Charon QC's Blawg Review # 193 --
Sinfoolly Delicious
Charon, the ferryman who transported souls across the River Styx to the realms of the dead in the myths of the Greeks, was appropriated by Dante to serve that same purpose in a more Catholic and more punitive version of the afterlife in the Inferno. Charon, in consequence, knows a little something about Sin. It is thus a right and proper thing that Blawg Review # 193 hosted by Charon QC has been built, and very well built, upon the theme of the Seven Deadly Sins.
It is a sterling effort. If weblogs had pages, it would be a riveting page-turner. It is so good, in fact, that notwithstanding my own three-year tenure hosting "April Fool's" editions of Blawg Review at that other weblog, I feel not the least bit huffy or territorial over Charon's appropriation -- an entirely appropriate appropriation on the occasion of Twelfth Night -- of the Feast of Fools in his lengthy and jocular introductory segment. Charon is to be commended for setting a Blawg Review standard to which future hosts can only dream of hoping to wish to aspire. Bravo! Now go read it.
