As I was about to begin my lunch hour today, I thought about that scene in the Airplane! movies where the two guys are speaking jive. Even though I’ve seen that movie hundreds of times, I still belly laugh on that scene.

Ever wondered what bloggers would sound like if they posted in “jive”?

I have.

Take The Blogfaddah, Instapundit for example. Here’s a post he wrote on March 1st, regarding a camera he recently purchased:

D70 UPDATE: I’m happy with my Nikon D70, but as I mentioned a while back, it’s had one annoying glitch, an occasional refusal to fire until the exposure mode is changed. Following the advice of the Nikon tech support people (fast!) I reset the camera, but that didn’t help, so I’ve returned it for warranty service. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Meanwhile, despite my earlier drooling over the newer and (much) more expensive D2X, Ken Rockwell offers some persuasive reasons why the D70 is actually better for many purposes.

But, what if Glenn wrote the above post in jive? It might read something like this:

D70 UPDATE: I’s happy with mah’ Nikon D70, but as ah’ menshuned some while back, it be had one annoyin’ glitch, some occasional refusal t’fire until de ‘sposho’ nuff mode be changed. Followin’ de advice uh de Nikon tech suppo’t sucka’s (fast Right On!) ah’ reset da dang camera, but dat didn’t help, so’s I’ve returned it fo’ warranty service. What it is, Mama! I’ll let ya’ know how dat goes.

Meanwhile, despite mah’ earlia’ droolin’ ova’ de newa’ and (much) mo’e ‘spensive D2X, Ken Rockwell, mama offers some puh’suasive reasons why de D70 be actually betta’ fo’ many purposes.

Here’s Jeff Jarvis, with a recent post about Vlogging:

Vloggers take over the world

Here are amazing instructions on how to build your own teleprompter.

I’m installing the latest version of Serious Magic this weekend (I used the earlier version for my now more-than two-year-old primitive vlogs.)

And here’s Jeff, all jiveified and such:

OK, one more. Over at Little Green Footballs, this was posted yesterday:

Kos Kidz Konference

Last September, Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas Zuniga of the moonbat haven Daily Kos encouraged his followers to infiltrate the Republican National Convention and disrupt the proceedings.

There should be more of this. I know of several groups of people who have “infiltrated” the hall.

And memo to the Secret Service — I don’t have any names, so don’t bother trying to contact me.

Now, like a gift falling from the heavens, the Kidz plan their Yearly Kos Convention.

And the Jive rendition?
