Sometimes I’ll read a very funny blog post and see that it has 0 comments and think, “I am going to comment on this pathetic person’s very funny blog post so she’ll feel encouraged to keep blogging despite the fact that not a single person is reading her.”
And then I’ll click on the individual post, and there’ll actually be 1153 comments, so many that the blog author didn’t think it necessary to advertise them all over the main page. And then I’ll feel like the pathetic one, because my last blog post will have gotten 6 comments.
But then I’ll start to read the comments, and the first one is inevitably
and the two that follow are
and
And suddenly I’ll feel really good about my 6 comments and the fact that they’re always thoughtful and usually more clever than the actual post itself. I say usually so you won’t get a bunch of big heads.
Thanks, guys, for reading and for writing and for being awesome. Especially the being awesome part.

FIRST!
bitches.
HA. First and last time anyone will do that on this blog.
Like you, I always trust quality over quantity. (Probably because I only have a shot at the former.)
I’m afraid the modern brain is too small for storytelling like yours. I like to think there’s a market for long and involved tales in the bookstore, but then I see what’s selling out there. I guess maybe you’d have a shot if you market your book as stories precisely the right length for reading on the toilet; that’ll never go out of style.
“Tales for the Crapper,” there’s my title. And it would be a breeze to edit, because all I’d have to do is give it a test read. If my butt starts to fall asleep, it’s too long.
Full-color photos, please! Maybe in a tear-out section made of toilet paper.
FIRST!
Wait .. damn it!
I should’ve written a clause into the lease requiring you to comment no more than 10 seconds after I post. My reputation is your reputation.
Until your awesomeness is confirmed by someone with a name like “dicksychix” it is just wishful thinking.
Does the fact that I made the name up myself count for anything?
Well, if you’re saying that you made up those comments then your awesomeness credentials have been issued.
Hott! +1 for Photoshop skillz. I kind of feel sorry for the people whose userpics I stole, though.
You are so very welcome.
In other news: You and I are in the same time zone. I think the east coast should be afraid.
I’m so hoping there’s a freak early November blizzard that leaves you trekking to the frozen ocean in your Tevas.
Mostly because I’m jealous that you have sand and I have . . . a steep concrete dropoff leading to half-poisoned fish?
Sixth! No, really, you are awesome!
That’s all I’ve got. But please keep writing and commenting on my blog. I always do a little dance when I get a Katie Ett comment. And when I have to pee.
I could easily comment on every single one of your posts with “your kids are so cute they make children seem like real human beings”, but I try to limit myself to more post-specific dealings. But knowing this, maybe I’ll just go crazy now. And make you question whether it’s comment or pee making you dance.
I know this is slightly irrelevent [sic], but I made $74 an hour from honme, an you can too.
You can just click here for details!
God bless.
Wait, you didn’t include the link. I NEED THAT LINK!!
