One of the bloggers I follow is Mr Shiny. His blog is called Shiny’s Takeout and it’s funny. He’s a clever one and he’s got some great blog posts he’s published for the world to see.
So clever is he that he’s gone and done an entire week of blog posts that are remakes of other bloggers. He’s calling it:
So far, he’s done Kapgar (Kevin), Hellohahanarf (Becky), All of the Becky’s and Rebecca, Down With Pants and yours truly.
If you’ve not gone over to his blog, go check out all of the fun. You might have to do a double take on what blog you are really reading.
Original Blogs
For comparison, here’s the links to the original blogs Shiny had plagiarized so far:
READING AT A 78TH GRADE LEVEL (Becky)
How’s that for a slew of shout-outs.
UPDATE
Since the publication of this post, Shiny has plagiarized several more blogs.
Did I leave any other shout outs off the list above? Shiny did a lot of plagiarizing.

i love that you wrote a whole post without writing a post at all. hehe
hello haha narf – Yeah, I thought about that as I was writing it up. BTW, the link to your blog should now say Midnight Cliff, with the link to it.
I consider this one of the coolest things that has happened to me on the Web. Total honor to be plagiarized.
kapgar – I feel exactly the same. It’s an honor to have had something I created be recreated, especially so my Shiny.
A key thing I’m doing in catching up with all this stuff I’ve missed in not having the internet at my house for a while there, is SUBSCRIBING to MR SHINY, and catching up with his posts. He’s one of those ones I keep meaning to go read and then I forget cause I’m so distracted and scattery. NO MORE. Jeepers.
catherine – reading all of the Shiny PW09 posts from start to finish tells a very cool story. The final one shows just what a smart guy Mr Shiny is. I was literally thinking “brilliant” to myself as I was reading and watching that entire post.
