That was a good post. Grats to guy I don't know and may never see post again!

How come I never get comment of the week? Remember that time I said that one funny thing? *le sigh*

Less

@Graham - No! You've gone all meta and lazy, with your "...something about erectile dysfunction..." -type posts. Get your head back in the game, son!

tl;dr

I'm a "Joneser"? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Oh well, I've been called a lot of things lately, that's not the worst, I'm fine with it. *sob*

CotW is interesting, but only that. It's the community theater of commenting. It needs something more. It needs to go pro to get take it to the next level. Put some scratch behind it, or at least some meaningful freebies. It doesn't have to cost much. Combine an offer of couch surfing, a bucket or two of day old doughnuts, tickets to second run movies and a case of Pabst, and you can live the Portland lifestyle for a week.

^LOL portland hipster joke

That whole thread was gold, what with Vince committing total PR seppuku.

I agree cat & beard. The only thing I got out of Vince's posts was that he's the human equivalent of "Grow Your Dick" banner ads and Viagra spam.

Apparently it's going to cost me $18,400 to have that thread tattooed as a scroll that wraps around my body from my chin on down.

It only cost $80 to have it printed on to a blanket to keep me warm at night, but I'm having a little more difficulty turning it into food that will actually sustain me.

My nutritionist team is on it, though, no worries.

It was just a typo? I'm not a Joneser after all? WOO-HOO!!! Victory Gin all around. Thanks, Alison.

No offense, Joneser.

Kudos to this commenter.

May I suggest though, that the Mercury post these 'best of' re-hashings in a font size that's legible without a microscope? I'm still young, I shouldn't feel like a myopic geezer trying to read this action.
