Sorry friends, no funnies today. I am finishing the roof, studying for finals, and……
preparing for graduation.
That’s right Comma fans, your Author is mere weeks away from a genuine college diploma, and with it in hand I will have more time to blog. I mean more time to spend with my family, and of course to see to long overdue household maintenance chores.
And write.
And catch up on all the movies I missed.
And possibly romance the Hot Comma Momma.
But they are no guarantees on that last one. I am after all, a highly educated man with my mind set on the nobler pursuits of culture, refinement, and chasing my wife about the house while laughing maniacally.
But I might pencil in some romance. If I think of it.
Happy Tuesday.
P.S. You can find an interesting carnival of humor at Mad Kane’s Humor blog. While you’re there you might also vote for my submission. ( I could win a prize.)

It wasn’t my fault, humor-blogs.com made me do it. Alltop.com issued the double dog dare.

I am spending the weekend working on my roof and doing exciting site maintenance to this my exciting site.
Before I am done the the dead links will rise, the Technorati feed will be healed, and multitudes of witty humor fans will be able to find this site via their favorite search engines.
While I am sweating and exerting myself you may read my previous attempt to convince Google that The Ominous Comma is an Important and high ranking source of Intelligent Humor.
You can also affix your gaze upon this lovely photo of the cleaned up, pimped out, wedding ready Comma Clan, recently taken in eastern bowels of Texas.
America’s Most Flaunted
Happy Weekend

If you’re still bored you can visit humor-blogs.com, or alltop, or even subscribe the gurgling fount of joy that is the Comma.
Of course you could also come help out with the roof.

At long last I have interrupted my highly cerebral often classified meditations on subjects as vast and varied as Flatulence Magnetism, Sub-Aquatic Incontinence, and The Average Number Of Quarks Stubborn Enough To Refuse To Dance Upon The Head Of A Pin in order to answer the challenge of one Jeffrey Ellis who’s dare to me was to sum up the whole of my existence in one Six Word Memoir.
Well, as anyone who has ever had their retinas imprinted by this publication can tell you, I am far too verbose to encapsulate my entire corporeal career in a half-dozen words. In fact, it often takes me three times that amount to even realize I have begun a sentence, much less decide what it is to be about.
But then there is the Ominous Comma, my beloved blog for which I am spokesman, legal counsel and Chief Exaggerative Officer, that I can describe six words:
Which I will deposit upon this screen immediately below this line:
The Ominous Comma
A Cult of Multiple Personalities
As you can see, I have finished with one word to spare, and as I decide how to spend that literary surplus allow me to bestow this same honor upon those who truly deserve it. I hereby inflict this meme upon my dearest absentee blog mutineers, Don, Lobo, and Alex who probably deserve far worse. While I’m at it I will widen the noose to include femme fatales Leigh, Theresa, and Jami. Of course anyone else who cares to saddle themselves with this challenge may also do so without my direct supervision.
Rules, blah, blah, blah:
- Write your own six word memoir.
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post.
- Tag five more blogs with links.
- And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
Get cracking boys and girls, there’s not a word to waste.

In order to wow and woo Camille, the Comma Momma of Exceeding Hotness and generally impress her with my husbandly might and in so doing justify my “vacation” of domestic labor to my near-forsaken readers, I have decanted the essence of my manly maintenance tasks into a Digglet, a poetic formation much like sonnet, but without the tedious constraints of rhyme, meter, and narrative coherence.
For the romantically impaired who might otherwise miss this glorious contribution to literature entirely, this is it directly below:
Eighteen: The Number of My Love As Divided by the Mean Average Quantity of our Dependents Who Themselves Are Often Less Than Friendly.
Shall I compare thee to a Memphis day? Thou art less humid and lacking in highway incompetence.
Among the buzzing bugs of May, thy bidding I dost do with not any complaint thou couldest have heard inside the house.
Lend now thine compassionate eye to love’s recent labor of goodly effort and much dedication:
Still Warm From Much Sweat and Manliness
Ask Not For Whom the Bell Trolls in the Night, Lest You Be Subpoenaed For That Knowledge.
(Nice Paintjob, though)
Still Fathoming My Feverish Imaginations For A Way To Cut A Piece To Fit This Gap Without Losing Any Of The Fingers Of Which I Have Become So Accustomed.
And think not of love’s less recent labors lest thou loseth the entire mood I have striven to engender in thy heart-like place:
Forsooth, though they be never cute again as back in yonder day, before many seasons they too shall know the cry of the midnight diaper and the vomitation of ceaseless dairy consistency.

Didn’t think so. Feel free to subscribe to the smug literary superiority of the Ominous Comma.
