The Smiths Never Said It Best

And, though the small ball of stimulating talk thinks otherwise, I do believe in romance. I just don't believe in trolling around bars and chatting up women (he probably doesn't either). This is mainly attributed to my paranoia and laziness — and of course my good ol' insecurities. Yes, I'm waiting for some willing, mildly attractive woman to come knocking at my door and save me the bother of trying. Hopefully when The Onions become the next bag of brief success, I'll be fighting them off with a stick (ha!).

Anyway, I do really want to get married someday — perhaps even start another Nuclear family. I am certainly not going to swear celibacy, move to Sunset Boulevard and commute daily with Nancy Sinatra via email.

How can people commit adultery? Especially those who still love their spouses. If I get married — and believe me I want to — I will hold on to her and never let go. (How sweet...)

I'll be waiting — like the arse I am.

Stop the theft of everything everybody else says.

Surely, if you're that bored, your time could be better spent thinking up something original?

But you see my plan worked. This is the only way people will pay attention.

Yes but they'll at least notice him and smile once in a while.

Hugh said...

Ok, cringe then.

For the record (and not for the sheer sake of contrariness), I think these integrations/responses to other people's posts are far and away the most original things this blog ever did. The whole point was you noticing your bit, you twit. It wasn't for lack of ideas. (This place never had any use for ideas, anyhow.)

Three years on, I'm still surprised you thought I was simply being bored and unoriginal. As a publicity stunt, it worked spectacularly. As a creative stunt, it worked as least as well as anything since. If I could do it again, I'd do it again, as the cliché goes. It was a perfect way to kick-off my blog. Look what you've driven me to: self-praise.

I take back the twit part but stand by the rest.

Amusingly enough, The Transexual became exactly as written.

Why, incidentally, have you started making replies to posts left dead oh so long ago?

Because March totally equals "started".

Well, I went back to this era in order to do Back In Your Life, which referenced all this stuff, and along the way was embarrassed into posting a few apologetic comments (on other posts, not this one).
