Simply put, I love comments. Even negative comments. I love attention. Even negative attention. I guess that’s just one of the things I have in common with Paris Hilton.
Anyways, here are my favorite reader comments from June, 2008.
BEST COURTEOUS COMPLIMENT REGARDING COMPLETELY OFFENSIVE POST
From: Missy on The Real Thing
I was in desperate need of inspiration, and thanks to this blog I wrote a rubaiyat. Thank you Ian, for helping me be one step closer to finishing a poetry project.
No problem. I have a feeling that is one provocative rubaiyat.
BEST EVIDENCE OF SOMEONE LEARNING SOMETHING IMPORTANT FROM MY BLOG
From: Tracy on Vlog I: American vs. British Guys Picking Up On Girls
Wow, Ian… this made me stitch up in the sides. Becky should try out some cheap beer and semi-automatic weapons haha
Clearly.
BEST CONTRIBUTION OF IDEAS FOR FUTURE CONTENT
From: Alden on Vlog III: Gossip Vision,
another great video, although it seems like the end of the video would segue into your next VLOG…. Dancing With Euro-Trash Is a Pain…
“Dancing With Euro-Trash Is a Pain.” I almost don’t even know what to say to that, Alden. I’m surprised you would just give away an idea like that for free. You’re a good man.
BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF REALITY
From: Ally on Vlog III: Gossip Vision
Is there a way that I can make the dance portion of the video my screensaver?
So hot, that I felt the need to tuck some Washingtons in your pants. LOL.
Happy to hear that. Although, just so you know, you don’t really need Washingtons to tuck your hands in my pants.
BEST HISTORY LESSON
From: Alex on Afterthoughts On What Happens In Vegas
Right. It was released when they came off the trip in the 80s, and discovered that, while tripping, they have written several albums worth of music.
Authoritatively written. Drug references. Probably completely untrue. I like it. Clearly you have what it takes to write an ifitfeelsgooddoit.com blog entry.
BEST EVIDENCE OF NOT READING ENTIRE POST DUE TO EXTREME JEALOUSY CAUSED BY PHOTO WITHIN IT
From: thebaglady on More Afterthoughts On What Happens In Vegas
Actually the light isn’t really on her face, so she could be ugly for all I know. This is ex-ex-gf’s gf right?
What? And What? You might want to try taking a few deep breaths and actually reading the post before commenting next time.
BEST MULTIPLE-CHOICE PHOTO-CAPTION STYLE COMMENT
From: Allen on There’s No Tomorrow II
The space in these photos has been cleared for:
A) The Guinness World Record for a long line of cocaine
B) Fucking…and lots of it
C) Health reasons
D) The RBL (Real Biker Lifestyle)
E) Anything Ian feels like
I’ll have to get back to you on that one, Allen.
BEST TYPE OF COMMENT
From: Missy on There’s No Tomorrow
Since you’ll be in Vegas this weekend you’re missing out on thigh high red boots. So sad. It’ll be less of a creative writing reunion without you.
If you haven’t left for Vegas by the 26th, I’m working in the office in San Mateo all day.
Also, if you’d want to go back to Ruby Skye soon… it’s part of my drunken birthday shenanigans tour.
I love comments that are invitations. I love invitations that are invitations to go get drunk.
BEST CAREER REGRET BASED ON BLOG ENTRY
From: Jon on The PPP
That is pretty hilarious. . .
maybe I should have taken that interview at Pixar
No doubt. Apparently they hand out the PPP during the new-hire orientation. But if you don’t actually work for Pixar you can still resort to what me and Motley Crue do: name-dropping no-names.
BEST ART-APPRECIATION COMMENT
From: thebaglady on Back For More
This part is very lyrical: “No need to be sad. I’m glad you are fallen. I’m glad that we can be together. I’m glad I have something to hold on to while I pound you from the rear.”
Though I’m not sure if you were hallucinating.
Thanks! You write the melody.
BEST COMMENT, PERIOD
From: Alden on Nothing Like Getting Thrown Out Of A Bar, Literally
Thrown out of a bar -
“I will beat your FUCKING ASS”
is all that I said.
It’s a haiku. It’s a comment. It’s the reason I made this “Favorite Reader Comments” post.

Redundant to say,
in a comment on comments,
I like the comments.
2 Ross // Jul 2, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Fucking A. I didn’t make the “cut”. You bitch!
Pick one of my 2 extremely stupid comments and put that in there with some witty shit for “best of”… FUCK! jezz…
3 Allen // Jul 2, 2008 at 5:41 pm
I’m thinking about working on my candidacy for worst comments now. Hm…
4 Ian Bowman // Jul 3, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Allen - Lay off the peyote and stop tripping out so much. In other words, don’t be like me.
Ross - HAHA. That comment is going to make the July edition for sure.
5 The Baglady // Jul 3, 2008 at 5:21 pm
YES! I beat Ross!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!! I thought Ross’s comment about reading Ian’s blog while writing code was pretty good, though.
6 Ian Bowman // Jul 8, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Baglady - That was good, but it was in July.
