I can't sleep, so I'll blog. Here's a comment from Tony, the friendly Canadian blogger:
Mestee,
I don't usually laugh when I read stuff on the Internet, but your second sign that you're not a grown-up made me chuckle with delight.
Congratulations.
Tony
I've chosen to feature this comment not because it is slightly complimentary (Not to say that it was free. That works on a few levels -- I'll let you pick one.), but because it doesn't follow what has come to be a stale formula for comments on MesteeBlogger. They typically follow this template:
(Misspelling of My Name),
(Something that is neither here nor there, as they say).
Signed,
(Fake Name)
One only has to look as far as the comment above Tony's for our first example:
Bdwarkl,
Do you want to be a Toys-R-Us kid?
Gerry the Giraffe
Or this:
Frian,
Word has it you purchased a hampster. Word has it that you bought a wheel for both you and the hampster. Word also has it that you set-up your wheel right next to the hampster's cage so that you could exercise with it.
Is this true? I need to know immediately!
Curiously,
Weebil
I have long given up the idea of real people (rather than weebils and Giraffes) exchanging interesting or humorous ideas via the comments section. After all, we all know what happened to the message board. Well, at least Hufton does.
