It's a tasty thing

Recent posts on His blog have given me the idea, possibly already thought of by someone else (I guess at this point I officially get credit. Woo!), that there is now officially a Scalzi's Law:

Any conversation on the internet will eventually include bacon in some way. And then be forwarded immediately to John Scalzi.

Comments

Corollary:

[(Anonymous)]

It will be sent 4,000 times by folks who think "I bet a guy with a million hits a month hasn't seen this!"

the Big Question is .. will it be forwarded to John within "six degrees"??

[scalzi.livejournal.com]

I saw it less than ten minutes after it went up. AND blogged it.

Scalzi's Law

[mythusmage.livejournal.com]

Any conversation involving bacon and cats will be forwarded to John Scalzi within six comments of its start.

Let the battle of the memes commence!

He probably has a special mail filter for those keyword combos.

If not, he'd best get one quick.

Dude, he probably has google alerts set up. The man's like a bacon and cat singularity.

...

I got nothin, sorry.

[glinda-w.livejournal.com]

Of course it will. :)

[jdack.livejournal.com]

Clearly this needs a wiki entry.

YATTA!

I award you inka-shomei.

[jdack.livejournal.com]

I don't know what that is, but yay!

[slothman.livejournal.com]

It’s in Wikipedia, so it must be real (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inka).

You are making the world a better place just by having and using that icon.

[slothman.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The creators of the images sell T-shirts of them. (http://wearscience.com/)

[oneironaut.livejournal.com]

This just keeps getting more awesome.

Do you mind if I swipe these icons?

Re: Icon

[slothman.livejournal.com]

Fine by me as long as your userpic comments include the matching links to Wear Science (http://wearscience.com/) and Teach the Controversy (http://controversy.wearscience.com/).

[jdack.livejournal.com]

I must agree. Most excellent icon.

Apotheosized?

[davedorr9.livejournal.com]

I like your capitalization of 'His' ... was that intentional? The Tao of J--n Scalzi.

[jdack.livejournal.com]
