I want to break the all-time record for the most comments on a WordPress blog post.
*** PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST ***
Okay, some of you will see this as a shallow attempt on my part to bump up my stats.
And I’m not saying you are wrong.
But here’s the thing… oh, thing, I missed you, where have you been?
I have always said that I have the best commenters on WordPress. I have two posts that have over 1,000 comments on them… True, half of those are my return answers to comments, because I always answer my comments, but still… And I will even go so far as to admit that my comment sections… OUR comment sections… are sometimes the funniest part of my posts. Are you happy now?
But this all has me wondering what the record for number of comments on one post actually is. I want to see if we can break it. Just for the fun of it. We will all be part of a social media experiment. We will all go down in the history books as record breakers. We can amaze and astound the WordPress overlords and maybe have them take notice of us.
And it will be fun.
Oh, and I am a little disappointed that only one person even commented on that cute picture of me as a baby in the last post I did, so here is your chance to make it up to me…
Pouring My Art Out 
29,093… Almost there, guys.
You are a natural born minion. Fastest promotion in our history
Thank you for your kind words.
Hey, you earned it
Wait, how is it 29093 when you commented, and 29047 now???
depends where you look at it from
Because…I don’t know.
I think we broke WordPress.
I have broken it at least twice… I also broke Twitter when I was being interviewed about my books.
Wow. Someone’s popular….
some people like what I do… whatever it is
We are having a reunion party!!!
Never let it be said I’m not a good sport. But no way am I going to scroll all the way through these comments, so here I stop and here I … comment. Even though I have nothing to say.
There is no wrong way to do this… nor a right way either… thanks you.
It seems like you have something to say.
a thing is only as important as the effort you will go through to do it
Oh wow, almost 29000 comments…
we are going for broke
How does Moses make his tea?
Hebrews it.
oh wow… good one… close to the edge of politically incorrect… maybe
Perhaps. Apologies, if it was.
A man walks into the butchers and asks the butcher, “Can you pass me that meat from the top shelf?” and the butcher says, “No, sorry, the steaks/stakes are too high.”
HA!… don’t get me started.
Or – he parts the water and puts the tea bag in the middle.
Or that.
I knew you would like it here
I do. I really do.
yay
oh man… you kill me
oh, sorry
s’alright

28,558. not bad. Hey did you know there is a shrimp that punches it’s prey. Like smash punches it? I thought my kid made it up but no, apparently it’s real. Mantis shrimp. they are really pretty colors and can hit with the force of a .22 being fired outta a rifle. thats some crazy stuff there eh??
Hey did you know there is a shrimp that punches it’s prey? ? not .
one kind is called the firecracker shrimp, I think
I watch the nature channel
I heard about it. Also I hear that it’s able to see more colors than any other animal on earth, and there is even a comic about it: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
who woulda thunk it
I thought I had commented on here before but perhaps I was dreaming! This is great! 🙂
I sometimes scroll trough random pages of the old comments… some weird stuff has happened here… I might make it into a book someday
Great idea!
maybe
Good Morning! You have really great dreams!
I should be the only one who could dream this up…
We are having a reunion party!!!
STELLLAAAAAA! don’t know why, but I had to do that.
good job
thank you. I find that for most harmless urges it is best to release.
I do that too…
keeps you from hurting yourself…
usually
10. “To be! he-he-he-he! Or not to be, heh-heh-heh! That is the question! Or not the question, heh-heh-heh-heh.
Naturally, I have to stop at 10. But there are 91 more options still open for everyone else.
Thanks for not using them all up.
A good minion always leaves some work for other minions.
I will pass that on to Trent… job security
I think he’s too busy with his day job nowadays.
well that sucks.
I’m sure he’d be happier here.
good point… and good ‘damning with faint praise’
la la la deee la la la! some dust over here.. some dust over there…. Oh hi X!
Oh hello! Look, you missed a spot!
what??!! POOOOOOOFFFFFF! more dust! Just like magic! 😀
Like Pigpen
Dust has magical properties. It’s the only thing that can appear in a closed room.
and there is two kinds… light dust that sticks to dark things, and dark dust that sticks to light things
You should tweet that
I think I will
I went on a tweeting rampage! Also tweeted George Takei, James May, and Jeremy Clarkson
Just be careful that you don’t get kicked out of Twitter for spamming
oh crap
oooh… dark dust… good band name
or Dark Magic Dust?
oh yeah
She will get to it… she is very thorough
She did. Your blog looks especially shiny this morning.
she is using the shiny dust? uh oh
or the blog polish.
I like to sparkle
Are you a vampire?
not usually
You know, “not usually a vampire” is a vampire.
not usually
what?? Shine?? Has Trent been here?? More dust!! poooohhhh!
Back to work, slacker
There’s 28,000 people here, at least
Just in Julie’s head… ha!
And if we also start counting your crack squirrels…
never do that
Why, they don’t like to be counted?
it is the standing up part they don’t like
🙂 The shiney dust! yes! that’s it!
it’s magic
Yes, that shiny dust really helps to see all those missed spots.
yeah it does… the irony is that it is easier to clean up, but you don’t want to
True, and now I want some of that dust
me too
you are the dust fairy
Well! good morning sir! I hope you find the dust sufficient! *bows out backward*
achoo
God Bless You!
thank you, your holiness
Wow… like the Joker doing Shakespeare…
I was going for Beavis and Butthead
You got cut off
HA! I got the dirty old man from the old Laugh In series! What is wrong with you guys?
I remember that show… and nothing… nothing at all…
of course we do! sheesh!
watch your language
stop bein so bossy!
you tell her
I think we’re just in different age groups.
who?? different age groups?? what?? wait a minute! You mean you are younger than us?? whaaa? How could you be? Young people are very rarely as cleaver as you X!
word
I’m only relatively young. I’m just young enough to have never heard of this Laugh In show.
groundbreaking stuff
I may have to google it then
indeed
And IQ ranges… HA!
I’m not sure if you’re trying to compliment me or insult me… 🙂
I am just that subtle
I’ll assume the best then
you might as well
all that “he-he-he”-ing and “heh-heh-heh”-ing is kinda creeping me out a little bit.
that seems to have been the idea
oh. I thought he was just having fun. too much fun. and it was me that was making it creepy. See? why blame someone else when I can take it!
You have a point
I noticed that, I think I may be transforming into a unicorn…
Is that a horn on your head or are you just happy to see me?
well, possibly both…
HA! and Yay
I’m just hoping it isn’t a toomah!
a toomah-to
ew. that either.
ha
Sorry, I just didn’t know how else to act the fool. There wasn’t anything in my acting manual about it.
first, put on the tights, the funny hat, and the pointy shoes…
Yes, but how do I do that in the comments?
It is all in the attitude
That’s what I was trying to do
well then good job
9. …but i digress.
yes… you do… but you do it so well.
Thank you. But I digress again.
Try regressing
regressing is depressing.
and distressing but I’m just guessing
also stressing, but that I’m addressing
It is a blessing to be destressing but a little distressing and requires caressing without undressing I am confessing but with your head I am messing or so I’m expressing or so I am guessing
I am assessing your confessing and professing I’m obsessing over words that rhyme with “stressing”.
Once again, I am digressing.
that pretty much says it all
There are still a few words that rhyme with “stressing”. For some reasons, most of them are some kind of dressing.
the point you are pressing
I meant to include this: http://www.rhymezone.com/r/rhyme.cgi?&typeofrhyme=perfect&loc=moreideas&Word=stressing
but hey, +1 comment
that is cheating… I did it all in my head…
Well, I did it in my head and in Google. No one said it’s illegal to use Google.
no… smoking isn’t illegal either… doesn’t mean it’s a good idea
At least I wasn’t smoking while using Google.
touché
8. Well, I don’t know, I’ve been leaving the comments all over this post, and no one’s answering, so I think maybe people are busy with other things, like watching the World cup, and how about that Russia-Korea game, this evening, huh, crazy! It’s like these goalkeepers can’t play, and Russia’s probably gonna retaliate and invade Korea, like they did with Ukraine, and we’re not gonna do anything, because everyone is paying attention to Iraq, cause there’s a war going on over there, and the gas prices are bound to come up, and it’s been expensive as it is, and you know i have a long drive to work, but at least the weather’s finally nice and we even planted some lilies in the garden…
I can’t believe you don’t have them spellbound by this point.
Who, the people I’m flirting with?
Or anybody
you flirted?? whaaaaa??
he gave it a shot…
I found it. no offense, kinda lame.. rrreally needs to work on his game….. unless he doesn’t want to.
He was playing hard to get and hard to give… that ain’t easy
I was trying to, I guess I wasn’t good at it.
you just need more practice! Sooo, what’s your sign? Why don’t you come up and see me sometime big boy! rarrah!
that was… tepid…
what?? Those are some classic pick up lines! (tracing my fingertips around your chest and blowing ever so gently in your ear)
that works without the lines
I have to ask my wife first 🙂
She is in charge of remembering what his sign is…
that, too.
among other things
This is the place to practice
It is.
yup
ok, I see where the problem is. It is Very Difficult to attempt to flirt with 28,000 people at the same time. You need to lower your sights just a tad. Try maybe, oh, I don’t know, one, perhaps two people. Then you can slowly work your way up to 28,000.
No… you have two choices… you can seduce yourself while we all watch, or you can do it to everybody…
Isn’t how everyone flirts on the online dating sites? Flirt with 28,000 people at once and hope you get 28 dates?
like junk mailing
exactly – wait for them to respond, then screw them
HA!!!!!
My whole sidebar is gone… vanished
I still see it, did you get it back?
I did
I just bought a spider wart plant. I think that’s what it’s called. pretty little purple flowers. and our sunflowers are about 8 or 10″ tall now. I also have to plant the tomatoes. Perhaps later today…..
Isn’t this a little late to plant tomatoes?
I don’t think so, I guess normally it would be but it took a while for us to shake that polar vortex… At least I can try. Maybe I will not have tomatoes till September, but darnnit, I will! Maybe I will have tomatoes earlier, if someone else has them planted in their yard…(evil smile ala the grinch)
mmmm… I like salmon ala grinch
I have tomatoes in my yard. Would you like one? Follow me to the nondescript windowless blog 🙂
What would life be without home grown tomatoes? There’s only 2 things that money can’t buy, that’s true love and home grown tomatoes! Come on! sing along!
tomatoes are like apples with all the flavor sucked out, after they have gone all bad a and squishy
Tomatoes are delicious! Especially home grown tomatoes. I can’t really figure out why they taste so much better, but they do.
it is a mystery
And homegrown peppers, homegrown strawberries, or anything homegrown, really.
I grew my kids at home
yet another thing money can’t buy (or two, in your case)
you would need a lot of money to buy them
Wait, I was talking about your kids – what do you mean you need a lot of money to buy them????? 🙂
That is what I am talking about… they aren’t going cheap.
Right behind ya! 😛
hey now… you know better than that
I did feel someone following me for a bit…
creepy
wow… seduction… and possible abduction… using healthy food as the lure… we are breaking new ground again…
HA!! Darn we’re good!
we need to be
Yes, seduction + abduction. I see you used deduction.
and subduction…
and production, and induction, and introduction, and I’m not using google to look up these words
Turns out there is a rhyming website…
There are hundreds of them
that doesn’t make it right
tomatoes are already growing, the sunflowers we started from seed.
uh… most plants do
grrrrrr! I got the tomatoes in pots, already growing. I bought a packet with SUNFLOWER SEEDS IN IT! hrumph.
be concise…
We tried growing tomatoes from seeds, but the biggest they got was maybe only 8-10 inches tall. And those were planted 3 months ago. So we had to buy more as plants.
I had a tomato plant come back one year, musta missed a tomato before the winter and it grew a new plant the next year! It was magical!
they can do that???
Exactly why I thought it magical!
well, stuff does grow…
My guess is that we missed a tomato, and it sat around all winter and by spring it had gotten icky enough to soak back into the ground where the seeds did their thing again.
nature is nasty
We saw the same with dill. But really, that’s kind of how it’s supposed to happen – plants are supposed to grow without needing any human help
that’s what I said
That’s what he said? 🙂
yup
that is pretty tall for a tomato… ha!
The tale of Jack and the tomato stalk.
go stalk a tomato
you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish.
I can if I pull the tail hard enough
oh… you meant the whole plant, didn’t you?
Yes. An 8-10 inch tomato fruit is just too unpractical
There is an alien in my book that looks like a big tomato… wears a trucker cap perched on top.
is he 8 to 10 inches tall?
more like 8 or 10 feet
depends where you are
hey wait! can you grow tomatoes in your yard year round? Does one plant just keep living? or do they die out after a season??
We can plant anything at anytime here… and I don’t know
oooo year round tomatoes from the garden?? sigh! Heaven!
San Diego does have a good climate fro growing things
In the garden.
That’s a good place….
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s really only like a 20 yard long strip of land
strip it… strip it good
When tomatoes come along, you must strip it.
oh yeah
then it depends where your garden is… and if you say behind the house, I am putting you in time out
hahahaha! on the SIDE of the house…
ssshhhhhhhhh
You said it, not I 🙂
I’m in MA
well played
Good name for a plant… or a band
7. ugh, that inner boo-boo was nasty. I’m going to need a lot of water to clean myself up. Is there any of that tap water left?
yes… 28,472 bottles…
not all of those 28472 were nasty boo-boos
oh my
take one down, pass it around 28,471 bottles of tap water….
HA!
6. Hey, inner child, do you want to play? Here is an inner toy…. Uh-oh, you made an inner booboo.. let me change your inner diaper first…
Try picking a slightly older inner child…
There’s just this one. I don’t have an inner kindergarten, you know.
But you should have one for each year.
Really? I thought it’s like the Highlander and there could be only one.
Nope… they are like love… your body can hold a lot
Ah, so that explains my weight.
not really
Hmm, I was hoping for an explanation that doesn’t require exercise or dieting.
crack?
I think that counts as a diet, is it not?
no
Ok, I guess I should stop, then
no
its cause you know so much! I get enough exercise jumping to conclusions and flying off the handle
That is an awesome quote
oh. and 12 oz curls… but you gotta be careful cause those can lead to the brown bottle flu!
???
(beer and hangovers…)
…………..
I’d think that with beer and hangovers, there can never be just one
true dat
5. Hello, people… Do you come here often? Can I buy you a drink? Wait, how many of you are here? 28,000??? Umm, I assume tap water ok for everyone?
I want a tropical drink with an umbrella and a slice of pineapple on the rim.
Tropical tap water ok?
If it has the accouterments
like tropical bacteria?
pineapple and an umbrella
How about i give that to you, if you tell other 27,999 people that I got you tap water?
That works… I lie to them all the time anyway…
That’s one of the items on your 101 list…
oh… I didn’t memorize it
then you can add “memorize and repost the list” as #102
I don’t memorize well
#103: learn how to memorize
I am more of an ‘in the moment’ guy… sometimes not even that
I’d like to be an in-the-moment guy too, but there’s just isn’t enough time.
there you go being deep again
I like to go deep, until I hit the rock bottom
deep into center field
But center field is only surface deep
there is always something below a surface… that is why it is called a surface…
Ooooohhhhh really?? You lie to us?? AND TELL ME TO SIMMER DOWN WHEN I GET EXCITED?? What? This could cause a minion uprising!
I don’t care… I making new ones in those big vats in the basement
where did you find 28,000 people?? Are you counting the dust bunnies?? If I were to guess, off of the top of my head, I would put my money on less than 100 people hereabouts… Yep, that’d be my guess.
If you include people who just did one comment, there might be 2 or 3 hundred…
really?? huh. I didn’t think the count would be so high. Maybe it is just because I have grown to know and love a handful of em…..
I get lots of one-time visitors… when I do these weird posts about the comment post…
how does one do that? I can’t seem to leave the playground!
People want to be a small part of history, not stick around for that actual work of making history
really. now we are back to ‘fair’. As in “that’s not fair”
I met a maiden fair once
yeah? and then you married her?
oh my
no, that’s lions and tigers and bears
Pro football teams?
28,000 comments = 28,000 people, right?
I mean, every second we become are a slightly different person – a second older, a comment wiser version of ourselves.
don’t get too deep here… it intimidates the new people.
I thought there are no restrictions on how deep I can go here, as long as comments keep coming.
sort of, I mean, this isn’t the kiddie wading pool, but we aren’t in open ocean either
So no diving, running, or beverages in glass containers, either?
no peeing
Oh, sorry.
yup
ummmmmmmm no. Me? one person, many many comments. Ok, sometimes I appear to be 2 or maybe even 3 people, but nope, really only one.
oh come on… you are barely even one person… HA!!!
Well, I appear to be one person…
not to me
Ah, so you can see that…
I see all, I know all
Right, you’re the Supreme Leader
I knew that
How many persons am I holding up?
holding people up is a crime
Oh, sorry.
I once saw two clothespins hold up a pillow case.
“I mean, every second we become are a slightly different person – a second older, a comment wiser version of ourselves.”
waxing philosophical. Still only one person.
I am one person… and 48 crack squirrels…
List of X the Philosopher is not the same as List of X the Troll
or the exotic dancer, or the debutant, or the gardener
or the exotic gardener
oh yeah
4. poop!…. mmmm, misbehaving isn’t nearly as fun once the inner demons have been released…
HA!!!!!
If you see my inner demons, tell them to go home. My inner child wants to play.
That is so irresponsible.
to inner demons or to inner child?
inner children eat inner demons for breakfast
that can’t be healthy. Although demons do have plenty of proteins, and from their pictures, they don’t have a lot of fat on them.
figure of speech, but demons are no match for the pure, unadulterated love and joy of a child of any kind
more poop?? didn’t you just do diaper duty?? right before to boo boo??
HA!
I did those comments in the reverse order. Actually, I did them in the correct order, 1 to 10, but Art’s comment page posts them backwards.
I don’t want people to think this makes too much sense
That’s why you reversed them, i got it.
I didn’t do it
You did, I think that was actually after the conversation with me – so that people don’t have to scroll to the very end to see the newest comments
oh… yeah… that
but my whole blog is upside down… wordpress did that… even back when we used scrolls, I doubt you had to go to the bottom to start… it is all upside down
And then you repost your old stuff to make things even more confusing.
okay, that I did do… do do… ha… I said doodoo
You said “I said doodoo”
I seed my doody and I dood it
how unuuuuuuuusual… I guessed that but then I wondered if you were working a top ten countdown. Like David Letterman.
he does work those
Oh, I’m nothing like Letterman. He does reverse order, I do it the old-fashioned way
on top… ha
or I go up when he goes down.
this is sounding pornographic now
Looks, too.
looks can be conceiving
3. Hey! why isn’t anyone responding to my comments!!! Not fair!
That’s the ticket.
Hey! why is someone responding to my comments!!! Not fair!
People are so rude.
I know, right?
I know right… from wrong
Sorry. I cheat sometimes. being fair isn’t all it’s cracked up to be mostly…
Yeah, being fair is just so unfair.
only if you’re the one trying to be fair.
that sounds fair
That’s fair to say!
I went to the fair once
That’s the worst part about trying to be fair.
fair is like pregnant… you are or you aren’t… there is no trying
What, are you against people trying to get pregnant?
just stupid people
unfortunately, it seems that it comes easier to them
that is the problem
unless you are trying to become fair… that is like trying to become pregnant…
It’s still commendable to even try.
to get pregnant
that, too
ha
HA! I kinda look pregnant. (stupid beer and aging) I am not sure if I look fair. I guess my complexion could be considered fair.
sigh
that joke was fair
that cracked me up… mostly
Hi!
Hi!
high
Ha! In yo face!
2. Go, inner demons! Go forth and have fun! You’re free! Don’t forget to close the door on the way out.
Did I mention you are responsible for all damages done by any inner demons released in the secret lair?
Sorry, my demon release form says that I’m not.
Demons always lie… I can’t believe you fell for that.
That’s why I have it in writing.
you will find that the ink vanishes in a few hours
hehe, but not from the Xerox copy it doesn’t 🙂
You know nothing of demon magic
True, but they know even less of photography and laser printers
underestimate them if you will
they’re my inner demons, remember? Just because they are unleashed, they’re still mine.
Just because you have them doesn’t mean you bothered to learn all about them… I have a TV… I have no idea how the thing works.
I know how it works in theory, but it unfortunately doesn’t mean i can fix one.
Then stop being so cocky about the demons
I apologize for my cockiness. It seems my inner demons have quietly returned some time ago.
They always do in the end… which is how they get back inside you… HA… and eeewwww
I’d rather not think how they get inside me. But I think it’s because I eat my inner demons for breakfast.
that works too
Ok, I want to try these 101 things…. at least some of them…
1: Hello, new people! Do you like candy? I’ll give you candy if you follow me to my nondescript windowless blog…
That is a pretty warped viewpoint of that particular one…
I’m a pretty warped individual, if you remember.
I do, but it is nice to be reminded now and then.
I may have been bitten by a crack squirrel…
I’m insured for that
I wonder, are crack squirrel bites covered by dental insurance?
For them it is… why, are they going to catch a disease???
better safe than sorry.
That isn’t their motto
What’s their motto? “crack-crack-crack-crack-crack”?
pretty much
When do we leave and is there a toilet??
We can leave right now, and there will be a rest area in 300 miles.
Darn! shoulda laid off that tap water an hour ago!!
HA
Too late now.
yup
just look what you’ve done to me! what with all your “tap water for everyone”
wee
exactly!
yup
More water?
too much is dangerous
You just handled the entire Pacific Ocean.
manhandled it
And snor-killed it.
best pun ever
That is a long way to walk
We can run, it’ll be faster.
You can fly… using a jet stream of your own urine…
There’s not enough pressure, unfortunately.
drink more beer
It’d have to be from a firehose
exactly
yeah, ok. We’ll run. 300 inches you said till your windowless blog??
wow
that’s probably all I am good for as far as running. Wait how far is 300 inches?? Um like 14′?? Yeah I could run that. especially if there is a toilet at the end!
I could fall half that distance
There are no distances on the internet, unless, of course, by 300 inches you mean the length of your network wire.
oh yeah… that’s what I mean…
Oh my, what big network cable you have…
you know it, baby!
I’d rather not.
ha
There must be one around here somewhere
oh wait! Am I considered a “new people”? mmmmmm.. I don’t think so.. I think I would be considered “old” by many standards.. But I like candy!
You are a fixture, a staple, a member of the family…
awww…a member of the family? That sounds so much sweeter than a fixture or a staple, although I get it, but…..fixtures get replaced sometimes…
So do members of the family… this is an evil crime syndicate, after all.
no horse heads right??
no… I like horses
well, they have heads don’t they? firmly attached to their bodies I hope.
let’s keep it that way
Since you’re not new people, you still get candy but don’t have to follow me to my blog.
dodged that bullet
shh. I know right? sometimes the universe is kind to me. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
a broken clock is right twice a day
Lucky you.
HA!
HA! I have been there already! well, not today, but I had to read one of your posts out loud to a friend and it wasn’t easy as I was kinda crying from laughing so hard… So There!
awwwwwwww
i know right? But I must share the truth.
must you?
yep. it’s usually easiest.
sure it is
not today YET. sorry I forgot to say yet.
yet again you forgot the yet… the Yeti will be angry
yet is over. I just was there.
I’m not there yet… ha
Wow, thank you. And I’m sorry for making my blog so hard to read.
he does not dumb it down
I try, I try. But then I also go off the deep end.
I noticed that
and thanks. I like candy!
…ooo000ooo…
You’re certifiable, Art. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
I take it in the nicest possible way…
We are working on something huge for us so I haven’t had any time to comment on what I read. I subscribe to your posts through my email, which means I haven’t missed many installments in the Life and Times of PMAO. I can’t wait to get back to blogging because I have a lot to tell. Very happy you had so much fun on your second honeymoon. Love ya, man.
Wait… this ‘big thing’ doesn’t involve the murder of your spouse, does it? Because I was joking… you would look horrible in orange… it wouldn’t go with your eye at all…
hahahahahahaha! Awesome, dude!
Just making sure.
Ohhh man count me in!
We are already counting you in… it is the getting back out part that is tricky… HA!
I decided to give everyone pizza because I’m generous like that *hands out virtual pizza*
Yay… I can’t tell you how much money I spend putting those stupid snack trays in the lobby… really… I can’t tell you…
I’m pretty sure it’s those damn squirrels eating all your snacks you know…
what? oh man… that sucks… why didn’t anybody tell me?
Because…crack squirrels
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
reunion party
I don’t even remember you.
Juuuussst kidding 😀
You’re a blonde, right?
I could be if you want me to be… HA!
You’re so easy haha!
uh… yeah
Shenanigans resumed!!!
Yay!
And we need to get Trent off his frozen backside…
I think it’s probably safest to leave him be when he is in the bugnuts zone…. or, we might get sucked in with him.
I think you might be right
It’s too early for us to realize that, it will ruin the plot.
we have a plot???
Well, we should. That make things more efficient.
Is it?
Yeah, plots move things along nicely. Not having a plot could lead to chaos.
That is what I do here… chaos…
I thought that was the squirrels’ roles?
we are one…
Well that explains everything.
nothing explain everything
that can’t be true
spam
hooray for spam and the truth
spam and maps
and amps
yes… them too
and Pams.
no… not them
Dang. I like the Pams.
You like everybody
Everybody is an awful lot of people. It’s unlikely that I would like them all.
I don’t like most of them
That’s just what the squirrels tell you to say.
yup
*sniff* I miss Trent…. poor old Trent….*sniff sniff*…. sigh…. remember how he used to… no, never mind… I don’t want to make everyone else sad…. carry on.
He is sorely missed
reunion party!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! All hail Art! The great and powerful OX!
Not thrilled about the new nickname… I have a character in my sci fi books with that nickname…
sorry… I will stop. It started out as a typo but then I found it amusing so rather than fix it I of course, beat it like a dead horse!
Not that I would EVER beat a horse, alive or dead. Oh boy, I think I may have started my own rumor….hang on a sec.. the puppies are boiling over…
Wow… even for this post you are going out on a limb…
I know, I was a little scared but it doesn’t appear that anyone noticed!
They rarely do
that is how these things get started.
someone said something about starting a rumor….
This is a rumor mill
I had no idea that we are now helping the pandas. I’m back! 🙂
We help everybody…
SAVE THE PANDAS!! and the sloths. and the kittehs….
indeed
The kittehs need saving? But, don’t the rule the world already?
Oh… I thought that said ‘shave’ the pandas… I really need to wear my glasses…
Or contacts?
I don’t have any of those
I have far too many. Wait, that doesn’t really make any sense, does it?
to me it does
That’s good, thank you.
ha
Woot?
whoop
woohooo!
careful now
hip hip huzzah?
thank you
you’re welcome
spam
hooray for spam and hashbrowns
true dat
screw it! Lets just shave the pandas~!
Makes them taste better anyway
shhh!! The kittehs don’t think we know that! Are you trying to get us all kilt??
Whoops. My bad.
Or is it?
Perhaps I’m a spy for the kittehs to see what the hooomans know?
FOOL! the kittehs do not need to lower themselves into the bowels of humanity to attempt to train a hoooman to spy! Talk that that could be the end of you!
When?
Will I see it coming? Will it be a surprise kitteh attack?
Most of them are… that is how they hunt
I could be in trouble then.
you usually are
Well, yeah, but that’s besides the point… isn’t it?
is it besides the point or beside the point?
whichever one is more neighborly.
hmmmmmmmmm
Hah!
spam
hooray for spam and reeces
reeces looks like feeces
Ew.
yup
uh… eeew
HA! It is doubtful you will see it coming–until it is too late! Unless, of course, they choose to toy with you and after several strikes and bloody attempts to escape only to be retrieved you may stand a chance if you can manage to play dead, without actually dying, long enough for a nap to be needed or a fly to go by, or possibly an aggressive plastic ring off the gallon of milk surfaces… then maybe you can sulk away if there hasn’t been too much blood loss or internal injuries, you might just survive…
My tail pops off and distracts them while I run…
that’s agood tactic, if your popped off tail flops around enough…..
oh… it does
we don’t know much
You know that the kittehs already rule the world.
sigh
It’s a good thing though. It keeps the mouse population down.
sure does
If they were bigger, we would already be dead.
some of them are bigger…
right… and they kill people
meh. so do people. and when people kill people they very rarely eat them.
That is sort of a good thing
what part? the people killin people part? or the not eating what you kill part? cause I think if you are gonna kill something you should probably eat it. I don’t necessarily agree with sport killing. I think if people want to kill animals for sport they should give it a shot naked and barehanded.
I don’t want to encourage crazy people to eat other people, even if it means they go to waste…
that might be an idea, but I think if someone is broken enough to kill another person, it might not bother them to be required to eat the person they killed.
even maniacs usually draw the line there
Let me be perfectly clear. I do not now nor have I ever been an advacate for killing innocent people nor consumption of deceased people. Or alive ones either.
good enough… we do have standards here
reunion party
You may remember me from sarcastic comment I made some moments back on Fishies Part 1. Don’t worry, I’m generally a very nice person. I just couldn’t resist. Also, I’m still sniggering from that post, so I have no clue what I’m doing. But does this mean I can print out business cards on which ‘Made History by Commenting on a Blog to Impress WordPress Overlords’ is written. It’ll be great for garnering more crazy people for world domi . . . ahem, never mind.
That is exactly how it works… it is also a fun place to meet people, release your inner demons, act out, misbehave, detox, play with your inner child, ramble, digress, act the fool, show off, contemplate the meaning of the universe, join a writing experiment, or just help me reach 30,000 comments. Seriously… you seem like someone who would appreciate what we did there… do us both a favor and try scrolling through a bunch of the comment threads and see if anything catches your eye.
Mmm, I tried. Nope. Nothing makes sense. This Trent fellow is famous though. I’m still trying to figure out where he tried to seduce himself.
Oh that Trent is something….that lead to a huge pick up party! I however had an excellent arguement with myself not that far back into the string….
And the competition begins again…
I’m after his job as head minion…. nah, not really it was just fun to say. I am far too busy maintaining the dust. Have you met any of our new bunnies??
I know all and see all…
ooooooooOOOOOooooooooo.. the great and powerful OX ha! I mean OZ.. ahahaha! I crack me up! I know I know, you too!
sigh
And what’s up with all the dust?
Head minion! Get a cleaning crew on that!
well, since it got a little quiet around here I became the minion in charge of maintaining the dust. Trent is in charge of cleaning it. Therefore I am clearly winning as it got rather dusty hereabouts. Aren’t the bunnies cute? You may name one if you like because although I am very good with naming things, they tend to multiply… well, like rabbits..
Trent has been so busy that we may need to promote a minion to fulfill the head minion duties…
Pssst…Art… I think AdorablyA fits in pretty well….
so do I
YEs, excellent arguement.
Oh! thank you! I think I was even actually getting mad at me! boy I sure know how to get under my skin!
uh… you live under your skin, don’t you?
ha! I have a house in the suburbs!
are we up to 30,000 yet???
huh? 30,000? oh yeah, there is a goal! I am not supposed to be just having fun!
we can do both
there is no end Art. You have started something that will never be finished. good job.
I always wanted to live forever
And another innocent wayfarer slips into the quicksand that fills the swamp of my mind… sigh…
Oh, I’m loving it. It’s like a slow suck into doom and darkness. Wheeeeee (?)
That is exactly how I planned it… and now I feel guilty
That is why he is my head minion.
Try replying to him in one of his comments. He likes new people.
You know, everytime I come here I just feel like flirting with the mirror, or engaging in scandalous poetry. Or streaking the quad. Are you sure this isn’t virtual Bohemia? It could be.
Don’t hurt yourself… I appreciate the effort, but nobody fell for this new attempt at reviving the comment post.
It was a good attempt. You know, one day the stars will align and everyone will jump in there again, just a matter of time. And a little friendly persuasion.
I never give up…
CODE BLUE!!CODEBLUE!!!!
CLEAR! 1.2.3. Again! CLEAR! Come on biggest comment post ever! come on! (thumping on it’s chest)
Whew! I think it’s ok for now!
It is on life support, but there is no ‘do not resuscitate’ order.
Then it’s a good thing I came along and have watched a lot of hospital TV shows! whew!
We rely on your medical skills.
good thing I only look away when it gets too gross then! Remember “I am not a Dr. and I haven’t even played one on TV”
I really need minion insurance…
pshaw! obamacare.
HA!
see?? I can be funny! 😀
I know you can…
REMOVE IT AT ONCE!!! RIGHT NOW! I MEAN IT!!
heeheeeheeee….oops. “there is NO ‘do not resuscitate'” carry on.
oh… phew… and no shouting at your glorious leader!
sometimes I get excited.
well simmer down…
remove what?
Let’s go streaking!!!
We can all do it together… naked typing party on the comment blog… oh yeah…
*pulls of shirt*
What? That’s all I was wearing to start with.
TMI!!!
I thought we were going streaking?
I thought we would wait for a big crowd… like a reunion party… just the three of us would be sort of sad
Oooooooh. Okay. Yeah, that’s a better idea.
I like to include the ladies in everything we do here… especially this…
Good plan, especially for this.
yup
you’re a genius
did you have doubts about that?
Sometimes… it’s the expressions you make.
oh
Yeah, like that one right there, next to all those fishies.
spam
hooray for spam and fish
not while I am doing the fish posts… makes them nervous
They should be nervous.
good point
And not just for the halibut.
no… for the smelt
that’s a spicy tuna-meatball
and smelly
too humid. too much like exercise. let’s just sit around. pass me a dog treat?
I don’t have any of those… I do have some kitteh treats though. Is that good enough?
no… we have standards when it comes to the minion chow…
Not chow, but treats. There’s a difference.
yeah, 30 cents a pound
those 30 cents add up quickly
they do
Every party needs a pooper…
oh, thank you! kitteh treats covers EVERYTHING! delightful! Wait, those aren’t spiders are they??
whoops
spiders with warts…
No, no spiders here. As official spider relocator for the kingdom (along with all my other roles), I can attest to this being a spider free zone.
But we have a spider garden… I paid extra for that
I hereby resign as minion in charge of R&D. I can not in good conscious be a part of an organization that has an active spider garden.
Just don’t go in there
Too late. Now that I know of its existence.
well, I need to think about this
I’ll withhold my resignation for the time being… how much time do you need?
spam
hooray for spam and eggs
that too
Wait a minute! the three of us sounds like enough to me!
now that you are here, yes
We’d make more of a statement if we had a few more.
And I wouldn’t be standing around in a group of naked guys
anymore?
Weren’t you Navy? Communal showers? Or do movies get that all wrong…?
They do get that all wrong
Interesting. Good to know, I guess.
it is
Really? really? spider garden = kitteh playground with all the free treats you can eat!
there you go
Bleh!!!
to each their own
Fair enough. And, if you have a lot of them in your spider garden that means there are less for me to worry about elsewhere.
Exactly… it is like a zoo…
That does make me feel much better. Okay, I won’t resign my minion role.
I will keep them locked up
I appreciate that.
I do what I can.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! mufph.
Laughter is always a good way to start a day.
Make my wife nervous when I wake up and break into maniacal laughter
You need to keep the maniacal laughter in your head in the mornings.
but you just said it was good
It is good, in your head when it is maniacal, quietly when it sinister, and loudly when it is jubilant.
I will try to remember that
sigh
I will streak anything, anywhere, and in any company.
With or without liquid courage?
He is Canadian… they take their courage in solid form…
Hahaha
That sounds painful.
They are that tough
It’s the cold, right?
Among other things.
The liquids do help, I must admit…
Or solids, as the case may be, during Canadian winters, which I hear last for 14 months out of the year.
They usually help me too.
oh yeah
my goodness my Guinness
stout stout, let it all out
great taste, less filling
up the revolution
Do the Dew?
It is that level of commitment we have come to expect from you… also, you are all about the classy…
Don’t you mean “assy”?
not usually
TRENT!!! 😀
sigh… the prodigal son returns
or just flits in like a butterfly and off to the next…
He gets all the attention because he is so rare… I should try disappearing for a few weeks… see what happens…
um, I am not sure if you recall but you did that recently. Some little slice of heaven called Maui I believe it was…
I seem to recall something
It’s all true! I’m streaking right now!
He has a mean streak… HA!
Wait. Where are the fishes?
They are on their way.
Great. Swim little fishes ….
that is what they do
🙂 and they swam and they swam all over the dam! HA!
!
whee
I know the song… my mom used to sing it to me,.
sadly, I do as well…. or at least I have spent much of the time since I typed that trying to remember more than that part. “Swim said the momma fishy Swim if you can!”
I can ask my mom.
didn’t they swim over the dam and to the ocean or something like that??
I forget.
“Stop!” cried the mama fish,
“Or you will get lost.”
But the three little fishies
didn’t want to be bossed
The three little fishies
went off on a spree,
And they swam and
they swam right out
to the sea
are you adlibbing?
nope. thems the words. according to google.
never trust google
I don’t. It’s the devils work. That’s why I voted for your mom.
good
Hello… now type something…
Hello, yourself.
Yay… you are now a part of history… a good part… not like most people who go down in history.
How YOU doin’?
HA! I have been saying that to people with a New York accent because I watched some of a Friends marathon… channeling Joey…
Exactly!!!
I mimic him all the time.
Great minds and all that
Over 27,000 comments? It’s getting pretty crowded over here. Thank God. Now, where’s the current conversation at…?
We haven’t had a current conversation. But some people will answer if you reply to them in old comments. It is almost time to have one of our reunion parties on this post.
I’ve done my fair share of replying on other posts but, alas, I am not as witty as you Art, and I’m afraid I cannot think of a reply worth voicing in most cases…
However, a reunion party seems perfectly apt. I’m there for sure.
The way to find your voice when commenting on blogs is to pick a favorite comedian or cartoon character, and then just sort of pretend you are them when you type stuff.
Ahaa, thanks for the tip. I’ll put it into practice when I get the chance.
I don’t know if that will work or not, but I typed it in a Chevy Chase voice… so… I got that goin’ for me…
Ahaha, I’ll keep *that* in mind, too.
I just say what I think, quite often it is very funny, at least to me, and there’s even times when I amuse others as well. That is just a bonus.
:’) Well, it works for you!
sometimes… HA!
ahaaha
oh yeah
Yes, your attempts at humor do indeed amuse us considerably… HA!
See?? that is the beauty! I think myself pretty funny. I make myself laugh a lot. It is a bonus for me if someone else “gets it”. If not, I still had fun.
I am so like that…
Clearly we are.
clearly?
wait,what?? attempts? attempts at humor?! Do you know who you are talking to?? Do you know who I am??
Is this a trick question?
I know who you are…
I am currently trying to remember the fishy song… might you know it??
this is why we have Google
Or your mom, who would probably be righter than google. (Or a more reliable source.)
you got that right
The fishy song? That doesn’t ring any bells here, sorry…
It is a really old song.
It sure is! HEY!
ha
That’s ok, It is a pretty old song, but not totally lost and forgotten yet. It was a kid’s song.
I’ll have to look it up.
keep it alive
ah ah ah ah stayin alive. (sorry you made me do it)
no disco… I will send you to your room with no dog treats
these kindsa things are important to me. To keep old stuff alive. My kids can sing Clementine- all verses- and the song about Charlie stuck on the MTA. I think that was the Kingston Trio?? Old songs that I hope one day their children will know. Might have to add the fishy song to the list, although my daughter thought it sounded familiar.
Let’s see how long you can keep me alive…
It has noise sounds in it too as I recall. Kinda like I was so amazed when I realized the words to “mare”s eat oats, and doe’s eat oats, and little lamb’s eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?” not “marzydotes and dozeydotes”
sigh
no like “bop bop bidden bottom waddam shoop”.
I remember those words… oh yeah…
no it wasn’t… drunken sailors used to sing it on long sea voyages…
no, that’s Lincoln Park Pirates…
oh
Steve Goodman iconic Chicago song…
…………………………………….0
Current conversation?
Right here. Right now.
These never go out of date… people will still answer after years in a stasis field time warp deep sleep chamber…
The topic?
Oh. I thought you were in charge of that?
nope… do I need a new minion?
It’s not like you can have too many minions.
But I need standards too
Really? Why?
spam
hooray for spam and I completely forget what we were talking about
uh… spam?
Oh yeah!
ha
I can be. I guess.
So… what are we gonna talk about?
you got spammed 7 times… not ignoring you
I love when I get spammed.
me too… ha!
When you get spammed, or when I get spammed?
I didn’t think it through that far
What are you waiting for?
I have moved on
You aren’t on island time anymore?
Time means nothing to me.
That can’t possibly be true.
very little?
I don’t remember anymore.
if indeed you ever did
that’s a fair observation
sorry
Why are you apologizing?
I don’t know… habit?
marriage survival tactic?
yeah… that
Yep, that’s what I thought.
yeah you did
Something controversial. Let’s start a debate.
If you don’t mind, Art?
I can’t imagine that he would. Isn’t that even one the items on the list?
We are debating… and I don’t want any argument.
Nothing wrong with a spirited debate.
I do not debate with spirits
Because you know you’ll lose?
yes
Smart. Practical.
I am all that and more.
Ahaa, indeed.
Now, as for something controversial, care to take your pick?
The right to arm bears?
Which came first: the chicken or the rooster?
If a tree falls in the forest does it scrapes its knees?
Tomatoes… fruit or vegetable?
How can public nudity be illegal if we are born that way?
Why does Hawaii have an interstate freeway?
How come when we send a package by truck it is called a shipment but when we send it by boat it is called cargo?
Vegetable.
It’s all the Quakers’ fault.
Because your car can travel to other states via shipping lanes.
Because 42.
bazzinga
😀
yup
I’m going for the latter, I don’t know about you.
Which one was the latter?
Or the ladder.
Or the lager?
yup
If a tree falls…
Oh, okay. So… what does happen when a tree falls?
I’m not sure. Have you ever actually watched a tree fall?
On its own? No. With help? Yes.
I’m intrigued. Go on..
My neighbors had three giant pine trees on their property, and one year they finally got tired of the needles and the sap, and they had them cut down. They were so large they had to be removed in sections…
Also, I’ve been camping and heard trees fall, and gone to find them, but never actually witnessed the act itself.
Wow. Pretty large, then.
So, did you find them?
Yes, I found a few them. Hard to miss, actually when a couple campsights had to be close because the tree was spread right through the middle of them. And they had to be cut because they were blocking roads too.
I assume that no one was injured?
Correct. Very lucky that nobody happened to be camped in those sites at the time.
Indeed. Do you know the cause of the fall?
Bark Beetle damage, sadly.
I see.
It’s a fairly nasty little problem at the moment, affecting forests all over the world. And, there isn’t really a good solution. We need some colder winters to keep their populations in check.
I was talking to a friend today, actually, about how are winters seem to be warming up – in the grand scheme of things.
We do seem to be on a warming trend right now, with overall global temperatures rising. But, I know a lot of places had really harsh winters this past year as well. Things are tougher in the Sierra because we are in a really long drought, no rain in the summer, no snow in the winter. Is that caused by the warming trend or just a coincidence?
I’d guess a warming trend. Where abouts in the world are you from?
Sunny Southern California.
I’m pretty envious. I’m in England and it usually snows every winter, although the last time I recall it snowing recently was the early months of 2013. That’s unusual for us.
What part of England?
Which is basically the lead up to this question: Do you watch football and who is your team?
Which is also just a lead up to this question: Are you going to watch the game in 30 minutes?
Near London.
In terms of the world cup, I rarely watch it but I’ll watch it if I catch it. And, I support England – despite how incompetent a team we are. :’)
My family are so, maybe, I might join. Are you?
Yep. I’ll be watching. And rooting for England, too.
I watch a lot of premier league, and a few of my favorite players made the squad this time out.
The team has plenty of quality, which just need them to finally step up and play to that level. Fingers crossed.
Which team(s) do you support when it comes to the premier league?
As a teenage girl, I honestly can’t say I know much about football. I’m all for the rugby though. And Formula One. I guess I take after my mother. :’)
Manchester United.
I know, I know. How terrible of me. But, in my defense, I’ve supported them long before their most recent successful period, so I’m not a bandwagon supporter, and as a “yank” when I was first introduced to football I didn’t have a lot of options.
Ditto!
My step-dad is from Manchester, so our family are Man U supporters all the way. :’D
Hooray!! Glory, glory!!
Ahaa, indeed. :’)
Enjoy the game!
Not enjoying it yet… but there’s still time.
I’m not watching. Keep me tuned.
Not worth watching yet. If that changes, I’ll let you know.
Cheers, ahaa. :’)
You are missing some terrible officiating. But, that’s nothing new.
I’ll nod and pretend I know what you mean by that.
Go watch!!!!!
Quick!!
Mr. Bossy Pants!
I heard the cheers. What happened?
Rooooooooney!!!!!
Andy? Micky?
Wayne.
John or Bruce?
Wayne Rooney.
I got nothing
Give it a minute, it will come to you.
I doubt it
Scored?
sorry… spam again… and I have no context for this statement.
Where have you been?!?!
Yes, he finally scored a World Cup goal.
Not that it matters. England have been mathematically eliminated.
Sorry, she got spammed.
Hahaha, well, that explains it.
yeah
Silly spam rules. You’d think it would be smart enough to realize that if you already have 100 approved comments from someone, they aren’t likely to start sending you anything you would consider spam.
I know, right?
Yes, exactly right. We should petition to get the rules rewritten.
uh huh
AHaa, I heard.
Sad times.
yup
you don’t really care! I’m not convinced you even know what we are talking about
Of course I don’t… I’m having a sidebar crisis.
Fair enough.
I hate this whole thing sometimes
it’s better than most of the other options
…………………. …………………
yeah, why does it show up when you open the post???
no clue
I think I fixed it. yay forums.
what was the problem?
some bad code got stuck in one of my posts, I guess.
funny… and kind of scary
it is like invisible virus’s… virisi… viri… germs
those icky invisible germs!!
where???
Everywhere!!!
nuh uh
Yes, sir.
that’s the ticket
I was talking to the top squirrel.
not the secret squirrel?
not even the moose and squirrel
Oh, Natasha
You’re taller than me. I should probably be Boris and you should be Natasha…
okay… fine
It’s only logical.
Thank you, Mr. Spock.
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow?
How big is the Captain’s log?
Smaller than the Captain’s blog?
HA!!!
That’s what I’m here for. Having reached my quota for the day, I believe I’ll take my leave.
like the lone ranger… sigh
I’m more like the ranger known as Stryder.
I totally identified with him when I was reading the books as a kid
I identified with Gandalf.
I do that now too. In fact, when my beard and hair go all white, I am growing them long and getting me a wizard hat.
And a staff. A proper wizard needs a staff…
I got that covered… wink wink, nudge nudge
Oh, very nice. I had a staff … once… I wonder where it is now.
Just don’t get a staff infection…
They have antibiotics for that now
It’s like magic…
Of course. Current science was yesteryears magic.
and vice versa
that’s how these things work
oh
sigh
wheeze
hack, er, um, I mean: cough
ha, er, um, I mean: HA!
what are you tittering on about now?
how should I know???
the question was mostly rhetorical
mostly
partially leaning towards completely
but occasionally staggering over into inconsistency
that’s the way of the world.
I try to have my way with the world…
How’s that going for you?
well she doesn’t make it easy
The chase is most of the fun.
yeah it is
Ah, a Charlie Sheen movie before he lost his marbles…
so… going way back.
Yeah, all the way to The Chase.
If I quoted, it was purely unintentional.
No, no. This was all on me. I said, “the chase is most of the fun,” or something like that.
oh… phew
I know. I’m glad we clarified too, I wouldn’t want that hanging over your head. You’ve got enough to worry about, what with trying to take over the world through your blog and all.
exactly… I owe it to the people of Earth…
Just Earth?
For a start.
Have to start somewhere.
not everywhere… right
Well, you could… but that does seem difficult.
even for the crack squirrels
they are only human, er, um, squirrel-kind
true enough
I wish I was elf-kind
I know what you mean
I was thinking LoTR elf, rather than Santa elf…
I knew that… I would rock those ears… and I like their architecture… their jewelry… all the cool leaf and vine motifs… and their weapons… oh yeah.
Woohooo
How do we make this happen?
cosmetic surgery or becoming love slaves to the guy who did the movies. or maybe a seance where we contact good ol’ J. R. R. himself.
Too costly and too gross. Let’s do the seance.
I agree… and of course we have to think up some cool elf names… I could be Artholess… or Arthadriel…
I’m gonna stick with Matticus… I think that works okay.
It really does
But I do mean all the Earths in all the realities and dimensions…
Oh, okay, that’s more like it.
I never think small… weird, maybe… wrong, certainly… but never small.
Not even when playing with micro-machines?
not even then
but small!!!!
but small is but a small but
You’d rather have a large but?
I have no but
none at all?
not really, no
Interesting. I feel like that might make certain things difficult.
certain things are all ready difficult…
those things!!
life is funny
true
I mean, not all the time…
In fact, I have no if, and or but
no you are just showing off
well… yeah
Well played. *claps politely*
oh yeah
I know promote you to head minion in charge of figuring out what the hell I am talking about…
what the hell?
What did I do to deserve that punishment?
Assigning me an impossible task…
well… you can just make stuff up… that’s what I do…
Oh. Okay, I’m good that. Sounds like fun.
oh… it is
I’m glad we settled that.
oh… scored… I get it…
I will tell you what happened… I have decided to promote you to head minion in charge of telling us when we get to 30,000 comments here.
And the world went crazy.
What an honour. Thank you, Sir.
sorry, this one went to the spam folder… that happens sometimes… but you got the promotion.
It’s fine. I can’t complain after being bestowed with such an honour.
You are canned meat with extra chunks of fat and gristle… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
(We all do that)
our whole country has that
I don’t agree with that
really???
Really.
hmmmmmmmmmmm
hummmmmmmmmm
you win
Hooray!!
sigh
three cheers, to be precise
…oo000ooo…
do a play by play recap…
time? what’s that?
an abstract construct designed to make us feel better about how we live our lives
You mean like being late for stuff, and being able to figure out how much of your life you waste working and doing dumb stuff?
Exactly.
sigh
Run out of things to say?
I do have things to do
What are you waiting for?
who knows?
You answered my question with a question. That’s not allowed. Is it?
Isn’t it?
You should know the rules, this is your space after all.
It is?
That’s what is says over the door.
sign sign everywhere a sign
my kingdom for a sign?
Better than a horse shoe…
or other “leavings” from a horse.
yup
dude, my whole sidebar is gone
Did you accidentally change themes?
I hope not
That would be hard to accidentally do anyway.
hopefully
inconceivably
inevitably
arguably
so you can still see my sidebar?
Not on your main page, but, yes if I click into a specific post
hmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, it’s weird
sure… why not
are we at 30,000 yet?
I have no idea? I’m not counting.
well who is… we need a new minion…
I thought that was part of Trent’s duties
you would think so
hang on, I’ll see if I can find a number
I feel like a number
It was 28,801… it’s a couple more than that now.
it always is
that’s good for you
it ought to be
I could never kick a ball with such velocity… I do the rock…
we never do… have options… I mean
plenty of options now
MLS wasn’t around when I started watching soccer
Now it’s just a short drive from either of our homes to watch professional soccer at Stub Hub center in carson. Plus, NBC recently picked up the rights to broadcast the Premier League, so on any given weekend you can find quality soccer on TV
ok
uh oh… teenage girl alert… everybody be on your best behavior…
Too late. ;))
hey, this is a family friendly place… mostly
rooting… like a falling tree
that’s unrooted
the roots of all evil

or the love of money?
the love of all trees… which we use to make money
Silly humans.
you got that right
And not in a good way either.
ha

do tell
They love me in the UK
We do.
ha!
and YAY
yup
(hint: not this world)
yes, weather changes in one place cause other changes to spread
If you say so.
I do
we have a name for that
too bad about the global warming
The hand we are dealt. It’s all in how we play it that really matters.
the odds are with the house
they always are
And I own this house…
they are ruining California
hate those things
They are devastating.
indeed
Wind or rot or both, usually… or roots undermined by erosion… sometimes they are just drunk,,,
Drunk trees :’)
yup
never assume that
Some fall more easily than others
True.
love is like that for some people

hmmmmmmm
yes… do…

only when I cut them down
you don’t want to be in the way
Seems right to me.
good
and they do
Bring it!
Hey, this is all you…
I can’t carry *all* the burden. 😉
Just point us in the right direction.
Left is the right one, honest.
I’ll buy that
Or maybe the right is the right…
wrong
Right. 🙂
I never am… not here, anyway
two rights don’t make a right, right?
Right. The make a left.
right, I might
I love debating… and I won’t hear any argument about that… HA!
Ahaaa :’) Then, now we have your approval…
You always did
Ha… I had to Tweet that last comment of mine
yay
Oh… we don’t use those… think of it as freeform jazz… just jump in anywhere… reply to old comments, stir something up, take us in a new direction…

awwwww… shucks…
….and stayin’, even if I can’t be around much these days….
I might be best in small doses…
I vouch for that. I’m getting strange looks smiling randomly on the streets and the shops when I remember something from here.
That might be the nicest thing anybody ever typed to me.
Facebook is like jail. You sit around, waste time, have a profile picture, write on walls, and get poked by guys you don’t really know.
Which is why I use WordPress.
I know, right? If I wanted to be ignored by people I know in real life, I would stick to real life…
Ignore you? It is to laugh.
Friend taught me a little trick yesterday. You walk up to someone you know, contort your face into an expression of abject horror, and say slowly, “What happened to YOU?”
Then you time them to see how long they attempt to disguise their hasty route to a bathroom mirror.
Oh man… I do that kind of stuff all the time… but when I see it typed out, I realize how evil I might actually be…
WordPress is the drain hole cover for evil. We all come here to exchange collector’s cards.
They are just trying to keep the smartest people on the planet busy so we don’t rise up and run the place.
I don’t know what YOU’RE doing but I’ve been runnin’ the place since ’69. You must be one of my minions.
Fetch me a Twix, minion!
I can’t be a minion and an evil overlord at the same time… that is a conflict of interest…
Nonsense. Married people with kids are the very definition.
well played…
did you want that Twix in candy bar or ice cream bar? Or perhaps some of both?
both… don’t be stingy…
Another fun game for real life people, When you are talking to someone, rather than look into their eyes, adjust your focus just above them, maybe around their eyebrows. People will actually straighten themselves up to try to put your gaze into their eyes! It is so funny!
That’s awesome. I had heard that if you stare at their third eye area (basically, what you described), it makes them very uncomfortable, so it’s a fabulous way to stick it to people you don’t like.
But now I wanna watch them straighten up. (Rubbing hands together like supervillain.)
If people really annoy me, I move closer and lean in… so they have to look up my nostrils… HA!
“Lean in”?
Go to the two minute mark and start taking notes: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/inudzz/comedy-central-presents-stories
well, I don’t do the make out face, I do the cold look… with the doll eyes… like a shark… no emotion whatsoever…
It is so funny! They really do! Or just to be annoying try the hairline… ><
Or the groin area…
Yeah, notsomuch for me, I end up with “you want somma this?” ew. no thank you.
ha
Well?? Didja try it?? Did it work for you??
yeah, did it?
Nope. I prefer to simply sidestep morons rather than engage them. Anything else takes too much effort out of my grueling schedule of spreading joy.
But I have been known to plant rumors.
You take that high road!
ok, that will work much better here anyway. I have been trying to get someone to fall for the straightening up thing for so long. There just aren’t any takers. but we could get a nice juicy rumor going here…… I prefer that it be about me. Or Art. Just so no one gets offended.
I am always a little offended about something.
I am tall… I just look down on people.
For someone who realised the sudden growth spurt did nothing because all the other kids had longer growth spurts at a later time, that just makes me very sad.
My jokes are just that poignant…
have to check out that baby pic now 🙂
I have no context to put this comment with… so… uh… good luck with that?
you said in your post only one person commented on your previous post with the picture of you as a baby… 🙂
oh… I forgot all about that… I am not above using guilt to further my nefarious rise to blog stardom!
Right, have you found that baby pic? I was searching for that too, in a manner of speaking, because I’m too lazy to search that sort of thing.
yes i did 🙂
ha
i think i commented on it…
Then you are already in the history books…
Well, there are a few baby pictures of me in here… somewhere.
which post has the baby pic in it?
It is the one right below… or before… the actual comment here record-breaking post.
cool will check it out. 🙂 i would feel annoyed too if no one checked my cute baby pic. it did lure me to comment so it worked, well set trap. cuteness can be hard to resist.
Then this whole blog is one big trap! HA!!!
😀
oh yeah
aah i found it, the cute and slightly disturbing though weird in an arty sort of way baby pic! 🙂 yes, and cuteness it is. love reading your posts and comments. always make me smile. i am way too shy and OCDworriedaboutsayingsomethingstupid to be witty or pretend to sound intelligent. that is why i stick to poetry. i can say something and mean something and someone else can read something way more awesome in it than i intended. or it could make their mind go blank but then the blankness will still technically count as a metaphor, so the blankness could be intelligent and witty and whatever. art is art. i have seen a stick stuck to cardboard labelled as art by those who apparently know. so poetry is my metaphor-camouflage. anyway. what i really wanted to say was i find it awesome when people can be so free about who they are and be funny and silly and just themselves. sometimes it’s nice to talk about nonsense cause after a weird while it starts to make sense! 😀 anyway. glad i found the cuteness-pic in your awesome blog-trap.
I just don’t know who else I would rather be than me, so that makes it easier, I guess. And thanks. I will stop by and check out your poetry as soon as I can.
mine was not a hint-trap so if you don’t like poetry you don’t have to. 🙂 there are no cute babies on my blog either so… nothing to lure you with. or witty awesomeness. (me talking bout poetry was not meant to be a trackback.) 😉 easy as pie! i wouldn’t want to be anyone else either. that’s what’s nice bout blogging, we can be who we are. if people like us, awesome, if they don’t, their loss. we write to write and not necessarily to be heard. if someone gets us, bonus! 🙂
I like poetry… I write poetry… there are lots of poems on this blog, not to mention the songs… which are poems set to music.
cool 🙂 oh yeah i remember now you saying you write music and i thought hey that’s awesome. havent check your poems yet… will do. (see there…ocdfearalert: please ask Trent, i’m not that bad! he sortof understands me.) 🙂 anyway. i like that word.
I feel like I am pressuring you…
oh darn i’ve stepped into your music-trap! 😉
uh oh
there is no music tag in your tagcloud…
there is a button on the top bar called something like: my original song videos…
i apologise, i was so enchanted by your tagcloud 😉
Yay… I worked hard on that thing…
Oh boy! If you have a yearning for some silly talking have you come to the right place! It isn’t all silly, and I have met some very VERY smart, nice, and interesting people here! Welcome! I don’t know what Trent is doing, as head minion he should be saying this, but since I like him so much I got his back… Notice how dusty it is, yeah, Trent is in charge of clearing the dust too…(but I am in charge of making it)
You might just get promoted over Trent if he keeps slacking off…
reunion party…
I must say, that was an excellent arguement I had there! I am certain Trent will be jealous although he did try to pick himself up… which opened up a whole buncha flirty talk. I think he wins. Even if I was the first one to fight with myself, and almost made it a 3 way fight, (and made myself laugh when I did it, and still when I reread it. Pretty darn clever if ya ask me) a buncha flirty talk wins.
I could go either way, but I would rather watch you flirt and him beat himself up…
How do you know? I get the part about me flirting, but what if he is no good at fighting? I mean I doubt it, but you never know…. Might not be his forte. (I am not such a good flirt)
he might get so carried away that he actually ends up rolling on the ground and punching himself… and if you get that carried away with the flirting, well… win/win… ha
I have been known to have my way with myself…
uh… yay?
I mean I usually win…
usually
Yeah, I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken…
and that was just this morning…
I’m afraid I’ve completely neglected my duties here.
And yes, I said “duty”. It still counts as a comment.
But did you notice Julie tried to start a fight with herself yesterday? That is a new thing.
Well, yeah, the minions are restless, and turn on each other. But sometimes there just are no other minions.
It turns out that minions have their own lives… who knew… they never show that in the movies.
Hollywood movies just aren’t very accurate. It turns out I still can’t fly even I drew a big S on my chest and wear my underwear over my pants.
That just makes you even less aerodynamic
My big S does make me non-aerodinamic
if you say so
What I spectacular image this conjures…..
uh… I guess
This may look spectacular, but it’s really uncomfortable.
ha
Yes, I say. muuufffff. underwear over his pants! Thats a very funny image in my mind…
Canadians always dress like that
If you would be so kind as to post a picture, I might just wet my pants!
do not post a picture of that… or of wet pants…
But why would you even want to wet your pants?
I assume she means involuntarily…
Probably, but it’s still no fun.
and yet babies survive it every day…
I would say “parents survive having to change the baby’s diapers every day”.
I was so fast at that.
oh come on. It’s not so bad as long as it stays warm..
It wouldn’t stay warm for long, would it???
See? X knows exactly what happened!
he always does
tried?? I was completely successful! I was even getting mad! And it was longer ago than yesterday….
time flies when I am watching you have fun
time flies except when you want it to!
sometimes it crashes
or comes to such a standstill you become pretty sure it is going backwards!
That never happens to me
Psssst! Art! this is the closest X has come to talking to me! I’m so excited!
He is shy, you have to lure him in with sugar and apples… like a pony…
then scratch him behind the ears
We all have… no worries…
Well, I’m back for the moment. Almost like good old times
It is like coming home again…
You are home.
home you are
It is just too fun.
to too two tu tu fun
Hello
resistance is never futile
Captain Picard say so
🙂
But was he Capt. Picard when he said that?
Hmmm, I’m in two minds about that 🙂
Answer a –
He said ‘Make it so’.
Or answer b –
As far as I can remember he was in the process of being taken over by the borg, then was captured, and then his mates helped get him free; so technically we could say the part of him (which said this) was fighting the takeover was still Captain Picard.
🙂
So he was half Borg, half Picard… He was Picorg… or Porcard…
Life is full of unanswered questions; my best thought would be, his heart was always his 🙂
This blog is all about answering the unanswerable… and coming up with new questions that nobody ever thought to ask… and then answering them… sort of…
I shall be sure to come an’ have a look 😀
It only works when people look at it…. thanks
sorry mate I’ve only just stumbled upon your blog, so not had chance yet; I will come look, promise; though the only answer to life’s questions that ever made sense to me so far is 42 😀
I wasn’t trying to manipulate you so much as making a clever and just a bit sarcastic commentary on how my blog would have no effect on anybody if nobody read it… sorry
aw I know you weren’t, I never ever thought you were a borg person 🙂 and no I didn’t think you were being manipulative; I do promise to come read more of your posts; at the moment I’m trying to figure out what’s going on 5th June with the ‘reset the net’ thing; have you any idea?
I haven’t even heard of it… I am a computer moron
Me too 🙂 have a look though –
http://writtenonpavements.wordpress.com/2014/05/19/for-june-5th-2014/
so an underground movement?
well to be honest I haven’t a clue; me personally no, I’m about as undergound as an Albatross; and about as good at IT;I’ve thought about it and the only way my contribution could affect the net, is if I shut down my computer for the day; let’s face it I’m no good at this kind of thing.
I guess I’ll have to go hide in unimatrix zero land until the 6th.
We all knew the world was going to end sooner or later
I read somewhere that we are all being taken to another planet; all the animals too….. I hope they bring the plants too 🙂
I wrote that into my 4th book in my Sci-fi novel series…
I will believe no probs that you wrote a series of books, as long as you don’t try tell me your name is Asimov 😀
Did you write some of the Star trek novels?
no… the books are all right there on the sidebar to the right… I do humor sci-fi… and a children’s book…
ok I will have a look 🙂 don’t be offended though if I haven’t heard of you; I propbably only have read some of Discworld; and Douglas Adams; can’t remember any more at moment, am trying to do several things at once at mo 🙂
I am not famous, I self-published a few books…
I couldn’t bring myself to type the word pirate lol; but I did come onto your blog and have a look; well done for getting published; sorry I haven’t come across your books before; I wish you well with your writing though 😀
no problem and thanks
sorry I don’t get to read much, these days are filled with other things (!)
well, there are lots of pictures to look at if you just scroll down.
no, pirates only do bad things, real bad things; if you looked at my profile info, you would already know that it is best that I avoid triggers; I don’t want to look at, nor think about what pirates do, they are monsters, thanks anyway, I will stick to the flowers 😀
ok
are you an alcoholic?
no, why?
I am allergic to them 😀
well you are safe then
I am an elephant
good to know
werewolves
where?
in film last night 😀
oh… scared me…
saw ’em too then
yup pretty growly folks
😀
indeed
He said to make it so.
and we do our best to do that 🙂
Well, he always wants us to go at some crazy warp speed, but I only do speed limit + 10, tops.
well, it is best not to tear holes in the fabric of time.
I agree. Can you imagine how long it will take the contractors to repair these holes? Forever, at the very least.
well Scottie always says double the time he needs…. how else could he preserve his reputation as a miracle worker 🙂
He is the world’s most famous pessimist
you need an intelligent designer for that
I think that the existence of some contractors proves that there was no intelligent design.
I am not at all religious, but after looking at all the pictures of flowers from our Maui trip, I will concede that there might be an intelligent designer… but, in an ironic twist of stereotyping… he is a gay interior intelligent designer…
I’m not surprise that he does not appear before people anymore – probably doesn’t want to come out of his closet
religious homophobes are in for an unpleasant surprise…
they’re in for a lot of unpleasant surprises.
I sort of hope so
I had to tweet that one…
i think i’m going to tweet something too.
you go, boy!
I have to go, actually.
make it go
this was fun, once again.
yeah it was
or the knees of your pants… HA!!!
I didn’t quite get the hang of ‘shabby chic’ there did I 😀
It is so easy to go a little too far one way or the other.
I know, fashion is so very fickle, and does not even provide us stabilizer training wheels, how cruel it is 😀 but we live and learn, so I now know that blue is not the new black, and I am not a sucessful punk rocker…… I may try Goth next 🙂
you can use big bellbottom jeans as stabilizing training wheels…
big bell-bottom jeans, excellent for hiding that I’m on roller-skates too; I need to go buy some; there’y’go I can now be a super-long-leggety glidey person 🙂
p.s. that’s not sarcarsm, I’m English.
My whole family is from England… originally… before we got demoted to mere continentals.
lol allo,
islander waves to continental
😀
hopes you are all still waving the flag out there.
We have our own flag, but it is a little flashy…
are you a sea pirate?
I have done posts about that, yes
I only saw your last post with the pics of flowers so far. Are you one of those people who save whales? One of those in the videos? 🙂
No… I mean, I would save a whale if I had the chance… I just like pirates… and Photoshop…
oh 😦 ok well never mind; I don’t like pirates, they do bad things; but I like the ones which save whales; I will only look at your flower pictures then; there’s a compromise 🙂
It is just silly pirate stuff, just so you know.
You mean pretend not real?
oh yeah… I have never been a real pirate… I do funny pictures with funny words… just type ‘pirate’ into that search thingy up in the corner by the magnifying glass and look at a few of them. If you don’t like it, I will never ask again.
I like ‘Simon’s Cat’ if that’s any help; but I don’t like pirates; I will look though 🙂
it’s all good
make it so so
or “make it slow”
make it snow
ha
You could tweet too that Patrick Stewart is an excellent actor, and that James Dooham has this http://jessicatregarth.com/2014/05/19/in-memoriam/
I love Star Trek 🙂
I think I am following Patrick Stewart on Twitter. I get celebrities to tweet me to drive my older daughter crazy.
I’m the opposite, I take the old-fashioned approach, I don’t want to speak with anyone famous in real life ; but I can appreciate the idea of your daughter oohing over ‘daddy talks to captain Picard’ lol 😀
I did get a tweet from William ‘Capt. Kirk’ Shatner… and Ricky Gervais, a few from Eric Idle…
which begs the question: if you could tweet to someone of the distant past, do you think you would be able to say anything to them which would change the course of history?
they didn’t have twitter in the distant past… HA!
imagine they did 🙂
I can do that
Who did you vote for yesterday? lol I’ve just noticed there is a ‘pirate party’.
was there an election?
it is so hard to make it so
lol, I say that every time I do cooking from scratch 😀
HA!
I say: make it so what
That would be a perfect question to ask Picard.
I will Tweet him
Do they still have Twitter in the 24th (or 25th?) century, to boldly tweet where no man had tweeted before? (or is it “twat before”?)
what about Facebook?
No, that one will be gone. As soon as teens’ parents got on, it’s doomed.
good point
Lets keep pushing those numbers! 😉
yay!
Have you thought ….
no… I never have
Neither did I
there you go
I did?
I saw you whiz by
The dust gave me away
like the Roadrunner
Meep meep
HA!
Why did Wile E Coyote keep trying to catch it? If he had the money to buy all that stuff, surely he could just buy one to eat 😉
I remember seeing a Roadrunner cartoon where Coyote caught it and held up a sign that said “Now what?”
I did a post during one of my cartoon series with the coyote standing by a cooked roadrunner on a big plate
Haaa. Fast food
exactly
I think I saw that episode too Al!
whoops
The dust gave you away?? That’s cause TRENT ISN’T DOING HIS JOB AND I AM DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. Just lookit all the dust!!
He is very busy these days
I think not.
Me three
the three mosquitos
That has a sting to it
I have a sharp wit
And I have a warp shi…
What were you saying?
who knows what I was saying?
Sorry, What?
exactly
Eggs act Lee
Ed Zachary
Zachary Quinto
The Nino, the Quinto, and the Santa Maria…
The Ava Maria, and they Call The Wind Maria
I call the wind Irving
Only in Berlin
I get it… you really are too clever for me…
I take your breath away
well give it back before I die
There’s 8 million ways to die
at least
ha… I thinks that is more or less what I said
But we can agree on things, right?
I guess… or does that just make this boring… I should have answered: no we can’t
No, because great minds think alike… oh wait… they think and we don’t.
they like to think
they think they like to think.
I think they think they do
they like to think they like to think.
I think so too
That statement requires thinking, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to avoid here.
yeah we are
I read about this on another blog and wanted to be part of the record!
You are now a part of history! Thanks.
I wonder how you type-whistle?? ooo ooo ooo doesn’t seem right… oh well, it doesn’t really matter I am not such a good whistler anyway… My dad, he was a good whistler. Apparently it isn’t an inherited trait…
I am good at it… wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Yeah, but I wanted to be melodic, not just loud and screechy.
it sounded ok to me
sounded like a street cop whistle to me. I was looking for more of a ” doo dee doo” kinda whistle.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
that would be a hummmmmmm…..
maybe wheeet wheet whEEEt???
maybe
Holy Cow! Glad I’m not in the middle of that conversation! I wouldn’t want ’em to turn on me!
3-way girl fight!
it’s like a dog or cat fight. Never get in the middle of it. Just hose em down if you have access to a garden hose and faucet…
I have a very nice hose
I bet you do. I knew that was gonna go south.
oh… I didn’t even mean it that way… but now that you mention it…
can I share some of my new favorite sayings? I have been waiting to use them…
well, I suppose it’s ok, since it is only us awake….
maybe I should wait for the right moment….
oh, come on!
well, I don’t remember who said em first, I should give em credit for it right?
well, probably but it isn’t like you are getting rich offa someone else’s wonderfully witty remarks or anything…
nooo, but I don’t want people to think *I* came up with them, well, not really, I would love them to think I came up with em, but I didn’t.
I did
ok so then don’t say anything at all then.
don’t not say anything
are you telling me to shut up?
no, didn’t you see what I said? “don’t say anything at all then” That is not really “shut up”. well, I guess maybe it is, but even if I DID tell you to shut up I doubt you would.
that’s telling you
hah! You never know, I just might!
I might… I might even share a little
yeah, you got me there, I know you pretty well, and you just might..
you don’t know you at all
god! how did this turn into an arguement?? I just stopped by for a little fun. Why must you constantly pick at me?
Don’t go crazy on me… that isn’t covered in our minion medical plan…
are you kidding me?! Pick on YOU?! I think you were picking on ME!
girl fight!!!
fine, whatever.
are you going to take that?
oh no you don’t! I know what “whatever” means!
so do I
yeah? WhatEver.
Smack her!
You know what? I don’t like talking to you when you get like this.
nobody does… HA!
I’m sorry, I don’t know what got into me. I thought we were playing. Are you sure you aren’t just being too sensitive?
so moody
what are you implying??
yeah… what exactly?
Nevermind. carry on. and I mean that in the nicest possible way…
Nobody has gotten into a fight here before… alone… this is new ground… Trent is going to be jealous.
you might… but not here
No, they weren’t yours. I think one may have been spacurious…
uh
maybe
I should be the person who finds themself suddenly incredibly wealthy. I would do so much good. At least I would like to think I would..
I believe you
keep it up
Is that a threat? Remember when you were little and you cried so hard for so long you couldn’t stop? No? I guess I was the only one ever to do that then. My dad used to tell me “Stop crying or I will give you something to cry about” That is what your “keep it up” made me think of!
We call it egging someone on
oh no, daddy was definately NOT egging me on. He wanted me to stop crying. Only I couldn’t. But I had to or he was gonna give me something to cry about. Which is funny because I obviously already HAD something to cry about.
circular logic
is there one?
Of course there is. There are many.
ha
go ahead
ok, “Oh for the love of my first dead dog” hah! I don’t know why that struck me as so funny but it did. but the right time to use that would have been when I was getting exasperated with myself during the heat of the arguement. Darn! Oh well, I think I did a good job with it anyway.
you did
yes!
hooooo! it has gotten a little dusty in here. Where’s the minion in charge of dust?
wait a sec… it isn’t me is it? GAaaaaaa! I don’t remember what I am in charge of! Well, if I AM in charge of dust, haven’t I done a splendid job? Look! there’s some over there, and over there, and up there, and ALL over there!
You are now in charge of making new dust… Trent is in charge of cleaning it up.
ooohhh,,,, he is gonna be so busy! I am gonna have so much dust around here you might not be able to see your hand in front of your face!
you will be like Pigpen meet the Tasmanian Devil!
just keeping it dusty….
ha
it is so much easier than trying to keep it fresh.
I hope we are talking about the blog here… HA!
**hoooo** is the sound of blowing dust away fyi.
you need a dust blower
Trent, you lazy bastard!
hahahaha! Should someone poke him??
yes
Got wiped out, I presume.
Is that the world’s first joke about dusting?
No, I’m pretty sure I’ve made some dusty jokes before.
and some dirty ones
I think a dusty joke is another name for an old dirty joke
if you say so
i even tweeted so, to make it official
so you tweeted so
shhh! maybe they’re sleeping….
ok, try not to knock anything over then fer cryin out loud!
well, then. No cryin out loud either. Cry silently if we are trying not to disturb anyone! sheesh.
oh just sit down and wait for someone to get here will ya?
How is that working?
it lead to an arguement….
ha
I always cry silently… sob…
I do too, don’t want anyone to know I am crying. I also usually do startle quietly too. Very rarely do I make a noise if someone scares me….If I do it startles me! hehehe
oh…
ha
makes perfect sense right? if we are supposed to be quiet whats with fer cryin out loud??
Crying just rarely comes up for me… I think I even wrote a poem thing about it
Sometimes you have to nudge them by typing comments in reply to their comments
I don’t know how this works. I have to look to see if someone has replied to my comments. There is a blog or two that send me an email that tells me someone replied to something I said, but yours doesn’t. What’s up with that? (it doesn’t matter really, I don’t spend too much time on my email these days….)
It should go to your comment box… oh wait… you don’t have one
Oh, is that something that comes with a blog? Like a toilet in a bathroom??
I guess so
Hello?? anybody here??
I am always here
yeah, hours later.
ha
Yes. Just now.
just now… and then… HA!
and make it so.
make it slow
Holy cow! I thought I was gonna be alone forever! HA! who am I kidding? I have cats!
they have you
yes, you understand cats.
I have had my share
Can you train your cats to type comments?
I thought they were typing those.
probably. One would demand food and the other would just say crazy things I am sure. It probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Like teaching them to use the toilet. When I wanted to/needed to use it there would be a cat on it…..
cat on a keyboard… hamster on a piano… what is the world coming to
better on a keyboard than a hot tin roof.
I think the heat improves the dancing
SAVE THE ENDANGERED PANDA’S!!!
Oh yeah… Julie is back on the minion job!
I’m trying. I was at a loss for what to say there for a little bit. Shocking isn’t it??
a little
I scare people when I am quiet….
yeah… you do
Ha! for real. They get nervous when I am feeling quiet…
we all do
27,545… I mean 27,546! Buddy, comment thread, it’s been a while. You’re like a vintage scotch or a well-aerated wine, I just wanna drink the crap out of you until I’m well-aerated myself. I don’t know what that means, but I know I mean it.
No one is better aerated than you…
there now it is a nice even number 27,550. or at least it was till I had to tell you about it.
and just like that, back to a nice even number 27,560!
BAM! 27,580!!
ha
whoops
Well, now it is uneven again… you know what you have to do…
27,806. Even again. 🙂
no… 30,000 is even
and we are well on our way.. I can see it from here!
ooohhh…. now I wonder if we are really looking at anything here from two separate places… I mean, if we are looking at the same screen from different places, are we looking at the same thing? ok, that sounds crazy… I need to think about this
don’t hurt yourself….
no… please don’t
only a little more than 200 to go, heck you could do that standing on your head! I don’t reccomend it, but you could…
I do everything that way…
I lost my thread. I hate it when that happens. I guess I’ll just start over.
that always works
Great. What should we talk about then?
I am going to talk about feet… in my next post…
I see that. I haven’t read it yet, but the window is open for when I get a minute.
I love my big old feet
Love is a strong word to use… Are you sure that’s what you wanted to say?
yes
Okay, at least you own your feelings. That’s more than most of us do.
I do… I really do…
It’s a good thing to do…
I hope so
More people should, it would be a better world.
It might be
You know it would be!
I know very little
but together, you and your minions, you know a lot
we are a hive mind
we are borg?
more or less
We must assimilate?
yes, we must
… hey there! wow. this is pretty amazing…
Glad you like it… you are now a small part of history.
‘I’ll take that and treasure it! thanks!
Thank you.
I saw an old post in my very full inbox telling me to leave a comment here. I did. Because I have 12 million better things to do. What the hell … Here’s to 27,388
Every comment helps save an endangered Panda…
Oh god, I hope it’s not true! What if we get to 100 billion comments? Where would we put 100 billion pandas???
Then we could start eating them again… HA…?
I’m pretty sure they taste like bamboo.
and chicken
and fur.
you can remove that if you want
You should have told me that before.
sorry
