tissues? I guess not, given the display I saw. Puul-ease!"
Once I get 199 people to agree to this, I'm totally considering doing this. Yeah. I am.
Hmm I think they already made a movie like that (The Truman Show)? I'm just sayin...
ReplyDeleteIs this your way of telling us you've discovered our "That Blue Yak" stalker tell-all blog, where the news is all-Zibbs, all-the-time?
ReplyDeleteAdriana - I knew people were going to think it was too close to the Truman Show. Once you move to Chester County and pay your non-refundable deposit fo being involved I'll explain to you how it is totally different.
ReplyDeleteDon't wait. There are only 199 spots left.
HAHAHAAHAHA! Zibsy, you are a blogger genius.
ReplyDeleteLegal Mist - Bwhahahahhaha. Good One!
ReplyDelete(looks around then closes blinds and hides under desk. Begins to shiver).
You obviously haven't located the web cams we all have placed around your fortress of solitude.
ReplyDeleteAfter a similar situation to this one, I am legally prohibited to participate in such activities.
ReplyDeleteI told Prince that I was just a really big fan and I was really really sorry, but that little dude didn't understand AT ALL. Court order- my ass.
I have purchased my non-refundable one way ticket to Chester County International Airport.
ReplyDeleteSo totally not Truman Show. This is not big business network stuff. Our multi-million dollar investment was taken care of by the Google guys,. This will be low-budget, stealth paparazzi action!!!
Legal troubles> Please, that's for other people to worry about.
"It's Raining Men"? Sorry Zibbs, I'm out!

Move to Chester County...nah I think I could handle the commute as it's less than an hour...hmmm maybe I will be the "out of town" spy/corresponder..still think it sounds very Trumanish
ReplyDeleteLOL--sounds interesting and a wee bit creepy...
ReplyDeleteI'd totally read that blog.
ReplyDeleteI am so totally in
ReplyDeleteGenius. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I talk a friend of mine who lives in West Chester to do this for me as my proxy so that I don't have to move? Would that be acceptable?
ReplyDeleteThis is like my worst fear! (Well, this and revolving doors.) I'm glad I don't live in West Chester so you can't pick me as your stalkee.
ReplyDeleteTavolini - Creepy only if it's not happening to you. And welcome to my blog.
ReplyDeleteMJenks - Yes. But who is this person that you know that lives in West Chester? Do they have a blog?
I go away all this time, come back and you're still weird!
ReplyDeleteIs there a nail salon in Chester County??? Or I'm not going!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!!!!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
- Jennifer
I do this kind of stuff in my spare time. I just don't write about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm saving that for prison.
Son of Thomas - did you expect me to be disussing books?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. I did that a few posts ago. And speaking of posts, when are you going to write a new one?
I supposed Britney Spears is living this kind of life..with paparazzi attached every hour..(the Truman Show was already taken..)..
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant idea Dr Z!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can i get in on it!!???
After i was stalked on my blog i am up for anything!!!!
Love
Stalker
I can't help you since I'm already involved in the L.A. chapter. We're stalking my cousin's boyfriend who is commonly known as B.U.D. (Butt Ugly Dude). Anyone who sees him is required to call the rest of the family and report what a tool he is.
ReplyDeleteI am totally with Tova here!! I would read the blog (as long as it was based on someone other than me) but I would *die* if I found out this was being done to me!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit there is a Chester County near here so at first I freaked out a little, then I read the state part and sighed with relief. Lol.
Visiting from Tova and KS to PA's pages,

I'm in! Can you help me find a place to crash? They have to take cats, 'cause I don't travel without Oliver. lol
ReplyDeleteTHAT, my friend, is a fabulous idea. :-)
ReplyDeletePearl
if i could just have a house like Sarah Palin's, maybe i could see all the way over to PA and jot notes. i am going to look into it
ReplyDeleteLet's just say that once I stopped drooling over the photo of pancakes, I read your post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Kind of like a Truman show experience, but with blogging.
Brilliant.
Hilarious.
Fred's Weenie? What? Oh, ummmm, never mind.
ReplyDeleteDamn my unfortunate geographic predicament! I'd love to be a part of this.
ReplyDeleteJJ in LA - Good Von.
ReplyDeleteSome Guy - I'm ordering you to be a part of this.
Me likey. Who should we violate? :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that is an awesome idea, honestly. But I am no where near Penn. :(
ReplyDeleteLet me know which cell block your in, I will write often.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your adventure.
No worries about stealing this idea. Stalking is not my mug of beer.
peace

Oh my god, I already feel sorry for Fred. Please let the man pick his nose while driving to work or suffer from food poisoning in a public restaurant without sound bytes and internet pics... please?? We all deserve a little of that, don't we? (Unless it's my husband's ex - I'd be all over that shit!)
ReplyDeleteI like the cut of your jib, Zibbs. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteyou're killin me. now I want pancakes
ReplyDeleteBrilliant and diabolical, I'm considering moving.
