Comments on Of Cabbages and Kings: New Year's Resolutions for Somebody Else

Jaffer- Well, I can't wait to find out what evil you're up to. :)

Nanny Goats- Ah, yes, sometimes my metaphor machine gets all revved up and raring to go. Can't help myself.

Conditional Cognition- You wouldn't believe how many people spell it that way. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Unfinished Dude- Happy New Year to you, too! Re: Tiger Woods, there's nothing I can say that hasn't been said better by everybody else. Anyway, I've enjoyed some of Charlie's work-- Hot Shots, Major League, etc.-- and it's a shame he just can't pull it together.

Let me first get obligatory Happy New Year out of the way. Happy New Year. There...okay, now rest of comment:

I like how you went with the more relevant Charlie Sheen reference to Tiger Woods. Nicely played and keeping it on the green.

2010-01-01T01:52:52.681-05:00

I like the idea of coming up with resolutions for these people. I think you've provided them with some rather sound advice, though in a extremely hilarious fashion. You had me cracking up with the comment that "riddens is an overzealous misapplication of Hooked on Phonics." Hahahaha! Oh, that's was a good one.

Happy New Year!

Yeah, what Kathy said: do NOT lessen the sarcasm in 2010. Also? You are like, the queen of the metaphor today.

2009-12-31T14:22:22.923-05:00

Barry- No, I did not know that Spam was a knock-off of Treet. I think there'd be a whole different feel for these junk emails if we had to call them "Treets." Sarcasm would abound.

Liquid & Tunsie- Heh, quite right about those barrels. Which makes me think those same sorts of angry vocal people from earlier generations were writing poorly spelled letters to the paper and sending them through USPS.

Jay- Also, why do they NEED so many exclamation points that they get 1's stuck in there? I mean more really isn't louder. :)

Jaffer- Hm, either you have nefarious plans or you're trying to tell me with that chin-rub you shaved the beard. :) (snicker)

Happy New Year Jenn !

New year's resolutions ? Oh... I have already begun mine.... I have already begun mine (rubbing chin) (evil smile)

2009-12-31T09:28:57.474-05:00

Oh heavens, yes, those mis-spelled rants full of grammatical mistakes and scientific impossibilities drive me nuts too!

I reely, relly wish tey woulden do it. i mean, bunch of loosers!!!1

And that's another thing. Why can't people keep their finger on the shift key when they want multiple exclamation marks? It's not that hard. *Sigh ... *

2009-12-31T09:25:07.801-05:00

The saying can still be said that "empty barrels make the most noise" I guess. Can't spell but have the most to say...now that's sad.

Anyway, Happy New Year to You.
God bless You!

2009-12-31T08:14:21.881-05:00

Eh! you nailed some good ones. (or should I say wons like those news spammers) And though my comment doesn't say Green beans or technology - please stop by my website(s) :p

And did you know that SPAM is a knock-off of Treet? Yep Treet existed first.

I am just hoping Fox News vows to not air any more Natalie Holloway stories. :P

Anonymous- It's almost impossible NOT to see news about them. It's not that we WANT to... It's just tucked into regular news so it sneaks up on us! I'm sorry you bear the Jon and Kate Comparison burden!

Joanna- Margaret and the goats are most awesome! Thank you for stopping by. And a big Happy New Year to you!

Knucklehead- Each time I thought Alan was pulling it together just a little bit, he would backslide. He's got nowhere to go but douchedom.

Malathy- Thank you so much. That's made my day!

I stumbled on to your blog from another blog of my friend. I am inspired by your writing. You write well, really well.
Thanks for giving a few moments of pleasure.

2009-12-30T19:28:51.946-05:00

While it's still one of my favorite shows, "Two and a Half Men" is dangerously close to jumping the shark. Chelsea's awful, Alan's become a complete douche, and Jake's too old.

Well done post, though, Jenn.

Stopping over from Nanny Goats In Panties to say Happy New Year

And you are sooooo right-- "Charlie... dude."

Seriously!

Happy 2010

2009-12-30T18:10:39.187-05:00

I'm pretty sick of hearing about Jon and Kate. I hope they take your resolutions to heart. I never watched their show and try not to watch the news about them. But I hear about them a lot just because I have twins.

2009-12-30T16:31:19.648-05:00

Corey- After the stupid and pretty-clearly staged break-in of Jon's apartment, (what, with a KNIFE pinning a note to his dresser? I mean... what are we playing here, Fatal Attraction 3?), I knew Jon would have to be on this list.

Those are EXCELLENT resolutions for other people. ...

2009-12-30T16:25:18.829-05:00

Those are EXCELLENT resolutions for other people. If we could only enforce that! Especially Jon & Kate Gosselin...so sick of hearing about those two turds.

Life's Highway- Hm... Now you've got ME th...

2009-12-30T15:26:05.461-05:00

Life's Highway- Hm... Now you've got ME thinking, too. Maybe there's a way to do the 15th ides in an Every Good Boy Does Fine sort of way.

"Minerva Minds Julius' Owls." :) (Sorry, was trying to keep with the Roman theme there.)

You made me curious with all your subliminal ides ...

2009-12-30T15:08:15.900-05:00

You made me curious with all your subliminal ides pushing.

The 15th day of March, May, July, or October or the 13th day of the other months in the ancient Roman calendar.

Which asks the question: Did the Romans have a little rhyme for the Ides of the month? 13th Ides has September... or something to that effect.

2009-12-30T10:48:43.437-05:00

Kathy- Oh, no, they are everywhere. If you check out the Political Ticker on CNN.com, you will get your fill. It spans political boundaries. In fact, it may be the ONLY THING right now that unifies our political parties.

I find myself reading those comments the way one might observe an automobile accident. With surprise, horror, and fascination.

Oh, please. Not LESS sarcasm in 2010. We want MORE...

2009-12-30T10:39:54.508-05:00

Oh, please. Not LESS sarcasm in 2010. We want MORE!

Every time I read comments on online news articles, I want to tear my hair out. I'm glad to know it's not just my city that has morons who make stupid, misspelled (and often racist) remarks on them. I actually poked around the comments on other cities' sites to see if it was just where I live. It's not. They're everywhere. A sad state of affairs it is.

Happy New Year, Jenn!
