Cueball begins to quote the Lion King, where King Fufasa tells prince Simba that the 'great Kings of the past are up there'. Later in the film, once (spoiler alert) King Mufasa is dead, he appears in the clouds calling to his son. Here Cueball is presenting Cory as the great master blogger {{w|Cory Doctorow|Cory Efram Doctorow}}, his name is the largest one at the {{w|Tag cloud}}. <br /> <br /> In the title text, [[Randall]] mentions that the word {{w|blog}} is a silly word, despite becoming common in usage. <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :Cueball: Just look at those stars.<br /> :Cueball: My father once told me that the great bloggers of the past are up there, watching over us.<br /> :Cueball: High above the blogosphere, a gap opens in the tag clouds. Cory Doctorow's voice booms forth...<br /> :Megan: You need to get out either more or less.
