Swerving Headlong into Memory Lane
By Brent Diggs on Jun 23, 2008 in Humor
I’ve spent all weekend combing through my whine-o-dex looking for just the right excuse for not posting today. Unfortunately, nothing I found looked very plausible.
For example:
I’m Tired - What’s new there?
I’m in Mourning for Doctor Toboggans - Who’s going to believe that.
I’m Preparing for a Speaking Engagement - See reason #2.
But then I stumbled across a winner:
I’m allowing new members of the Ominous Coalition to catch up on their reading by going over a few highlights of our illustrious history together.*
Now that’s an excuse to take home to momma. A perfectly believable yet throughly artificial justification rolling around upon my laurels and seeing if any of them stick.
However, now that I’ve raised everyone’s hopes I suppose I could wax historical for a short while, just out some misguided sense of honesty.
Okay. But hold on tight because this will be brief.
For readers who have not yet grasped why I am coping with Dr. Toboggans absence/demise so well, here are a few examples of him in action badgering, battering, and badly in need of a shower.

For readers who are struggling with the current economic downturn, perhaps even now viewing this site by candlelight and hamster-power, allow me to refer you to my Buck-O-Quest economic recovery series for hard-hitting, nearly feasible, expert finical advice.*

And finally one year ago on the Comma everyone was all aflutter about:
Google Purchasing Luxembourg (The Country).
Go ahead, get educated, and enjoy. I’ll be back with more adventures soon.

*Yes, I realize that spending three-hundred words explaining how I’m not going to post is, strictly speaking, a post in and of itself, but I’m really trying to shirk my responsibilities here and that’s got to count for something.
**Not responsible for….
Actually, let’s just stop with Not Responsible…Yeah, that about sums it up.

You sure spent a lot of time on not saying anything. What else were you doing in your so called laire?
Attempting to lure you in there.
The fact that you are asking now only demonstrates how unsuccesful I was.
You need to step up your game.
I’m touched: not only did you spend a whole post telling us how you weren’t going to spend a whole post on us Comma fans, but you also used (I assume) Word’s word count feature to figure out how many words it took you to tell us.
On another note: if I do my homework and catch up on all the past Comma posts I have missed, might I earn a coveted spot on the Comma’s blogroll?
The fact that your are not already on the Ominous Linkroll of Doom is an oversight of the highest order.
Heads will eventually roll for this. I am even thinking of hiring a linking comittee just so I can fire them over this travesty.
I am far from the OC world headquarters right now, but rest assured that I will fix it when I return.
Meanwhile, plaese enjoy some history.
I refuse to comment on a non-post.
Oh Dear.
Me either…. or me too. (I’m not sure which)
Now DONCO labs will have to develop anti-comment technology just to neutralize this lapse in judgement.
How does it feel to be the mother of invention?
Ha! Jigglewatts…
…jigglewatts… very funny stuff!!!
I try.
Oh good. Since you were so brief I can now give my hamsters the rest of the day off.
Yes, energy drinks all around for your rodents.
what EXACTLY has happened to the doc? or is it too soon for you to talk about it?
I hope it was painful and full of torture, just like his sessions.
We don’t really know. One day he was there annoying the crap out of everyone and the next there was no sign of him but his mustache.
At least that’s what Don Lewis and Lobo tell me, they were watching my blog for me at the time.
I guess there should be some sort of bonus in it for them.
I’m too tired to read all your posts again…Cliffs Notes?
I’m very disappointed. I really thought that you had them memorized.
Or possibly tattooed to your flesh.
Don’t give me any ideas you two!
Excellent post! Next time I’m feeling lazy about posting - which will be today, probably - I’m just going to lift this and put it on my blog. I think that’s legal, isn’t it?
Only with a coupon.
hahaha! Brent and Lynn are right. Do you like the idea?
Oh, I’m ready to market it. Mark mt words, tattoo subscriptions are going to be the next big blog phenomenon.
Just make sure you insist upon Toboggans Industries Organ Needles.
After all, you do deserve the best.
wow! that is interesting Brent. lol!
