One thought that is never far from the minds of true Comma aficionados, ranking right behind “What are we having for dinner?” and “I wonder if I should have this looked at by a doctor?” is:
“Whatever can I do to show my undying love and support for The Ominous Comma?“
This is a deeply profound question, one that often leads to bouts of soul-searching, ethical self-examination, and has even been known to induce altered states of consciousness among those untrained in the philosophic arts.*
So in the interests of netwide mental stability I have dedicated an entire page of my webpire** for the sole purpose of guiding all such mediation upon this wondrous and many-faceted topic.
Using classified technology unwittingly on loan from the Department of Humor Security, I have been able to discover that many of you observe these posts from the safety of feed readers and email subscriptions. Today however is the time for all true believers to return to the Hollowed Grammatical Grounds of Your Comma and fully participate in this joyous page of celebration and unrestrained merriment.
Here it is, let’s get participating.
The Official Ominous Comma Support and Badgery page.

*The philosophic arts include: theoretical construction, deconstruction, reconstruction, redeconstruction, post-redeconstruction, and intoxication.
**Webire - noun:
1. A vast collection of internet holdings and estates, usually overseen by a benevolent individual of great wisdom and Authorship for the good of all humanity.
2. A judge or arbitrator appointed to settle disputes between webmasters, most often in matters of bandwidth, storage capacity, and the combat capabilities of Chuck Norris.
3. A lifesucking page or weblog featuring a parasitical level of sheer inanity almost always culminating in the measurable IQ reduction of readers. See lolcats.
I have great confidence in your ability to pick the right definition.

When it comes to self-aggrandizing, I have so much to learn from you it’s incredible. You are on my blogroll, sir, and I just sent you a check for 143,000 Kumquats to help with humor production. Hopefully, that’ll help with -
Hey! Is that Chuck Norris?
Good heavens Wolf, you’re absolutely correct. Clearly I am either:
a.) Slipping into obscurity upon the search engines and humor-blogs.com
Or
b.) Being possessed by the spirit of Doctor Harold Toboggans.
Either way, it’s a scary thought
Reporting for duty…
Wait a minute…this post sure does reek of Dr. Harold Toboggans! Maybe Brent is the one missing. Hmmmm…
Debbie, you may have hit on something here! What if Toboggans has staged a coup? We loyal Comma Fans might be the only ones standing between the Dr. and total Comma Domination!
Somebody better get the HCM on the horn, ASAP. We need someone on the inside.
Did you draw that heart yourself?
You know, Brent has been acting a bit odd since I returned. I think we need an intervention.
If clicking is the least I can do… then I guess I’ll do that… but thats just good old generous me.
That’s you, Alex. Generous to a fault.
Actually, I sub-contracted it out to a passing five-year-old.
You’d be amazed at the quality artwork you can get for a candy-bar these days.
*Remember to keep up the clicking everyday little commas. I like to click to the tune of Steely Dan, makes it more fun…
Brent never says “Good heavens” does he? Dr. T is trying to “sound” like Brent and not doing a very good job.
Wolf and I will have to do some detective work. You don’t mind do ya HCM? We will put in a request for dinner and stuff.
The last intervention I had is when Dr T tried to cure me of my oxygen addiction.
Let’s not go down that road again.
“clickity clickity clickity click When bla-ck friday comes…I’m gonna click on the humor-blogs badge…”
“Babylon sisters..click it!”
You are right HMC…too dangerous a mission. (Darn, I had my pjs all picked out)
Undying love and support?
Dude, I gave you the “Share the Love” award. I really think you need some little red hearts on your site–you know, for getting in touch with your feminine side.
It’s what Dr. T. would have wanted.
It’s up Meg, just don’t lean on it because I not sure that double-sided tape is going to hold.
As for Dr T, I’m sure he would have preferred cash.
“So fine, so young…make this blog the topmost one.”
“Any major dude with half a blog surely will tell you my friend…Any minor click that breaks apart falls together again…”
Alright, you’ve got me Debbie. I’m afraid I’m out of my league with anything outside of the Greatest Hits album.
Greatest hits???!!! That’s where you are getting your content from? I’m shocked! “Any major dude will surely tell you my friend” that that was one of their landmark songs! But of course, since you aren’t old enough to know better, you are forgiven……LOL
Don’t forget to clickity click Roann! Any background music will do.
Something signals the comma feels “its being used” to serve self-interested human motives. If the moment arises where you decide to give the comma back some of its independence, then you would be teaching the comma a new sense of value in what humans describe as “interdependence.” What quotation marks would feel about this action is something that would require a separate inquiry.
Punctuation can be so touchy.
