I did that post about having a stats race as yet another cheap ploy to entice new followers to my blog. Once again, I was too clever for my own good. My new followers only went up by about five people. But I did get over 600 hits. That’s my second best day ever.
I guess I will just have to settle for that.

Pouring My Art Out 
Some of your comments went to my spam box, must be the dark glasses people think you are a troll. 😉
You mean comments besides the one that was supposed to look like spam and got my blog shut down for four days???
You should just get a huge bottle of lotion.
What makes you think I don’t already have one???
Nothing. This one would be a spare.
I have one of those also.
Okay. That’s just great.
I have missed this, Ed. This silly banter… no one banters like you… banter up!!!
Pancake banter
Banterman!
The Dork Knight
The Don Knotts
Oh my. Excellent!
Is there no conversation you wont stick your hair into?
It was just too choice a rejoinder to go unpraised.
I do know other people. Some of them are quite clever.
And then there’s me, huh?
That isn’t what I meant.
Sniff 😦
aw
Again, you should be taking notes. Thoz fellas r yur brane trust.
I do trust their brains.
Obviouly, whatever they have isn’t catching.
ouch.
Do either of them read this blog? “Somebody stop me!”
The horse is dead… stop beating it.
But I’m having soooo much fun. Isn’t that why we come here?
Not the horse

Love that movie… I have the CD of the soundtrack.
But do you have a midget with a broom and a constichency.
Check.
Clever enough not to comment here it would seem. AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Whew, I have to catch my breath.
Now you are going to make them all angry.
Only at me. You shall emerge from the fray unscathed as usual.
Teflon underwear… get some…
Had some. The metal implements kept wearing the finish off.
Your implants must not be implanted very deeply.
Guess I should cut back on the body jewelry. It might speed things up with the TSA too.. I will miss the body searches, though. Don’t you dare go there. I didn’t.
I am not going anywhere.
Yes you did.
Past tense. Now I am past tence.
It’s H. She has a way of making one tense about their past.
You are going to start it all up agaisn, aren’t you.
Can H come out an play? I’ll be nice.
Drop-shipped by the case.
Ha!
Maybe the spammers heard you were in trouble and headed over to help – or maybe someone reading your blog fell asleep on the Refresh button. Either way, i’m rooting for the stats over the followers.
But stats are just followers that got away… sort of… it’s all good…
Or came back.
Oh yeah… I guess those are numbers that mean some of you actually stick around. I wonder why I always look at the dark side even when I think things are funny?
Maybe you should take the sunglasses off 🙂
You couldn’t handle it! No one could. My eyes are the burning beacons of my heart’s desire! They are the windows into my passionate soul! Also, they change color according to the light, and they have been called ‘dreamy’ by more than one smitten lass! They are molten, smoldering romance set in crystal! They gleam, they glint, they glisten, they impart the wisdom of the ages and they deny you nothing! They implore, they convey, they whisper “come hither.” They seethe, they surge, they are the oceans of the world, storm-tossed by pulling tides of love! My eyes are twin orbs of unplumbed depths, they recede into the infinity of chaos and longing! They are complete worlds, teeming with life, set within the vastness of space and time! To stare into my eyes is to come face to face with all that has ever formed your most fevered dreams of fulfillment! To see a tear fall from my eyes would unleash such a torrent of sorrow within you that there is nothing you would not do to bring the tears to an end! Glance not into the eyes behind the darkened glass, for this way lies madness… and the yearning… for that which can never be!
Holy crap… I think I need to post that…
Yes, if you think we can handle that.
What part of ‘shameless’ are you not getting exactly? I just posted it. But don’t worry… I turned it into a joke at the end.
I went back to his first post and systematically clicked through his blog throughout the night…I’d like to take some credit/blame.
Spam I am.
Spammer is as spammer does.
If I had a spammer… I’d spammer in the mornin’…
SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM AND SPAM!!
…eggs and spam
Pushing our luck, are we, gentlemen?
Oh… right… no more spam jokes…
I don’t know what you are complaining about!? I was over the moon when I got 100 views in a day…600? WOW! That is great, well done!
I feel like you have just become the blogging Guru in my secluded little blogging world! Not to mention all of the awesome weirdness you inflict on us readers!
🙂
Continue the quest for followers my friend, it is extremely entertaining to see what you will come up with next!
Thanks. I only live to make you smile!
How dare I say did you do that most righteous hit count, or that magic no two ways about it?
cheers!
You just never know what is going to tickle someone’s fancy.
I haven’t had my fancy tickled in two weeks. I may have to tickle it myself is something doesn’t change.
You are getting dangerously close to the edge again.
Working without a net.
Franky Valley never worked without Annette.
Just plain ouch.
They can’t all be winners.
So i’ve noticed.
Is your hairline receding, or are you just backing up?
I notice your hairline is conspicuously absent in your gravatar. Move along folks. Nothing to see here. 😉
Lookm at the hundreds of other pictures.
Like the one of you hiding in the sock monkey footies. Nice try. This is just a ploy to get be to link to the videos. No way that’s happening. So much waste; so little time.
My hair is there… it does not care.
“My hair is there… it does not care.”
Is it here? is it there? Where is this hair that does not care?
Is it brown? Is it black? Is it growing shaggy on his back?
Is it short? is it long? Did it long ago say so long?
Is it far? Is it near?. Will it ever reappear?
Is it curly? Is it straight? Doe he wear it on a date?
Is it fluffy? Is it flat? Does it look like a doormat?
Is it fine? is it course? Is it from an unknown source?
Is it his? is It not? Does he hope we all forgot?
It is no more. It covers the floor. it isn’t what it was before.
It went away. It’s gone to stay. Avert your gaze and look away.
I do not see it here. I do not see it there. I do not see it anywhere.
I love it when the muse speaks. Help me out here H, you poetic whizkid.
I dispair to care about hair… I can’t do it. I have road eyes. I am running on fumes and no sleep.
Wrap it up then, Bubba. Didn’t get to bed until 5AM myself and was up by 9AM.
gnarly
If you write it, they will come.
It is all just one big running gag… except for the fake spam part… and the getting shut down by wordpress for 4 days part…
I just meant that if you keep writing good posts, readers will find you without your having to ask them to do so in your posts. Good writing will always attract readers… 🙂
I try to mix in a little of that with the silliness and begging.
Beggars…really can’t be choosers. Just sayin’
But bloggers can be choosers…
is there any pleasing you?
Yes and no. Everything pleases me, but I am never altogether satisfied. Also, as I plainly said, I win either way, so it is all good… not great… but good. HA!!!!!
true…i’m telling you doing guest posts will help build your following, hosting guest posts as well!
I did one on Le Clown’s blog. I don’t get that many offers.
i’ll bet the seed said so would let you 😉 i would too if our themes weren’t slightly different! lol
I think I could do something on your blog. Sort of an outsiders perspective. It’s good to mix things up a little, right?
that would actually be awesome if you wanted to do an outsiders perspective!! i love the idea! shall i send you an invite??
I would be willing to give that a shot. I need some lead up time. I don’t want to just fly by the seat of my pants like I do here.
okay, you can let me know when you’re ready and i’ll send you an invitation!
I might be ready by Monday. Let me start writing something.
ok i’ll allow you to write lol
Thank you.
you’re welcome. 🙂
I am, aren’t I?
you are
mmmmmm
mmmmmmm??
You heard me… or are you just mocking me???
no mocking not
Good… because that would be a mistake…
for sure!
You gave in too easily… making me nervous… what are you up to?
making your nervous…
i sent you an email
I am… in a place where things are weird… I will try to check it out.
ha hang in there
I always do…

Oh, am I supposed to be making up my own rules???
