Can I actually write a semi-serious article?
I have written an essay that I have entered in into a competition over at Weblog Tools Collection. If you’ve got a moment, pop on over and give it a look. If you do, please give it an honest rating. Don’t automatically give it five stars because you want to have my baby. I’m not asking people to do that. I am just interested in honest feedback.
Except for one “damn” I don’t think I swear at all. It’s actually almost normal.
It was hard to work straight. The essay had to be at least 1000 words. I clocked in exactly at 1000. I couldn’t keep it up any longer.
There were two examples of sexual innuendo in that last paragraph.
I’m working my way back!
Just a collection of samplings from the cluttered mind of someone who has managed to get into his 40's without really growing up. You won't find anything profound here. In the immortal words of Edie Brickell "Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep". Indeed. She was so wise. It's a shame she died so young. Edie, we hardly knew ye. What? She's not dead? Well, her career is.

What do you mean by “working straight?”
Is there another side to you that unbelievably has not as yet been explored?

I will never again probably find myself in the top 5 comments, so I’m not going to wait until I finish reading to come back here. I’m anxious to read your article. After reading the comments above mine, though, I’m starting to wonder if I should have crossed that yellow tape up there…
Kidding! Will go read now. :-) I promise to be honest. Mostly because I don’t know you and don’t care how bad I piss you off. Kidding again!

Okay now, what I am about to tell you is REALLY funny, Fab. Get ready to laugh because you are going to love this one. I can hardly type now because this is just so funny. And you are going to laugh. Okay, well, what happened was that I went to the essay, and I read the essay and it was a great essay and therefore I really loved the essay. I did. But I couldn’t find where you go to vote. I was moving the cursor around, expecting to find something like what Cindra has on her word games and so I moved the cursor—oh you are going to laugh—and I tried clicking on those yellow stars down there and I’m pretty sure I put it on maybe the first or second yellow star—are you starting to laugh?—and I clicked it. GULP. You’re not laughing. (Now I owe you a bluetooth AND a C-note-and-a- half.)

The only thing I care about in a person is a sense of humor. I mean, they can’t be a total uggo, because I have a phobia about horribly ugly people like Meryl Streep, but if they can’t get a joke or understand an inference or comprehend sarcasm, I have no interest in talking to them ever again. A sense of humor is paramount. And more important than a 24″ penis.

This was a great article! Ever think about entering your book into a publishing contest? Here’s one I saw today and thought about you:
U.S. contest seeks to be “American Idol’ of books.
Keep smiling,

That was a well organized, thoughtful post Mr. Fab. You should do G rated more often, it may be more effort, but you’re quite good at it.

Don’t worry i’m a harsh critic ,and i don’t
want to have your baby just your fudge DAMN IT!
Is that asking too much
Where’s the beef my ass!
Where’s the fudge is the question.
To have fudge or not to have fudge
that is the question.

I voted. Did I tell you I voted? And yes, I was honest. And yes, Avi’s comment on the 24″ penis kinda scares me. You’re WITH him this weekend, aren’t you?

That was a great article about
how important it is to have a
sense of humour.

Good luck!

Tug said:

So…he keeps “Tiny” wrapped up around you, right? Or are there going to be pictures to post that I can’t open at work. Or ever.
Mr. Fabulous said:

Shelli–LOL Thanks, sis!
Tug–If you WANT some nude photos of me, just come right out and ask, don’t be shy…
Michele–Thank you, my friend!

I would have your baby except now I have a cat, and I know you don’t like cats so you probably would never visit your kid and then I’d probably hate you. And I love you too much to ever start hating you. *Sigh* So I guess I’ll just have to let Mrs. Fab have all your babies.

I read it and it was goooooood!! Real Fab! The kind I likey!
But I had to leave 3 freakin’ comments before it finally came back and said my comment was awaiting moderation.
Techy Church Lady was not amused.
But she’ll get over it.
