Tell us what you think...

[almostwitty]

I remember overhearing a great Mitchell & Webb sketch lampooning the way in which media companies now desperately solicit comments and feedback on almost everything. In a roundabout way via Jem Stone's blog and Broadcast, here is the text transcription I shall be pasting onto all pages!

"Are you personally affected by this issue ? Then e-mail us. Or if you’re not affected, can you imagine what it would be like if you were ? Or if you
were affected by it but don’t want to talk about it can you imagine what it would be like not being affected by it ? Why not email us ? You may not know anything about the issue, but i bet you reckon something. So why not tell us what you reckon. Let us enjoy the full majesty of your uninformed ad hoc reckoning, by going to bbc.co.uk…clicking on “what i reckon” and beating on the keyboard with your fists and your head."

Of course, it'd be nice if people actually responded to comments instead of deploying the old management-speak of "I hear what you're saying..."

and what happens if his tee off is farther than yours?

It was a point of pride to always get past me, but when you drink and play video games, bad things happen. The week we invented this game was the week he and I got snowed in to my apartment during spring break. We had the following set up in the living room: (this was spring '99)

His large computer, to play Half Life mostly.

Large TV screen, to play PS or PS2, I can't remember (generally that golf game, although I remember playing a lot of FF7 and other stuff)

A smaller TV screen in the corner, that played porn on a loop all week.

And no, we weren't together or did anything. We just knew what helped us truly enjoy a vacation.

It was an insane week.

So he got all the forfeits, and you didn't?

Very sexist ;)

If you think THAT was bad, I am definately NOT telling you about the rest of the week. :P And what would I do, wear a deep cut shirt? Oh, the humanity! ;)

Okay, to bed for me till this yuckiness subsides. Night!

[almostwitty]

Oh I'd never apply moral standards. But I think you should always wear deep cut shirts. and the rest of the week sounds interesting...

you know, I would like to, but I recently got my nipples pierced, so now they poke through the fabric -

- are you still there? Did you fall over yet?

I am so giddy (see my post) I just don't care what I say!~
