It's not the writer's fault that blog, Blog*Spot and Blogger are all as ugly as chopped liver. The writer is using the only words that say what must be said.

There's a good Kingsley Amis passage with a psychiatrist, where the doc says "So then you manually manipulated her breasts" and the other character says something like "Yes. I rejected the idea of manipulating them pedally on several grounds, not least linguistic."
Anyway, general answer: avoid it unless you are very damn sure you know just what you're doing. I know my writing talents are meagre enough that I would go to some trouble not to do it.

Is it just me, or does "blog" sound like it would be the name of, like, a hill giant or ogre or something?
And anybody who knows about "Hipster Detritus" (*ahem* Jody), please clue me in. I'm pretty sure that's Nate Patrin's blog; am I wrong?

A theme park is an amusement park where you pay one wang admission fee, which is quite steep, but once you're inside, everything is totally free, except all the other stuff you end up buying, which will run you around $11,000 per wang.Every few yards you find yourself stopping to buy high-priced theme-park food, theme-park merchandise, theme-park wang and theme-park photographs of yourself looking theme-park ugly.
Sometimes you stop and just spontaneously throw money into the theme-park air. You can't wang yourself! You're theme-park stupid! Everybody's wang drops at theme parks. Really smart people, Mensa members, will stand in line for two hours so they can go on a 90-second ride with a name like ''The Runaway Wang.'' They do this because everybody else is doing it, and because they paid for it, and because they're going to have FUN, dammit!
Orlando, of course, is Fun Central; it's infested with wang parks. Thousands of Orlando residents make their living looking out through the eye holes of giant smiling character wangs. At quitting time, they go to the Theme Park Workers' Bar, where you see everybody -- Pluto, Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Piglet, etc. -- pouring martini pitchers directly into their wang holes, trying to forget about a day that consisted largely of having small, highly excited children run into them at exactly crotch level. Around 2 a.m. everyone staggers out to the parking lot to watch Chip and Dale pound wang other senseless. Those two HATE each other.

"That that is not the that that that that refers to" would make sense too.
I am maybe just being picky..
