Bloggers and commenters.
Like everyone, I started a blog to see if anyone would read it. And you do, and you are, for ther most part, a great bunch.
Oh, once in a while, a commentor like Morenuancedthanyou will do something that I think is snarky, and i go off, (witness the Rick O’Shea thing) but More was a Man and came back, to say, that was me, and it was meant in humor, not snarkiness. And I respect that.
I’ve met my fair share of bloggers, and I must also say: Damned decent bunch. Dick, a regular commentor, was a very nice surprise- he and Kelley are awesome folk, and always contribute to a discussion, even if they disagree. And do so civilly. Dick himself, as odd as it seems, looks like the professor from Gilligans Island- you almost expect him to make a bayonet out of newspaper. And come to think of it, I bet he could. Kim and Connie? the very embodimant of graciousness. And filthy smart. Beerbrains Joe- a Marine, a Gentleman, and a Scholar. Tammi? Let’s just say if I had a picture of her now, I’d be holding it up with one hand. Leslie? Harvey? Grau? COntagion? A finer bunch of people never trod shoe leather. Likewise, the commenters here have been, to a man (or woman) fine folks- even Jim was pretty nice, at one time. I have no idea if he got off his meds, or what, but he sure turned into an ass.
To all of you that read and can be polite, and not rude, in my space: thanks. You make my day, when I read your comments. To the rude? When will you for god’s sake just learn to shut the fuck up?

Hey! You spelled my name wrong! :-)
Hope we can run into ya again sometime.
Dang. I’m such a dummy. I bet Sir Fredrick would never get your name wrong.
**shaking my head** Og? You really do crack me up!
I have to agree, it’s a pretty damned good group of people.
And we sure are lucky to have YOUR place to pop into. Thank YOU for sharin’ with US!
Keep it up. Great spot for us to lazy to make our own.
A Scholar? I don’t know what to say, other than, Thanks for that. Really. It’s too much…
You’re not drunk, are you?
Heheheheh…
I dunno, I think that being rude sometimes has it’s place. Like the communists in Seattle, for example. I have no problem being rude to them. I was rude to them all day long, and it didn’t bother me one bit to be such.
Sometimes you just can’t answer abject stupidity with anything but rudeness.
Oh, and by the way, I wasn’t referring to the whole of Seattle as communists, although many could fit the bill. I was referring to the actual communist. They exist there in large numbers.
This is one of my daily morning reads; down-to-earth without being dumb. Some people confuse simple with uncomplicated, this blog is anything but simple, though sometimes some of those commenting (as in the past few days) can be quite simple.
Your blog is one of my daily reads. Thank you.
“To all of you that read and can be polite, and not rude, in my space: thanks. You make my day, when I read your comments. To the rude? When will you for god’s sake just learn to shut the fuck up?”
My sentiments exactly.
A big smoocheroo right back ‘atcha my friend.
(So… how’d I end up falling off your blogroll?)
Leslie: YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF THE BLOGROLL! You are up there, as always: “get on the bus”
Jees, to think I would forget YOU. No farging way.
So I turn to Kelly and ask her, “The Professor?”
She responded, “Yeah, you do look a little like him.”
Christ….
You’re smarter than he was. Plus, you can rip off someone’s head and shit down their neck. If they require that particular service. I doubt that the Professor could do that.
What is wild, is that your accent is totally what you’d expect based on where you live, but not what you’d expect based on what you looked like.
Ride ’em Cowboy! Yeeee haw!
This has become one of my favorite places. Love your ‘tude.
Accent? He has an accent? I’d never noticed. Except when I can’t understand what he’s saying. Damn drawl.
You aren’t the first to spell my name wrong and won’t be the last, I’m sure. I’d rather have you spell it wrong any day that have some jackass with a name like Sir Frederick (sir, my ass!) spell it right.
Hehe! Kelley was the name of an old girlfriend, and it’s stuck in my head, I’ll try to do better next time. I got it right on the blogroll!!
Was I rude? Or do I not comment enough? I don’t even get a mention… *sigh*
Then again I don’t get as many comments as you do, so you have way more people to remember. *grin*
And of course, the Inimitable Teresa! (cue fanfare!!) I was saving the best for last!!
And some others I didn’t mention too.
‘Slike I said in email, man — the people who GET you and LIKE you tend to be nice.
Those what don’t Rev Jim — er — Sir Fred, frex, well… tend to be assholes.

You’re a daily read for me too Og. Guess I should post more comments… Maybe I’ll just keep reading.
Thanks for a great blog.
“A finer bunch of people never trod shoe leather.”
Sir, you have besmirched my reputation with that libel, and I shall have to ask you to step outside!
ok, harv. Cold cuts at ten paces.
