Seep forth. Life is very short and I will regret it if I could have said something stupid to a customer and missed the opportunity. :-) @ Ricardo — Total perfection.

I'm a sarcastic person. I get in trouble for being sarcastic more often than not. Sometimes people look at me wide-eyed and in disbelief, obviously not aware I'm being sarcastic. Other times, my co-workers sharply say my name because I've just casually insulted a customer who I believed would get the joke. I think I'm from the same ilk as you Naomi. I'm trying to be serious with my blog, but you've inspired me to let some of that sarcasm seep in. Looking forward to reading and commenting here.

He started to get into multimillionaire poets screwing over their fans to squeeze the last drop of royalties out of them--there was something there. Alas, Seth is brainy and (I suspect) bighearted, and he writes about his stuff amazingly well, but he has the comic timing of a bowl of oatmeal. No raisins, even. The Seth thing had some potential.

Honey, the whole thing changes when the joke's on Davey. You of all people should know that. Remember the individually wrapped bottles of beer? THAT, my dear, is high comedy. @ Melanie — Fucking A, indeed. Honey, the whole thing changes when the joke’s on Davey. You of all people should know that.

Last April 1st, was the day after Davey bought his new car, he lent his old car to young David including THE CLUB that we bought after the old car was almost stolen. I got up early April 1st, to walk the dogs, and when I got back I moved the new car to a parking spot out of the line of vision, and then told Davey that " I knew we should have kept the Club here". I don't think I have ever seen any man let alone Davey jump out of bed that fast. To say the least, he is still rather miffed about that, so as a recipient of the joke, not so fun I guess, but as the sender, Fucking A.

I only realized it was a 'joke' after reading Sonia's comment! His link at the bottom to sign the petition is his admission that it was an AFD prank. I still don't get it... BTW I'm with you about the whole AFD thing. I don't find making other people look or feel stupid, 'funny'. I hate prank/hidden camera TV shows. Or does that just stem from my own deep, subconscious fear of looking stupid myself?? If I want to laugh, I'll watch South Park :) @ Naomi…I know!

Um. OK. Agreed. Not funny. I actually saw that post and kind of ignored it. Not the reaction one is looking for, methinks. Thanks! @ Karen — THAT was it? Um. OK. Agreed. Not funny.

I've only just started to add feeds again, so I only had about 15 or so, meaning I didn't have to sort through much. Next year I'm screwed. @ Kelly — I consider myself lucky because I had an empty reader for months.
