Read this "post". And make SURE you read all the comments.
I can't stop laughing! Look at how LONG the entire group is able to sustain the joke!
Well played, well played!
One of my favorite comments is: "I disagree with comment #673." Like by that point - anyone will even GIVE a crap! Can't stop laughing!!

Posted by: beth at April 13, 2006 4:52 PMApologises for stealing link. Starts explaining that he would have trackbacked.. but the excuse of a failure to appreciate blog etiquette doesn't convince anyone. Realises this before ending commnent and suggests technical difficulties as an additional excuse.
Posted by: peteb at April 13, 2006 5:26 PMMakes fun of British spelling of "apologize."
Posted by: Emily at April 13, 2006 5:38 PMMakes reference to source of the lingua franca without irony.
Posted by: peteb at April 13, 2006 5:52 PMThanks linker and pleads for all to go see what a clever thing he wrote over there, mistakenly thinking himself endearing when it's just all too sad.
Posted by: Nightfly at April 13, 2006 5:59 PMpoints out similar, also amusing, thing - inspired by the same parent post - happening on another website
Posted by: melissa at April 13, 2006 6:39 PMStill mocks Emily's pain in a completely unrelated post on a completely different blog.
Posted by: Cullen at April 13, 2006 6:40 PMThat post is like winning a Nobel Prize as a teenager. How do you top that? What do you do with the rest of your life? How can another blog comment thread ever hope to compare?

That's worth a uplitzer right there.
Posted by: dipnut at April 13, 2006 6:48 PMOh fucking goddamn it to shit on a crutch - pulitzer. Pulitzer!
Fuck.
Posted by: dipnut at April 13, 2006 6:49 PMOh fucking goddamn it to shit on a crutch
Now THAT is worth an uplitzer. Which is an award I shall have to be forming sometime in the future.
Posted by: Cullen at April 13, 2006 6:57 PMI disagree with dipnut.
Posted by: Ken Summers at April 13, 2006 7:30 PM"Comment of an entirely new kind, fully justifying the continuation of this thread for another 600 comments."
Wait. Have they been here? Spies!
Posted by: Lisa at April 13, 2006 7:39 PMThe fact that the phenomenom is replicating on other blogs is a testimony to its genius.
And now I will smash Cullen's guitars.
"Oh fucking goddamn it to shit on a crutch"
You should ban Cullen. He shouldn't repeat language like that.
Posted by: Ken Summers at April 13, 2006 9:06 PMIt's a testament to Sheila's good nature that she allows banjo players to post here, Ken.
Posted by: Cullen at April 13, 2006 9:49 PMRandom yet inevitable snark at left-wing Hollywood, which comes out of nowhere.
Posted by: red at April 13, 2006 10:39 PMSheila deletes the comment before this one, cackling with glee.

Posted by: red at April 13, 2006 10:52 PMSheer brilliance. I particularly liked: [A collection of letters to indicate that I am laughing very heartily].
Good stuff.
Posted by: jenny at April 14, 2006 12:08 AMMakes disparaging comment about the sad state of blogging lately, ignoring the irony inherent in his 6:45 a.m. post.
Posted by: Cullen at April 14, 2006 6:45 AMcullen -hahahahahahahahaha
Posted by: red at April 14, 2006 10:08 AMI thought we'd banned Cullen.
Posted by: Ken Summers at April 14, 2006 10:18 AM[get serious for a moment] My favorite is still #709: "constant comment"
Posted by: Ken Summers at April 14, 2006 10:21 AMI have a rule never to post a comment on a post with more than 50 already there. [/snob]
