FICKLENESS, n. The human condition, as measured by blog stats.

Speaking of blogs, I saw a reference the other day to "Internet grammar and spelling". And then, today, I saw this. Present company not included, of course, but still I couldn't help passing it on.

I know, I know, I otter not.

Al, you are Baron Pun. As long as it's consensual.

Do you still feel that way, Poobah?

Come on, Sis. Like a cat would care if I liked it.

Mule, I started with "A collusion among whimsy, indifference and creativity" then changed my mind, figured animal metaphors are as good as anything else and picked the otter.

Kyah, otters smear themselves, bless their furry little hearts.

G, just so you don't polish them.

Jenn, a new standard every week?

Theresa, that was one of the best pickle jokes ever.

Back to teaching, Quillie?

Terry, you when the prize for figuring whence today's word. One of the fires split in two and was North and South of me this morning. My disappointed dogs thought they were gonna get barbecued rabbit.

How often is that, Nessa?

10 merit points, Morgan. That was funny.

Mutha, nothing is naughtier than pickleness.

Amoeba, there is no "internet grammar and spelling." There's right and wrong dagnabit! (I get a little crotchety on this subject- y-o-u does not need an abbreviation!) Nice catch, buddy.

Sure, Actonbell. You say that now.

fickleness: frightful fowl! Sorry, I meant flightful fowl.

Doug The Una said...

Nessa, only your hairdresser knows for sure.

Morgan, you're testing me. Where's the snorkel?

Jamie Dawn, that's consistency in transit.

Ah, Pia, isn't it better, though, when faith replaces reassurance?

Mireille, was that French?

Good one, Pansi. I wouldn't miss our heavenly date for the world.

Cooper, it's surprising how little difference so many letters make, isn't it?

Jim, you mean to your wife?

Minka, I have no idea what you mean by Chinese personality but I'm pre-amused.
