I basically had to pick things up as I went, never even heard of the Commentist Manifesto until this week. I've made maybe a dozen posts in the past six months. Mainly I lurk.<br /><br />So today is June 22nd, a good six weeks since this roundup was posted. I only discovered your blog this week from some clues at DS, and I actually took the time to read it straight through from the beginning (yea, I'm on summer vacation right now).<br /><br />As proof that you're helping people to "get it," as I read your comments, I began to have an "oh shit" sort of growing awareness that most of my attempts have been truly off the mark. My uneasy feeling grew when I started reading this roundup and saw the Big Red Hat post referenced, because I KNEW. Today would be the day.<br /><br />And there it was: "The cheapest, most worthless comment of the day was made by unstarred commenter SwimminginEstrogen in the Big Red Hat post."<br /><br />Accept my mea culpa, and take comfort in the fact that after spending time here, I knew that was coming from a mile away. If only I had come here first! You're truly doing the lord's work.SwimminginEstrogennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-91903510263823809562011-05-12T01:46:18.548-04:002011-05-12T01:46:18.548-04:00I'd like to extend a personal apology if I gav...I'd like to extend a personal apology if I gave the Val Kilmer meme a quicker death in the Tampa Bay Lightning post. With it's popularity lately I decided that it would best serve my "joke" instead of Kirstie Alley or Shaq. IronMike got the final word later that day to bury this meme.Walk Off HBPhttp://deadspin.com/people/walkoffhbpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-82897600530900490902011-05-11T22:21:12.049-04:002011-05-11T22:21:12.049-04:00I consistently wallow in mediocrity with comments ...I consistently wallow in mediocrity with comments I think are pretty good and always original but don't always strike the chord I would like them too. Every now and then, I stick my neck out extra far with a borderline joke. Today I nailed it. Very humbled by Steve_U and the great President Camacho chiming in the prize. I'll end this douchey self-righteous acceptance speech by saying thanks again M/S you are killing it everyday - something not too many DS commenters can do.MalikSealyDMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-91640607202025736962011-05-11T20:14:23.871-04:002011-05-11T20:14:23.871-04:00Agree 100% on MarkKelso's dud.

I've noticed several of the true "stars" are equally guilty. For fuck's sake, let Ninja and Failbot do their jobs.anonymous againnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-52145957591144050702011-05-11T20:08:59.104-04:002011-05-11T20:08:59.104-04:00Thanks for the hat tip.
