Blatant Egotistical Self-Promotion
Those of you with memories of '60s television shows might appreciate a comment I posted to The Sideshow. Avedon Carol appreciated it; she promoted it to her front page, and even linked to it when she started an open thread on Eschaton.
The backstory is that Matt Yglesias is both a prominent liberal blogger and a junior member of the community of opinion-shapers called "the Villagers" by Atrios, Digby, and others. Atrios and Digby were probably inspired by M. Night Shyamalan, but my twisted brain went in another direction.

Here are the rules you broke: 1) it has to be boring; 2) it has to be initiated by the blatant egotistical person. Reprinting something funny that you wrote that other people are enjoying is sheep-like followership, not BESP.
