Beware of Blog
th. asked…
Dear Stupid:
Why are most blog readers so dern lazy?
Stupid said…
Because they are internet folks. They don’t want to have to do any thinking or posting or even breathing for that matter.
Why, I remember back in the day when I was supposed to be a reader in grade school. Unfortunately, I had a mild case of ADD and was unable to read anything without having a string of thought that involved monkeys, quiche and number problems. So I didn’t read. I cried. I cried like a little girl.
My friends were using big words like ‘replied’ and ‘stated,’ and I was saying ‘answered’ and ‘said.’ I had a tough time. OH! The loneliness I felt at book club. The Trauma!
And that’s the background I bring to the internet. The other internet users out there are all exactly like me—I’ve met them—and they are painfully lazy. I’ve tried to help them with it, but they are unfortunately slow. (You can tell they’re slow when you read anti-anything and political websites.)
So the key for you and me is to use the small words. Throw in a misspelling every once in a while. Be opinionated—ooh—opinionated is always good. And hide your logic—it’s no good here…
(As always: to ask a question, post it in the comments after this article--and tell your friends to try out my advice blog. That way you will have more to read—and that’s what we all want, more to read.)

Okay, Stupid, after reading your advice on how to tell your boss he stinks, and laughing right out loud while at work, I have a question for you. I work in a office full of cubicles, we often refer to it as "Dilbertville" (not only because of the cubicles, but due to the unending supply of engineer type people in it.) Due to the proximity of our "cubes" to each other we hear everything on the other side of the wall, (work related or personal) hence the episode of laughing at your advice causing me to pen you a line. I have a rather large working companion who insists on eating all the time, and chewing very loudly, with an open mouth. Those of us around him are constantly looking at each other and rolling our eyes because listening to him chew is thoroughly disgusting, how can we tell him to please chew with his mouth closed in order to spare us the sounds of his masticating?
