What Have You Done for Me Lately?

If the answer is "not much," head on over to Belle of the Brawl and vote for my caption. I'm actually in second place, and with a little divine intervention could conceivably win the title bout.

I'm not sure when the polls close, so you'd best do it NOW.

Gracias.

i just remembered why i don't read blogs. because i've not only read Robin's blog, but now i'm logging on to read her friend's blogs (hello diesel) and in the meantime have wasted an hour of my life! i did vote for your caption but you're still a little behind, btw. anyway, i need you to do me a favor. am i allowed to post that here? so you've been reading robin's blog for awhile, right? well she is awesome and like my best friend. i am a total spaz and like the worst wife in the world. whereas she would make the best wife ever bc she can cook (and wants to) and is loving and thoughtful, etc. so i need you to help me find her a husband. that should keep you busy for at least a day or two. thank you. and she will soooo kill me when she reads this!

Just make sure it's someone who likes the smell of cat pee...

I already voted for you.

Should I delete my cookies and go back and cheat?

Shannon - Welcome! I'm glad to be feeding your addiction. I'll see what I can do for Robin. She's definitely cute, though maybe a bit young (looks like maybe 2-3 months old?) for most of my single friends.

Robin - Or it could be someone who is allergic to cats. Then they'd be all stuffed up and unable to smell it. Think positive!

Gregory - I don't need to cheat to win. Well, not yet. Let's see how things go. Actually I went to the site the other day with a different browser and resisted the urge to vote for myself again. I can't guarantee the crooks I'm competing against are that honest.

It wouldn't let me vote.

Then I tried with Internet Exploder. Worked fine. I voted for you, but Quilly was pretty tempting.

Maybe I need to turn off the "Don't display anything that might annoy me" plugin for Firefox.

But it's such a cool plugin. Most webpages render as blank, making my job of checking out changes in our corporate internet very rapid.

As for what I've done for you lately, the court-ordered settlement (just because I was reading a magazine when my truck piled into you) requires me to polish your shoes every 357 days until 2007.

I still don't believe those pink 6" pumps are yours. But I hope you like the black shoe polish.

listen kid, if you don't win this week (and i'd be lyin' if i said i wasn't pulling for my NBFF, G), i will make SURE we do a major Vote for Diesel's Caption blitz on the next one. unless, of course, your next caption is stupid and/or i come up with something so brilliant it cannot be ignored, becau... no. i'm not gonna go there, 'cuz even *then*, it'll be all about YOU. (what the hell, i've won a few times, i can afford to be generous). okily dokily? xox

raevi: oli? (pool game)

I could have sworn I left a comment, but I don't see it.

If I vote for you will you promote me to Chief Instigator ... or something? ;)

Wolfe - I just had a customer complain that one of our applications didn't work right in Safari. I don't understand these people. They MUST know that their browser is the problem, and yet they insist on lodging complaints about web apps that don't work in them. Is this some kind of personal crusade for you people? I don't see where you find the time. Drop your damn principles and use one of the 2 browsers everybody else on the planet uses.

And yes, they're mine, but I'm not going to tell you what I use them for.

Neva - Okily dokily. Hmm. Still holding at 2nd. Come on people, work with me!

Dan, welcome back! How was the anus?

Sure I will. Or something.

Firefox is not one of the two most widely used browsers?

word verification: "vblzu" - what "vw" sounds like when you're drunk and trying to say the alphabet backwards.

PS Yeah, I was gone for a while because my file system developed a glitch which proved fatal to Windows XP.

The crooks - why you little pisher! I don't need to cheat - grovel, beg, perhaps. My daughter voted for M!

See you in the winner's circle.

Diesel Dahling - That was one helluva run you gave the other contestents. Big congrats on moving moving up a step in the winners circle from your finish last week. And hearty thanks for inviting your awesome readers to come brawl with us.

Blogger rkroese said...

Glacial Spain - Firefox is, Safari isn't. Try to keep up.

G - Congrats! Is a pisher a good thing?

Meander - You could have made the difference. You and three of your friends. Sigh. Welcome to the MP anyway.

Sar - I was a little surprised by my last minute surge myself. My entry was sort of a sleeper hit. Or maybe a sleeper sofa hit. Not sure about this next one though. I may only be able to come up with 11 or 12.

Man, remind me why I switched to Blogger beta again. It's confusing the hell out of me.

Wolfe was using Firefox. I don't know what you're all "Safari" this and "Safari" that about. I mean, geez, man. Do you even read your own blog?

Damn it I got there too late...

Now I am sad.

Blogger Diesel said...

Glacial Spain - I tire of this. And in answer to your question, I don't have time to waste reading my blog.

Fab - Don't be sad. I moved up from 3rd last time to a close 2nd this time. You can help me vault to 1st next time. Just give me some time to think of something clever....

7:16 AM  
Blogger G said...

Why yes it is Diesel.

And congrats - you pulled off a stunning come from behind distant 3rd to a VERY close second. We're counting on a clever one that The Snark can throw its support behind for your next.

I agree entirely. 'Safari' should only be used as a noun to refer to situations where you shoot large guns at things you don't like, such as laptops. And hunting trips in Africa.

People who use macs (other than as projectiles) disgust me in a way that almost rends the very flesh from my bones and makes me want to go driving again, despite that court order.

And don't start me on BSD users.

Sorry for the slow reply, but I don't like reading Diesel's blog anymore than I like reading my own.

Best,

Blogger Diesel said...

See, Glacial Spain, Wolfe gets it.

8:53 PM  
Blogger Glacial Spain said...

Oh I got you. I just thought your post on Safari didn't follow logically from Wolfe's post on Firefox. You were just going off on a tangent, though, so whatever.

Thick skull/thin brain - same diff, right? Unless you allow for the possibility of a vaccuum...

If you expect logic on this blog, then you're in the wrong place. Read my blog as well; you'll still be in the wrong place, only mildly less so.
