Comments

There are two parts to every post on this blog. There's the wonderful post by yours truly, and the mediocre comments by you peoples. (Disclaimer: I love comments gimme more.)

I've taken the time to categorize the comments that appear on this blog of mine.

Relation to Self

These comments take a line from my post, and relate it to the commenter’s own life. For example, if I made a post about giraffes and mentioned their blue tongue this would be a potential comment.

“I have a tongue too! Funny story actually… BLAH BLAH BLAH … tongue… BLAH BLAH BLAH”

Looking Smart

Another type of commenter loves to make themselves feel smart, so they’ll try to show off at every possible moment.

“There are actually 365.25 days in a year, not 365.”

“Actually, giraffes have blue tongues because… BLAH BLAH BLAH”

Debates

Some comments found on blogs serve as a launch pad into a discussion/debate about something related to the original post. These are usually the most intelligent comments. These are not found on this blog. There are no intelligent comments here.

Praise

There are comments that heap praise onto my posts. These comments are also called lies. If I don’t think about it too hard though, I believe they are true and then I feel good about myself.

Criticism

You will not find these comments here. I delete all of them right away.

Being Witty

I understand these comments. My posts are witty. You feel inspired to be witty too. You produce a one liner that displays your level of…wit. And yet, this can sometime backfire. This comment is taken from the previous post about giraffes.

blogcomment

The response isn’t pretty. The lesson here? Don’t try to be witty if you’re not. And make sure no one knows who you are if try anyway.
