Troubadoings is a website that tries to prove the illogic of the age-old adage that: If websites didn’t already exist, it would be necessary to invent them. Certainly it became necessary to invent this one because, well, nothing quite like it has ever existed.

Really what it is, is: At least a bazillion words concocted in some sort of arcane order ever since the twelfth century, when the whole concept of “troubadours” itself was invented; and, yes, when the author of this verbiage windfall was born: right around the Year of Our Lord 1150. He picked up and began plucking his lute shortly thereafter, and has been your friendly neighborly mid-evil song-and-dance man ever since.

Over eight hundred years’ worth of the Mother Tongue is preserved here. Please tread lightly. Some of these pieces on the higher shelves are quite fragile, and their egos may break… and then you’ll be in trouble.

You’ll have to sweep up the pieces off the floor, and there is no broom.

Real Men/Women of Genius

This Series of Troubadoings Explained

This totally (and respectfully imitated) series of fun-and-frolic parodies was begun on Monday, March 30, 2009, at 3:10 AM CST, with the first one being posted to a somewhat mysterious listserv (The Barkley List) and then the others that followed have spilled over to other listservs and have also been sent to others’ email accounts ever since. (And some even allowed ’em to stay!) The series was done with implied homage paid to those world-famous Bud Light radio commercials, in which that rather heavy male voice intones the “Real Men of Genius” script, while in the background some rather percussive rock music plays–with periodic breakout vocals by this plaintive, wailing “lead singer” of that supposed background band.

Each original commercial rather neatly fit into a 60-second on-air time slot, but no such parameters can be established for this series here. This thing is just, well, goofy! AND it more or less just giggles right along with that entirely suspect subculture of the running world known as ultrarunning–which is pretty goofy all by itself!

And although it is not apparently affiliated with Bud Light (except for giving it free advertising) or Anheuser-Busch, this particular website here…

https://thefuntimesguide.com/bud_light_real/

…seems to have about the most complete collection (111) of these radio ads so far discovered. For sure, you’re now encouraged to dial-up, log-on, scroll-down, and thoroughly-enjoy the originals. And you might also like to visit the website of Anheuser-Busch itself at:

http://www.anheuser-busch.com/

And then guzzle a Bud Light as you read through the following:

Ultra Relationship News

[Editor’s Note: This series got started with this posting No. 1 to the following three “chatrooms” or “listservs”:  Ultra List <ULTRA@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU>, Barkley List <barkleymarathons@googlegroups.com>, and the Vol-State Ultra List <volstateultra@googlegroups.com>.  It began with this first post appearing on April 14, 2017, and continued more or less weekly–until, of course, it no longer could.  Its speaking freedoms weren’t feeling very free under the klieg-light glare of censorship.]

So. I’ve decided.

We need a little more levity in this here entirely-too-somber and hyped-up-on-way-too-much-running chatroom. Especially on Fridays. Remember “Bad Joke Fridays”?
Yeah. This is like that. Kinda. So please either delete this now, or bear with.
I’m envisioning a whole new series.
