These days, I don’t have much time to just hang out with friends and crack jokes. One liners. Try to be funnier than they are, only to realize that it’s a draw. It’s always a draw, because when you hang with friends and laugh, well, everybody has a good time.
What can be better than that?
I don’t know about you, but I don’t get nearly enough opportunities to do that. I mean there is work, Duncan* duties (and cleaning up the doo-doo), and the fact that all my friends are spread out around the area, around the country and around the world.
And when I top one of John’s line with the funniest thing ever said by person-kind, he just looks at me, straight-faced, and tries not to laugh.
My need to one-up and be one-up’d has led me to a really fun new blog. OK, it isn’t really that new. OK, I’m a rotten person because I should have done this post a while ago. It’s Gibber Jabberin!
Blatantly stolen from http://www.Gibber Jabberin.wordpress.com.
Sue me.
Now, we regulars over there give Gibber a hard time. Well, we give each other a hard time, too, but I’m talking about the hard time we give to Gibber now. (You’ll have to visit the site to see how we treat visitors/commenters.)
You see, Gibber is brilliant. She set up a blog where everybody else does all the work! Seriously!
Folks send her questions — predominately stupid questions. She introduces them, and her followers read and comment. Then we abuse each other.
It is Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much fun
Today, one of my questions is featured! My first musical question:
Head on over to Gibber Jabberin’ and see if you can answer the musical question.
And then see if you can answer a question for me — why didn’t I do this post sooner?
Apparently, stealing stuff from Gibber is habit forming.
Zorbear told me that my links weren’t working. In case my fixes didn’t work, here’s the site: http://gibberjabberin.wordpress.com/ .

I haven’t posted any pictures of Duncan lately. So here’s one.

(I do not have the Midas touch — Duncan has not turned yellow or gold. He is still Cammo-dog, black and gray. But I like this picture and he never ever sits still!)

I tried asking a serious question once, but Gibber politely declined. Which left me feeling a little rejected, but all’s fair in love and blogging and I am now trying to come up with The Silliest Question Ever. (As a published writer you’d think I’d be used to rejections.)

I am trying not to be disheartened but instead see it for what it is. Our true apathy that only falling all the way down will change. You know what they say, you have to bottom out before you can start to change. We simply haven’t hit the bottom yet.

Thank you for referring us readers to your friend’s page. It was an exceiting adventure just getting there! First I clicked on the Jibber logo, but that took me to your file page (where you store the picture). Then I clicked on the hyperlink, but that was a dead end. Finally I cut and pasted the address you posted but THAT was a dead end.
Eventually I figured out that you’d left a space between Jibber and Gibber, and that was the problem. How Freudian! You really do have a problem referring people to Jibber Gibber, don’t you? (Jealous much?)
