Time for Phase 2

Enough of double entendre, innuendo and blatant pandering to the basest of the human instinct. Our heretofore fruitless (save for one much appreciated reader) attempts at generating an audience have not achieved the desired result. Puns certainly have their place in the world - or at least here on this particular blog - but we need more. Something approaching real discourse, though not necessarily rational or intelligent.

My inclination here is to suggest we solicit viewership from family, friends and co-workers. However, a quick mental read of our prior posts leads me think I'd rather start with Mr. H2O's family, friends and co-workers. I might even go so far as to suggest we offer member status to frequent or favored posters so that they are not confined to only comment. In short, we need to network this blog. Create a conblogerate, if you will.

So there you go, Mr. H, invite a friend. Or even a foe. I dare you.

Methinks the ale has addled your brain

I'm completely befuddled by your comments. Are you insinuating that if I invited two friends to the blog, and they eventually invited two friends, and they eventually invited two friends, and they eventually invited two friends, and they eventually invited two friends, and so on . . .then we would have a robust site that would bring the entire server network to its very knees, then I'm game. Perhaps, we invite them to send us a dollar per visit, then we could become dollarnaires? or debonaire? or debbyharry? I think I have a de bone to pick with you.

Nathan Kinzel said...

Yes, that two friends thing. That's what I'm shooting for. Otherwise I think I'm flummoxed by your commentary above.

I'm not sure we could obtain a dollar per visit. In fact, we may have to pay a dollar. Hey - I have an idea, why don't you give me a dollar every time you, I or someone else posts either a blog or a comment. No coins please.

I am much appreciated? *blush*

Nathan Kinzel said...

Yes, much appreciated - revered even. You have lots of people commenting on your blog and from all over the world! Of course, the posts on Quid Novi? are much more thought provoking than the nonsense we provide.

MrHuge2U said...

I resemble that remark.

echotig said...

Thought provoking?

Did you see the stupid self quiz?


Its weird to see who leaves comments... I think because I leave comments in a lot of different places.

Anyway, keep writing!

Nathan Kinzel said...

I have mentally completed about half of the self quiz. Most of the names I've gone by - aside from Dad of course - I've given myself (e.g. Mario, Dr. Pool...). Then there was also Lightning; I think that dates back to fifth grade. I'm also German, English, Irish, et. al.

See, thought provoking.

Mr. Huge claims to have commented on other blogs and takes particular pride in having harassed some poor Mets fan. I can't imagine why that guy hasn't commented on our blog.

MrHuge2U said...

Being a Cubs fan, I just couldn't resist trying to get a rise out of a Mets fanatic. Besides, he was asking for it, and I thought I was being generally tactful considering that the Mets generally embarass the Cubs. Anyway, I generally surf a few blogs and have yet to generate enough interest to pull anyone over to our blog. Perhaps, I should try to find a site that doesn't advertise naked women?

Nathan Kinzel said...

Just don't go postal on us.

MrHuge2U said...

Spoken like a overreactive mail. Guess I'll have to stamp out the political correctness. Yahoo!!!!

Nathan Kinzel said...

Maybe echotig has something to contribute. Why don't you shut up and letter say something.

MrHuge2U said...

My lips are sealed.

Nathan Kinzel said...

I'm sure you'll return; probably on a day when you wax nostalgic.

MrHuge2U said...

Were you addressing me? I wasn't sure, but I'm pretty Fed up with this Exchange. UPS yours!

Nathan Kinzel said...

You sure got upset in a hurry - almost overnight! At least you're not shy about expressing yourself.

MrHuge2U said...

I went to Emery College. In a slight twist of freight, after two days, I heard Bill Parcels attended there, and because of all the airborne insects decided to leave in a rush.

Nathan Kinzel said...

I think you went there to attend man-a-fest to check out the packages. I'm sure you got a hefty bill because you were lading it on awful thick. These comments are starting to skid downhill. They no longer suit my pallet. Ex-SKU's me if I offended you.

MrHuge2U said...

Ship, I can't think of anything. Maybe, I need to see a dock. The only one I know is Semi-retired.

Nathan Kinzel said...

These comments are really taking their toll. In fact, they're all over the map. I'm worried that I will no longer be able to deliver. Let's just drop it.

MrHuge2U said...

What's the matter - can't carry your weight in this post? Guess you're giving up because you're trailering me

Nathan Kinzel said...

Hey, don't worry, I can still tare it up. Just weight - in the end, you won't measure up. And don't get gross.

MrHuge2U said...

Great to get advice from someone with a receiving hairline. Why don't you just pack up and leave. I need to get an express-o and watch some sports. Did you hear that Dominik Hasek is back in the DHL?
