Time to write, I have not.
Much busy am I. Writing time-suckage allowed not. Back when allowed to write I am. Meanwhile, questions for you I have. The following in comments answer please.
- Were you affected by the MSBlast worm/virus in the past few days? If so, how were you affected? I only ask because it completely passed me by, but I hear it caused some major grief for others.
- When you shower, do you shampoo or soap up first? Why?
- Why is it that the posts I think are my best bits garner the fewest comments while my quick and dirty posts get the most? Does anyone out there actually read my longer posts?
- If you gave up a seat on the bus or train for someone would you be pissed off if they didn’t even thank you for it?
- Why the hell are people treating this post of mine as if it were actually some sort of medical message board? It has more comments on it than anything else I’ve ever written, but I made the whole thing up! It was a joke people! A joke!
All that is. Go I must. Later see you will I.
1. What virus?
2. Shampoo first so the conditioner can sit in my hair while I wash.
3. No.
4. I wouldn’t give up my seat.
5. I’d go check it out but the post was too long. See #3.
1. Winders users suxxor.
2. What he/she said. I live in Florida, remember.
3. As I’ve told you many times, NO.
4. Not only would I be pissed of, but my swift and furious vengeance would be guaranteed.
5. *yawn*
1. The worm slimed all over my home computer, but we got the fix last night.
2. Actually I soap and shampoo at the same time. (Those extra appendages DO come in handy some times)
3. I usually read the longer posts at home, and late enough at night that I’m much too intoxicated to compose witty responses.
4. The smile/nod is enough of a gesture for a seat on a train, but if they don’t even glance at me, I stand real close and pee on their shoes.
5. Your “joke” touched on one of those things that people keep to themselves. People will open up (and often not shut up) when you open the door to some unspoken human issue. Personally though, I’ve never had an unspoken issue. Or a throat scab. ICK
1. Linux user, I just giggled all day
2. Start at top, work down
3. I read them, sometimes I miss an update and will have to read several at once, hence me being overwhelmed with your geekyness and being unable to articulate anything coherently for some days afterwards.
4. I’m holding back all the annoyance until I’m an old lady and then I’ll just take it out on everyone.
5. so that’s what those things are!
1) I am Mac user. All I had to do was point and say “told you so!” while I was not affected at all.
2) I am bald, so I don’t use shampoo.
3) I have no idea. The same always happens on my page and columsn I write. I wrote a number of opinion columns on how Bush lied. No response. I wrote on about how Starbucks is evil. 35 responses, all calling for my head.
4) Probably. But I would also come up with a mean quick comment.
5) ew. Yeah, dunno why either.
1. At work, yes. At home, no.
2. Shampoo first — that way when I’m done soaping up my body smells like soap, not shampoo.
3. Longer posts? Just kidding… we’re all sitting in awe of your remarkable ability… you make us speechless.
4. Pissed off? No. I would think less of them as a person though.
5. I’m speechless.
Bleah.
1) No that stuff goes right through me.
2)I dont bathe. I like the mites.
3)People have no attention span. Or do they? What was the question?
4) No, but “F*&^ off” is a better reply for anything.
5) Its not a joke.. just like your rash.
1) Nope, I got notification this morning and downloaded the patch at work to make sure we didn’t get hit. But I think I know a few people who did get hit :(
2) Soap then shampoo, soap gets rid of more dirt…… I think:)
3)I read everything you write. Just some days i have less time to comment:)
4)Yep, I am the same way even when I am driving,let someone out and they don’t wave. HOW RUdE!
5)No idea.. but I am guessing you’re unlucky!
1.At home yes. I formatted 4 times before I could get rid of it. Needless to say, Linux shall be installed this evening, I’ve had it with winslows bullshit.
2. Shampoo, then rinse, then conditioner, then soap, then rinse everything. The longer I keep the conditioner in my hair the softer it feels.
3. Yes, I read the longer posts.
4. I wouldn’t give it up.
5. I don’t know, they can’t see a joke when there is one?
1. yes but only because i spent all day fixing it for coworkers, bosses, friends, relatives, strangers…
2. shampoo first or else i have to start the whole process over. don’t get me started on the rest of my obsessive compulsive shower behaviour.
3. sometimes.
4. i’m always pissed off when people don’t say thank you.
5. very very VERY funny, that.
1. As always, MAC rulz.
2. Roll in the mud, then a. shampoo, b. conditioner c. soap.
3. There is some secret web/blog rule then can best be described thusly:
(amount of cleverness of post) divided by/ (relative intelligence of readers) x (available time for reading posts) = # of comments squared. Except when the rule isn’t in effect, on alternate Thursdays. I have the same problem over at my site.
Whoops, forgot to discuss the rest:
4. I mumble, under my breath but more loudly than I should: “Your most welcome.”
5. Many people seem to require warning signs before reading sarcasm, irony, and humor.
1. no, although the spousal unit was chasing it around the network at work.
2. shampoo and then soap and then neveryoumind.
3. funny that, eh? and what Jill said. and yes, i read them.
4. yes, but i wouldn’t say anything. i’d steam all day and think of witticisms and berate myself for being so damned slow sometimes.
5. obviously not a joke to some people. think of it as a public service.
1. I wasnt affected, but my friend was. I had to help her out over AIM, because her computer would shut down after about 5 minutes of being on.
2. Shampoo, and Im not sure why. I did soap first once and forgot to shampoo *shrugs*
3. I read your longer posts, bt usually not on the first day. I have to wait till im REALLY bored.
4. I would probably be a little ticked.
5. I dont have the time to read it.
1. No, I have one of these nifty things called a FIREWALL…not to mention the minor detail that the Evil Empire gave us a patch to prevent it a MONTH AGO… “Hello? Clue Mobile? Yes, I’d like to order a whole mess of BRAINS.”
2. Buy the video.
3. Heh. It’s ‘cuz we all like it quick and dirty. (I’m collecting all your longer posts in a book, so I can sell them to a literary agent as my own. If you’re nice to me, I’ll cut you in 10%.)
4. No, I’d say loudly to someone else, “Man! What was it I was sitting in there? Ick!”
5. People still think I want to ban books, too.
1. Machines at work were compromised, but nothing at home. This little sucker is aggressive, making something like 2000 attempts to attack other machines per minute. I don’t understand why it causes the computer to reboot. That’s a sure tip off something is wrong with your computer, and you’d think a virus writer wouldn’t draw attention and would be more subtle.
2. Shampoo first, then soap up. But I have a scalp conditioner that needs to soak in, so that’s why I do that.
3. Beats me, but I don’t think that comments necessarily mean a post is popular. Most people I know don’t talk non-stop about the Bible, but I’m sure they’ve heard of it. I thought your Adam Dragonheart piece was fantastic, by the way.
4. No, I’d just look down her cleavage and call us even. ;)
5. Um, maybe you have a cult following amongst hypochondriacs?!
1. Yes, it affected me in so much that I laughed my ass off with all people that still got infected about one month after a patch was released to fix the problem.
2. Shampoo, then soap. Just coz I find it easier.
3. Some of your longer posts are too long, those I skip. The short witty ones kick major ass. This comment is getting too long too.
4. Yes. Common courtesy should be returned by a simple thank you. It makes your effort feel appreciated.
5. I haven’t got a clue.
Thanks for your post, GeekMan, I enjoyed it!

1. One word: MAC
2. Shampoo, soap, shave the legs, rinse off.
3.Can’t really comment yet. I’m a newby.
4.I would tell them they were welcome. But generally, clueless people don’t realize you’re calling attention to their lack of manners.
5. That was truly disturbing.
1. Tengo windows 98, me rei de el.
2. Primero el shampoo para que agarre y mientras me enjabono, me anjago todo junto.
3. Si pero da flojera.
4. Claro me enfurece!!! Espero aunque sea una mirada de agradecimiento por el sacrificio.
5. Lo siento, no lo lei. Es primera vez que te visito.
Looks like everyone is doing this. I might as well join in!
1. Yeah, but my boyfriend and I got it all fixed up with a Microsoft patch before it could do any damage.
2. I use face soap first, then shampoo, then body soap. Just the way I’m used to doing things, I guess.
3. I notice that a lot on my deadjournal. People don’t want to be bored reading a long, long post. When it’s short and to the point, they can read and then go back to whatever they were doing without draining their minds. Just a human thing. Like the newspaper — you skim it, right? Just the quick facts. Psychological thingy.
4. Yes I would, because I’m giving up a COMFY seat. It was MINE and I would appreciate people being polite to me about it since *I* had it first. Battled for it, I did!
5. I really don’t know. Maybe cause they can relate to it the best?
The yoda-talk is quite tedious. My friend Roger talks like that all the time. x.x; *shoots self*
P.S. I like the new look for the blog! <3
