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!

Things I hate about your blog
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

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.
Reply
Well I guess I’m not too much of a lurker, my name and stuff load into the comment page.
I’m a random lurker.
Reply
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!
Reply
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.
Reply
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?!
Reply
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.
Reply
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.

Who is this ‘we’ anyhow? Ya got a mouse in your pocket?

Late comer to this party but have recently been born again to the “church”. Love your site Avi, Adam, Ahmoo(?)
Sorry, what was it you prefer?

Transformers!? Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Even if I haaaaattteeeee the toys? Is there any hot guy actor in there to make it worth my while? Are you in there?

Are you comment whoring? :loser:
BTW, here is my comment whoring…I’ve changed my blog. I don’t have the same feed. Get with the program, kthx. EY :heartbeat: U…but not in that way..more in this way.. :boobs5:

I’ve commented before, but just the once.
You reviewed my site once on IT2M, didn’t give me any smacks but didn’t roast me either.
I give you 1 smack, because I’m big like that
Reply
I can’t wait for Transformers. I must see it at IMAX or I might die.
Your comments cliquey? Never.

I comment when I’m not at work. It’s just the boobs and ass shaking that makes me think that people at work might think I’m gay. Which I’m not. Hello!!
Reply
what are you being all tired about?
Reply
Long time lurker first time commenter. Yes I was a bit afraid of the clique but I’m drunk now and can beat up anyone of you so there.
Reply
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:
Reply
Sadly, I am too old to understand the excitement about the Transformers movie. Mrs. Fab and I sit in the theater watching the trailer and look at each other and say “Huh”?
Reply
Tell me you did NOT just use the word clique here. Didn’t you see how much trouble that got me into over at my site?? Do you not learn from other people’s mistakes? Are you destined to repeat them?
Stay tuned for the next episode of Soap.
Reply
BTW, Am I a part of the clique here yet? Or am I forever destined to be an outside because of my anti-ice cream with Hitler stance?

Delurking. Can I join the clique now?

I want to see Sicko.

Comment whore. I comment all the time, and you’ve only bitten me once. What’s up with that?

Hi.
Ok, I’m intimidated.
That’s it, back to my hole.

Hmm…guess I am one of the “lurkers”. But I promise I am not stalking, yet!!

I also promise that I don’t really have a beard. I spend a lot of $$ to make sure!

I think that is one of your shortest posts.
Reply
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.

“We don’t bite, I promise. Well, actually, we do. But in a good way.”
In that case, bite me.

Wait… so… I can stop lurking, and no one will beat me up as part of an initiation?

I use to love the cartoon. Is it better than the cartoon?

Y not I, I’d need to see a naked picture first.
Joefish, no. You definitely get beaten up. But only you.

Your clique has a decoder ring? SWEET.

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.
Reply
I can’t wait for Transformers. I was just nervous that it would turn out shitty. I’m glad you don’t bite, But how ’bout a nibble?
Reply
Imagine Brad Pitt naked. Got that image in your head?
OK, I’m pretty much the opposite of that.
Reply
Mel, and a secret password.
HoosierGirl, it’s definitely okay for a 7-year old. There were several kids there and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. I’ll check out your site.
Metalmom, I’ll nibble.
Y not I, opposite like Jennifer Aniston or opposite like Jim Belushi?
Reply
I have just informed my BFF that you are talking to HER. Hopefully she will now delurk.

Lemme take a guess on the password… Is it “boobs”?

And Mel? :sexytime: :3some:

I’m a lurker by nature. I lurked here for a while before I started commenting, but that’s just how I am. I lurk at lots of blogs because commenting makes me feel like I’m intruding somehow, like I’m showing up at a party uninvited.
Reply
Poppy, now she’ll be mortified!
Mel, shhhhh! You’ll ruin it.
Girl, Dislocated, but you’re the life of the party!
Reply
Mortified? No way. I love this place more with each passing moment…
When can I start playing with Poppy’s boobs? :boobs5:

Hi Avitable! I actually have been a lurker of your site for a little while now. I got here through Miss Britt’s site. I’ve commented there a couple of times, but never have here. I am no longer an Avi blog virgin! Have a great weekend all!

Did you see that?
I just turned green.
Envy. It’s my cross to bear.

Belushi. More hair, less weight.
I had a girl tell me once I looked sorta like Tom Cruise. Then her little sister said I looked like Mister Rogers. So I’m a cross between those two.

a little nibble now and then i very appreciated.
(that was awesome of you to recognize that folks might be intimidated and for you to extend the invitation…yay, you!)
happy friday

I think everything really has to be taken with a grain of salt but he has good points. His current one really hits home for me in a big way.

I don’t comment because I don’t feel like one of the cool kids but I do read and laugh hysterically at your blog most of the time.
Reply
Mel, her other BFF.
Pnbzmom, I’m happy to have popped your cherry. Do you have a blog?
BPR, because of Transformers? It was awesome!
Y not I, yeah. I won’t be biting you anytime soon.
Hello, it’s only a nibble if I’m not hungry. If I’m hungry, you’d better watch out.
Mistress Yoda, a pound of salt, maybe. He’s just as guilty of manipulating facts and blatantly lying as the fuckers he accuses. Look at Fahrenheit 911.

I have often thought of starting one, but after reading all of these hysterical ones…..I’m not sure if I could do it!

I wouldn’t ever get into an argument about this as I just don’t know enough information. I know the health care system is pretty bad.

I comment every day, and have not been bitten yet….I’m sad. :crying:
Reply
Poppy, have you been the model for any other animated gifs?
Pnb, you don’t have to be funny, but it can be a good place to share your thoughts on everything.
Mistress Yoda, I don’t have any specific instances with Sicko to mention. It’s just that while his underlying message is always excellent, I don’t like the methods he uses.
Reply
Angel, you didn’t feel that nibble?
Reply
No, I don’t have a blog, yet…
Reply
I see your point. You have a lot of issues with documentaries in general don’t you.

Long time lurker – love your site, love particularly how you don’t give a flying fuck but you have good heart (or is that supposed to be a secret?)

Trish, you should! Blogging is what all the cool kids are doing.
Mistress Yoda, no, I don’t think so. Why? Because I hate Morgan Spurlock?

Melanie, I’m impressed with the air you can get!
Jhianna, I’ve got sharp teeth.
Annie, thanks! That’s awesome.

Damn I’m exhausted from reading all those comments. I thought we were talking about Clinique and I was going to comment about my new lipstick. Sorry it must be that drug induced coma I was in.
I never heard of Transformers. I’m so out of the loop. :dunce:
Reply
Mistress Yoda, yeah, I guess you are right. I studied documentaries in college, and it always seems like the most popular ones are the ones that are the least like documentaries, in the sense that they’re never presenting a balanced view.
Sheila, I think you must be!
I’ve Britt You Babe, oh, like the bitch persona ever actually goes away. It just transforms!
Usedtobeme, your girls probably think Shia’s hot.
Paticus, seriously?

Poppy, yeah, it is an easier decision as a bearded man.
Steph, of course I do! I love when my favorite bloggers comment! And thanks in advance for the addition to the Puppy Monster fund.
GDG, never. I had no idea you actually read my blog, so this makes your contribution that much more significant.

Tabz, Rotten Tomatoes has given it a pretty high rating. I mean, it’s mindless, but it is definitely fun and kick ass.
