LD, It’s never too late to recommence shitting on your friends. Never, I say!

I’d forgotten how fucking hilariously spot-on you are. While I may have been guilty of this in the past (in a blog post or two… I don’t forward shit to people), you are absolutely right. It’s good to hear stuff like this, and it makes me miss shitting on my friend with stuff like this. Moving sucks sometimes.

Maybe I should start a second blog where I cut loose like this… it’s awesome (apologies for using this overused word).

You have flexible morals and you are working daily on perfecting your vulgarity. In other words, you would enjoy our blog “Are You F—ing Kidding Me?”" at http://www.rufkm.net

And I thought I was the only one.

Funny–I hesitated to publish this post out of fear that readers would think, “what an asshole,” not identify, and then go back to reading archived dooce musings. So, thanks for the reassurances!

Bex, I’m sure you have some powder lying around your crib that can salve that chapped ass.

Hypo, I think those sources are all critical, but in the order in which you listed them.

Punk, you scared me til the “just kidding” part.

AK, have you looked into ritalin?

Shield, the sheepish reply is nice…I agree!

Diesel, you know what’s too good not to share? Cookies. Not emails.

NGIP, absolutely. I just don’t wish to see the masthead this new marketing direction would necessitate.

Jen, I frequently LOL at the “let’s get the oil companies” forwards. And then I hit “delete.”

Avat, exactly!

Good times.

Add to that list those e-mails requesting that everybody boycott major oil companies. I work in major oil and I must receive 10 of these e-mails a month. What people don’t know is that the majority of gas stations, are actually owned and operated by an end-dealer, not the major oil corporation. So the boycott doesn’t affect the major oil company nearly as much as they might think. But hey, whatever. Ride a bike if that makes you happy.

I’ve done this too. But now I don’t feel the anger enough to take the time out of my precious day to “educate” the people.

And why does everyone blow goats? Is that the animal du jour right now? Should I be considering a new marketing strategy for Nanny Goats In Panties?

Amen! People have pretty much stopped forwarding me that crap. I suppose it’s because of my winning personality.

I also hate it when people start posts with “This is too good not to post.” This is their way of excusing copying & pasting some stupid poem or joke or Youtube clip I’ve seen a hundred times before.

I’ve done the ‘Reply All’ thing many times. I always feel a quick squirt of guilt for shaming my naive acquaintances, but it quickly dissolves in my spreading pool of annoyance. I like when they send me a sheepish personal apology email, even better when they call their own BS in a reply all message.
