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.
I don’t know what to say. I can’t even remember how to say what I wanted to say about not knowing what to say. You know what I’m saying? Just saying is all.
@Doctor Faustroll: Thanks for just saying. At least we have one reader. Great to have you aboard.
Hi. I’m here and I think that Shalampax Speaks is the absolute best blog on the Web, bar none.
@Len: Thanks for making your presence known and thanks also for expressing your honest, heart-felt feelings.
I say hi!
@Tiggy: The lovely and talented Ms. Tiggy, as I live and breath! Good to hear from you. Hi!
Howdy.
@stunatra: Another voice in the wilderness heard from. Thanks & hi!
Just wanted say Hi! I only discovered Shalampax Speaks this past week. I know, I know, I should have said “Hi” sooner. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read so far. And I’ll try to stop by more often. (But it’s summer, so I can’t make any promises.)
@Marsha: Welcome! It’s always good to see newcomers. Some people new to us have difficulty figuring what the hell we are all about. If that includes you, you might find that the Official Shalampax national Web site will help explain it.
“Hi. I’m here and I think that Shalampax Speaks is the absolute best blog on the Web, bar none.” I did what you asked. Hope you’re happy. I gues this was a good day for fishing!
Here’s the correct link! AND…a second comment!
I’m pretty sure I read this post.
I’m here. The Shalampaxian brilliance puts my own feeble writing to shame. Thus, few comments from me.
@Mason: Thanks for doing what I asked and for the comments x2. Yes, the fishing was reasonably good today.
@A Valdese Blogger: Glad to hear that. If you realize that you were wrong and didn’t actually read the post, feel free to withdraw your words.
@Susan Helene Gottfried: You greatly underrate your own writing and greatly overrate ours. Thank you. Feel free to continue that practice.
