Cities and suburbs, real and imaginary.

i knew it...

adsense be saying i get so and so many hits... but people don't be reading to the end, except for Lola.

I'm not mad. It's my fault for not being more interesting. Really, I don't blame you, fair reader. If my blog post is dull, than don't read it.

Let's try this again:

First five comments get a free, official LAST DRAGON button.

I read your posts on my RSS reader, but have been remiss in coming by to comment. I am going to start reading Last Dragon soon, too - it's finally at the top of the 'to read' stack!

I already have a button (The Count who sits next to my computer is wearing it at the moment), but I do read your blog. I just don't comment very often. I think a lot of people are the same way--I know I don't get a lot of comments at my blog, but occasionally I'll get a comment from someone who's obviously familiar with what I'm up to. And my blog is 10,000 times more boring than yours. :)

My adsense is showing WAY MORE pagehits than just the regulars - who I have in intention of making feel bad, btw, and I'm sorry if I did, Lola and K.C.! - and I was curious if these were really people.

Also, the world needs more stuffed animals sporting snazzy buttons.

e-mail me your address dawno:

KC? Want another one? I'll send you one. I never said prior button-weilders were disqualified. (Remind me what your address is, same e mail!)

Lola said...

That's probably true. I'm a chronic commenter though. Even in life. I'm a movie talker, I'm that person that talks to the tv. *shrug* I can't help it, I also like to comment on my professors during class. I hate not having a companion that thinks my side comments are amusing.

J m mcdermott said...

I'm always glad to see your comments, Lola. In fact, if you tripled your comment capacity, I would also like that.

Quadrupling might be a bit much, though.

Lola said...

Yeah, well I think if I increased my commenting anymore (I try very hard to tone it down) I might seem stalker-ish. Or even more stalker-ish then I already do. Which isn't the impression I'm going for.

I also wish my comments were more clever but I usually say whatever I'm thinking at the moment which isn't always super clever. I've never held with that rule of thinking before you type. *shrug*

This is an automated comment by your evil Spam-bot Overlords.

P.S. Getting people to actually comment on blog entries is difficult.

J m mcdermott said...

Hey, Charles!

Getting people to comment is difficult, which is why I added the inducement of a free button.

Did you get one?

You should get a button! Remind me what your address is via e-mail!

I sent some out today, and some will go out later this week.

Dawno, feel free to wear my button around town and tell everyone it's because *you* are actually J M McDermott. I think it would be fun to have impersonators like Elvis.

K.C. Shaw said...

I loaned my copy of Last Dragon to a cousin, and now he won't give it back. I'll email you my address again for another button (thanks!) and I'll swap him the button for the book. Like a geeky version of Indiana Jones ("throw me the book and I throw you the button!").

Pony English said...

*sobs* I haven't gotten my button yet. I blame the mail man. They are rather shiny.

J m mcdermott said...

Pony, are you positive you didn't?

I'm going to have to contact my people and get some more buttons...

Hold on a week, folks...
