Dear TypePad

How have you been? Haven't see you around much lately.

Just wanted to write brief note to say thanks, but somehow cliche expressions like "Thanks for everything" could never adequately convey my deep sense of gratitude, so I want to go over a few of the things you've done for me lately and thank you for each of them individually.

First of all, thanks for giving me a break from posting to my blog, or for that matter reading any other TypePad blogs for the last 16 hours or so. I needed a break from posting, and eliminating TypePad blogs from my reading choices allowed me to focus on all the great non-TypePad blogs out there.

I also want to thank you for helping me to slow down and enjoy the process of saving posts. Up until a couple of months ago I would just click on the "Save" or "Preview" buttons and I'd be done, but now that saving or previewing posts can take as much as five minutes each and every time I try it, I've learned to enjoy the little things in life more, and I've learned a lot, too.

For instance, I never noticed that a little hourglass appears next to my cursor when my computer is hung up for some reason (like when I'm saving or previewing a post). At first I thought I could see sand flowing through it, but after watching it closely for another forty minutes or so I decided I was just hallucinating because of lack of sleep.

By the way, did you know Carson Daly has his own TV show? Yeah, it comes on at 1:30. AM. I might never have known if it wasn't for you, so thanks.

And, finally, I want to thank you for taking the time to wipe all of those stupid graphics off of the front page of my blog. I don't know what I was thinking when I uploaded those, but I must admit that the blog looks much better now that a lot of them have been replaced with "Images being restored this weekend."

Anyway, I've got to get started on saving this post, so thanks again. And don't be such a stranger.

Your paying customer,

John from WuzzaDem

Your blog was down?

Huh.

[Vinnie]

Do you desire a Mu.Nu nomination?

[SGT Jeff (IRR)]

You'll be happy to know that DilbertBlog was also hit...

[John from WuzzaDem]

Dodger - You never read this blog, so you wouldn't have noticed.

Vinnie - I'm too lazy to move. I've actually been pretty happy with TypePad, they've just been having "issues" lately and I needed to vent. BTW, you have to be nominated to move to Mu.Nu?

Sgt - Yeah, he's also on TypePad. I'm not a big Dilbert fan, but I like Comics Curmudgeon.

[Pile On]

I have hardly had any trouble with the free blogspot. Then again, I don't have any major traffic issues that might cause problems.

I think you have outgrown this here blogsite John.

[Enas Yorl]

That's it, John - you're just too big for li'l ol' Typepad! You're running with the Big Dogs now! You need your own whatchamathingy - www.wuzzadem.com. Enough with the amateur stuff, you're ready to turn Pro!

[Vinnie]

Ayup, you have to be nominated. It's a tough slog.

First, one of your munu blog buddies nominates you.

Then, said buddy posts the nomination at Ellis Island.

After that, munuvians go in the comments and say "yay!"

See how hard it is?

Whats really strange is that when I logged in and it was last weeks stuff I went then to MSNBC for "The Week In Pictures" And IT was also a week old.

[AnonymousDrivel]

And there I was thinking "Images being restored this weekend" was some sort of new, artsy-fartsy, conceptual posting series to penalize us for inadequately stuffing a ballot-box. Like everything on this site, I just don't get it, and I assumed you were talking over my head again. You need to make with the simple funnies we can all get... like maybe a knock-knock joke or some blue references that involve getting kicked in the groin, repeatedly. Them's funny.

Here's a joke for Anonymous...

Question: Did you hear about the guy who got his vascetomy at Sears?

Answer: Everytime he got an erection, the garage door opened.

[Retired Geezer]

Glad you're back.

[Jeff H]

Man, what a pisser this is.

"Images being restored this weekend"--how many man hours do you think it's taking them, having some secretary type that in on all the blogs?

:-\

[AnonymousDrivel]

*Barump-ump* That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, dl4. I'm off to your blog for more!

Question: What was vasectomy guy's range?

[dragonlady474]

If you're off to my place better bring a shotgun. We're up to our ass in zombies. :) Enjoy.

[MCPO Airdale]

Will this technical difficulty cause a delay in the mailing out of bribes??

dl4,

You're not kidding. I thought maybe your computer was getting hacked... but honest-to-goodness zombies? Hmm. The safety is now off.

And what is the square root of Ted Kennedy's a**?

[dragonlady474]

:) We can use another hand, thanks!
I was in a weird mood today, hence the ted kennedy thing LOL. I chalk it up to not enough coffee.

[AnonymousDrivel]

dl4,

I'll pad the linkage here for a moment for some sinister shenanigans and to contribute to the greater good. If I keep asking "what is the square root of Ted Kennedy's a**?", eventually Ask Jeeves will catalog it as a de facto web answer. As it stands now, there is no definitive answer to "what is the square root of Ted Kennedy's a**?", which is a shame since the American taxpayer is entitled to know what the square root of Ted Kennedy's a** is.

[dragonlady474]

anonymous...ROFL! :) Maybe it's like in the hitchhikers guide, 42.

Are you telling me someone stole that grill off your porch? Sorry, I'm not responsible for any losses that occur because you have substandard home procedures.

[MCPO Airdale]

John - Home security here consists of one disabled vet (me), a large shotgun and a bad attitude.

[AnonymousDrivel]

dl4,

Ha! A sublime answer for a tub of slime.

[Andi]

Um, as I recall, you recommended typepad to me. Thanks, John, thanks a lot! Hee.

[dragonlady474]

Anonymous...
42...22... whatever gets the job done. lol

[John from WuzzaDem]

Andi - You listened to me?

That's never a good idea.
