THEO–Gotta start a line a
GREETING CARDS, man! This is 100 percentage Happy Birthday!!

I always knew Torties had a hidden agenda. Now I understand WHY there can be only one… per house!

What about the people who react to the people who react to the people who are nuffing? Or is that just silly?

People who overreact to nuffers are just as annoying as nuffers, if not more so. You be okay Pam. I remember the poll.

“Touch not the cat but a glove!”

yes, sharon wilson, but my clan’s motto could also apply to cats, Clan McGregor, Royal is my race.

REMINDER: it is no longer April 1

gee, i must not be very good at telling what’s snarky and not. i read pam’s comment and just thought it was kinda funny. i thought it was just a joke, not a complaint. so confused! i must be totally oblivious to snark. not a bad thing i suppose. i’m learning a lot at co today!

Actually Pam did ask a question… honestly it’s just that one line that makes people jump.

“Yes, funny reference. Not what I come to CO for, however. Wasn’t there a poll a while back about including cheezburger-type macros on the site?”

or

“Yes, funny reference. But wasn’t there a poll a while back about including cheezburger-type macros on the site?”

The second version is like 100x less snarky. I think a lot of it is that nuffers come to CO with this idea of what should be posted, but it’s Meg’s blog so she can post whatever the heck she feels. So when you include a comment about what you come to CO for, it sounds really whiny and lame. I don’t like about 20% of what’s posted, but I don’t complain about it, because what I do like rocks. It’s like that with any blog, honestly, and those who don’t like it can go start their own.

@Pam:
There are two basic types of comments that are not “rave reviews”- let me break down your comment into those.
1)Snarky. “This is funny but not what I come to CO for… come on guys”– kinda sounds like, “whine whine” and the style in which most nuffers write.
2)Not snarky. “Hey this is funny, but, correct me if I’m wrong, I thought CO decided not to post cheezbrgrs? Thanks!” — This is polite, not very whiny, and you have asked a question, to which people would likely answer, “haha you’re right but April Fools!” or something along those lines.
You’re right that nuffers have sensitized a lot of people. But snarky whiny posts really is how they tend to comment… so there… that’s my analysis from many months of reading through comments.

Oooh, the Tuni-yeems! We shall never forget.
