ATTN: Rabid fans everywhere
Let’s play a game. It’s called “If you don’t like my blog entries, DON’T READ THEM!!!”. That’s right. I’m not twisting your arm. I write them because I enjoy rambling about crap, not because I’m expected to write anything and certainly not to “make excuses for myself” as one lovely fan pointed out. I don’t write them for anyones benefit.
As such, e-mails on how to improve my entries will be ignored.
“Bitter and self-defensive” is the order of the month when it comes to humour. I think I’m being funny when I write the way I do. Other people possibly won’t, but at least I get a chuckle out of it. Which is all that matters, when you think about it.
In any case, don’t take anything I write here too seriously, because if I had a genuine grievance or actually some serious and personal to say I wouldn’t announce it publicly. Although by looking at recent threads on CommCate you think it was the latest craze.
Fear not, kind people. I’m not bitter, I’m just seeing how far I can push humour in the form sarcasm and cynicism.
Incidentally, old people here smell like urine… or something. The bus to Limerick is an hour and a half, and quite unlike me, I often get motion sickness. The end result is 90 minutes of trying not to throw up, and it makes it unbearably difficult when some old smelly man sits next to you. Seriously it’s the second time it’s happened. It’s just so damn offensive, and I really have to concentrate to keep my stomach contents where they are.
It can’t be that hard, can it? I don’t even have a proper shower — I have some stupid little fitting that I use for about 180 seconds everyday and I smell just peachy. At least I hope.
The point is old people are possibly lazier than me if they can’t much a pathetic three minutes under a dribbling tap.
And that, is a comforting thought.
I think.

For what its worth, I find you mild cynicism amusing.
I am pondering whether posting this grievance in fact, counteracts the point of the post, but I think I am maybe thinking too hard today.
Perhaps the old people get so sick of showering under zero pressure all their lives that they give up at 60 resigned to their stinky destinies. Or maybe its just the people from Limerick. I seem to recall Limerick on the whole, smelling rather.. funky. Is that a buffyism? Hmm thinking too much. Shannon Out.

I reckon, you could hide a really offensive comment back amongst the older entries and no one would ever notice.
Would they Jackson? Ultima VII SUCKS! Sucks big rocks! Ha! And Farscape’s a lame-ass rip-off of Blake’s Seven! So there!

Tsk. Despite what I said, I was actually kind of hoping someone WOULD notice.

Well, duh. But a distraction wouldn’t be a distraction unless you weren’t. Or something.

Farscape is clearly a Buck Rogers rip-off – it’s nothign like Blakes 7. Honestly you can’t even insult properly.
Not that you’ll ever read this.

Well, the criticism was designed to provoke you to reply. If it had been accurate, why would you have bothered answering?
