Forgive me, Freepers, for I have sinned. My sins are many:
1. I linked to my own website, which is a sign of the arrogant belief that people might want to read what I write. Of course, if I didn't think that, I wouldn't write in the first place, so it's hard to see much difference.
2. I "stole bandwidth," though it's hard to see how posting a short exerpt with a link was worse than posting a long article--or how repeated insulting comments don't also "steal bandwidth."
3. I wanted people to "pay" me to be "showered with my wisdom," though my website has no advertising and costs me $299 a year to run, plus untold hours of time.
4. I used too many bullet points--or is it too few semicolons, I forget?
5. I claimed to have a graduate degree, though this couldn't be true, since I expressed myself plainly, in short paragraphs, and never used a $5 word when a two-bit word would do as well.
6. I claimed to have scars from a line-of-duty injury in the Army Reserve, though this couldn't be true either, since "people like me" usually avoid service.
7. Unlike my critics, I use my own name instead of a screen name, because I'm willing to stand up and be counted for what I say, and believe.
8. I assumed falsely that I was among friends, so any differences could be resolved amicably. Instead, I got more anger and vitriol than I ever got from liberals in the years I posted on NewsMax and on my own website. Yes, they occasionally called me "Nazi," but even the most fanatical never threatened violence or called me mentally ill--both of which are ways communists used to silence those who disagreed.
9. I assumed falsely that most conservatives are interested in saving our nation from leftists undermining it from within, and extremist Muslims attacking it from without. But instead, some are too busy squabbling among themselves about who doesn't really "fit in" with their small group--a sure recipe for defeat.
For all these sins, forgive me. My pennance will be to forgo blogging for a month. Perhaps that will be enough time for the anger to subside. Or not.
For pennance they shall drink the [un]holy caffienated beverage of doom, there amidst the horrible visions it shall grant they may achieve enlightenment.
Either that or they end up having one heck of a good conversation with a deer.
Or is drinking my coffee too much pennance to perform?
aw shoot...I thought we had the makins of an Opus.
Ah..okay.
I don’t have that ‘chafing’ problem with leather.
:)
I'm thinking of setting up a blog about them and pimping it here. We ought to get a lot of traffic.
On the other hand Romney, Paul, Tinklebee and Obama loves themselves a blog pimp.
And very frustrating for that decent minority, I’m sure.
The only answer is to pay for your OWN web space and have total control of what does [or does not] get put on/in it.
Unfortunate.
I'd suggest they copy their writing off the blog (why is it there anyway?)
and post it directly onto Free republic or where ever their little
heart desires. Why bother with a blog? I'd ask them to name any
blog that gets more page views than Free Republic.
Silly bloggers. Trix are for pimps.
Classic.
Yep.
YUP! that’s how I go!
But....but....You can’t get any HITS that way!
I think I read this apology already, but it was from a different Freeper.
Not saying that you stole the apology or anything, mind you.
:-)
Sunburn = self inflicted radiation poisoning.
I’m trying to imagine how useless Free Republic would be if every comment looked like this:
“I think that idea is silly. It is clear that.... (excerpted — read more at MyBlog.Blog”
Sung to the tune of Talking Heads’ “Life During Wartime”
(Ahem...)
Heard of a website. loaded with users,
hacked up and ready to go
Loaded some porn links, over in Russia,
a place where nobody knows
My Mother’s basement, here in the darkness,
I’m getting used to it now
I lived at DU, posted at HuffPo,
I’ve lived all over this town
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco,
this ain’t no fooling around
No time for Freeping, or more donations,
I ain’t got time for that now
Posting my excerpt, to 1000 websites
hope for an hitcount some day
I got three logins, a couple of hand-socks,
you don’t even know my real name
High on some spraypaint, the spam is loading,
everything’s ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, blogpimp in the nightime,
I might not ever get home
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco,
this ain’t no fooling around
These ain’t no KOS Kids, or Weasel Zippers,
I ain’t got time for that now
Heard about Pauly? Heard about Marcos?
Heard about humblegunner?
You oughta know not to mess with pimpbusters
somebody Zot you out there
I got some pictures, some AP copy,
to pimp a couple of ways
But I ain’t got no lifestyle,
ain’t got no girlfriend,
ain’t got no reason to stay
Why make donations? Why post a real link?
Gonna be different this time
Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard,
I can’t write nothing at all
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco,
this ain’t no fooling around
I’d like to rob you, steal all your passwords
I ain’t got no time for that now
Trouble at login, got through the firewall,
we blended with the crowd
We got computers, we’re tapping users,
I know that ain’t allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
or in our birthday suits
I changed my avatar, so many times now,
I don’t know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
we make a pretty good team
Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some pimping,
you ought to get you some sleep
Got you the login, follow directions,
then you should change your e-mail
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day,
whatever you think is best
Burned all my thumbdrives, what good are
thumbdrives? They won’t help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay stealthy, away from pimpbusters,
don’t want to catch no quick zots
Try to be careful, don’t take no chances,
you better watch what you say….

“Butt Hurts” ~ With apologies to Nazareth
Butt hurts, butt scars,
my blog, it’s marred,
any blog, posts fluff,
or exerpted enough
we take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
Bloggers like a clown
rants of the insane
butt hurts, ooh ooh butt hurts
I pimp, I know
but even so
I get a hit or two
I scammed, from you
I really pimp a lot,
really pimp a lot
blogs are like a whore
you pimp her when she’s hot
butt hurts, ooh ooh butt hurts
some FReepers hate my pimpy-ness
deceptiveness, my scumminess
Pimpbusters think I am a mess
they’re all beating me
I know my blog is cool
I know I get hits from you
My blog is plagiarized,
getting hits from you
butt hurts, ooh,ooh butt hurts
ooh,ooh butt hurts
[Guitar solo]
I know my blog is cool
I know I get hits from you
My blog is plagiarized,
getting hits from you
butt hurts, ooh,ooh butt hurts
ooh,ooh butt hurts
Oh, don’t be such a baby.
Free Republic is your home too.
And, as everyone knows:
Home is where you act the worst and get treated the best...or something like that.
Thanks for the excerpt.
