Hey, so it is now public information that the recipient of yesterday's "Crap Email From A Dude" was Julia Allison. Do you know/care who that is? Complain about it after the jump by clicking on the tag, where we offer the weary defense of her that is too dumb/insidery/"meta" to write on our actual homepage, written in Pirate Speak in honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, to give you an idea of how mature we feel for placing ourselves at the dead-center of this important highbrow media insider saga.

Okay, so guess what ye mateys? T' bloggers, we be all knowin one another! Choire, Coen, Lindsayism, Spiers, Emily, Wonkette Ken, Fleshbot Dash, Valleywag Owen and Nick, Jalopnik Ray Wert, Consumerist Ben, Idolator Maura... OH YES IT DO GO ON. Lockhart Steele be not a made-up name from some WASP erotica but a highly endearin' ex-captain, Wonkette Alex Pareene be me idol; I went t' college with Doree; Alex Balk be me enabler; it's like chopped incest suey over here and it's a constant struggle t' keep that from showin' up too much on t' blog but you know we have a post count and occasionally it dribbles the fuck out. Anyway so aye, we all know Julia Allison and t' big secret be that, close-up, she's a hard person t' hate, mostly because t' thin' you hate about her, which I gather t' be narcissism, careerism, self-promotionalism, outfits and t' fact that she seems to exemplify that virulent type of twentysomething female that actually really does feel it a legitimate life/career strategy to basically become Carrie Bradshaw — well there are way worse, and less honest, specimens of that, everywhere you go in this here island. Ahoy!
