I recently came across a post at FruitFullTime, the internet’s most trusted authority in the field of professional produce, which proclaimed the many benefits of instilling feelings in your audience.
Which led me to wonder what feelings I am instilling in my readers. Desperation? Loathing? Giggiliness? Giggilomania?
The answer of course, is none:
After all, why instill emotion when you can install it?
“So what shall we put in today Sam, ‘Elation’ or ‘Irrational Attachment’?”
Happy Friday everyone.
Watch for more excitement this weekend and a brand new adventure next week.

See me at Alltop
Also watch out for humor-blogs.com. I am still over there, I think.

Go with the “been hurt so many times, but still pluckily optimistic” package.
That one always makes me giggle.
Oh… My… Gawd.
I see you’ve chosen to install… redwood decking?
How.. very.. SUBURBAN of you!
And the header, wow. What is that, some sort of Bloodshot-Comma-Vision-Cam?
You’ve made me afraid.
Very, very afraid. (and yet, oddly, not speechless)
Well look at you in your fancy new digital pants.
The new look instills feelings of stimulation in me, I must say. But then, I am in that particular state at least 99% of the time.
Like the new theme!
What a great surprise! I really like the confident, edgy comma in red. He is more fierce and effective in his new “Diggs”!
Have I already mentioned I love the new look?
Seems like the real rage to install these days is conformity. I see it everywhere…
Today’s Sponsor sayings are so clever. I really enjoy reading them. They are so good in fact maybe you should put them in your header (?) above the page of linktrolling goodness. Just a thought.
Installing emotion sounds like a new technique the “good” Doctor T would love to perform on his unsuspecting patients. He would probably lie and say he could only install one emotion at a time…y’know to keep us coming back for more…
Uhm…. what happened? Who authorized this? I’m off on a routine secret trebuchet mission for three days and I have to come back to all these changes?!!! There must be blood!! Ok, the red in the banner will do.
Well, at least it looks nice. Is that banner done on rolling paper?
I’m not sure I deal well with change. This may take me a bit to adjust. Just give me a little time.
Just wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my post “boys will be boys”, I liked it and it restored my faith in your gender.
I’m still working on it.
Okay, I was up all night but I have managed to almost completely carpet over the decking with inky blackness.
As for the header, that’s what it looks like when viewed through the First Person Writer game that is my life, while simulataniously suffering the pain and hit-damage of corperate meetings.
Thank you, Jeff. I really like it.
I was hoping this one would cooperate better with a larger range of browsers, but having just pulled it up upon the glorious IE ver 6 I am saddled with at work, I see it still looks like the scene of an explosion.
The easiest thing would be to ban Internet Explorer altogether but I’m sure that would incur the wrath of an army of Microsoft Ninja-Lobbyists and their zombie LOLcat minions.
I am much too tired today to deal with the likes of them.
So it IS Comma-Vision!!! I like it. Very Ominous, what with the red and black. I suppose it could also be Black Cherry Jello vision, though that might bring back the squirrel and moose….
PS: I was only kidding about the suburban redwood decking, you know – trying to lay the groundwork for a wealth of SUV and soccer mom jokes, all of which seem to be escaping me at the moment.
That’s just the tax relief program already at work upon your personal economy, which is even more impressive seeing that you are not particularly American.
Well, the real advantage of the Comma Emotional Installation Plan is that with our qualified technicians you will receive precisely the same conformity as all our other satisfied customers.
“The Ominous Comma- Emotional Engineering at its Finest.”
And to continue to pick our pockets!
I have managed to raise them a bit, is that better?
Dr. Toboggans usually relies on hypnosis. Not because it’s cheaper or less prone to infection, he just hates to get his hands dirty.
But if he could sub-contract the actually surgery….
I also think that the look is quite ominous. I can no longer look upon this site without turning on a few extra lights.
Thanks for the reassurance Tori, your comment came on the heels of a flood of commentary from my teenage offspring informing with great insistence that the wood grain was an affront to all sense of style in people everywhere.
They also said it could cause psoriasis, power outages, and visits from roving poodle groomers.
I simply couldn’t take any chances.
Thank you Debbie. I like it too.
And the “Diggs” joke….funny every time.
I agree with Chris-non-C on this. I go out of the country for one minute and you change the whole site! Clearly you can’t be trusted!
Speaking of trebuchets, while I was in Canada they did mention that they don’t want all those celebrity has-beens launched over the border, so could you please knock it off?
It was the least I could do. Around here we’re all about restoring faith.
Rehabilitating hope and Renewing conviction are an additional charge however.
You know for ice-locked, beer-swilling stereotypes, Canadians sure are touchy.
Tell them that after we toss Jerry Springer we’re though.
I’m sure local restaurant personnel appreciate your aversion to change, it means bigger tips for them.
We’re probably sending checks to the English as well. It just means running the presses at the mint for a few hours more.
They’ll have to settle for dollars, I don’t think we’re set up for pounds.
I thought it appropriate even if it lacked originality.
