I’m not stupid. I’m well aware my presence hasn’t been felt in these parts for nearly a goddamn fortnight. The usual explanations and lame-ass excuses apply.
Or as we’ve previously established, I’m crap, but honest about it. That’s more than politicians or your boss would ever admit, so I still rock, just a little.
I don’t like it when I drop off the face of the virtual earth and often I am plagued by guilt and feelings of worthlessness for not providing you with a constant supply of ready made entertainment and laughs aplenty…just as I am right this second.
Yes, it’s going to be one of *those* posts again, where I say very little, but still hit a thousand pointless words. I promise a few jokes along the way.
Here’s one I remembered from years ago, back when I was a far more unpleasant person to work with:
==========
Other Person: Blah blah blah (in a nasty tone)
Me: Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to me like that?
OP: (Bemused shrug)
Me: Neither does his fucking family!
==========
Trust me, delivered with right amount of menace and glee, it will end most, if not all heated arguments rather swiftly and as long as there are no reliable witnesses, it can’t really be classified as a direct threat, so you’re cool.
You know, I forgot to mark my anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Even sillier, it was the date of my previous post, the 18th of March. Yep, kids the hippyblog of your dreams is 4 years old. Can you dig it?
I can’t believe I’m still doing this, whatever it is exactly that I do here. We know its not really blog, it kind of masquerades as one though. I don’t really sell anything directly, though of course you can still buy my bong (and as a quick footnote, they appear to be back in stock on EDIT, but they don’t seem to stay there for long).
What started out as a made-up on the fly nickname for the EDIT forums has turned into a global media empire. Ok, maybe not an empire, more of a part time hobby for a manic-depressive, obsessive-compulsive, narcissistic sociopath with an absurdly large cock. I mean really, if I was in proportion to it, I’d be eleven-foot tall!
But I digress, as I often do…as I always do, in odd directions with surreal asides, but you still all put up with me. You tolerate my little quirks, my twisted vision of the world, and lest we forget, my giant prick.
You guys, yes you, out there in internetland, you’re the ones who really matter in this equation. I’m just the cheap entertainment, the court jester, the laughing on the outside, rotting like death on the inside sort of clown you’d cross the street to avoid, yet you all keep coming back and you keep bringing along your mates!
As way of thanks to my loyal fans, I’m going to run a long overdue contest with an actual prize bought with my own actual money. That’s right, genuine swag from the hippy, but I’m not going to tell you what it is yet, because I haven’t ordered it. I want it in my hot, sweaty hands before I promise it to the world. That’s fair and reasonable, isn’t it.
So thanks to all of my hippyfans for giving me a reason to keep doing this. If I’m anything to go by, when a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around, it really doesn’t make a sound. Thanks for hanging out in my forest and letting me make noise…and that’s where this stupid simile ends.
Oh and I didn’t make it to 1000 words, but 681 ain’t too shabby.
