Dear gare,

Your brain called and it said nothing, absolutely nothing.

And hand to god if I never see another post starting “Umm,” up in here it will be too soon.

Me, too! (And I don’t mean admirerofemily’s “hmms,” either.) If you’re trying to be a smartass and “Um, hello? Have you ever even considered” or “Um, you’re an idiot” is all you offer, either try harder or give up on smartassism altogether and give something else a try.

Do you know that I sometimes approve women-authored substandard commentary just because the writers seem nice?

Now I no longer have to wonder why my bullshit gets posted.

I second the impenetrability of Feminism 101. I thought it was just me. I still link to it on my site, but heaven knows if anyone can make heads or tails of it.

Hi Twisty. Was I ever surprised when I glanced at your blog tonight and saw my own words staring back at me. (Damn, I should have worded my thoughts better.) As a new reader, I am quite thrilled to have been quoted so early on in blaming career. But I thank you for it. I also thank you for answering my question so promptly and efficiently. I appreciate your comment section, and always enjoy reading it. So, keep up the good work, and again thanks for the quote (it made my day).

admirerofemily, I second thebewilderness. It is a worthy endeavour you undertake.

One of the great things about this blog is that Twisty doesn’t mind us disagreeing with her, as long as we do it reasonably grammatically and with some effort at punctuation.

admirerofemily,

Over the years many blamers have cried out for the very project you are volunteering for. I have great hope that you will carry through, and even greater hope that an agreement to publish such an admirable effort will be the result.
As you hoot, stomp, and scream your way through the archives, you will find a few words on um, as well as emoticons. I do not think there is any mention of humm. I think it a perfectly suitable indication of the mind given pause by the enormity of the task. Others may disagree.
Please, if you can, do this thing. WE NEEDS IT.

I hope that my 98 comments that include the doubleplusungood word “cilantroless” are eventually released from captivity.

I’m an old blamer. I just never comment because I do not meet the spelling or punctuation requirements. I just wanted to to say “hi” from an old timer – I read your blog just about everyday – have been since the beginning.

PS – St. Louis misses your Rock and Roll. And your restaurant reviews.
