101 things you can do on that post where we are trying to break the record for the most comments on a WordPress post… even though WordPress can’t or won’t tell us exactly what that record is… but all of these ideas have been tested and they work, and now that I think about it, I might as well try to break the record for longest title on a WordPress post because for some reason, WordPress seems to give us unlimited room on the topic wall pages when it comes to the titles… and that sounds like a loophole, if you ask me… oh, and the comment post now has 28,078 comments on it, if you care, which is way more than some posts that went viral because the post was about something so nasty that people had to visit it just to insult the writer… and we did all of ours with love and rainbows and unicorns…

If you don’t care about the fish, you might as well learn something about me…

So I am reposting another of my very early posts… that happens to contain some of my very early art… It was originally titled: More ancient history… uh, the post was originally called that, not the art… if you see what … Continue reading

There I am, swimming around in the waters off Maui, trying to match up fish with the pictures on my dive card… and I must say that I am not thrilled by the way my neck looks all wrinkly… I … Continue reading
