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 
After scrolling and scrolling here comes # 44,143
YAY!!! Thanks so much. You are now a part of history… sort of
♫ Boop-boop-be-doop♪
…ooo000ooo… wait… is that a robot singing?
IT’s R2-D2
and his brother… RU OK
haha
need more coffee…
Much more
hey now
Just called in to comment from The Monster Mash Party. You are doing really well on the comments so far!
Thanks so much…
Wow you sure have a lot of comments on here… I don’t know what to comment, but as part of an experiment I cannot resist 🙂
You are now a part of history! Thanks.
oh you are welcome! I hope it helps 🙂
We got here one comment at a time… and since I answer every comment, half of them are mine… HA!
logic… have you managed to generate the most comments for a post yet?
wordpress claims this is the one statistic they don’t keep track of, but we can’t find another one that is even close.
You did it! I came here from your link on http://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/10/28/monster-meet-and-greet-mash/ Yes, I’m aware I’m a shameless self-promoting bloghussy. I’m ok with that. 😉
HA! You got in touch with your inner me… your essential me-ness… you now have a meness
I’ve never had meness envy before…feels weird. 😉
as well it should
comment
You are not the first to make that joke, but thanks for playing!
I can’t believe I’ve never commented here before…I’ve been out of the loop…must comment.
I would have sworn you had
I found my comment, September 7…but since I’m here, I was wondering, do all these really count as comments or are some more like observations, remarks, mentions, notes, queries, statements, annotations, or utterances? And for future reference, there’s no way I’ll be able to keep up with this if there are actual exchanges. 😉
All those count as comments is they show up in a comment box, right?
But if a comment shows up in the forest can anyone really call it a comment?
as long as it is pooping…
No comment. 😉
wait… don’t ever say that here…
Sorry, let me Scooby Doo it, Ro comment. 🙂
ro romment
ahhh… I lost your email address because I think that exchange happened on your post, not mine. I will just email the first book as one word doc if that is ok
Thanks, I got it and started reading the intro – you should be honoured, I often don’t read the intro until the end, if ever…yeah, cause that’s how I roll. 😉
my books make just as little sense no matter where you jump in…
That explains a lot. 😉
yeah it does
Hey, my email is brownemonkey@gmail.com
if you want to email me so I have yours…. I can send the whole first book of the sci-fi series… or even the murder mystery set in World War Two London also… and I did that mockup of the new wizard book right here on the blog.
Sure, send them all. I can’t open them except on email on this computer, but I’ll give it a try on another later. I assume the doc you’re sending me is too new for my old dearie. 😉
are you kidding… it is like a word doc from word circa 2001 or something. It might be a little big…
I kid you not. I can read it from the email, but it won’t download with anything. I’ve never had it happen before so I’m just guessing why…I know not why. 😉
because it is a whole freakin’ novel on one email
I’ve had people email me whole novels before. 🙂
maybe my version is too old
OK…OK…What am I supposed to say again Art???
xx
Sooz
It doesn’t matter what you say, just that you say it here!!! Yay
I can’t believe it, but I think I somehow missed commenting on this post…did I help break the record? Did I, huh? 😉
we probably already broke it, but wordpress claims to not know what it is… we also contacted the Guinness world record people, but they only have a category for most comments on one blog, not one blog post… yet…
Not sure I should really be helping with this.
Well of course you should… welcome to the club!
Well, you’ll either break the record or cause WordPress to explode. Possibly both… 🙂
We think we are way past the record already.
Hey, congratulations!
Thanks… totally meaningless and totally cool. We might turn this into a book someday.
There is way too much poetry in here… so, I just saw a job posting for Head Minion over at Gibber’s site… in fact, she’s offered me the job. I get three helpings of gruel a day. Three! I mean, you can certainly try to up the offer and all, but I feel like I’m not progressing as a minion here. There’s never any professional development or training, and much as I love latrine duty, it’s a bit repetitive of a task, and I don’t understand why it’s required twelve times a day. Gross. So yeah I hate to be that minion, but I perhaps you can clean up the working conditions and double the gruel rations? Eh?
Well, have you mentioned that you actually have the nerve to put your real life, job and family ahead of your minion duties? Did you tell her that sometimes days pass with no word from you at all and I have to call morgues and jails and hospitals and petting zoos and sleazy strip clubs and questionable massage parlors trying to see what happened to you? Did you point out that you are under contractual obligation to me, and that your hands constantly smell of minion excretions because you never wear the gloves I provided? Did you tell her that I limit your minion chow intake for your own good because you are getting a little chunky and I worry about your cholesterol? And were you upfront about the fact that you are now so committed, so engrossed in editing a novel, that the very idea of drawing your focus away from it makes you feel as if you are going to vomit?
Oh shit!
exactly
and don’t forget the two… at least… times you threatened to eat the very crack squirrels that make this place function… and the multitude of revolts you have tried to lead against me… or your penchant for running around naked and turning every discussion into sex therapy session… and you pathological 14-year-old boy potty mouth.
I just wanted to see the counter at comment number 44,000, so had to comment! Have a great day!
YAY!!!
Say did you have a gas on the last trip, or are you still over there?
Gassingly it up!
oh my
Figure so!
we have been home for a while
How was the trip, did you get see that wanted, or was it like all trips there just is not time enough for everything?
yes, but I have been doing posts and pictures about it for like a month
Yeah, we stop seeing each other, we need a break an a new pair of pants!
uh… right?
Working within time, i truly hope i destroy what is left of your right mind!
ouch
Yeah, that’s nothing!
nope
See you, always need the last word!
yes… I do
No dought about that!
no drought
You see, the last word!
However now this was the last word?
nope
Let’s march again, stepping up the count!
I can’t too busy this week… but soon
OK hoser!
thanks, buddy
Frig-gen you! Take-Off hoser!
oy vey
yev yo!
seriously, I am really busy, so if we could wait a week or two to have a reunion…
Sure, guilt answering!
I use what I have
Yeah, an that’s what!….?
stuff
Just stuff!
yup
Just regular stuff?
yup
What was that about the last word?
who knows
Maybe this is a bit late, but hello!
It is never too late. We still have reunions parties here. Thanks.
YAY! Take my mite! 😛
Dust mite? Termite?
The widow’s mite 😉
I mite too
All right, we need some kind of Julie signal… there is no sign of her in the blogosphere that I can find. I even e-mailed her! Nutin. What’s up with that. Julie! Julie Julie Julie!!!!!!!
uh oh
I have made contact!
with the Jewel-ie>???
Yes… she’s having a bit of a rough patch and some computer issues, but she hasn’t forgotten us!
yay… and awwwwww… and phew… and stuff
Okay, doing my part. Sorry I missed the baby pic.
Yay… you are now a part of history…
Also, you need another round of blogger interviews. You got new friends, yo! Let’s hear about em.
Good idea… After the Europe trip…
Excellent.
yup
Art, you need to do a post estimating the total number of words attached to this post. How many total posts times some estimated number of words per post. Even at 5 words/comment, that’s something north of 200,000 words. It’s probably double that. So basically you’ve written a collaborative on-line improvised novel (with help, of course) that would fit as an epic. Yes, might be a bit disjointed and possibly mad, but the best stuff always is.
I could do that… Remind me after. The weekend
Will do.
roger
Need me some Julie… any Julie hereabouts? Miss you dude!
Word
Where the heck is everyone??? Julie? Julie? X? I’d take some Babbage right now too, or some Dan, or some Masta Z in the house. If you don’t all show up, I’m going to start rapping and self-seducting, and possibly rapping while self-seducing. No mean feat, I assure you.
Knock yourself out… And up… Ha
That, my friend, is biologically a very difficult proposition. However, give me a few drinks and let me get to it. I’m always game.
Yeah. You are
Art, I came in here looking for you… blogosphere not right without you presence, kindly correct this immediately. Or I will send down the moose. And the beavers. And a newfangled beaver-moose; it’s totally terrifying.
They will never find me
Any ideas for me to write about? :I I am stuck
feel free to read all my old posts and steal any ideas and give me partial credit… HA!
Hello! 🙂
YAY! Thanks, and welcome to history!
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause……
awww… and you missed the poetry contest we had here…
It’s not a poetry. It’s the lyrics from Pokemon’s song, 😀 lol I am waiting for someone to say the next line XD
Unfortunately people don’t hang around in here as much as they used to unless I call for a reunion, and I am too busy right now… that means I have to spend two or three days doing a few thousand replies.
Which of the following do you guys like the most? (Don’t worry, I won’t spam 😉 )
Sketches/Drawing
Long Stories
Tips/Advice
Photographs
Poetry
Funny Stuff 😛
Diary entires
Others (Give me your answer in the comments!)
Book Reviews
Short Stories
I do almost all of those… haven’t tried too many book reviews, but other than that.
Hmm…but is there any three which you really want out of all of them? 😛 😀
nope… got me a head full of crack squirrels and no way to herd them.
I am not sure what to say……How’s the whether where you live? 🙂
well… it’s San Diego… so we always have nice weather… but thanks for being a small part of history here.
Glad to be. LOL.
yay
Boom-shakalaka! 😳
See, this is how we got to the number we got to… also because I answer every comment here… sigh
You have good reasons to reply. People who don’t reply to me seem so mean :O Bahaha
With me it is a sickness
😥
not in a bad way
Bugibuga!
bazzinga
reunion parties?
yes… see, I sort of invented the first blog/chat room… we get together on some weekends, and just come in here and goof off… we get weird… you should really scroll down and read some of the stuff that goes on in here.. we might make it into a book someday.
A book? You mean I might finally be written about? LOL
You will be quoted… so be clever…
You might get weird random replies to this comment in the future from my minions, especially when we have our reunion parties on this post… just sayin’…
Cool, I like weird people
you came to the right place
How many more comments do you need?
got to get to at least 50,000
Good Morning. Still hanging around and helping to break the record even though wordpress won’t tell you what the record is for the most comments on a blog post. Have a sunny day.
Okay… I have been meaning to mention this for a while, but every time I see your name pop up, I read it as a naughty word followed by ‘kitchen’… I think my brain did it the first time and now it is stuck in my head… sorry…
Well it’s the german and dutch word for ART, Art.
oh, my
really…geez
ha
it’s so joyfully absurd that i can’t not comment….
HA! That is exactly how I sucked in hundreds of people… YAY!
There you go! It worked…:)
I get lucky now and then
It’s too bad it’s the kind of thing that can only be done once by the one person who did it. It’s a brilliant idea — I wish I’d had it…:)
Thanks. I just stumble into things.
Commenting is good for you, keeps the fingers limber.
and your brain
Nope, I deliberately planted misinformation today but no one has caught it yet.
information is missing?
Noooo it was supplemented with 13’s
ahhh…
And THAT’s a comment!
HA!
You can also randomly type replies to other people… or is that what you just did… if so, you have inadvertently just made yourself one of my minions, and are now actively helping me conquer this planet!
Yep. That’s what I did. I am a Mon-ion LOL
Oh yeah!
Indeed…:)
HA!
Congrats for holding the record.
If there is a record… we might own it… and thanks for helping.
Hey there Jessica, welcome to the fun
somebody is feeling frisky
It’s chronic
and bubonic
and Teutonic

and histrionic … have a safe drive tomorrow mista
and subsonic
Who currently holds the title of most comments on a blog and what is the record total?
we think we do…
Happy Sunday I guess?
That works, thanks.
On this post, it’s always Sunday. I think.

Mi quesadilla es su quesadilla?
my armadillo is your armadillo
No, sometimes it’s Friday the 13th… like now
wait… is it really?
No, don’t you have a calendar? Bwah ha ha ha… S’ok. no one else caught it either
I rarely know what day or month it is
OK then today is Friday the 13th… unless it’s the 15th… but we’re going with the 13th cause it’s more fun
Friday the 15th… worst horror sequel ever
Nope ummm Friday now, time to visit again.
time is relative…
And we all know how relatives can devour our time.
that is the theory of relativity…
Oooops, I liked a comment…. darn!
I was wondering about that
OK, Arthur, I agree, you type too much. I’ll help you out again tonight. I met somebody cool here last night. I’ll go for two in a row.
It could happen
It might happen.
It might have happened…
Not yet. Maybe for you, but not for me.
well give it time… wait… what are we talking about again?
Damned if I remember. Something about comments.
as long as we both forgot it is fine
Shake on it.
wait… shake what… I learned to ask that the hard way… HA!
I gotta hand it to you.
wait… is… nevermind
I’m pretty cool and so are you. In fact I think we’re cooler than Arthur!
I think you and I are very cool, Gibber. I think Arthur is typing in many comment boxes!
who said that?
The cool kids.
uh huh
Fist bump! I wonder if he has more than two hands?
sometimes yes, sometimes no
That’s scary
It is meant to be
No
oh
I think he types with every iPad, iPhone, laptop, hand, feet and Siri. 😉
He must eh?!
spam
He must have a trained octopus!
who doesn’t have one of those???
Mine is still feral. And it gets annoyed at being called Inky.
they hate that name… also, Legs and Octopussy…
That’s it!
it must be
typing naked… that is the secret of my speed
You just made my Qwerty invert, Art.
I can’t tell if I hope that means what I think it does or not…
ouch… and ha… and other stuff
Aha!
that too
Art doesn’t need cool, he has crack squirrels
Very true!
🙂
wheeeeeeeeeeee
oh yeah
cool crack squirrels
exactly
as exact as anything gets around here
~ ~
…ooo000ooo…
You can meet all kinds of cool people here. This place is just like the Internet!
with slightly less porn
I think that means you still have some work to do. Are there any pornstars tweeting to you yet?
None that admit it… they are embarrassed to Tweet me… ha
I understand, posing without clothing is not nearly as embarrassing. Otherwise more people would tweet you and phewer would pose naked.
I do what I can… by typing all my tweets naked…
with your hands, i hope?
mostly
Only more scripted!
perscripted… HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kill me
And yet you live to tell about it every single time!
funny how that works
Not me, I am 100% improvised.
I make me up as I go
What kind of eyeliner do you use?
🙂
the thick kind
the sunglasses?
sure
My listing from side to side is never planned either, X.
Make a list of all your listings
You put right foot in, you put right foot out …
ha
It’s Friday the 13th… do you know where your black cat is?
I know where yours is
Pingback: Okay, so you know the post where we are trying to break the record for most comments… the one we are having the reunion party on all weekend… well, when I started the party 24 hous ago, the post had 41,724 comments… now it has 42,949 com
Ok, I admit it, I was just scrolling down the reader and I do want to be part of history, so thank you for giving me that opportunity.
I can’t believe you fell for that… HA! I am just kidding. Welcome. If you want, reply to the comments made by a few other people. You can meet some cool people that way… and add to our number.
Thank you, thank you. I just wanna play my part in the great scheme of things.
We all need to do that, but you are doing it particularly well, I must say.
And welcome to history too.
Don’t do it! There’s no way out! 😉
too late now… and stop scaring people away
Moi?
moo
Has a cow joined the crack squirrels?
their new physical trainer
Uh oh
I know, right?
Right!
spam
10,000 years from now, future archaeologists will dig up this blog and children will come to museums to read all these comments.
And wonder at the ignorance of their ancestors …
or just ignore it
no way
You’re not going to ignore the ignorance?
I can never do that
you just haven’t really tried
when do I ever?
Forever, and ever
fornever
Is Brandy butter similar to butter beer?
no
Are you sure?
I wasn’t expecting to have an unsanctioned reunion party… I need to go to bed soon… I have to drive Mollie to LA tomorrow before sunrise.
Oooops, well you did put up that post and sooooo anyway I’ll move along now.
I just told people to leave a comment and you got all minionie on me… miniony?… but I do like it…
Go to sleep mista artful delights… you have an early AM coming
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
hee hee not now… then… did you have a lovely drive?
It was 5 hours of fun… and Mollie slept the way there… listened to the Grateful Dead on the way back.
Niceeeeee
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I’m here but I am just going to stand in a corner and consider how cruel it is to invite me to a drunken party when I am on a diet so can’t drink. Well I could drink but then I would have to exercise to burn it off which would mean I could not be at the party but then I would not be drinking anyway….help I think the crack squirrels got me
You could always become addicted to crack squirrels… HA!
I don’t drink either! We can stand in the corner together and throw crack squirrels at people!
Let me check in the cupboard I am sure I have a catapult I confiscated from my son we can use that 😀
And I’ll run out to the store to buy ping pong balls so that we could make tiny helmets for the squirrels!
that idea I like… get a basket ball and make one for me
we do need a catapult for the secret lair
and make black pee X’s on the trees from a really long way away…
I’ll be using my X-rays.
but you already see right through me
you don’t have as much bulk as the Terminator or metal parts.
no I do not
I saw that. I have X-rays, remember
I have Y-rays
I don’t wanna spoil the party so I’ll go … Oh wait. I don’t wanna spoil the party so I’ll stay …
this party is unspoilable…
You’re right. Plenty of preservatives.
ha… I think
Don’t make thinking a habit, Art.
wouldn’t if I could
Well, you are too busy creating. They aren’t necessarily compatible
I could use just a bit maybe
and no expiration date
They must be potent preservatives, then.
But that must mean that this post is not 100% organic! OMG!
PMAO has no GMO… also no HBO…
I have GMO-free HBO
OHNO
It’s pretty good, actually. I highly recommend stealing it from someone.
I will hook up to the neighbor
You can pay him with blog posts
I will bear that in mind
Or you can photoshop him in some photos
that is just crazy talk
GMF — You never know what’s in posts these days.
Genetically modified funny?
exactly. But I suspect photo-shop is involved.
now and then
Knew it.
did you?
Yes.
cool
I always count the words and read the list of tags before opening the post.
how,,, anal retentive…
well, you are what you read.
butt…
That too, I’m way more than that.
one would presume so
You count the words? You’re weird X
ha
HA!
yup
I count everything. And yes, thank you.
does that count?
we pride ourselves on our potency
we shall not expire
we shall overcome
come over and overcome
I am coming over, remember?
oh… right… yay
Actually, we might not make it to SD after all
what… say it ain’t so
I thought our third gig would be in SD, but it’s in Newport Beach instead
maybe we can meet in the middle
Appropriately enough, the place is called “Ten” 🙂
why wouldn’t it be?
Maybe we’ll go as a day trip
please do
I will keep you posted
ha
You couldn’t spoil a party if you wanted to, Elyse. Oh, wait, maybe you wanted to.
it is hard to tell sometimes… ha
I can always tell.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
whoooooa.
Nellie
Hip-hop.
hippity hop…
Bad-hop ground ball through the left side of the infield.
hop on the hops that make your beer hoppy
Hip on the hips that make your ship happy.
and your shap hippy
My shap is lean and mean.
my hippie is nice and hippy… and happy and hoppy
When I write, I make sure I have lots of hoppy in my copy.
and I like coffee in my Geoffrey… whatever the hell that means
Or Keith Jackson.
Or Andrew Jackson.
Or Andrew Carnegie.

I have too many manners to answer that.
ha!
I don’t wanna
ha… petulance ill becomes you, my lady
You have no Lackawanna. 😉 It’s Erie. City humor.
Is that a lake?
Only the part that’s in the water.
just making sure
How rude of me, Mark. I went to bed after you typed this nice comment … I guess I, ummm, spoiled the party …
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Huh? Happy Birthday! Hahaha. Welcome back, Elyse. 😉
up and at ’em
Thanks Mark. Vi’m just checking in from time to time, though.
Me, too, Elyse.
Good. I’d hate to have you holding your breath for my reply! That would be so unhealthy.
Good for my lungs, perhaps.
that’s what I said… sort of
It is, I think, maybe.
indeed perhaps
past a certain point
ha
I do that too
On your Mark… get set… go
And … They’re off!
yeah they are… HA!
I would hate my disappointment to show 🙂
There’s nothing for me here, so I will disappear …
How about a drink or two while Art’s not there?
get me one too
here’s one two.
We have Fosters! Australians for beer unite!
one too three for
FY V-6
7 ate 9 then
ill event well
There’s no fun in what I do if he is there … (apologies to Art)
ouch… and wahhhhhh
At least we don’t have to take a walk and look for him
we all know where I am
I think I do. X-ray vision, remember?
now you are creeping me out
tonight he’s made me sad (oops, there I go again)
oops you did it again…
I’m evil that way.
like Brittney Spears?
No. Not at all like Brittney.
phew
We still love him
If I find Art, I’ll be glad …
art is all around you
we might as well
there is something for everyone here…
You’re right Art, I think we need to switch to another Beatles’ Tune.
Some day, you’ll look, and see I’ve gone …
sing it now
I am. Both songs are stuck in my head now.
isn’t that good… Norwegian wood?
Make that three songs stuck.
It’s a small world after all
I started singing and Duncan started barking
that is not a good sign
No. My voice is no longer critically acclaimed; it is now just critical …
HA!
flasher
you can turn away, you know.
you would think so
You should stay and play
if indeed this is a real party
hmmm fantasy parties are better than real ones.
depends…
I’m not old enough for those yet. g’night mista
HA! I get it
Am I too late to the party?
NO
I’m only just arriving now. I think you’re too early.
and the baby bear was just on time
I don’t have enough hair to be Goldilocks
how about frontdoorlocks?
I can do deadpan instead of deadbolt, would that work?
cease and deceased
Ok, I just ceased my pants.
you ceased the crease…
I decreased the cease
the decreased deceased have ceased to be creased
(or);… my hair is gray so I am Silverlocks…
And I’m kind of like Circlelocks
Roundylocks
-swings in on Anzac day- I am surprised you have not run out of beer.
virtual beer is easy to make
We got Fosters, the Australian for beer!
But no lagging
Is it Australian for something?
everything is Australian for something
New Zealand, Australian for Canada!
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is nuts, are there really 42, 229 comments? How long has this taken to accomplish?
like a year or so I think…
That is 116 comments per day. Does anyone work around here?
remember half the comments are my responses to every comment
So that means 58 of them are yours, wait…that’s 2.42 comments per hour by you, if you didn’t sleep.
Well, we do this bursts…
Explosive commenting? Commenting diarrhea?
both… at the same time
Oooo – sounds painful!
spam
This is work. I just do it on the pro bono basis.
Pro Sonny Bono
I prefer pro U2 Bono
what about Bonobos… the horniest of the ape family?
Ooooh… I have a headache, and I have to get up really early in the morning…
I don’t have to but I usually do
I know. I would never voluntarily watch a sun rise.
you are missing half the fancy sun tricks
Ha-ha. That’s good!!!
we have a winner
And it’s good for the environment
hopefully
We’ve outlasted Art… bwah ha ha poor old guy had to crash. Having fun yet?
I can do some commenting.
Yep, just dive in hit reply and have fun. There’s a crazy bunch round here.
Okay!!!!
…ooo000ooo…
Ahhhhh!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
don’t dive in the shallow end
You have to if you want to win the race. Start from the side and you’re already lost.
I don’t do races
I still fall into races now and then.
because you are a racist… HA!!!!!
ha ha true, I am working on it but… it’s still there.
I have faith in you
I’m one of the cheerleader that drops in to drive Art sane… I’d drive him crazy but he arrived there long ago.
Or like my husband says, it’s a short trip!
I think the trip to sane is going to have several long stopovers.
Ha-ha! That’s a good one.
It’s the squirrels they won’t let go easily
The squirrels? The ones with the tufted ears? I saw tufted ear red squirrels on a blog today.
No the crack squirrels that live in Arts head.
Oh, I don’t know of these crack squirrels of which you speak!!! Living in Art’s head.
Ha ha give it time, once you know him better you’ll meet them. They’re inseparable.
Can’t wait!!
I expect he’ll show up in 9 or 10 hours with bells on.
Are you still going to be commenting away in 9 to 10 hours?
Let’s see ten hours from now will be nearly 11:30am.. yep I will have slept a bit and woke again by then but I’ll be working from home tomorrow so I won’t be commenting as much.
Well, I have been up since 0530, have to go make some chocolate chip cookies and then go to beddy-byes. Will come back in a minute.
It’s 1:30am here. I’m pulling an all nighter. We have some thunder and both the cat and my hubby who has a brain injury get figity when there’s thunder.
Hope you get rain. We sure could use some here. Send some our way. To the west please. An all nighter? UGH!
We’ve got the rain and the thunder now
Rain…ah…I miss rain. Kitty and husband doing ok?
Well I haven’t been clawed or punched in the face so yepppers. ok
So things are going swimmingly?
mmm hmm
Good! Is it raining heavily?
Nope fairly lightly now. But it’s Memphis it never rains for too long at a time.
Memphis, nice. We are over here in California, no rain, no water.
Ya’ll get the showers in June right? Buckets and buckets?
No – where we are, we only get rain from November to March and then nothing for months and months.
Southern cali? Santa Ana?
No Central Valley. I think we have Diablo winds where the sand kicks up and blasts everything and you are scared to breathe because of the spores in the sand and a thing called Valley Fever.
Time for the red bandanas and a trip back East?
Sounds good. Get our swags, and go backwards. We will all have to when we run out of water. Or we could all go up to Washington, Oregon (bet those guys would love that).
There’s always Mexico, bout time we annexed them and provided them with proper water supply anyway.
True.
sigh
oh wow
Seattle is awesome
Love Seattle, went to grad school at UW.
I have relatives there
Do they live in Seattle proper?
they live near Seattle… properly…
I knew you were going to say that!.
spam
are you robbing a stage?
Nope avoiding sand breathing… I could rob a stage but the ones round here are always broke.
I am passing through a stage right now
Wellll you know, when you’re going through it the important things is to keep on going.
I am
we drive through the valley at least 3 or 4 times a year… that’s why this time I did the coast and shared all those pictures.
I love the photos you did along the coast. I think Big Sur is my favorite place – has a different ambience there.
It is a weird and special place
Bought a great backpack from a little store in Big Sur years ago – still use it – smells like patchouli.
ha
Leather and patchouli, reminds me of Whole Foods without the garlic.
ha… sorry… you got spammed a few times
right
right of or right as in not wrong?
right as in right on… I guess… I forget
S’ok coffee will fix it
maybe
some years worse than others
Does seem to be cyclical.
yeah it does
Perhaps like slight elevations in the earth’s temperatures periodically?
that is part of it
Maybe the weather patterns are just shifting, not for the better or for the worse, just kind of shifting.
spam
maybe not this year
You will have to vacation to the East just to save the water tables and all.
and the water boarding
Only in the mountains.
well yeah… we aren’t animals
no joy
too long and at a time seem to contradict one another
Contradictions? Yes, a few of those round here for sure.
I do what I can
weather or not
It rains mostly on the plain.
in Spain maybe
MmMmMmMmMmM
with peanuts or almonds?
almonds are fancier
And healthier, especially with a bean like cacao
yup
I love that expression
Me too, hardly ever get to use it!
nope
yay
I survived with only one very large hand print bruise on my upper right arm. Soooo It’s all good.
good
are they snuggled together
And slumbered, knowing all was right in the world.
awwwwwwwwwwwww
tell a ghost story
Tooo late, the moment is gone. I have a soft spot for ghosts
squishy?
Totally mushy mush
those are the best parts
we actually got a little rain
It is pouring here, this is blog worthy, must take picture. Never seen rain like this in April here.
can’t have too many pictures of stuff
I used to have an Old English Sheepdog that had to be sedated because she became overwrought during thunderstorms. Poor thing would just shake!
Wellll I’d drug them but the cat isn’t fond of anything but cat food and hubby is already on something that’s supposed to calm him at night.
I need some of that
You can borrow the hubby whenever you like…. he’s rather like a belligerant teenager most of the time but, he can be really really funny too.
ok
I love those dogs
They are the best!!! Kind of silly though, but so sweet, bit mischievous.
just like me!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait what???
Thunderous nights make the cat and my brain injured hubby both go kinda nutz soooo I sit up to keep them out of trouble.
I got that… how did he hurt his brain?
Forklift accident at work about twelve years ago
oh… crap… sorry…
Life is full of surprises, not all of them are good. I roll with whatever life tosses my way and he doesn’t know anything different.
I admire you attitude
Awww thanks, I have my moments.

Oooo – they sound a bit scary!

Hey… I have stuff going on
Yep, stuff, we know… it’s ok we had a mini meet and greet and I got a tour of an attic and a basement… s’all cool
I saw all that
I’m sure he’ll be back. Like the Terminator.
Yes, he always comes back, and usually he brings the front with him but not always… sometimes he leaves the front somewhere in the middle and we have to find and name it.
The front? There’s a front?
Yes, there is
what if I don’t like the front? Too much responsibility. Can i be on the side?
Yes, you can easily avoid the front there are after all many other sides to choose from
unless this is all beneath you
hmmmm… nope
So let me get this straight – I pick a side, and get sent to the front anyway?
No, we’d never do you that way. X after all, marks the spot, remember?
He more gets himself into spots
hee hee
wheeee he
Xcellent Xtra X’ing
Xactly
X-traordinary!
X-acto knife
XXX
ha… beat you too it
Not on my feed you didn’t …. maybe
no… but still
I can mark a lot of spots. 🙂
I can spot a lot of marks
How many Marx brothers can you spot?
I see Carl…
Ah, the Kapital one.
Kapital one… what’s in your wallet
and are people reading these and realizing how freekin’ clever we are???
ha ha the X-factor eh?
the XXX factor
Ha ha maybe…
definitely
definitely maybe
perhaps
mayhaps… X-wraps for ripped reps?
X-pats for people who moved
Does that mean those who stay home get Pat X’s?
not from me they don’t
Using X ray vision
With that all ya see are bones… you need to work on the XX rays
oh my
What about XXX-ray? That way, I see everything 🙂
Ha ha true, and since you have a whole list of X’s to use, why not? XXX-ray it is
oh boy
Ummm noooo, truth in advertising here, I’m a gal it’s even in the screen name and everything.
HA
TMI
what about the O-ray
I only know about P-ray
that sounds… biblical…
but we will only send you to the back of the front
But if we retreat, I’d be in the front!
and get trampled
War is hell. May I skip it?
you need a note from a doctor
Crap, I just realized that he just retired.
In style or did you just break his spirit?
you have to pick a side
I’ll take mashed potatoes, please.
good choice
and a Fosters
Foster home
a foster home for Foster beers?
get ahead of the laggers
It’s back there somewhere
Or maybe up there ^^^
that was below the belt
Lots of great stuff below the belt.. 😉
oh my
and above the belt too… in the belt there’s a lot of preachin’
ha… bible belt double joke score
I live here so that one comes naturally
can’t touch that one either
It’s ok, I’m a heathen in any religion
and in any weather?
a storm front
Your state could use one.
we had a few sprinkles this weekend…
A 2015 version of El Nino?
more or less…
keep abreast of the front and don’t fall behind or you will be beside yourself…
… yep and in the middle of a mess
I will try to stay on top of it
Good idea
I try to have one per day
Wow used it up early today then didn’t you?
it happens
with less bulk
and less metal parts
but more moving parts
I’m happy to hear your parts are still moving 🙂
me too
Not quite long enough, come check the numbers now.
slow but steady wins the race
Not at the marathons I attend
there you go
I’m already a part of history. But it won’t hurt to leave another mark, too.
ha… double word score
No rules against copy pasting comments… oh wait…
yeah… exactly
well, maybe if it’s in the same blog, I might get away with this
maybe
there is only one way to find out.
maybe two ways
Will you be using the permanent markers for that marking or are we talking serious tat needles and such?
No, I’m going all the way to the cave painting.
Coool whatever they used lasted longer than tats.
tats have a lifetime warranty at best.
And that’s only with proper care and keeping. I’ve been to nursing homes those things.. well lets just say… ick!
I can imagine, but I won’t. 🙂
Scarred me for life. I will never ever tat up… the fact that I hate needles only plays a minor part …
I hear you… but I have one… since I was 17…. back when only pirates and bikers and sailors had them… and it has a good story
Yes, I bet it is
uh
For me, it’s mostly the needles. And the fact that I don’t feel the need to display my body with or without the tats
mine is a reminder to never fight the government again… not in that way…
You thought the government with tattoos?
no… and I didn’t fight them either…. I reminded my impetuous rebellious self to simmer down a little
But not simmer down too much, I hope
no
best not
i’m trying, i’m trying!
that is all we can ask…
Except I already forgot what you asked.
me too
New thread!
sew what… HA!
You sew what I did?
But I don’t like to knit pcik
That was a needles insult
I was just telling a yarn
Drop pin this subject is probably a good idea
but it was a new thread…
sorry, i forgot to start one.
no problemo
and it’s too late, too
too late to two tutu>???
ok, I gotta crash… see you back here again this weekend, right?
probably.
yay
sagging and dragging
ha ha
ah ah
unless you are a Nazi and you make lamp shades…
I’m neither.
yay
ha… good point
with wine
with a lot of wine, i think
something less flashy and more splashy
leaky toner cartridges?
anal leaky toner… the worst med side effect ever
ewwwww, ick and ewwww
you betcha
What kind of mark? I hope it’s not a yellow X on my tree!
I blame Trent… you Canadians are always peeing outdoors…
But this is X. Trent is MIA
he can pee a long way
I hope not!
yeah you do
no i don’t
spam
It would be a black X, don’t worry.
that is so piratey
Phew!
how do you spell relief?
We need many X’s. Afterall… X marks THE spot 😉
and his territory
Really??
the secret lair is not always a joy to live in
More joy in the livin than in the dying… I hope… nighty night
okey dokey
Is it okay that I’m sober and in jeans?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I’ll go put my jeans on.

blue blew phew jeans
you slew me.
I get slewy at this time of night
i just get sleepy
the best of times, the worst of times, the lateness of time
speaking of which – i really have to be off now
solidarity
And freedom
and personal hygiene!
And cookies

As if it’s not challenging enough
right
or left, or back, or front… oh no, not the front!
your left, your right, your front
All three of my legs?
showoff
I was scrolling through the older comments. I miss Doobster. 😦
Me too… and sorry… you got spammed about ten times… because… wordpress…
That’s okay. The comments are still there. Which means they’ll eventually go to the post. Which means we’ll get to 50,000. And then the fun really begins!
Yes… we will be half way done
What happened to him?
that is the question
whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer?
the slings and errors… of outrageous four tunes
Or to take Arms again Stacy of troubles?
and by opposing thumbs to say we mean to bend all the thousand island dressing that fish are air two
The fart-ache of the thousand Natural socks that trash is here for
eye, this a constipation devoutly to be wished for, and their inn lies the rubbing…
Foreign that sleep of death, and screams may come,
When we have snuffed this tartar broil
and shuffled off to Buffalo
He stopped blogging and turned his blog private. 😦
weird stuff… and I met that guy in real life too
I hope he’s alright.
hard to say
He was simply using us as test subjects for his next psyche paper of studies on internet psychology… that’s why all the mind games and the vanishing act… bwah ha ha guinea pigs… hmmm guinea squirrels? Bwah ha ha ha
life is an experiment
Yeah, I avoid the dissection tray whenever I can.
we have x-rays now
I thought this was a family blog… no X-rated stuff allowed? Sweet dreams
sigh
I just saw that – but any reasons why?
Not that I’m aware of.
and you are pretty damn aware
I don’t know if we should gossip about the motives, but if we were, this would be the place 🙂
I think it is sacrilege… and a lack of moral and intestinal fortitude. Or maybe what I said in the post I did
what – closing the blog or gossiping about it?
oh… I meant him… but yeah… us too
I’ll be quiet then.
you better not
Ok. I WILL NOT BE QUIET ANY LONGER!!!!
no you will not
Power to the people! Make love not war! Give peace a chance! Yo quero Taco Bell!
Viva la revolucion!
No pasaran!

Ich bin ein Berliner!
a jelly donut…
with sprinkles?
ha… that ties in with at least three other recent comments
no… that is why people freaked… and why I did that post about people leaving when I was at my mom’s house.
I saw that post… and you in your mom’s house.
phew…
a phew times, yeah
the phew, the proud the brave
And the braver they are, the phewer of them left.

If you want to call it that..;-)
See Art, the expert has spoken! 😉
I think I like you! See Art I’m an expert!
Ha ha, see he was a bit confused about the meaning but I think we’ve got him all straightened out now.
Ha maybe for about 5 mins. and then we’ll have to do it again!
It is hard to keep those squirrels focused and he’s got “stuff” going on.
Maybe we can keep them busy with some nuts..
I… uh…

hey now… wait… yeah… that sounds right
Yep!

You wanted me too ha!

Again and again and that song is stuck in my head… I even put it on my blog to expel it but it didn’t work… sighhhh

Exactly 😉

Okay, we try to lie too much to our leader
just the right amount is the key
