World Record Blog Comments

I am accepting the personal challenge of breaking the world record for the number of comments in a blog post. Can it be done here ? The world record is 967. Piece of cake! To start out, let's comment on why everybody likes me so much better than Stacy and Wes.

  1. For starters, I like Ted better because I am him. But to be fair, if I was Wes I would probably like Wes better. And if I was Stacy, it would be a toss-up between me (Stacy) and my (Stacy's) twin brother.

  23. Your world record attempt. :(

  30. I haven't decided whether I prefer to shave or pluck nostril hair. I mean, it's getting worse the older I get. It's hard to find a razor that small, but luckily I have large nostrils.

  31. Lame??! Lame, Abby?? Lame, lame, lame... I don't know what to say. I'm truly hurt. How could you... oh, wait. You're right.

  32. Now, this could actually turn into a productive and/or provocative discussion! I really feel it. All it needs is some substance, relevance, intelligence, good spelling, wit, interest and maybe a prize or something. Can it be that difficult?

    ...My hands look wrinkly... I think it's this dry I cold weather. Or old skin. That could be it...

    Wit! Intelligence! Relevance!...

  33. When I was a young boy, about 4, I remember drawing a picture of the Easter Bunny. My dad said, "You didn't draw that! You're too young to draw that well!" I vigorously assured him that I did, indeed, draw it.

    It was several years later before I realized he was pulling my leg and complimenting me. I felt the pride he intended, but was upset because I really thought he thought I didn't draw it, and that someone older did. Frustrating! I did it! I drew it!

    You never know how a kid's mind works. Never assume that complicated little organ is easy to understand!

  34. Also when I was four, a dog bit me in the face. Right cheek. I still have the scar, although it has moved down to my jaw line now. I did not enjoy the stitches.

    It was my grandpa's dog, who apparently had been teased a lot by one of my uncles, who was about 10 or 12 years older than me. My grandpa was ready to shoot the dog then and there, but they wouldn't let him because they needed to check it for rabies. I don't know exactly what happened to the dog, but he didn't stick around.

  35. My earliest memory, I think, it watching the astronauts walk on the moon. It was a little frustrating, because it was on at the same time as Batman. But it was worth it.

    Now we're gearing up to go again. Know why? For nuclear fuel. Apparently the moon has a lot of helium-3 we can mine, which is necessary for fusions reactors.

    Space... the final frontier, mining station and smoothie stand.

  36. I used to teach ballroom dancing. I needed a job and answered an ad that said "No experience required." Went for an interview, said I'm perfect for the job because I have no experience, and spent the next two years teaching people how to waltz, foxtrot, mambo, cha cha, meringue, bolero, samba, rumba and jitterbug. I was never in better shape in my life.

    Very sordid business, ballroom dancing. I enjoyed teaching, and seeing people's self-confidence grow. But the business relies on big bucks from widows, who don't necessarily have lots of big bucks. If you've ever seen a movie about ballroom dancing, it's probably pretty true to life. Except everybody is uglier.

  37. I was gonna tell a story about a twisted testicle, but I think I'll skip that one...

  38. If you're reading this stuff, you're very lucky because I can be verbose, and can type around 80 wpm. But I am writing all of this longhand, and I can only write about thirty words per minute.

    I think. Wait, I'll time myself...

    Yeah, that's probably about right.

  40. My first original cartoon characters were fish. With sunglasses.

    My second cartoon character was a boy named "Ted." Not so original!

    Twenty years later, I decided to finally send a comic strip in to the syndicates. I used those old characters. The syndicates didn't like it. It was pretty awful. But it was better than "Redeye."

    I was supposed to be a famous cartoonist, you know.
