I love Michael Bay

Before you get to read your regularly scheduled post, here’s the NYCWD update:

As of right now, at midnight EST on Thursday, June 28th, we have raised over $3000! It’s stalled a little, with only a few purchases coming in yesterday, but I’m hoping for one more big push before I shut this down on Sunday. Do you get paid today? Why not kick in $5? Or $500?

And now, Friday’s post:


Too fucking tired to really post anything of use, except the following.

1. Got to see an advance screening of Transformers. It fucking rocked. I was more impressed than I thought I could be. Go see this when it comes out next week.

2. I’m thinking that we might have people who read here who might feel a bit intimidated by the idea of commenting. My comments tend to get a bit cliquey, but I want to take today to ask any random lurkers just to take a minute to comment and say hi. We don’t bite, I promise. Well, actually, we do. But in a good way.

3. Go over to These Walls and check out our posts. There’s some comedy genius over there, and you might be missing out!

    My boyfriend and all of our 25 year old male friends are so excited about Transformers… I guess I get to see it next wednesday

  2. You bite in a good way? Well hell, had I known that I would have commented a lot more since I joined the Church. LOL Congrats on the total so far. I’m going to kick in a little more tomorrow instead of going to the movies.

    Transformers does look interesting, but I was afraid it would be all geeked out.

    I’m a random lurker.

    I finally started commenting last week, after a month or so of lurking. Not only was it painless, but the very next day I regained the sight in my previously blind left eye. Thanks Avitable!

    What clique? I thought you said you hated everybody and would gut them publicly if they commented without your permission?

    Did I misunderstand that? I filed the letter you sent me just in case your goons show up.

    Ive been out of the state and whatnot for a few weeks. Ive read everything but I haven’t taken the time out of vacation to comment. I might go back and be the late commenter. How did you get an advanced screening?!

    I’m not afraid to comment. I just usually have nothing to say. So today I’ll say Hello! And Thank You for organizing the donations for Dawg.

    1) Try to stop me. I’m looking forward to this film more than just about any other summer flick.

    2) What do we do if we are already a regular commenter? Should we comment twice or something?

    3) Talk about a blog that people should be afraid of commenting on… an IM session on smelling your own penis?!? I will spend the rest of the night trying to get that picture out of my mind. And probably most of the morning too. Though an AviToon of you attempting to smell your penis would make a good T-shirt.

    I probably qualify as a lurker, since I don’t generally comment here too often. However, that’s not any kind of editorial, or anything. I like your site, and if you go places I can’t get next to, I don’t read. Piece of cake!
    I do like almost everything you blog, though. So please don’t send your clique-thugs out to keel me. :batting:

    Amanda, well, I’m a 30 year old man with the tastes of a 12-year old girl, and I liked it.

    Devilish Girl, of course – I always bite in a good way! Transformers is a bit geeked out, but Shia LaBeouf actually made the movie good. He’s an excellent actor!

    Fogspinner, a drive-by lurker?

    Jay, now let’s see if we can do something about that impotence for you.

    Amy, don’t ruin my disemboweling surprise!

    Brandi, commenting on my blog should be like a vacation! I have an employee who gets tickets to all of the advanced screenings.

    Margalit, here are some suggestions of things you can say, and you can mix these up as you wish: “You’re so funny!” “I love you” “You are the most awesome person to ever grace this world.”

    Dave, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You don’t have to comment twice, since I was one of the few people you commented on during your cruise. I still get all weepy thinking about that. And that site is fun to comment on. Everybody can smell their own penis!

    Sheila, “we” means the people in the comments. And I’ve never heard that phrase before right now, and I hate it too.

    Mixednut, Ahmoo is fine, but only if you’re going to pat me on the head and give me $20 every birthday.

    Dutchbitch, Shia LaBeouf is attractive. And trust me, you’ll like it. It’s not just about the toys.

    KB, no, I actually had someone say that my comments can be intimidating so I wanted to encourage people to feel emboldened. I was wondering why you hadn’t posted recently!

    Dan, I remember your blog, and thanks for commenting again. You’re a gracious man – thanks for the smack!

    Mist, is that sarcasm?

    Erica AP, you realize that you can close the Smilies and hide them by clicking the text, right?

    Bethie, it was too late for an old man like myself.

    RW, you are a mean drunk.

    Melanie, I go places you can’t get next to? Like single-file in line at the buffet?

    Mr. Fabulous, that saddens me. You should still check it out. It’ s a fun, fun movie.

    Jester, I wanted some of that fun that you get to have! And if we’re Soap, I get to be Billy Crystal. You’re definitely in. You class up the joint.

    Mel, I guess. Your decoder ring is in the mail.

    Mistress Yoda, I don’t. Michael Moore is as bad as the extremists on the right.

    Heather, well, you can’t see the bitemarks on that cute ass.

    Clown, that’s my hole!

    Trish, stalking is encouraged. Do you have a blog?

    Tug, have fun with the kids. Don’t let them wear your old ass out too badly!

    TMP, I was literally falling asleep at my computer as I typed it. You’re just lucky it didn’t say jalghaelg;agag, instead.

    Hi Avitable…
    I linked here from Tense Teacher when she first posted about NYCWatchdog’s boy. I really like your site and have it bookmarked.
    Tell me, do you think “Transformers” would be okay for a 7 yr. old boy? He is not afraid of semi-intense movies like “Harry Potter”. He is really into the toys and really wants to see this movie.
    Stop by sometime,
    J.
