Shalampax Speaks

Sage Mike, one of those infinitely spiritual folks over at the Church of Infinitiaty, has taken up blogging. As his adopted name implies, Sage Mike is one of the sages of Infinitiaty. His blog, which is blandly called Sage Mike Prattles, answers questions from members of the Church of Infinitiaty and discusses all things Infinitian.

(If you’re looking for the blog on the Church of Infinitiaty’s Web site you’ll find it under the “Outreach” drop-down menu in the menu bar at the top of the Web site.)

I suppose it was inevitable that one of the sages would start blogging. As all ardent bloggers know, blogging is a great excuse for avoiding doing anything useful. In the case of the sages of Infinitiaty, usefulness is measured by how fully they serve every need and whim of the Chief Sage Officer (CSO) and how well they fake wisdom in front of the general public, in that order and mostly the former.

Needless to say, finding excuses to avoid doing anything useful is a primary goal of all of the sages.

By the way, sages are not paid wages or salaries, but they do get reasonable perks.

Why, you may ask, don’t the sages just up and quit? The answer to that is easy. They are all worthless packages of molecules with few, if any, employable skills. The only jobs they could possibly get are to work as sages or civil servants. Being a sage is marginally better.

Anyway, please head over and read Sage Mike’s blog. It’s not very good, but if his blog doesn’t get enough traffic the CSO will cancel it and force Sage Mike to go back to licking the soles of the CSO’s shoes clean. He’s not a bad person so visiting his blog and helping him out would be a righteous thing to do.
