Share the Love: My Favorite Comments of 2008

Posted Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:00am PST by Shawn Amos in GetBack

Everyone is posting “Best of 2008” lists all over the Internet. It's a sad ritual that would make you believe there's nothing more ever to come. "The Best Albums," "The Best Movies," "The Best Political Gaffes." On and on. Everyone's got a favorite something. I even succumbed and did one of my own. Everyone's got a weakness.

I've been writing this blog since June. Six months of sharing my heart and soul with all of you Yahoo! brothers and sisters. We've laughed, we've cried. I feel I can call you family. Why? Because of the honesty. Family members can speak to one another openly, candidly, without fear of hurt feelings. Your family members are the few people in the world who can tell it to you straight (yes, that "Rock Troublemakers" blog was weak; I admit it).

I've read some of the comments you all have posted over the last six months. They've made me feel warm inside. So in the holiday spirit, I'm sharing my year-end list of Best Comments of 2008. Thank you one and all. I send you glad tidings for the new year.

Wow @ spame ^.

Wow at me being on a top 2008 list.

So far, its been a "wowing" blog you write...mostly because I disagree w/ 95% of them. And, thank you for admitting that "Rock Troublemakers" blog was weak.

Since now we know which singers cannot sing, can you let us know which ones can actually sing. I hate it when you go to the doctor, let's say, and they give you a list of foods you need to avoid instead of a list of foods that you should eat plenty of. The same here; how about telling us who in your opinion (not that your opinion actually matters to anyone) can actually sing. This should be interesting. Thanks.

Why have one scoop of what Andre said, when you can have four! I LOVE it when I go to the doctor, and he says the same thing FOUR times in a row! You can NEVER have too much of a good thing! Especially a comment!

Why not just turn this blog over to the dating site spam?...That way, OUR comments can piss THEM off !

5. Suzi♥Bℓu -
God love ya Shawn! I used the "Report abuse" on "sexySissy4u"....just out of my own curiosity.... Sorry if I don't mention "explosive diarrhea" or call you a "tutti frutti" Shawn.... All I want to say is HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you foul mouthed bloggers who are getting geared up to throw more daily S _ _ T which will hit the ol' 2009 proverbial fan..... So....GETBACK!! and...Shawn...tell your mom she was right about that drug thing she happened to mention.... your secret is safe with me...and The Police!!

Bahahah! this was so incredible!

Why does everyone hate you so much? I didn't know that a blogger had to write what we agreed with to be cool, okay, not a tutti frutti, so on so forth. I thought a bloggers purpose is to write thier opinions to make people think, be amused, comment, blah blah blah. When did it get so personal?

8. -
your blogs are always negative and bashing artists. it is obvious that you continue to write blogs like this because you enjoy the angry reactions people have! why would you hate on some of the most legendary bands and artists around(even if you do love the hate you get from people), like elton john.... seriously what is up with that? i think you should post a blog of some of your favorite artists i'm sure you will get a bunch of nasty comments on that!

9. Neilzebub -
For Tori Amos's short, dubiously talented, mildly retarded little brother you do a fine job with this shog (you can decide what two words came together to form that new, fun word) and I will read it often! Keep up the work and I hope you get a swell tax return.


You can save this one for next year's list, or just edit the above entry.....
