An Ode to Archie Comics

I am T and I have been a late-comer to the blogging revolution. So I am here to ask for repentance for the grave sin that I have committed. You may ask why now... Well lately my life has reached a certain plateau and I have had nothing much to do. And so when one of my favourite weeklies mentioned an interesting blog, I decided to check it out and lo behold, i became a pseudo blogaholic. So I thought it was time for me to contribute in my bit way. I was, though, happily unaware of the perils of the aforementioned decision. So I knew what I had to say and how I had to do that but what was I going to call it? Days of meditation and hours of ideation resulted in a brainwave that I cannot even take full credit for. Remember Archie's....Yup old Riverdale High with Archie, Betty, Veronica and the others..Well I remember a strip where Archie gets free passes to a concert by A funny named group. The explanation of the name followed and I quote, "Since all the other bands had taken the funny names, they came up with this." And therefore the name of my blogging exercise, (which will be hopefully widely read and result in accolades for me) is an ode to my favourite comic ever.
