Still There?
I haven’t asked this for a while, but is anyone the hell out there?
To say that ours is not the most commented upon blog in the world would be a gross understatement. I’m beginning to think that all of our readers are mimes. Or we don’t have any readers. Probably the latter.
There’ve been a few recent posts here in Shalampax Speaks that haven’t received any comments. That’s depressing even for a Shalampaxian; and we don’t normally give a damn about anything.
Someone who goes by the name David used to comment pretty well every day, but he hasn’t been around for more than a week. I may be misremembering, but I seem to recall that he lives in an exceptionally dangerous place in the world that goes by the name of Washington DC. I hope he’s OK.
I’d like to know if there is anyone reading this because I, like all of the authors here at Shalampax Speaks, would like to quit. Writing this crap is cutting drastically into our nap time. If no one is reading, that would give us the perfect argument to use to convince the powers-that-be here to let us stop writing.
So, if you’re reading this, please leave a comment to let us know you’re out there. It doesn’t have to be a long comment. It could be just something along the lines of, “Hi. I’m here and I think that Shalampax Speaks is the absolute best blog on the Web, bar none.” Feel free to cut-and-paste that into your comment.
Oh, and if you wouldn’t mind commenting on a future post now and then as well, even if we don’t specifically ask you to, that would be great too. Thanks.
If you’re not reading this then feel free to ignore my request for you to leave a comment.
::raises paw:: I’m here!
“Hi. I’m here and I think that Shalampax Speaks is the absolute best blog on the Web, bar none.” Feel free to cut-and-paste that into… …a future post now and then as well…

@Joe: Welcome, oh great feline one.
@nonamedufus: Thanks for following instructions so well. You must be a Canadian.
@Joe: Thanks. It’s gratifying to see how many of our readers are willing to speak straight from the heart — or in your case maybe the kidneys. Yours is a voice that we are particularly glad to hear.
As it happens, I wasn’t here even though I think I must be in the running as the most prolific commenter – for better or worse. I was in Kenya for photo safari on holiday.
Interestingly, while internet access was either unavailable or was prohibitively expensive for very slow connections – I was thinking about Shalampax or more significantly Openfly and her new commitment to breeding, and wishing I could contact the cadre of Shalampax Speaks authors.
I happened to visit a large baboon colony and shazam there were female baboons with red bottoms breeding willy-nilly. Who would have expected that?
@David:Good to hear from you: I was beginning to think something awful happened. Yes, if we gave out awards for most prolific commenter, you’d win hands down. No one else would come close.
I hope you enjoyed the photo safari.
About not expecting the red-bottomed baboons … did you think we make this crap up? Of course not. I bet those horny little baboons were really going at it. I understand that, unlike Shalampaxians, they have no qualms about bearing children. Of course, baboons are farther off the evolutionary tree from Shalampaxians than bonobos are, which might explain why it’s their bottoms rather than their vaginas that turn red.
