Elitist Bastards Shake Speares at Yon Codswallop: Act I, Scene IV

Forsooth, hie thee hence to Blake Stacey's novel duchy in the kingdom Science Blogs and nourish thine mind and eyeballs with Carnival of the Elitist Bastards, Act I scene iv. Therein do bastards most elitist shake speares at the slings and arrows of outrageous codswallop.

With no offense intended upon the puissant persons of previous CEBs, I must declare that Blake has cobbled together the best one yet. What, pray tell, could be more justly elitist than a physicist writing in Elizabethan style?

Carnival of the Elitist Bastards #3: PZ Myers Epic Fail Edition

Carnival of the Elitist Bastards #3 is live, hosted by minor science blogger, notorious cookie abuser and alleged biologist PZ Myers. Just as a broken clock tells the correct time twice each day, he had the good sense to include one of my articles amongst the codswallop, hogwash and ninnyblithering comprised by the rest of the morbidly sub-par attempt.

I should point out, however, that the article, Angel Appears to Florida Woman, contains a poison pill that I included precisely for the purpose of testing the acumen of CEB's host. This sentence appears in the opening paragraph of the piece:

It's an entry written for the occult community on LiveJournal by another Floridian writing under the user ID meb21.
Had Myers been paying close attention to editing the carnival rather than flogging his snickerdoodle yet again, he would have noticed that I failed to capitalize the proper noun naming the forum in which the tale of sorcery appears. It should be written "Occult Community on LiveJournal."

By thus destroying the credibility of the Carnival of the Elitist Bastards I have demonstrated that I am the most superiorest blogger of all! Kneel, maggots!
