That is inhuman. Not even cartoons? The good ones, I mean, not just any cartoon.

I thought never leaving the house was a pretty good reason. Must try to surpass Ed.

Nah, too lazy.

(Although if truth be told, I consider myself damn lazy.) And I will do this in four words! I will reveal just how it is possible to blog, have a life and to have a job. Okay….

get ready….

are you still with me? Here goes:

I don’t watch television.

And it’s really as simple as that!

You make us sound so…cool. As one with an ungodly workload, I cannot accept that as an excuse. Of course, I don’t have small humans to deal with. I understand that they often have soccer practice, and that is time consuming.

I knew the timeline was wrong, but since I can’t remember Monday, didn’t want to test my luck.

Ed, you’re tying with Brenda for best laugh of the dreary day. I will award two gold stars.

Superhuman, even. And not to defend editors, but some do have ungodly workloads. Still, that’s a lame-brained response.

Has this person EVER been blog surfing?

Mad Max did burst onto the blogging scene in October 2004 (I know because I was there–his was one of the first blogs I ever bookmarked, right after BS), but that was just over one year ago.

The site went dark after just nine months. Which would suggest that Mad Max couldn’t bring up triplets, save the (publishing) world and keep a blog going.

Bet a woman could have done it.
