Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
Ahhh the Alot! It's always cool to see references to Hyperbole and a Half in the wild. The forum Allie created for her blog fans was the place I found some of my best online friends.
ReplyDeleteMan, I miss Allie. That comic was the funniest comic the internet has ever seen, fight me on this. (hon. mention to Hark! A Vagrant)
ReplyDeleteLoved Allie's blog. Bought the book back in the day, definitely worth the read for fans of the blog. If I remember correctly, it had a handful of stories that didn't make it onto the website.
ReplyDeleteAlot! So glad to see you're still rolling along :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you're doing better as well.
Yes! I just recommended the Hyperbole and a Half book to a library patron when I was on the desk a couple Saturdays ago (and another patron, who did not engage with me, was EXTREMELY happy and amused). I also sent that patron for Jennie Lawson's books, telling them that there are times when I'm reading that blog or those books that I suddenly start laughing until I cry and my husband has to wait until I can breathe again to find out what's going on.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better, Janet!
Ew-ew! (raises hand) I know the answer.
ReplyDeleteAlot is a biblical term, as in, after his wife turned into a pillar of stone and he walked away; she was technically alot.
Aw Allie! Wherever you are Allie we miss you and hope you're well ❤️
ReplyDeleteWe missed you alot.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we missed you too, Janet.
Glad you're doing better!
ReplyDeleteI need an Alot in my life! He can sit on my desk and watch me correct my own typing faux pas.
ReplyDeleteAw, that Alot reminds me of a wonderful book I picked up at my college bookstore long ago, The Garden of Eloquence: A Rhetorical Bestiary by Willard R. Espy. That book is alot of fun, though Anastrophe still haunts my nightmares. Glad you're on the mend, Janet!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteHee! I was wondering about the typo on a lot (not that I would ever point it out). Then I hopped over to the blog through the link you provided and read about Alot. Hilarious. Thanks for the read.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I still love that Alot.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're feeling better. My wife and I both had that crap that's going around, and we were running on fumes for 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteLove Alot! And glad to hear you are on the mend, Janet.
