Do I Smell Like Piss?
So the way the blog comment thing works is that I get e-mailed any comment made on the blog (which is great because it saves me from having to re-load the page hundreds of times throughout the day).
I was confused, however, when the following comment from an anonymous reader appeared in my inbox this afternoon: “because mens bathrooms smell of piss consistantly. i don't want to share in that.”
I immediately assumed that this was some sort of coded slam regarding my controversial Woody Allen post. Was the post somehow reminiscent of a piss-smelling bathroom? Was this some sort of blog spam thing that I just wasn’t getting?
Turns out it was just referencing a question I posed in an earlier (and long forgotten) post. But I was momentarily quite confused.

I live for blog comments. Mine go to my gmail address, so instead of refreshing the blog a billion times a day, I check gmail a billion times a day. Oh well. I guess it's more efficient that way.
Yeah, there's something validating about friends and complete strangers responding to something you've written.
The reverse is twice as frusterating though - when you've just written what you consider to be a great post and nobody responds. Urgh.
Such is the struggle of the blog-faithful, I guess.
Oh, yeah, I hate that. Maybe it happens when your post is just so perfect and complete, no one feels they need to add anything to it?
