Missing: My Audience

missing.JPGWhat the hell, you guys? Summer ends, and all of a sudden my entire audience just decides to stop commenting? I’ve given you dear readers gold over the past few days! GOLD, I TELL YOU! Look at my mock MTA job posting! It’s great! Even another blogger said so! And said blogger is a heterosexual male, so he’s not even trying to get in the sack with me!

I mean, I understand. It’s after Labor Day. Summer is over and you guys are busy with real, actual work again. But I’m still bustin my ass for you guys to keep you entertained during an otherwise mundane workday. It’s a thankless job, really.

I tell ya, I get no respect.

So come on, folks. Comment. This is a blog! It’s an open forum! And quite often, it’s been an open forum to mock me and everything I write. So just because I give you something funny and well-written, you’ve got nothing to say?! Shame on you! And you have the nerve to call yourself Internet Commenters! Internet Commenters have something to say no matter what, regardless of its relevance. You’re all just poser Internet Commenters. Pathetic.

    Your site was down for like 36 hours so I went back to staring at those pictures of kittens 24/7.

    That’s a great way to get people to comment. Insult them.

    Er, wait, I guess it worked for me since I never comment.

    Ali,
    I told you before, your blog is so hard to read. It looks like one giant Google ad. (kisses!)

    Quit your whining, bitch. All that talk of tennis? *yawn*

    Get back to making more lolyankees, that’s all we can really cope with. And start dissing Metro too, this AM NY stuff is getting OLD.

    Megan: As you pointed out, yeah, it worked. And you know what? You all insult me all the time. It’s about damn time I got my shot!

    Sarcastic commentator: You can an E for effort. Try harder next time.

    mjones: This just isn’t working out anymore. It’s not me, it’s you.

    This one’s for you, Chris.

    Although honestly, I feel the same way. Comments have dried up this week. Does everyone feel that actually have to work at work now that summer’s over?

    I’ve been holding out because it would have been kinda weird for me to comment, I think. Ah, but here I am.

    Open Bar says:

    I’ve never commented here before (though I dig your site), but whenever people yell at me, I usually just do what they say, go home and drink a lot, then spend a few hours coming up with a comeback.

    SAY IT, DON’T SPRAY IT.

    Cait says:

    So wait, you think that the reason we comment is to try to bang you?

    It’s sorta true.

    FIRST COMMENT EVER.

    (To a post which deserves no comments whatsoever.)

    Full time lurker, only now commenting because Chris was nice enough to respond to my request to put the full posts back in the feeds.

    I don’t even know why I read this stupid blog. I guess because it’s one of the few things about NYC that seems real when viewed through the ol’ internets.
