Well Well!

October 25th, 2009

For those of you who read my previous post and thought I was in a bad mood because of the funbies at Ask and You Shall Receive who reviewed my blog, relax. It was just some shit. I posted it before I knew my blog was reviewed over there and has nothing to do with mood.

After reading their blog (for which they can’t even afford the $10 for a proper domain name), I decided to submit. Why, because I was looking for validation? Because I wanted them to give me pointers on how to improve? No, I knew that wouldn’t happen.

Sure, if they like you they can give some pretty good advice. But if they don’t like you, they regress into the mental capacity of bitter twelve year olds with an impressive lexicon of Websters like grammar and verbiage.

As my loyal readers might remember from my foray into P.E.T.A and the vegitarians, there’s nothing I like more than seeing idiots spew verbal diarrhea at what they think is my expense.  I even got a death threat from one of the Ask zombies! The entertainment value is absolutely precious.

If you have a blog that’s full of teenaged angst, emotional instability, or depressing real life antics, submit it to Ask and Ye Shall Receive.  You might get some good pointers on blog layout, design and perhaps even grammar and writing style.  If you have any other type of blog, and want a laugh, submit it too.  You’ll see some reasonably intelligent people revert into a complete and utter children. They’ll make assumptions about you and your life, even if what you write about is complete and utter fiction.  They will do their best to insult you personally too.  It’s pure entertainment value.

I think the most entertaining thing is the Ask zombies.  They have a group of people who nod their heads like bobble dolls to whatever the reviewers say, and even go as far as to insult your READERS, not just you!

If it’s not entertainment you’re looking for, then go for the validation. If the people at Ask don’t like your blog to the point they revert to babyish insults and outright assumptions, that means you are actually pretty good.

But don’t just take my word for it, try it for yourself.  You might just like it!

    Ah, don’t waste your energy on douchebags like that, Spaz. Not worth it.

    I took a look at their “review” and was pretty impressed that children were able to use such big words and construct them into a sentence. My six year old isn’t that immature. I also didn’t realize that there were so many people lacking a sense of humor, but them I don’t get the whole Emo thing.

    Meh, I just assumed the last post was about you trying to shove things up my ass ;) Sounds like they could use it too.

    this blog is not so good…

    Please don’t turn into one of those ‘angsty teenagers’, Spaz.

    First paragraph to acknowledge the review, then talk about something else. This is not entertaining..

    @Knucklehead!
    As soon as I’m done with them, no further energies will be spent.

    @Jen
    It’s an interesting “sub culture” over there, to quote one of the ask zombies ;)

    @Meghan
    Stop making me hot Meghan :P

    @Mouse
    Don’t worry, regularly scheduled programming will resume soon, I promise. Glad to see I entertain your class.

    Maybe to make yourself feel better, you should buy one of my Mental Poo mugs.

    At the very least, it will make ME feel better.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have no idea what any of these sites were/are and now I’m even more convinced that ignorance is indeed, blissful.

    And remind me to never piss you off; I have a sense that you could verbally kick my blondie butt.

    @moooooog35
    I always feel good when you are around. Well, better than you, because in order to give the reach around your nose is in my ass. At least I don’t have swamp ass.

    @JenJen
    These guys are one of the funnier out there, let me assure you ;)

    Wouldn’t it be nice for an honest review? Of course you can’t really do that with comedy. Each humorist has their own type of humor and what works for your readers probably doesn’t work for mine. And there is nothing wrong with that. I’ve said it before…very few can write humor that is funny. Very few. I’m super busy and my blog roll is over 200 so I know I don’t come over here much but when I’m in the mood for a laugh, I know I can get one here. I don’t need intelligent biting political wit to get that.

    @VE
    They amuse me to no end. What REALLY amuses me is the following statement they have in their FAQ:

    “It is our goal to give bloggers solid, constructive feedback on their blogs”

    So doesn’t that preclude personal attacks and outright assumptions on your own personal life based on a blog that’s completely fictitious?

    And that’s exactly why I submitted to them in the first place. I wanted to see if they would do something like that and I knew they would for my blog. I do feel personal victory in that!

    I could not agree with you more. That’s how I found you. I like your blog. I read the review and they panned you bad…that meant to me, that it was worth the read.

    Yep, you have kept this Joker’s interest! Way to score low on Ask….

    @Joker_SATX
    A low score on ask means a high score everywhere else I’d say!

  14. October 26th, 2009 at 17:47 | #14

    That really wasn’t a review of your writing or your layout. (Like they have room to talk about layout, with their burn-your-retina-red background.) It was really just a personal attack on you.

    @John J Savo
    Good to see you John! Long time.

    Yup, for a good laugh read their F.A.Q’s.

    Dammit Mike!!! Stop sucking so much! Like C’mon man.. personal attacks! over mere annoyances!!! You should have at least gotten a death threat or 2 over that one! You must be losing your touch! I remember back in the day when it would only take about a minute or so of shooting your mouth off for someone to want to hit you!
