One of the great things about Comment of the Week is that it’s FRIDAY!!
While I had plenty to choose from, Totaltransformation came in today and left this great comment on the Michael Vic/Dog Killer post.
Did you hear, Michael Vick released a statement. Here, I’ll repost it.
“To my legion of adoring fans. I am so sorry that I let you down. Not with the whole dog fighting thing, I mean regarding my abilities (or lack thereof) on the field. Between all my injuries caused by my failure to actually throw the ball (an odd thing since I am a quarterback), and my frequent confusion over whether I am the Atlanta Falcons quarterback or their running back, I haven’t played many complete seasons since I started with this team.
In addition, I know my stats have been pretty mediocre (except for yards on the ground, which are quite impressive FOR A QUARTERBACK). Also, I know that I frequently do incredibly stupid things like flipping off my fans and letting dog fights occur on my property. But can’t you forgive me? After all, it isn’t like I killed my wife.
Speaking of that, perhaps if I hung out with O.J. you guys might appreciate me more. Kind of like how when average looking girls have an ugly friend they look even better- but this would be more about morals than looks. I mean, seriously, do I have to hang out with O.J. and Pacman Jones in order to look like a half way decent and respectable quarterback? If that is what I must do, then I guess I must. As long as it doesn’t involve throwing the football, I hate doing that.
Well, I am off to the Golf Course to help O.J. find the real killers. Maybe I will get lucky and they will be responsible for all those dog fights too?!”
[The above was satire…as you could have guessed]
While I’m certain that we can all agree that what Vic is accused of is horrendous, we can also count on TT to leave a brilliant comment.
Ready to play? Here’s a guideline refresher:
- Go back to your own wonderful blogs and find a comment that you think should be honored here.
- Come back to this post and paste the comment.
- I encourage you to link back to your own blog and even the commenter’s blog if you like.
- If your comment gets thrown in the dreaded moderation queue for having two links, I will bravely tread in there and release it.
- Rules are meant to be broken. Play, comment, and just have a good time — after all it’s FRIDAY!!!!

Do I use standard HTML markup on these? It would make sense, but I’ve never experienced much “sense” when it came to user-facing complex input systems.
Unfortunately I don’t understand the question because I’m not really HTML savvy. Trying to explain probably would do no good

Yes, that was an email sent between the Queen of Swords & me way back in the day, when I was trying to avoid studying for finals and she was on a streak.
A few nominations from my comments:
Briget, You know better than that, they exclusively use the “rhythm method” they are Catholic.
~Next Stop Lauderdale/Steve, regarding said deer.
Tammi, on the key to a long-term marriage:
Hmmm … my last comment blew away? Oh well. I just said thanks Bridget, just ask Ted, he’ll tell you I’m always right! That’s part of the 22 year key to happiness
Hi Bridget, thanks for the comment from Next Stop Lauderdale …. and of course, Ted would vouch for my comment

I’ve got one and it is a rule breaker. It wasn’t posted on my blog. I wrote about it, but the original comment is on the HelvidiusPachyderm blog, dredged up from the archives to rebut a particularly egregious use of liberal ideology.
Helvidius, a Pachyderm
And the comment:
That is so f’in hilarious. Who these pantywaists? Lemme shrink their heads real quick: they identify with the deer. Like the deer, they have been allowed to overpopulate because their natural predators have been hunted into extinction by the big, bad, unenlightened conservatives who fight and win wars. But here’s where they show their lack of fitness for survival: in their panicked fear of the “hunters” with guns (equivalent to the big, bad conservatives who are actually their protectors), they would rather see the return of their “natural” predators (Nazis, Communists, Fascists, crazy African warlords, and poor, misunderstood Islamofascists).
Stepping outside the metaphor for a second—does anyone know what has happened where the natural predators of deer (i.e., mountain lions and wolves) have been allowed to breed unmolested? Anyone? Anyone? Thaaaaat’s right! They’ve started attacking and mauling/killing humans in those areas, correctly identifying them as easy prey. That’s the problem with “solutions” offered by liberals—they get everyone else killed along with their dumb asses.
How’d ya like that?
Thanks Matthew! It’s from the ever witty Queen of Swords
