Leave a Comment…Pretty Please
The Poke Show News April 28th, 2008So, someone has finally noticed my absence. Thanks Bee.
There’s two reasons why I haven’t been posting:
1) I’ve been under the weather.
I have a bad back — some days it hurts like the devil to sit at my PC. I’d use my laptop, but it’s like 6 years old and extremely slow (in computer years it’s a seventy year old woman).
Of course, I’ve had the back thing for a while and have fought through the pain many times in order to bring my viewers sketch comedy goodness. So, while I am listing this one first, it is definitely not the top reason — that would be:
2) I was trying to see if anyone would notice.
I’ll put it to you this way…this blog gets a nice chunk of traffic for a niche site that doesn’t advertise and isn’t highly ranked on any blog ranking sites (because we’ve been screwed over more than once — another rant for another day). Yet all that traffic means nothing if no one ever comments.
In the year this site has been up, I have gained one frequent commenter that doesn’t know me or any members of The Non-Retards or The Lava Factory personally — that would be the aforementioned Bee (and don’t get me wrong, I appreciate her — I mean she doesn’t even know me and she cared enough to ask what was up…no one who has a vested interest in this site did that).
I know a lot of people subscribe to the feed, I can see when they do and when they visit. Yet rarely do I get the joy of hearing what these people think.
I’ve read many articles and blog posts saying that in order to get people to comment you pretty much have to beg them. So that’s what I’m gonna do.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT
Tell me if you like the site. Tell me if you don’t. Tell me if you think I’m an idiot. Tell me if you are an idiot yourself. Just tell me something. I need to know my time is worth it.
If this sounds like me being a whiny bitch, so be it. But I feel it needed to be said.

Just as an FYI, I had noticed earlier but thought you might be on vacation so I didn’t want to be too demanding! ;op
Hope you feel better and all the numbnuts comment!

No worries.
I’m sure you’ll be the only comment.

Are there any new sketches in the works? I realize things got a bit entangled and complicated a while back.

No, you are not wasting your time. You need to get your groove back - oh wait, I should use another word, hunh?

I have a link to your blog on my blog at McCafferty’s Pub that shows the first couple of sentences in your latest post plus how long ago it was posted. You are one of the more frequent bloggers that I know from online.
Many of those that I have met online that used to post every day are now only posting every month or two. So, from my point of view, you are not late posting at all.

Most people like to ghost it around the web, like invisible perverts, stopping only to whisper crude nothings in stranger’s ears… things like “That waz so gud lolol” or “this sucks”, or other such utterances proclaiming the vast judgmental power of the audience members in such eloquent prose that one wonders why the world isn’t filled with intelligent, thoughtful, peace-loving artists.

dotdude,
Some new material will be gracing us soon.
McCafferty,
Thanks. In reality I would like to get four or five posts up per week. There is so much sketch comedy out there that I could post two or three times a day and still have some left over.
Spat,
I’d take some random anonymous comments, but so many videos get posted and no one ever says anything about them. Hopefully that will change.
