Celebrating Clever
This will be a short post, but I want to try something.
The greatest satisfaction of blogging is probably finally hitting the publish button after you have worked, reworked, and worked again on your post. The even greater satisfaction of blogging is the comment section. I don’t think I ever get boring comments. Y’all are like my own little laugh factory waiting to explode with responses that could make even Kristen Stewart crack a grin. Yeah, I went for that unoriginal and overused joke. You see? I am not the funny one here, y’all are.
So here is what I am thinking. I’d like to end my blogging weeks by recognizing three funniest comments for each week. I will still write a normal post, but I will post screen shots of the selected comments (for those of you who don’t read the comment section thoroughly) at the end of my post, and link to the bloggers with the winning comments. I don’t blog on Saturday or Sunday usually, so the idea is for these comment winner announcements to appear on Friday posts. Today will be a test run.
I will be be elaborating on the Fly Blog Award next week. As long as I don’t get burned out.

Thanks for making me laugh every day. What do y’all think about this idea? Love it? Hate it? Should I give up blogging and try to become a stock photo model? Express yourself in the comments. Mind you, I said express, not expose.

Do whatever floats your boat, your blog after all! It could be fun but it might get people trying to compete against each other – or is that what you want? 😉
Dance puppets! Dance!
Just kidding. If it does get competitive, I don’t mind, as long as it stays friendly.
The blogosphere is better at friendly than internet forums. I’ve seen some of the worst internet bullying on forums run by so-called grown-ups!
What a great idea…a melting pot of funny! Love it and will look forward to more. Jen
Thank you very much! I sure hope you stick around Jen.
For sure…and ditto. I love the community you are in and hang out on the edges mainly. I’m a bit daunted the the awesomeness of you all!
What a great idea, Becca! Unfortunately I can’t see the first comment.
Oh no! I’ll have to see if I can fix that.
Okay, I think it is fixed! Thanks for the heads up.
*thumbs up* any time!
Love it! Comments are the best, and when there are typos, it’s even better. 😉
I no right ;).
I dropped won today. I meant to say won, and I said one. I sware it’s a curse!
Great idea. Yes, I just said that so you’d look favorably on my comments 🙂
It’s working.
Now I’ll probably never comment again. There’s suddenly all this pressure to be witty. If I wanted pressure in my life I’d wear pants that are three sizes too small.
Don’t you dare stop. I will quit blogging. No, probably not, but those pants sound nice!
I won’t be able to sit, but, yeah, I can rock ’em.
Love it!
Expose you said? Very well, let me just change out of my granny panties.
No, leave them! It will be liberating, like, “this is me… granny panties and all… Im still beautiful”.
This is an excellent idea. But Calahan is going to be tough to beat.
So true. And can you imagine if he steps it up? I’m considering this my new work out plan: laugh for an hour on Fridays, have six pack by summer.
Now that’s a bikini boot camp I could handle.
I appreciate the comment, but I’m not that tough to beat. One hit to the nose and I bleed all over, then roll over and expose my belly.
Oh, belly exposing. “Who’s a good Calahan??? Is it you??? Yes it is! Oh yes it is.”
Hey, knock it… ha ha ha… knock it off, Weebs. You’re gonna… ha ha ha… you’re gonna make me have… ha ha ha… have an accident.
What did I say about exposing things?!
Wait, it’s you. You can expose whatever you want.
Girls say that, but then they just giggle. I’m not falling for that a 30th time, no way!
Nice idea! Keep it up!
David, I expect great things from you. Don’t let me down!
Ack! Pressure!
After all, you are my uncle.
Bundle, not uncle!
Bundle of joy!
Wait… I meant buncle. The spell checker changed it! Whoops!
oh come now, miss. explain yourself.

if something is “greatest,” then is it really possible for something else to be “even greater”?
now march back to that laptop and think about what you’ve done. and no cookies for you.
I hate you. So, why do I love you? I’m not editing it. So there. You win. Happy? I don’t even like cookies.
y-y-you l-l-love me? *sniff*
Psst, Rich. She’s totally into you! Ask her to prom!
I like it! Even if I never win. I always love your comments, Becca cutie!
You never know! It’s not like your comments don’t make me smile, that counts for something. No, a lot!
Oh, you made me smile!
Oh yay. Something else for me to compete for, just when I am finally getting over the ulcer induced by Le Clown’s blogroll contest. And by that I mean that it is an excellent idea and that I love it.
Take some Pepto and keep on truckin’. You got this! Miss amazing festivus idea.
Awww, thanks! I am trying to hone my commenting abilities and not lean too much on the emoticon. It’s so hard!
I feel your pain, I really do ;)! Shiiiiittttt!
It’s like there’s a little army of them and they are totally winning! 😀 😉 XD 😦
Retreat! Retreat! We are outnumbered Sargent!
Don’t worry, coat firmly closed so as not to expose!
And love the idea! Everyone (except me) is too clever by half and needs to be recognized ^.^
(Well, I’m not so much clever on purpose ~.^)
Oh please! You have me giggling all the time. It will be fun, you’ll see :).
Ok, I’ll get my inspirational juices flowing.
The brain juices, duh.
I like the idea. But you’d also make a great model.
Thanks, but stock photos are creepy as hell. It’s my last resort kind if thing.
Calahan is one of the funniest commenters of all time. He is also a very tender lover…or so Le Clown told me.
I love this idea!!
I aspire to be a commenter of his stature. Jen your asshole exposure comment was in the running for sure.
I’m better off just showing you my butthole.
That’s IS what power couples do.
BENNIFER
That’s our name, don’t wear it out!
Already I’m laughing at this one.
Comment party! I’ll bring the coffee!
That sounded a lot less cool than I expected. Fuck it!
Love this community. Your brilliance makes it better. I laugh more at reading other people’s comments than the things I tell myself with my inside voice.
Thanks, me too… obviously!
Clever, Becca!
Great idea!
Tom, I am glad you think so.
Once again, you have hurt my feelings. All sadness. HF
Harper, I just can’t satisfy you these days. Are we breaking up? I don’t want to break up. I’ll try harder.
No comment. (It wouldn’t matter anyway). HF
D’awwwwww.
calahan is one of my all time favorite commenters. He doesn’t know this, but I’ve already designated myself to be the best man in his wedding if/when he has one. And if that doesn’t pan out, I plan on being there at his next doctor’s appointment. It’s what any die hard Internet stranger would do.
Okay, as long as I get to be the one he is marrying. Somehow, the beautiful girl he wrote about on a post a while back tells me that wont happen, but a girl can dream.
Oh by all means. I already have one too many husbands who think I buried our hamper somewhere in China. I did but that’s neither here nor there.
You’re such a generous gal, Becca. But now I feel extra pressure to post a witty comment after each of your posts. Thanks for that. Its not like I don’t have enough to deal with as it is…
You know, for a long john weraring cutie pie, you can be a real pain in the ass sometimes… But I love you anyway… I guess..
Please still love me. I’ll get rid of the long johns if I have to.
No, no I wont.
Not to worry, I’ll always love you, Becca!
I haven’t been myself lately and I probalbly never will be again.
I hope everything is alright. If you need to talk I am your gal!
Thanks.
The community to me is the best part of blogging.
A whole bunch of bloggers (including me) do shout outs like that.
It’s nice to point out those that catch our eye and share it with everyone else.
Go us! Best community on the internet hands down.
The comments really are my favorite part because there are so many clever, funny people. That Calahan leaves some of the best! What a hoot that guy is.
I know right?! He is the one who prompted this whole idea actually.
lol this was awesome I needed it this morning
Good. Thanks D.
