I think you just had the misfortune of being within 2 comments of both, "Keep your head up, idiot." and "I hope JoePa is enjoying hell." on separate posts. With gems like that around, it's easy to be overlooked.
Serious discussion. I approved a quasi-bad comment, but I could see the potential. I sent the chap a note saying that his comment wasn't great I could see he was trying. Like I said on twitter, most of my early comments were terrible. What do you all think?
I think it was very charitable of you. He's already funnier than I am, though is it weird that it says 'edited by RMJ=H at 2:51pm' in his comment and not your own?
Also, I had no idea this place is still around. My excitement can barely be contained.
As I intimated on Twitter, the joke makes no sense. But it's a coin flip: maybe he gets that you're approving his effort, and it sounds like you said as much in the PM. Maybe he plateaus and we get a bunch of bullshit for 6 months before he gives up. But your next approval isn't going to be as good as Raysism or Steve U as soon as he sits down to write his first joke. Nothing wrong with making an educated guess.
And, of course, like others said, it won't matter pretty soon anyway.
Wow, so now DUAN is just vodotchnaut telling us about cooking after starting it with some stupid one or two word recontextualitzation of a couple words from the post?
Are the DS comments not showing up on anyone else's phones?
ReplyDeleteShit, I hope so. That would explain why I haven't received any +1s.
DeleteIt's okay IMG.

This comment just so delicious, I want to eat it up. Yes I do, yes I do!

I'm torn between "an enormous waste of time" and "a pompous waste of time."

You couldn't even be bothered with naming yourself "Guy who loves Natalie Imbruglia"? That's weaksauce, anon.

I approved the 'douche bag' guy. Was it worse than that?
DeleteNot gonna lie, guys. There were quite a few turds today, but I just don't have time to do them all. But this one is worth 10 turds.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Pornstars For Wilbon, try harder.
So I take it you're not Bruce Bowen, Karate Master?
DeleteYou shot your wad too soon. This comment is the worst thing ever. Ever, ever.
DeleteI see your worst thing ever, and lower you this comment
DeleteWell, the official Turd of the Day gets a +1, and the other two nominees here get moved by the Ninja. Maybe time to pass the turd torch???
