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 
The squirrels got into my scanner. The project is stalled, but progressing for the Art about Art project. This has nothing to do with grasshoppers.
NO!!!
YES!!! It’s busted!
technology always lets us down
Oh so,I upgraded my system and well it does connect the printer, but won’t connect the scanner. I don’t remember where the CD for the driver is either. Nuts and triple nuts.
I have a bunch of old Photoshop pictures on a zip disk, and I can’t find the disk to install that
Now that would freak me out.
right
Exzacktly
exzactly isn’t exzactly spelled exzactly
Ezak-talee!
that’s much better
OFF COURSE it is!
HA!
The thing, you don’t know, Art, is that I am the Opinionated Duck. And I’m back to help out, but under a new blog name. Who would have guessed? 😉
wait… we can do that???
Ahaa, don’t tell me it’s WordPress’ best kept secret?
that is just crazy talk
It’s just talk. The crazy is all you.
right
Fart.
You know what? I take that back……Let’s go with this one instead…..
I slit the sheet. The sheet I slit. So upon the slit sheet I sit.
Say that three times fast.
Never mind.
Fart.
HA!
I never do
In my first book in my action/adventure/humor science fiction novels, the hero… which is me in another dimension… gets to name a new race of aliens, and because they are tall and thin and have black and gold stripes, he names them the Wasp Whips… a tongue twister…
I am all aquiver with anticipation
oh yeah… go with the classic…
Less than three weeks to Christmas and I only have one present. How many you got?
ha… we went out last night… and got one…
You got a knight? Coool
His name is Sir Percival!
I’m glad they never had Galahad
Galahad had a dad, a dad he had, had Galahad
Was Galahad’s dad a bad dad?
yes, but he was the only dad Galahad had
Galahad was sad his dad was bad. But Galahad was not a bad lad. Not even a tad.
I can’t add to that… not now… that I’m drunk… what about his friend… Sir Osis of Liver…
Well, I am tired so I will Sir Come to sleep
ok… catch you later
This post took longer than the average post to load. Let’s see if you actually make it to the history books.
I apologize for that… but if you ever read all the comments… and survived the laughter… you would see why.
Blimey… I think I got me knickers in a knot. Someone get me a meat cleaver! Oh crap, that sounds bad…
say knot knickers five times fast
knot knickers five times fast
sigh
I’m drunk… you rat bastard… I miss you… where the hell are you…
Why am I sober???? What weird universe have we slipped into? Hang on, let me get my wine on…
Trenty trentie trent… dang it… I sound like Julie… hey… Where the hell is Julie!!!
Julie Julie Julie! Need some Julie! Where. Is. The. Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know
Shiiiiiit…. Julie in the house yo.
sigh
I was born to rap.
born to crap?
Baby, I was born to rap!
to snap
Where on earth is everyone?
on earth
I just ate some Chinese food. Yo yo, And, you know, watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. Dr. Jones! Dr. Jones! Man, I wish I were an archaeologist… I’d carry a whip everywhere. Hmmmm….
You would dig for bones…
Schmack!
I saw that one coming… HA!
I’m drinking scotch! Going to streak soon… it’s Friday! Someone get me some olive oil! And some pecans… oh yeah, I said pecans all right. Those are the best nuts ever. They’re crunchy! And cool. And deliciously nutritious. And now back to the scotch. Scotch! Where’s Julie??? I need Julie Julie Julie! Art, bring the party man.
I commented at her… if you call, you know she will come… and don’t you dare say anything to make that seems dirty…
Hey, I don’t have a dirty mind! By the way, I’m going to light up the beaver later and slap a moose. Oh yeaaaaaaaaah…. Friday night in the hood, baby!
don’t melt the igloo again
Is it getting hot in here?
yes… I am
I’m here to get drunk and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of bubblegum.
oh yeah
And by drunk, I mean not drunk. Because, you know, there’s no way to get drunk on the information superhighway yet.
which just means you can drink and drive
I’m pretty sure even electronic drinking and driving would only end in tears.
not here it wont… unless somebody does it at work and gets fired. But the booze are real… you just have to buy your own… and not drink it until you get home.
I’m in. Got my wine, and I’m all ready for partying.
Yay. I am hoping the idea will begin to grow as word spreads. But feel free to pick random old comments that are funny and reply to them. Tell them to get over here. That’s what I am going to do.
‘k
It seems to be picking up momentum
A momentous occasion. (For some reason, that looks misspelled.)
I wouldn’t know…
..and I actually AM drunken on this Friday night after winning a bottle of Mulled wine (something like that) tastes like cinnamon? (horrid if not mixed with cola)
YAY!… except for the taste part… but this is not a place that requires good taste… HA!
Yay 😛
yeah yay
still yay?
extra yay
yippidy yay – hooray. Is the party over yet. —I think I missed it whilst having my own imaginary party!
It is still going on… more or less…
I am trying to decide if more – or less – wine is in order this evening
when in doubt, tip the spout
and let it all hang out?
Yeah – I am going now…to tip the spout completely out
oh yeah
ye EEEAH!
well now you can’t run for president ever
prime minister?
sure
excellent – I shall make my preparations soonest.
it pays to be prepared
I am here for the drunken reunion post even though I am not, nor will I be drunken. Or drunk.
It is not a requirement… it just helps… HA!
What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?
I had a private blog all about that… I have done some epic, world-class stupid stuff. Or is this an idea for a theme?
Well I wrote this before I saw your comment about themes, but it can be. Just getting more comments here.
that works too
ok

first thing that popped into my head
funny how on two different coastlines we are often on the same wave length
We have high asp-erations…
breasts…wait, what are we talking about?
I forget, now that you implanted those in my head… HA!
that’s a true friend for you, someone who implants breasts in your head
my other response is:
that’s a hysterical visual
I can’t keep that image in my head… it makes my eyes bulge out
are you sure it’s your eyes?
simmer down
liven up
even more???
uh no you’re good, I guess that was hours ago
wait… I have no context for this one at all
I remember this one kind of, you told me to simmer down so I told you to liven up and you said something like, ‘even more??’ how’s that?
hey… but now I forget which one came after that… HA
yeah…so…let’s go somewhere else with this, we’re on a mission from God
spam… hold the context
just when I was referencing the Blues Brothers, sacrilege
I blame wordpress
yeah!
yup
yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
now you can’t ever run for President
I wouldn’t know where president would want me to run to anyway

A blogger… I real life
oh cool, how did that happen? sorry if you posted about it, I’ll be getting to it, as you know. I never thought I’d meet up with someone from online, let alone invite them to stay in my house, especially when I have a kid, but you know, we’re talking about Hasty.
Man… She is something special… So sweet… And those eyes… But no, I haven’t posted about it yet. It will all be made clear
ah ok, and yes her eyes are every bit as amazing in person, and she’s even sweeter
I knew it!!!
yep, we all fell in love with her
and I missed it
well we never know what the future will bring
oh… I do…
well, tell me, soothsayer, what will my future bring?

It’s a gift, being gifted
it’s also a gift to be present
I present you with a present of my gift
is it a box?

I’d rather a box than a bag.
I have a difficult time not speaking in innuendo.

damn, I’m making it up as I go along…hmmm
The barkeep says, how do you plan on paying for that now?…
yes
I give up…
Charlie Chaplin didn’t reply because he’s a silent film star.
And the crowd leaves.
did they leave laughing?
They left carrying me out to toss me in the dumpster.
how was your dismount?
a little scary at first, but the 1/2 a second I was in the air, I felt liberated, then it was painful and I still smell because of it
the smell is the hard part
yeah, that’s the worse

I forget how often we have those
shamefully often
I thought this was a no shame zone
I am full of shame
is that what that is???
that’s a polite way of saying ‘shit’, good you picked up on that
I am gifted that way
I have no idea what posts these comments are on unless I click the comment
and I refuse to do that
hey you know, I’m not sure if all my comments are coming through on this post, or I should say the replies, I was just glancing through and didn’t see some I wrote, however the way the comments go on blogs nonsequentially makes it difficult to follow so maybe I’m missing them, np for me, but are you being deprived of comments? a freakin’ wordpress conspiracy?
you got spammed… sorry
yeah, I see that

that is about it for that game
hahaa right, new one:
follow up this:
a man walks into a bar….
and he pulls out a box and inside is a foot-tall man in a tuxedo and a tiny piano…
the bartender says, “what can I get you? and does your little friend want something too?” …
The man orders a beer and a small whiskey for the tiny man
The foot tall man sits at the piano on the bar with the whiskey on the piano and begins to play…
You know this is an actual joke, right? The bartender asks the guy where he got a foot tall piano player…
I had no clue, I was just going with it, ok give me the punch line
It involves a genie that misunderstood and thought the guy wanted a twelve inch pianist
hahaa, when you started it, I was pondering innuendo with the foot long idea along with the instrument
well duh

issues from a snake, you’re a pervert
not all the time
I’m kind of a pervert from time to time myself, but…aren’t we all?
some of us are just more inventive
and some of us shock people if we say something perverted, the innocent face syndrome
I never met an innocent face I didn’t like
I have but it was a child and I feel guilty
uh…
yeah, I don’t know if you read during the posts about hasty’s visit, that I have a son, it was a friend of his who was mean to him, kind of a rude, bold, and obstinate kid that drove me nuts, and I hated that I couldn’t stand him, because I was an adult
I did… and even I don’t actually like every kid in the world
yeah some of them become asshole adults, it starts early
spam… and yeah
your blog hates me
This happens to us all now and then if we do a bunch of comments on one spot
ok I feel better now

muwahahahaha
I figured it out… but it still makes no sense
that. my friend, is the meaning of life…and that people aren’t wearing enough hats
I wear enough hats
list them for me
the pirate one, the Midway one, the cool green one for parties and concerts, the old Grateful Dead hand-painted one… I could go on
damn, I forgot what you’re listing
hats… what else????
oh right, but now I can’t see the list anymore hahaa
I am listing to starboard…
what’s that?
we were talking about a list of some sort… I remember that much
hats
right… hats… and mine is off to you

it’s our briefest comments that cause me to forget what we’re talking about, so….new subject: trees
trees full of monkeys?
so long as I’m not under it
Don’t look up
you like to torment me with monkeys
ooh ooh, eee eee
oh de oh, de oh oh
that’s supposed to be the flying monkeys in “The Wizard of Oz” I don’t think I did it right
It’s ‘oh we oh…. Oooooooh oh’
oh hahaa glad I explained myself then
Me too
see how confused monkeys make me?
I guess so
no more monkey business
it isn’t business… it is all pleasure… ha
That is the first thing that I thought of… or did I say that already
yep
I get so confused
I get so defused
infused
misused
I bet
I am 😦
awwwwwwwwwww
Ok now I forget what “I am” and why that made me sad, couldn’t find the comment, but thanks for the sympathy, you’re a true pal
wait… sometimes I say that when something is really cute too… damn language…
Are you saying I’m really cute, Art?
I am trying not to come right out and say that
You’ve been drinking, you know you want to say it.
oh man… spam… and I wonder what this one was about?
I remember, but maybe I shouldn’t say it hahaa
uh oh

how so?

Three guys stranded on an island and a bottle washes up on the shore. They open it and a genie comes out and grants them each one wish. The first guy says he misses his wife and kids so he wishes to be back with them. Poof he’s gone. The second guy says he misses his friends, so he wishes to be back with them. Poof he’s gone. The third guy says, “I don’t have a wife or any kids. I don’t have any friends. I don’t have anything really. …I miss those two guys, I wish they were back here with me.”
doh
yeah…
Weeeeeeee
look ma, no hands
that is so sad… and I am so drunk
you were drunk when you wrote that, how you feeling now? last time I was drunk-ish was your reunion party, but tonight…please don’t let me drink the Jameson’s…
I feel a little thick headed… But then again, when do I not
Well, I’d say sorry, but I’m sure that’s gone by now, (only the alcohol related thick headedness), but then again, last night was new year’s eve. And you try to beat me at everything, bringing in the new year 3 hours before me, how’s that make you feel?
I am ahead of my time…
good answer
thanks
you’re very welcome
I am, am I
wait no, you’re ahead of MY time 😉

You’re not a racist, you’re a stereotypist.
I type with both hands? get it… stereotypist… I am tweeting that… be right back
I knew you were gonna go in that direction with it. Turn it up to 11.

and this was a good comment too, geesh
dang it
I mourn the spammed comment
it went before its time
just like Jim Morrison, whose birthday was yesterday, and John Lennon, whose anniversary of his death was also yesterday, and of course all the soldiers at Pear Harbor, the anniversary of which I think was on Sunday…ah getting heavy here
Pear Harbor… was that the one that was bombed by the fruited planes?

Then wouldn’t the devil’s number be 555?
hmm now what would make you go in that direction
not sure really
I forgot what direction my question was going
we have directions???
This is a good place for me to talk about Mariah Carey’s painful performance of her “All I Want For Christmas” last night that the internet says makes her $713 million a year. A year. And what age should aging pop stars stop trying to hold on to their youth like Gilligan’s Ginger and stop showing us their wrinkly decolletage?
This is the perfect place to talk about that… and I agree. I also think, at the risk of sounding like a sexist… which I am not, having two daughters and being a Berkeley-raised liberal… that miniskirts should have a cutoff age limit.
Agreed. Even if you have great gams like Christie Brinkley at 60, wasn’t 45 years of sharing them with the world enough?
I am 54, and I do happen to have very nice legs… still… my calf muscles are to die for… but when I show off my legs, I do not do it for profit… not any more… HA!
oh yeah… drunk reunion party of the comment post
Good morning! Where is everyone? Head Minion hear, streaking the halls of the internet. It’s what I do.
Well say hi to some new people.
VID-E-O! VID-E-O! I am listening oh Head Minion! “Head Minion hear” Or does that mean you are listening??
It means he can’t spell.
He gets so distracted when he streaks. (vid-e-o! vid-e-o)
ha
hey… reunion party… all weekend
Hey… minion… drunk reunion party weekend…
Because you asked nicely in your post today, Art.
When do I not ask nicely???
Well, sometimes you can be rather demanding. But maybe that’s not you. Maybe that’s your crack squirrels.
I demand that you take that back…wait…uh…
reunion party… bring the beer
Fart
That would be a good finish to leave hanging in the air…
hey… drunk reunion party on the comment post… all weekend
Also, may I be the last comment once you are accepted into the records? It will be a one word comment which I will now leave for your approval.
Well, we may never finish doing this post, andI always get the last word,but give it a shot!
So if you are accepted into the World Record Books will we all receive individual tiny certificates showing our help in the completion of this project and if and when you do any interviews on T.V. for this will we all get to stand behind you so that we may answer any questions thrown our way?
Sure… Why not… And if we ever compile and print this as a book, you get to buy a copy.

I need a shot or two of some nice smooth Tennessee Sippin
Tennis sea sippin
Wet salty balls? Nahhh I’ll stick with Jack Black
well played
Or something
oh yeah
Is that yeah yes or yeah yippeee
the yippee one
Is that yippee as in hurray or is that yippeee as in the young kid in the fake vintage bell bottoms?
more like the yippee eye kiyay, mother%^#$@ that Bruce Willis said to that German terrorist dude in the first Die Hard movie when he dropped him out of that window at the top of the skyscraper…
Ouch, y’know that had to hurt. I’ve never managed to get a window open in a skyscraper. The ones I’ve been in had locks and alarms and such.
did you try shooting it out?
No I have to admit that I’ve shot a lot of things and a couple of people but I’ve never shot out a highrise window
That is the important missing step.
Awww well, lifes not over yet there’s still time
It doesn’t have to be a German terrorist, just so you know.
So then, tennis ladies and gym rats are fair game too?
I was sort of hoping you would stick with terrorists… I just didn’t want you to feel limited in your international choices…
You haven’t met the tennis ladies and gym rats I have… they meet all the qualifications of domestic terrorists
then knock yourself out
or them?
knock them right out of that window you shot out…
but what about the people walking below and the poor sap that has to clean up the mess? I mean would that be fair to them?
if you do it right, by the time you kill all the other tennis ladies and gym rats in the building, the police should have cleared the area.
That still leaves the poor fellas that have to clean up the mess
keeps them employed
Still, kinda gross, maybe we could arrange for some wild dogs to hang around like those in the story of jezebel?
Not my area of expertise
Soooo what is your area?
art… I am all art-side-of-the-brain…
Sooo what’s an aritistic way to dispose of shplattt
Incorporate it into a lovely mural on the sidewalk
A perfect solution
Having a head full of crack squirrels is not all bad
I’ll trust you on that one. I babysat a pet squirrel once and that was quite enough squirrel to last me a lifetime.
try having a bunch of them… inside your cranium… on crack…
Ummmm no, my mind is a scary enough place without adding furry little demons
I didn’t invite them in
That I believe, even the ones not on crack tend to roam wherever they choose.
the ones on crack really get around
but at least they’re toothless
well, not all of them are… a common misconception
one of those understandable stereotypes
exactly
I have no comment.
Well played.
reunion party all weekend long on the comment post…
Pingback: Apparently it’s time to be thankful? | She Said What?
Wheeeee
Stumbled over here somehow (not drunk, I promise)… wanted to contribute to helping you break the record. 🙂
Yay… You are now a part of history… Sort of….
ha ha… Cool.
This is how we got here. One comment at a time.
we are having a reunion on the record breaking comment post… all weekend
WOO!! This is badass.
Thanks so much. I have been ignoring it for a while. I need to have another drunk reunion weekend.
Hey… drunken reunion party on the comment post… all weekend long…
Oh how I wish this little box was at the top of the page… oh well. You asked me to do some comments using Bold and Italics, let’s see what happens when I hit “post”
That was interesting, I wonder what other stuff we can do… hmm. I thought the bold would go away and the italics would take over. Let’s try this, do the sign for bold then do it again, then do the sign for italics and see what comes up.
Nope, I wonder if anyone knows how to cancel the bold and/or italics. And is there a symbol to make words bigger or colors? I would really like to do colors… hmmm, let’s try different letters inside the symbols this is “r”
I was hoping the words “this is r” would be red 😦 Now I’m going to pout… OK enough of that, going to go google it and see what I get 🙂
OK, let’s see if the color red shows up #E40D35here
Nope, I found how to change colors in my posts though, that’s cool. First you have to highlight the text you want to be colored. At the top of the blog post where it has options to make text bold etc, there is one that says “toggle” when you hover your cursor over it, you click on that and it adds a line underneath of it which are other options, hover over them, there are some neat things. The one that is an “A” has the colors. Select your color and voila, you have color 🙂
One more time, I cut and pasted from my post, I clicked the “text” tab at the top of the post, it has your post in html. these words might be red
Oh
Sorry, I was mostly having a conversation with myself there lol! But I did learn how to make text in color in blog posts, so that’s cool… My next post will be extra colorful, I can just feel it 🙂
Glad to be of help…
I will never remember that
Uh… No
The scientific approach
This is confusing
??”???????
Oh yeah
Do you make your living as an artist?
Oh, I forgot to tick the notify box; hence the re-visit. Chalk another one up.
This is how we got here… one comment at a time. Thanks… and you are now a part of history.
What was I before?
Right… no offence… let me rephrase that… you are now a part of this particular social experiment.
Oh, no offence taken in the least Arthur; I was just keeping things ticking over as per your objective. And by the way, when I get an email notification that you’ve replied to a comment I’ve made on this article, it throws me back to the ‘about’ page for some reason. What’s going on?
Good question… I am a computer moron, so I have no idea how that works.
I would imagine this is going to hamper your efforts Arthur; it makes a lengthy two-way a bit tedious. Maybe the good folk at WordPress could resolve it for you, or are you not bothered?
My relationship with WordPress is… complex…
Euphemism understood. Something to do with this project dare I ask?
no… a joke I did… I typed up a fake spam comment and pasted it into hundreds of random blogs… got kicked off for five days… plus I sort of start revolutions every time they make stupid changes that nobody wanted.
Oh, you are a wicked one Arthur. Still, I’m pleased to hear there are still revolutionaries in the world. Do you think an anti-Capitalist inspired revolution might ever take place in the West?
I think maybe the west will just collapse under its own greed eventually, if that counts.
When do you think that might happen?
Not while I am still alive, I hope.
You don’t sound like a devoted Capitalist Arthur; so why would you object to its overthrow?
Because I don’t think something better is coming along afterwards. It is just the inevitable slide into the fall of yet more empires, followed by dark ages… or worse…
Hey, we are having a reunion party on the comment post… all weekend long
umm… I have sold books, paintings, tikis, and other stuff, but I wouldn’t call it making a living. I am trying to make a living so I don’t have to go back to doing crappy minimum wage jobs.
Hello, you’re Arthur I gather. I’m Hariod and I’m just listening to a song of yours. Do you have a gallery of paintings?
no… I have done posts about my paintings, watercolors and even on t-shirts… but they are all down there somewhere.
Oh yes, there’s a cloud tag for ‘my art’. Are you bored already? We’ve only done 10.
Nope… I answer every comment made on my blog, which helps account for how this post has so many… I did half of them.
Yes Arthur, I appreciate commenting etiquette; I have a little blog myself. So, is there some goal you want to reach as regards the number of comments or will you carry on regardless?
We are just going to go until we get bored with it.
You must have gotten bored with it loads of times surely? For example, the inanity of this very conversation. [My fault entirely]
It isn’t always a party, but we have reunions, people come on here to vent, or do stand up comedy. If you reply to random comments, you can make new friends. And if you ever read all these comments, there are some really funny parts.
“. . . if you ever read all these comments. . .” As if!
By the way, I liked your “crustationery” joke, and your daughter’s answer too. Here’s a dreadful pun for you:
I told my pet owl the other day that I’d gotten engaged to be married.
He said “you twit to who?”
Ha! I do like a good pun.
In that case:
Conjunctivitis dot com – that’s a site for sore eyes
HA…
What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don’t know and I don’t care.
This morning I’ve already changed my mind about the Evilness and/or Blessingness embodied in the spirit of the Halloween holiday. I also engaged in religious debate with a commenter, which had nothing to do with me changing my mind. What an exciting morning and it’s only 10am here. What is everyone else up to today?
Well I shouldn’t speak for everyone, but I bet most of them aren’t doing anything that involves heavy mental lifting… HA! I may have overstated how this post works though. If you comment to most people they will answer. And you are always free to just stand up and let something out. But unless you actually aim a comment at other people by replying to old comments they did, they might not see this until the next time I have a reunion party in here.
I know. I enjoy shouting into the void. That’s why I blog. 😉
Well… my blog has the biggest void available without traveling to outer space… so… yay
I saw your post in my reader this morning which I took as a sign that I should stop by and comment. I just wrote whatever came to mind. I didn’t expect an answer necessarily. 😀
Part of the reason there are so many comments on this post is because I answer every single comment… so half of those 30…whatever… thousand comments are actually mine… sigh
That is still a good thing. I make the effort to answer every comment on my own blog, too.
uh oh… because I sometimes run into people that don’t want me to get the last word in… but I answer every comment aimed at me… so… it can get ugly… unless it happens on this post… then it just keeps it going.
Isn’t that why we all have our own blogs? So we can always be the ones to get the last word in? Goodness knows that’s why I have mine… 😉
Well I tend to do it even when I was visiting their blog… because I was raised to be polite and always answer when spoken too…
I like to talk too. Mostly. It is nice to be answered too. And listened to. I can also be annoying, I know it. Sometimes that is actually my goal.
I really hadn’t noticed… hardly at all…
HAHAHA!!! You know cause you are just like me! Almost. You know, except for our differences..
we have differences???
Whoa. Are you always so busy? I think I will have to go evesdrop…
I attract people who do… stuff…
Yesterday I posted some celebrity search bait and re-shared a post about why I think skirts are a great clothing choice for women. I can’t wait to get up to some more shenanigans today.
skirts… not only for women anymore…
When men wear them they are called sarongs or kilts.
yeah… well we can still pee without squatting… so… uh… winning!
I really don’t see squatting as a burden. So yeah, we’re all #winning !
Well I have inflexible ankles… so I can’t squat flat-footed… and balancing on my toes while trying to pee seems problematic at best.
Whoa TMI !
sorry… but you started it
Oh, now you’re pointing fingers? 😉
Ha… that ain’t my finger… oh yeah… bringing it all the way around for the win… even though technically this comment might not be part of the comment thread about going pee, I still feel I deserve the moral victory.
hey… drunken reunion party on the comment post… all weekend…
Those governmental laws, here in canada they take fifty percent of cigarette!
i’m hopping to die with a cigarette in my mouth….
No smoke in public places up in the snow country….
I just switched over to the e-cigs…
Damn, now butts are going to be hard to find!
yeah… and I don’t even feel any better…
Maybe you should switch to gak….
uh… no
Ok
phew
We have some pretty high taxes on those here too.
You mean uncle sam!
you know with the snow and egg gules….
How do like that for spelling !
Ha!

oh… igloos…
Yeah in knew you would strainten me out
I do try
hey… reunion party on the comment post… all weekend long… oh yeah
Um. Let’s see… hmmm…. what to do or say… one wonders… one contemplates and ponders… and then a thought comes… oh yes… how could I forget… schmack!
Because it is completely and utterly…perhaps even remarkably forgettable?
It sounds like a wonderful thing to be so easily forgotten…
some of the best things in life are
hey… we need you…
hi. Oh wait, wrong post. WHERE IS EVERYBODY??
This is never the wrong post, woman!
It seems to be a tad dormant.
I haven’t done a reminder post in a while… poke some people… wake them up
HA! You called me “woman” HAHAHAHA!
could have been worse…
Julie! Julie Julie Julie!
yay… I forgot all about this place!
Um, whaaaaaat…..
yup
🙂 You make me so happy when you do that! 😀
ha
we need another reunion here… when my computer virus goes away
Does your license plate read EZ 2 PLEZ?
hey now
Well all it took was Trent saying Julie! Julie Julie Julie! like a Canadian Goober Pyle doing his Cary Grant impersonation to which she said, ” 🙂 You make me so happy when you do that! :D” She sounded pleased and it looked easy. Ergo EZ 2 PLEZ.
She is a friendly person, I grant you that.
You people do make me happy. But no, my license plate does not say EX2PLEZ. It’s actually just a bunch of numbers.
Numbers that add up to awesome!
A really tasty warm apple fritter or elephant ear would make me happy just now. You don’t happen to have one handy do you?
This is neither a bakery or a veterinary clinic
Well, its Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie that’s the baker and I’m not a veteran anyway.
Ha
reunion party on the comment post… all weekend
Thanks. You won’t likely see me Saturday and most of Sunday. I have a theater gig from 6AM Sat to most likely 1 or 2 AM Sun.
well, you showed up right now… which is more than some minions can say!
Yeah, you you you…you minions you.

hey, that thing goes way back
I thought you’d never notice!
ha
What’d I miss??
Old what’s his name is back…
Dang it! He is so hard to stay mad at!
well try…
Tell him to stop being so darn Canadian! (darn cute, darn funny, and darn polite.) That might make it easier….
He just can’t help himself
Haha thanks Trent, I was moving a long comment thread over to here 🙂
reunion party all weekend on the comment post…
Yabba yabba
doooo
Reblogged this on thousandthingsinmyhead.
wheeeeeeeeeee
Is there a way by which this column can be shifted up, like right below the article?
I have no idea what that means…
ROFL … never mind
I’m not the sharpest knife on the Christmas tree…
🙂
hey… we are having a reunion party on the comment post… all weekend… just saying
Sure … would you like to elaborate that??
Well… that boat has already sailed… so… no… I guess.
😀
wheeeee
I was away. I would have helped …
it’s never too late Elyse!
no it is not
no worries… we are shooting for 1,000,000,000,000,000 now… get started…

Who is Ian, and why is he so dramatic… HA!
Some joker …

One hump or two?
there are so many ways to go from that that I just froze up…
It’s all down from here.
down hill, you mean?
Lot
bad spam fighting robots of the wordpress overlords…
The good spam always gets caught …
and cooked
We have to go for 10 million now. Guinness said so. I may expire upon my keyboard.
once again, I do half of these… so… yeah
Well, you can always expire first if you want….
no… after you
The book folks or the beer folks?
the book folks denied our record…
Go to the beer folks then.
Whaaaaaaat… there’s a difference???
Yeah. One is more robust.
I don’t really care for dark beer….
and world records do not care for me… so buck up, little trooper…
party party party party
I’m here. I would help. But I’m working.
well, it is going on all weekend long… so…
Working hard.
I just bet you are
Really hard.
sorry
Is it 5:00?
not here is isn’t
Wait!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I work until 6:30.
dang
Shit.
tihS
Have I done my part for today?
there is no pressure… only fun…

To paraphrase Austin Powers: ‘Oh beehive’…
The cracked squirrels have been busy while I have been away. ART contest eh? Very busy, indeed.
I need to keep them busy… for your safety and mine.
Yes, yes, safety first when approaching cracked squirrels. Can you write a guide on cracked squirrels, their origins, and if they have plans for world domination? (or any plans at all, considering their cracked-ness)
I may have invented them… their only plan for world domination is to use my blog to take over the world, so I am sort of letting them get on with it.
sooooo, should a reader be on the watch for cracked squirrels in their neighborhoods and start a poster campaign? oo. that gives me ideas! You and your squirrels are a good inspiration.
Are you going to come up with a crack squirrel recipe???
ya know, I know someone who could. Hmmm. I was thinking more of a poster.
I like that better.
take your pick! http://www.mikewest.net/squirrel/recipes.html
uh… cherry squirrel kebab sounds pretty good… but don’t tell them that I said that…
They are just a lower breed of rodent, really. Nothing at all like the noble Canadian beaver, with its flapping tail and massive tree-rending teeth.
They keep blog production at a high level… can beavers do that?
Sigh… no, my productivity level is embarrassingly low. Well, I’m off to toss myself in front of a zamboni, which is kind of like a pepperoni only bigger, more fierce, and outfitted with various implements that are really good at scraping shit.
you could use a shit scraper since the TP ran out…
reunion party on the comment post
My oh my, still cracked?
well of course
Ha! and Ha!
and HA!!!?
testing one two three.
is this a math test???
reunion party
I have a feeling I’m alone in here. Where’s Julie?
She has been around but not today
I found her..
yay
Or did I find you?? How’s the new digs otherwise??
ha…
Yes, I think you found me. Everything is good. Logan really loves his school and I’m having a great time getting to know the area. The cats are mad, though, because they don’t get to go outside here.
mad catters
That’s too bad. They must be kept safe.
safe and miserable…
JENNIFER!!!!!!!! 🙂 SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!!
She just popped up in a new outfit…
Well, you know, she moved. I guess that is a better argument for the same outfit. No one in Maine has seen her in that yet. Or maybe they have. Don’t listen to me. I don’t know what I am talking about what with all the excitement of Jennifer being here~
tiny hats work anywhere
Hi!!!! I’m happy to see you too 🙂
awwwwwwwwwwww
😀 I missed her! Too much moving for her to play!
but moving is good for people
You’re not alone, Jennifer!
too late
NoooooooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
yup
Hi Trent! Thanks for the reassurance. The “Comment Here” thread can feel scary when you’re all alone…
This is a safe and friendly place…
When you are alone just remember, it is only an echo…
sure it is……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
So true … true … true
we hope…
or it is Arthur, right behind you. Or Trent….. but I don’t think either one would intentionally harm any of us…well, most of us at least…
I can’t kill anybody… it cuts into my stats…
hey… reunion party on the comment post… all weekend
We’re making bouillabaisse tonight for dinner. It’s going to be yummy. I should probably go stir it before it burns.
boiilla … HA!
Oh and I’ve traded my kitty cat pajamas for fuzzy polka dot ones. They’re very warm. And fuzzy. I need a shirt made out of this stuff.
yeah… I miss the hat… wasn’t there a hat?
There was a hat. It’s around here somewhere. But maybe I need a new prop??
I could photoshop a red clown nose on that picture… or devil horns… or whatever…
uh…. something nicer
elf ears?
Maybe for Christmas.
an elephant trunk?
What is cute about an elephant trunk?
I will show you… check my new post in about five minutes,,,
Wine tastes the same in Maine as it does in Colorado, but I can drink more here because, you know less altitude.
less altitude… more attitude… that’s what I always say…
Only more of the good attitude, though
duh… sorry… that was the wrong one
OMG!! HOW WAS THE MOVE?? ARE YOU ALL SETTLED IN NOW?? I didn’t see you pass Chicago.
tell us all about it
Yes, we’re all settled. You probably didn’t see us because we were moving so quickly. Had to get the kitties to the hotel room so they could pee.
remind me to stay out of that hotel room…
I’m sure worse has happened in that room
uh… right
HA! Makes purrrrrrrfect sense!
sigh
Are you frozen yet?
like a margarita
Not yet…. another month or so…. then margaritaville.
oh yeah
Not quite. We just turned the heat on for the time yesterday. My toes are a little cold right now.
…ooo000ooo…
fuzzy polka dot jammies!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee
They’re very warm and cozy.
oh boy
yeah, less altitude, but more latitude…..
or is that longitude…..
it goes both ways… HA!
and more platitude…
and longitude??
and what about gratitude???
platitude
duck-billed platitude
just leave the prostitudes out of it.
is that even a real thing?
shhh…
I mean, prostidudes is a real thing, I think…
If it isn’t, it should be!
I couldn’t agree more.
333 left to 35000
wheeeeeeeeeeee
Wheeeeeeeeeeew
why you always got to try to improve my stuff?
It’s called collaboration. And then you can take all the credit.
well you knew I was going to do that
I knew. And I have no problem with that.
we need like 100 more comments to hit 35,000
I’m up for it
I wasn’t hinting about that, but if you are
it’s less than 100 left now
should be
927 few comments ago
there is a lag
it takes too long to refresh
lemonade is refreshing
Can I leave comments on lemonade?
in the snow, maybe… ha
damn it, the snow… Jon Snow here I come!
ha…
reunion party
What time?
all freekin’ weekend… we need to get Julie and Trent… I commented at them
I saw you’ve been commenting at everyone.
I do that
I will drop by a few times and harass a few people
yay
Yeah, but what if I harass you by accident?
that is acceptable
What if I harass you not by accident?
you would never do that
You trust me too much.
I wouldn’t say that exactly… HA!
Yes, that’s exactly how much you should trust me.
yup
Am I supposed to bring anything?
a space ship and some moonshine
Where am I supposed to get the moonshine?
you have to make it yourself. I myself have had kinkypoo joy juice… moonshine,,, but instead of corn for a base, it uses psilocybin mushrooms
And how was it?
it didn’t taste very good…
I wouldn’t think it would. But does it have any effects?
uh… quite a few… you had to drink it slowly, so the… uh… slower-acting ingredients could keep up.
I can’t honestly say I’m interested in trying that.
I wouldn’t now, but I did then
But I do have tons of experience with non-hallucinogenic mushrooms.
like near beer
Besides my sharp wit, obviously?
oh… and that
I don’t ever leave my house without it.
phew
Okay, maybe I have, a phew times.
HA!
Oh! What’s the dress code?
optional
That’s good, but up here it’s in the 20s now, so it’s not exactly optional.
you have heaters in your houses, right?
Yes! That’s a great idea!
you’re welcome
I’ll bring the heaters then.
not too many
Oh right. What’s the weather in SD like now?
a cool 70 degrees with scattered clouds
And here it’s balmy 38 with pouring rain. (Not art)
I can be pretty balmy
I’m sure you can, too bad it’s only felt on short distances.
well I do not want to contribute to global warming
That’s a good plan. But I was hoping to save some money on a heating – which also contributes to global warming.
It is always all about you isn’t it?
No, it’s about my wife. I’d be okay with 60F at home, and she needs at least 70-72.
That does sound expensive.
Especially with the number of windows we have and number of cracks in them
our house leaks a lot.
Thank heavens mine doesn’t. Actually, heavens here try really hard to make it leak.
I mean ours leaks heat or cold… there isn’t much else to leak
Oh. Right. You barely have rains there.
Mine just leaks heat – we don’t even put in AC every year.
bummer
I know. We actually have windows where you could see outside through the windowframe.
we have sliding glass doors like that
We know.
ha
Will there be food?
gray matter
Can I bring guests?
heck yeah
Ok, gonna go look for some guests.
oh yeah
Guests! Gueeeeests! Hellooooo!! Can anyone hear me??
poke them
I have to find the first.
they are right there, aren’t they???
Probably.
we should make sure
I agree.
me too
No dispute there.
not even a little?
I agree. There is a little dispute here, actually.
undisputedly…
Noo!!! There IS a little dispute, don’t you see?
well played
I’m glad we can agree to disagree to agree.
I agree…
to disagree?
I agree disagreeably
That works for me.
as well it should
Is this the part of the thread where we start voicing our agreement?
I can’t agree to that
Me neither…… damn it.
yup
wait… what did I agree to? I’m p[retty drunk
To a drink, obviously.
HA!
Can I take guests away?
not tied up and blindfolded
I’ll ask them nicely at first.
it pays to be polite
But not much.
no
Do I have to be at least 18?
not in the least
Ok, in that case I’m bringing my fake ID which says that I’m 17.
I would totally fall for that…
Only if haven’t seen my actual face.
Of course, if you had, you’d try to stick it into an interesting place…
Oh… you know I would
I know. But that’s not why you can’t see it.
it isn’t???
No, i’m just in hiding. From my employer, mostly.
they are the hardest people to hide from
And I also go to hide in their office several times a week. How stupid of me!
might catch them off guard
Since I have to swipe a badge when I come in, this would give them a pretty good idea when I’m in the office.
you steal badges?
Yep that’s my job. I get paid commission for each badge I swipe.
I don’t got to steal you no stinkin’ badges!
I’ll have to get someone speaking Brooklynese to translate that for me.
It is Mexican movie bandit, circa the 1940’s
But where would I get a 1940s Mexican movie bandit? He’d be like 90 now and not even real
I can’t help that… but this did give me an idea for a funny post… you will know it when you see it… and we are almost at 37,000… more than 1,000 comments in a couple days
You’re welcome. Was is the badger one, or the one before, or the one you’re still writing?
the badger one
And where’s my bandit???
Check the bag of Fritos…
Uh-oh, my Fritos are gone! The bandit must have stolen them!
you left him unsupervised… in your house… quick… check the badgers!
Oh no! He stole my badgers, too!
should have kept an eye on him… he is the most disagreeable of the racist stereotype Mexican bandits that ever sold a corn-based food product!
Are there a lot of those?
that was the joke, basically
I realize that. But I’m trying to keep the thread alive,
Oh… we have a thread?
We do. Although a fractal is better name
thractal
phruktull
Careful
Or what?ful.
or whoknowswhatful
whattheful was that?
itwaswhatitwas… we overuse the spaces between words… what a waste of space…
Can I ask more questions?
can you?
I’m pretty sure I can.
you go, boy
I’m not a go-go boy.
but you have the white patent leather boots…
Ummm, those aren’t boots…. I just haven’t been in the sun recently…
now that was funny
Thank you. I’m sure no one ever confuses your boots and your feet.
not likely
Or maybe they were just too polite to tell you
hmmmmmm
Better to just keep it that way, I think.
I think so too
Again I have to agree on something that I have no idea what we’re talking about.
I don’t remember either… I just fake my way through with generic answers…
So do I. But what’s wrong with generic comments?
I just don’t like HA! comments cause it’s really hard to respond to those.
I only do the ha comments when there are 25 people all typing at me at the same time…
Sorry, but you called US, remember? 🙂
Also, you even somehow find the time to write more posts. 🙂
Like I said, my wife was away…
I know, and your younger daughter too. And you had frozen pizza.
(We have your house under surveillance)
I went wild
We saw that.
oh boy
If not, why?
because I said so
That’s a good reason.
only one I got
That’s the one you need.
that works out well then
I think so. I just don’t remember what we’re talking about.
yeah… me neither… I am answering all of these in the notification drop down menu…
Me too. And I don’t think this should be a problem.
and yet it might be
A few more comments and we’ll forget what the problem was.
I already did
So did I.
oh yeah
If yes, which ones?
any or all of the above
So can I just copy and paste the questions I already asked?
if you do that too many times, you might get marked as a spambot and booted for a while… just sayin’… sigh
Hmmm, yeah, bad idea.
yeah… who would do something that stupid?
When I occasionally go down through the old comments and poke people… you know… like I do… I always type each sentence a bit differently… like a good human
And I thought you copy/pasted them.
No… I learned my lesson from the spam joke
Maybe the lesson was that you can’t do it on other people’s blogs. Maybe on your own blog, you can spam yourself as much as you want.
I wonder
But you’re not going to try, right?
I forgot what we were even talking about… drop down menus… no context… I had lots of comment threads going tonight
I may have to the actual post and start some new threads
That is always encouraged.
It just takes forever to load and post a comment. I don’t even attempt it from my phone.
I was going to try to go back to the very first comments to use in a post, but it would take a week to go back
Not necessarily. You just click on “Older comments” a few times, and it will only take you a couple of hours to go back to the first ones.
the older comments button is at the bottom of the page, so I have to hit ‘end’ and then the button… about 30 to 40 seconds later, the next page pops up… repeat how many times?
A couple of hundred, I think. But I’m sure there have to be ways to get to first comments without doing this.
no doubt…
I may look into this later.
Think of the challenges of compiling this in a way that makes sense
Will it ever make sense? I mean, sure there are some funny comments and dialogues, but what are you going to do about comment threads that split into multiple other threads?
exactly
Then just send the whole thing to the printer.
no changes at all… leave it up to the reader… we will call it: The Comment Project… Can you make any sense of this?
You can market is as an art project. Or an Art project.
well I would almost have to
You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
I am trying to spot these comment threads in real time on the post…. I can’t even find them… the drunken party comments are still up at the top
I’ll harassing these people now.
get on it
i’m getting it on.
Hey now
You’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid.
good one
And I’m sure you like the message too.
I like the massage
(Like this): oh my, this will be really challenging! Can Trent help?
he can help himself
I’m sure he can, but we need someone to edit all the comments.
we just do it like it is… with all the little gravatars, the weird missing and returning spams, the stuff done out of order… the way each comment moves over a little bit… all of it!
Wait, where do our comments move to?
I mean the way my page is set up, each comment is offset a little more… each new thread starts at the left, and then they shift… but there is a limit to the number a thread can have, so they get cut off… now I have to look at it to see if I was imagining all that
Oh, I see. New thread then?
It is good either way
there is one now.
one… is the loneliest number
and two is the second loneliest number.
No, three is
three is the third loneliest
no, because one person is always left out in a three…
Ok, this is a family-friendly blog, so I won’t go into details how that is not necessarily true.
we can do the math… even I can
(Or this): and what happens if this post gets more comments, will you publish annual editions?
now that I hadn’t thought of… maybe every 50,000 comments we will do an edition.
That works. At the rate we’re going, that would be an annual edition.
well, we will see what the number is at the end of January… the one year anniversary
I don’t even know what’s the number now.
wait… hold on…
It’s kind of pointless to ask, cause the number keeps changing.
all knowledge is pointless, in point of fact.,
Not true. I actually get paid for knowing stuff that others could just look up themselves, but usually don’t.
just because you get paid for something doesn’t mean it isn’t pointless… ask any politician…
37,015
it was 37174 by the time I read this post.
Is that just crazy or what?
and now I started sticking some of my old Photoshop pictures into the post too… an illustrated book…
Can we add videos to the book?
Sure why not
I guess if it’s an ebook, then i don’t see why not
oh… good point… is anybody actually doing that? Because that seems like it makes books into a whole new thing…
I don’t know. You should patent it before it’s too late.
You thought of it
You have my permission to patent it.
that sounds like work
Or you can change the settings to show latest comments in the end, and earliest on top.
I am not good at that stuff… I needed help to set it up this way, so people didn’t have to go all the way back to comment
I know, I think I asked you to set it up that way. I’m sure you can find the proof it was me somewhere among these 37000 comments. 🙂
when we put it all together for a book, we can find all the good stuff and put them in proper order… I don’t know what we will do with the spam…
Feed the spam to your dog.
no way
Too harsh for the spam? Or for the dog?
we treat our dog better than that
Does he eat only 100% natural comments and homework?
naturally
What kind of dog do you have?
me? a 40 pound mix… rescue dog… I have posted tons of pictures… her name is Shiloh… she knows a lot of tricks.
like rescuing stuff?
exactly
Has she had a chance to rescue something already?
Me
rescue you? from what?
loneliness
what about your wife and daughters?
when they aren’t around
By the way, isn’t this post celebrating 1 year soon?
oooh… is it?
It could be. There has to be a date on the post somewhere.
I should check that
But I have a good excuse, I’m watching the Game Of Thrones.
And winter is coming.
But not to San Diego, obviously.
sort of
It comes here. But we only get it for a few months, not like GOT
ah
Have you watched the show? I just don’t get how they would survive
I think they all die in the end
Everyone dies. What matters is the exact order.
I don’t want to go first
I’m not asking you to.
phew… and spew… and sphew…
and grasp ewe
spew backwards is weps
And weps backward is… oh.
spew of mass destruction
Or the worldscrew. (Pardon my french (which I don’t speak))
spew the world
Brew for the minion crew?
that we should do
i hope it’s not just dew
the brew will be true because I value the minion opinion
you don’t need minion opinion to establish world dominion
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh… it really is…
Just how cold does it get in SD?
It has hit the high 30s a few times… maybe… in some places in the county
HA! South Dakota? It gets pretty darn cold there!
there is more than one SD
wait… that isn’t on again… new ones, I mean, is it???
I have HBO Go app this year. I’m going to use it to the fullest.
you are seeing the new ones before the rest of us???
I’m watching the seasons they already released, 1-4
ok then
Also, i read the books, so I know who’s gonna die – even those characters who are still alive so far on TV
that is going to get weird
Why? I won’t tell you who.
I mean that he is going to write one way but the show might diverge…
I’m starting to notice things in the series that weren’t in the books – like people living when they should be dead, or other people getting captured by people who never even met them in the books. Of course, that could be a temporary divergence.
no… the books are now falling behind the show… I know somebody who… knows somebody involved…
I’m midway through 4th season, and I think there is still quite a bit in the books left.
I mean in real time, the point where they are in the scripts for upcoming shows is ahead of where the books are. Books take longer to do than the show.
Oh…. So they write the show, then tell Martin what he should write in the next book?
That is where it gets weird. They, a team of writers, are writing scripts. He, the author, is a consultant. But sooner or later, the scripts will outstrip the speed of the novels. I don’t know how they will handle it.
I think there is another book coming out soon, which may keep pace for now. And then they can do this thing they did with Harry Potter and the Hobbit and turn a short chapter into a 2 hour movie (or 2-3 episodes), and the whole book 6 into 3-4 seasons.
It will be interesting, that is all I know. Which one will end up driving which?
It would be even more interesting if they completely diverge. People would have a reason to both buy books and read the series.
two completely different stories… people alive in one and dead in the other… awesome
We should sell them that idea.
It may end up that way
We have to stop them – and then point them back in that direction.
can we do that?
Could we do 35000 comments on a post?
remains to be seen… 34,963 now…
we’re close…. we’re close… keep the focus…
I have no focus… hocus pocus…
It’s ok, just keep responding to those orange things till we hit 35000
orange things?
the comment notifications
oh… right… but hey, don’t sit on a plain wooden toilet seat… splinter is coming… or I might have gone with: Edgar Winter is coming.
(and you get all the credit, obviously)
I try to share credit
You can share it with the crack squirrels. How do you know I’m not one of them, anyway?
one of the crack squirrels?
Yes. You don’t even know what i look like – or if i have a tail
in my head you do… ha!
I have a tail in your head? Why do you have my tail in your head?
you really want to know?
It is important for me to know.
you ought to know
I assumed you were…
so did I
that works out well
I think we’re over 35000 now
we are… phew… to bring it back around…
I mean, “watch the series”
…ooo000ooo…
although technically, the book is also a series…
right… semantics
yes – but more comments.
comments are some antics
did I just resort to a pun???
by golly i think you did!
dang it…
I’d normally wouldn’t try to clarify, but that would rob you of a comment.
clarity is good
Brevity is good too.
yup
How do you feel about gravity, though?
It ain’t heavy…
It is to me
it’s my brother
So I did.
ha
Oh wow, I skip this for a couple of weeks, and this is almost 35000?
we do stuff even when you aren’t around… it just isn’t as much fun…
And so it saddens me to report that I have to leave in a few minutes again.
I have to drive to LA now… so…
Whoever leaves first just stops posting comments.
…ooo000ooo…
I have to drive somewhere too, but I’m waiting for my wife
I do that a lot… your wife is always late… HA!
This post easily owes a couple hundred comments to my wife being late 🙂
I wasn’t complaining
I know. I was.
oh
but we can make these few minutes count.
sure… but I need to go or Mollie will be alone… in LA
there’s like 5000000 people in LA, how can she be alone?
so she should be fine…
Hopefully. Those are LA people, after all.
she is ok now
Good
yup
Comment spew
hey now… not that you are wrong… but swill… I mean… still…
Still what, I spewed a comment
I know you did… thanks
You’re welcome.
Sounds like a plan.
oh yeah, and don’t forget our art contest…
I remember. I just have to decide whose idea to steal for the contest.
ok… I look forward to it… gotta go… ceeya
Ok, bye
well I’m back now
And I am back just now. Was held up by both real and imaginary (GOT) lives.
that takes skill
It takes a lot of willpower, too
HA!
Game of thrones is no laughing matter.
nope
you either win, or you die, or you watch.
or all of the above
What kind of game if the one where you both win and die… Oh! Aztecs or Maya had those, where the winning team was sacrificed.
they knew how to party
I don’t like this type of party.
that is why I shy away from organized sports
I shy away just from those where you get sacrificed at the end, or have to wear a helmet.
I don’t wear anything called a cup down there
what about a goblet?
a champagne glass maybe hey… 34,988
I have prepared my best bottle of my best Veuve Clicquot
that sounds like two lady body parts… in French…
Oh yeah…. it does… but it is a champaigne brand
ok
you can have a red viewing
And a rew spewing
brew truing
that was supposed to be “red spewing”. I don’t know what “rew” means.
thought you were just riffing… free form
my fingers made a Freudian slip, obviously.
stop fingering Freud’s slip!
It doesn’t feel like a slip….
so many ways to go with that
Pick one.
I forgot what this started with
Freud’s slip.
oh… right…
maybe it’s French.
sacre bleu
oh you!
it’s true
Oh phewwww.
the cat’s mew
and rats chew
and bats poo
But a good topic for comments, at least.
exactly
but dangerous, too. Because the longer we discuss it, the stronger is my urge to watch the next episode.
so much going on there
Have you watched all of it?
up to where it is on HBO
I’m somewhere in the last season so far
somewhere
If I go to my tablet to find out where exactly, you won’t see me until I watch the rest of the season.
is that a threat?
Only to the comment count
and the common good…
the comment good, you mean?
that to too two tu tu
and tew – is that a word?
not in English I don’t think
I know right?! SPPPPPEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW
spew???
spew
I posted your new artwork…
hee hee
yup
I just reblogged it

spewspewspewspewspew. And spew.

sigh
Oh quit your complaining you love it
so bossy
but so right
so you say
Cuz I know
must be nice
Oh it is
I bet
and pepe le pew.
I sat in a pew once…
I can easily top that, I’ve done it like 5-10 times
if you want to get technical, I did it a bunch of times when I was a kid
I only did it as a tourist.
I did it as an Episcopalian… but I am better now…
Is it contagious?
sometimes
I better wear protection next time then.
before eating a holy wafer, put on a condiment
Ha! God won’t forgive you for this, and will probably leave a few nasty comments here.
I have already pissed off most of his… and the other god’s followers… and wordpress… and racists, gun nuts, terrorists, republicans, stupid people, the government, the NSA, and a few other people…
do they come and leave comments? Or just silently stew?
a little of both
Ewwwwww!!!!!!!
although technically the French word for that is spelled another way and is pronounced more like a ‘poo’ sound with just a hint of the ‘u’
peeeeeeuuuuu
pee you
pft
which is French for fart
oui
which is French for wee wee
ummm….
sure it is
Pardonne moi
Jedore le fromage que pu
Je ne parle pas francais
Ich bin ein tortellini
Und nicht ein Berliner?
no… because that was really some kind of jelly donut thing
I thought it was some kind of a hotdog
supposedly, a Berlinner is a slang term for a pastry common in the city. The German for what Kennedy was trying to say was a little different.
I was not in Berlin. I was in Germany for just a couple of hours in some weird spa place.
I have been to Germany twice…
How was it?
I like it… I saw a lot of it…
I want to go there someday. For longer than 2 hours this time
everybody should go everywhere for more than two hours
Then everywhere could get really crowded
not all to the same place at the same time. But if we all went somewhere else, the same number of people could end up everywhere
Je ne comprends pas
Canadians haven’t decided on a national language yet
Que?

Je sometimes ne comprends pas either.

get your jah jah’s off
Thanks, but I’d very much like to keep my jah jah’s
what about your jar jar, binks?
The binks must die. but I’m still keeping the jah jahs.
if you are from Boston, maybe
I can see Boston from my house.
now run for office, lose but still quit your current job, and then get in a drunken brawl at a party with your whole family piling on.
Then open my own TV channel no one would watch
you should do that anyway
I may already have it. I just don’t watch it either.
HA
34,944

a thew spread
I threw the stew
I blew the chew
I drew a shrew
I knew a gnu
A one or few?
I knew the blue gnu… and the gnu of a new hew…
a gnu of blue hue?
hew… hue… I get those two mixed up
I don’t even know what hew is
to chop… like hewing wood… or an enemy with a sword…
stop talking about the swords! It makes me want to go GOT!
you asked
But I really didn’t know what hew meant.
oh… well we just passed 35,000… I am going to do a post, link to you, and go to sleep…
Yay!…. wait… link to me – is that a threat?
You stuck around
can’t you just take all the credit?
no… Homey don’t play that
and how do you spell hew as in ‘hew and cry’???
I’ve never seen this phrase before in my life.
raising the hu… hew… hue and cry… like raising the rabble, starting a posse, getting the pitchforks and torches ready
I knew just the last two
boo hoo
reunion party on the comment post… all weekend… bring some moosehead beer…
pft
oh come on
Ha Hubby’s home on the weekend things get busy. I can’t make any promises but I’ll try. 🙂
wait… you are going to ‘get busy’ with your husband???
I knew you’d go there after I hit reply. Pft
oh yeah… I did
May I will
………………………..uh……………….
I meant maybe I will. You asked..
right
Oh, now only 399.
I can’t even count forwards…
Now only 397 cause I’ve left 2

My aching fingers
ha
reunion party… all weekend… oh yeah
You’re welcome!
HA!
Okay. 400. A nice, even number.
not as nice and even as 35,000…
Patience, Grasshopper.
I do like a patient grasshopper…
I heard that impatient grasshoppers spit tobacco juice on you.
among other things
I wonder if those grasshoppers are so impatient because CVS doesn’t sell tobacco products anymore. Maybe it’s eTobacco vapors that they spit on you when they’re angry.
that would explain it
