Disturbances in the blogforce

I've dissected the blogosphere before here here and here and I thought I had pretty much covered it all. Apparently not.

Honestly I'm a pretty conservative person overall. I might sprinkle profanity here and there or talk about weird family stuff, but I think pretty much everyone here knows what to expect from me.

Sometimes I'll click on a recommended link or go check out a new commenter's blog and it will completely disrupt my brain functions. I want to be polite and leave a comment, but for the first time in my life, I'm at a total loss for words.

I'll read it a second time thinking maybe I skipped a punchline or the part where they dropped the LSD but usually to no avail.

Let me give you an example.

"Well I was totally like colonic irrigation you know! Woooo! It was like snowflakes! I didn't know he was into purient pet catalogs shazam! It was completely fergilicious...you know what I'm sayin?"

I scratch my head and wonder if it's some kind of secret code.

Then someone will invite me to their blog and when I visit there is an "artsy?' pic of a woman with her legs spread wide open and the blog entry goes like

" then he stuffed the can of creamed corn into my quivering mound of love jello"

Sorry...I'm not hungry anymore. click!

Then there's the folks that read that I'm a free thinker, vegetarian and automatically assume I'm some hippie dippy peacenik Barak Hussein Obama koolaid drinker.

"we must stop this unjust war at any cost..I would rather they kill me and my family before I would raise my hand in anger to take another human life. When they rape and torture it's Bush's fault be cause he oppressed them."

When I read shit like this it makes me glad I have a trash can handy so I can puke in it.

Ahhh ... Hammer ... As usual you quenched my need for daily humor.

I want to be polite and leave a comment but for the first time in my life, I'm at a total loss for words.

This happens to me more often than I'd like to admit. Not only can I not find the words to say, but I'm almost afraid that if I do leave a comment they'll come back and my blog comments will start reading like their blog!

Amen, brother. Though I do find that many blogs have an agenda and its not always apparent right away. Sometimes makes you want to go screaming into the night.

I have many sites that I check out every day just to see what the freaks are going to say next. It is amazing how crazy people can be.

Well if that's the case I feel a tad unpopular. I don't think anyone has ever specifically asked me to nip over and read their blog. What's your secret?

I'm sorely disappointed to learn that you're not really a hippie dippy peacenik - what a blow.
Cheers

LOL

Colonic irrigation like snowflakes?? I don't think there is a proper translation for that?!?

I think they meant "prurient" but who can say? Not me, but then I'm a "liberal fucktard"

I just realized I read all kinds of blogs, from artsy to melancholy to downright bizarre. I just don't like the day to day stuff, like how you brushed your teeth or ate breakfast, unless something crazy happened to you while you were in the bathroom or something creepy landed in your Cream of Wheat.

I rarely laugh out loud when I'm reading anything, but you make my kids ask, "what's so funny?" EVERY TIME I pop in here. Unfortunately, I can never share your stories with them. Well, not yet anyway. :)

hammer - as usual, you put everything into the proper perspective.

i went to a site once and got all engrossed in a story the person was telling, only to find that the carhop dropped her change into her lap and the story just got worse - i hit the delete/escape/get me the farg out of here button so my kidz don't read this in the morning button so fast - then i realized there's a "delete history" button!

some people are so misleading as to be criminal about it. as for your site - we all know that with you we get honesty and if we don't like it, we don't have to return.

this is one of the best sites on the planet!

What's even worse, sometimes, is to see who links to you and what they claim...at least in my case. One liberal who needed a glass bellybutton installed posted links to some of my posts about the idiocy that is "deliberative democracy" and claimed his comments and my replies led him to believe he was making a believer of me.

I'll bet with your blog, you get a lot of random links that belong to strange viewpoints.

Can you use words like Jiggy? Will Smith came up with Jiggy, so it must be a good word right?

Stay tuned for my view of the fabulous Illegal Mexican Empire at the Hurt Locker!

I just snorted my tea by accident while reading your diagnosis - I must have missed that one! Which one am I? Oh I hope I might be the undiagnosable one... :)

I have deleted blogs recently that have been on my reading lists for YEARS because of sudden vulgarity or posts that confuse me so much I wonder if that person only blogs while they're drunk & high. Maybe it IS a new language. Maybe we aren't hip enough to get it?

I guess "I cannot be nailed down with labels" should be the first clue, eh?

I think it's just further proof that our civilization is picking up speed as it circles the toilet bowl.

Is it creamed corn or quivering mound of love jello that you object to?

HOWDY!! Glad to hear from you. I am way out the loop with my visiting these days. LIFE outside of the Blogosphere keeps getting in my way. I am fighting it though!

Thanks for your question - I will answer and link to you in a post soon!

Take Care Hammer!

Thank you debbiekinil, I am stupider for having read that. It was like a smorgasbord of words with absolutely no meaning whatsoever. I felt my IQ dropping point by point with every disjointed line.
All of a sudden I don't think I want my own pet troll.
