Grace, what exactly DOES a sexretary do?
Cool, I didn't know you live and visited all those exotic places? How was Fiji, I've always wondered.
T=)
I imagine that Fiji is an inexpensive version of Hawaii, but I've only ever been to the Hawaiian airport... I enjoyed Fiji alot, we were only there for a week, and we actually had no money, but I still could really enjoy it!
Kelly I'm not sure if you get called a sexretary for what you do... I think you are either born one, or you're not!
I just wanted to say that I think you are all awesome for commenting on this blog. Thank You!!!!
John rules Grace drools HAHAHAHAHAH!
I should really try to remember to sign out before I leave the computer! AND I'm very lucky that a certain someone didn't take full advantage of my forgetfulness. Thank you whichever sibling wrote this!
You have an amazing talent for writing. I realize that you are no where near as popular yet as Mr. Popular, but you will get there yet.
Hey...I have an idea. All those of you who enjoy Grace's blogs, lets give her a big round of comments, K?
Hahaha! Rip kord...you ended your comment with Mr. Popular's entire last blog. That is truly amazing!!!
That is pretty amazing, isn't it? Guess that's why they call him Mr. Popular. He's so popular that people quote him.
You're both right. I shouldn't plagorize. I must quote Mr. Popular. "K" was from the blog of 'Shade of Keller' written by 'V-town Yogger'
I'm sure that Mr. Popular will forgive you, rip kord
Thanks, all. Now, let's stop goofing around and start filling Grace's comment page. She wants to reach 100 comments so that she can be Ms. Popular. (No relation)
Please note that I put Ms. not Mrs. on that last comment. I don't want rumours going around that Grace and Yog are a couple or anything like that. I know that Grace is trying to get into the Pentastics and well...rumours about her and Yog being a couple would not go over very well in her pledging.
So please note for emphasis:
GRACE AND MR. POPULAR ARE NOT A COUPLE.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
We have to get this longer than toe jam.
I totally agree. We can't do that to grace.
Well then, let's just keep the comments coming, people.
Hey. The last word verification I got was dioped. Is that a real word? Grace, you're a teacher, aren't you? Can you tell me if that is a real word?
what exactly is a sexretary? is it a canadian specialty?
Dear Rip kord... you are my new hero!! Thanks for the effort put forth on my behalf!! Also, the "teacher" in me is want to say that dioped, must be from the latine meaning "God's foot" ped meaning foot dio from dios meaning God. It sounds like a reasonable arguement wouldn't you say? My word verification is dfbfbcl -- which is obviously pronounced defibacle, which is believe is latin for a defibrulator. But I could be wrong...
Dear anonymous, A sexretary is in fact the Albertan version of a secretary... I was almsot a sexretary, but I found out what all was involved just in time. I think it's quite a boring job really.
By the way... I found a movie that blows Solaris out of the water. It's called "Blood of Beast" and it is definitely something else!!!
I'm embarassed to say that I have seen neither of them. That's why I am responding as anonymous.
Thank you (blushing) but my plan was not to become anyone's hero. I only wanted to give you the same oportunities as Mr. Yog has. It is kind of interesting that the comment which made you consider me a hero was the one in which "God put his foot down".
So, by the definition that you gave me and comment that was entered, I believe that it is safe to surmise that I was doing God's Will when I helped you out.
By that same reasoning, I believe that it is God's Will for you to become Ms. Popular. Would you agree, or am I putting too much analysis into this word verification?
I shall have to pray a little more about this.
hmmm... Rip Cord, not only do you seem to have God's foot, but also his ear! I trust that you have acurately interpreted "dioped" as a sign that my blog shall be (by faith) almost, if not entirely, as popular as the V-town Yoggers.
Dear Anonymous, don't even bother just renting "Solaris" and "Blood of Beast" - purchase!! Those are definitely worth adding to YOUR collection.
P.S. Anonymous, you're really Shawn S. aren't you?
I put it to you that blogging is much like birdwatching. An avid blogger or bird-watcher, if you will, places a tasty morsel in view of feathered creatures to aggregate a suitable assemblage for the purpose of observing behavior and fashion or comments,if you will. This is merely a hypothesis. Please feel at ease to postulate further.
Alright now...28 comments including this one. I suppose that if you want to call me a bird, then I'm okay with that. Sad part is that I'ld be a male bird, which means that I have no special markings or attractive qualities. The female bird always has more colour...more beautiful features.
What to the females see in us dull males?
ahhhh Rip cord, you have forgotten it seems, the mallard, the peacock, the quail, the grouse, the pheasant, etc,etc... In most bird types that don't look exactly alike, it is the male that is more colourful, squawks and dances more, and is generally more interesting than the female...
man I'm a nerd!
Then please forgive me for my ignorance. I had thought it to be the other way around.
Boy, I'm so glad that you are a teacher and can correct these errors for lil' ol' me.
I
Love
Grace
she
is
awesome
Dear Secret Admirer!
Thank
you
so
much
sadly
because you are a SECRET admirer
I doubt anyone will actually believe
youre aren't... in fact... me...
but I love how many comments you added in one fell swoop!, good on ya mate!
P.S. now my word verification is owlcb - I assume meaning owl cub! More about birds!! Rip cord, how would you interpret this "sign"
Well...since it is a bird sign, I would say that "Other" really had a handle on what these comments are truly about.
Since the word verification was about an Owl, we KNOW that this MUST be Grace's page. After all, owl's signify the most intelligent of all birds.
By the way. For those who think that I am actually Grace, I'm not.
Proof can be seen by anyone with a keen enough eye.
I'll leave that statement to be pondered by all of you mystery lovers out there. After all, what's the fun of a mystery if you know the answer immediately.
Alright all your fans out there. This comment marks numero 50!!!!!!!!
Yah...yeahaaa...right on!!!!!
Halfway to Mr. Popular's record.
Keep them coming, people. That's the spirit!!!
Ahh Shaz, enjoy the fiddle fest! I will contimue to enjoy the beautiful music of my favorite pianist! To each their own!
Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. Grace, I'm glad that you're comments are skyrocketing! Hopefully you'll be able to reach 100. The only 100 comments I ever reached was an advertisment for Shinbone#7. It's all good. I think it's time for RipKord to reveal his identity.
you're glad, but are you also a little jealous? please say yes, please say yes, please say yes... Not about the comments, but about Harold Jamus, I mean... RipKord being on my side??? kinda, right?
So I know the 100+ comments on yours were on a blog about shinbone #7, but really, you pulled comments on a one letter blog - who does that??
Life once wrecked all my dream ships on the sharp rocks of reality; but in the sunny fantastic isles of insanity, all my barkentines race into port with canvas billowing and with winds singing through the masts.
"It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away."
"Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips."
Dear other, You have the heart of a poet...mine.

P.S. The mistake you make is in trying to fugure it out.
I meant figure it out.. not fugure it out - obviously
"Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of."
"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."
"There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry."
"If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."
"I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability."
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months"
Morality, like art, means a drawing a line someplace.
"I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation."
"Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same."
Aww George Bernard Shaw!! Could take Oscar Wilde on any day.
Good Night!
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months" Love that quote... but I love fashion... does that mean I love ugliness? I'm a snivelling ball of confusion, won't somebody help??
Dear "Other" I see why the Survivors in LOST fear/loathe you. You dare discredit Oscar Wilde??? Only I as a dear and devoted fan, am allowed to do that. Sure, George Bernard Shaw was a clever man... but definitely lacking the wit and veracity of a man like Oscar...Sigh... poor dead, hedonistic, man loving Oscar! ...prisoner of his fleshly desires and crushing "intellect"
My waking thought this morning -"Has enough time elapsed for Grace to formulate a piquant refutation?" (Not in those words, cause I just found them in the thesaurus, but the general idea)
I feel I must elucidate. By "taking Oscar Wilde" I proposed Shaw could subdue Wilde in the erudite arts of acerbic wit, conceited opinion, dogmatic theory, and iconoclastic social criticism.
Do you accede?
Though Shaw was not "man-loving", his atheistic ideology undoubtedly made him as much dead and a prisoner as fleshy desires and the crushing "intellect" of Wilde. Crushing "Intellect" that I might add was equaled by that of Shaw.
Dear Other;
Your wit and eloquence make my heart beat faster, but not as fast as when Grace bats her eyelashes at me. Oh those lovely eyelashes...
Please take my word that I am not Grace just talking about myself. I mean herself. Yes, herself...
What scandalous comments you have on your blog, Grace!
Scandalous
Scan
Duh
luss!
I KNOW!! Outside I'm laughing (well sort of giggling really).. but inside I'm blushing and feeling a little warmer than the climate in here would allow... what does it all mean???
P.S. Other - If I ever find out who you are I'm going to lock you in a room with other Oscar lovers, who will (by force if necessary) show you who's the better "man" Shaw?? Pshaaaw! too droll!
I hereby retract any avowal to Shaw's supremacy. I apostatize all panegyric made to his aggrandizement. I furthermore asseverate my penitence and petition the society of Oscar aficionados for clemency.
Respectfully submitted,
Other
As is befitting any member of the "Oscar afficionados" we are positively dripping with forgiveness for you!
YES!!!!!
You are getting close. I think "Other" probably helped more than li'l ol' me, so I shall wish you all the best at your goal of 100 comments. Just because Toe Jam II was posted, all you Grace lover's should still keep commenting here.
Kudo's to your special mention from a real live Pentastic member!! I'll be crossing my indexes during the next meeting.
I'm not sure what else to say. Now that I can't promote George anymore I have ran out of enthusiasm. Quick say the first thing that comes to mind when you read the word "Enthusiasm" got it, "ENTHUSIASM"
A little short of the mark... but still far beyond my wilder dreams... So thank you comentators one and all, esp. rip cord, other, and secret admirer -you went above and beyond. I am grateful, and feeling loved. I hope you are too!
Awww, Thanks Grace for the special mention! I feel grateful and loved too, just like you.
Did I mention that your profile picture is lovely. I must go to England and get a sweet tan too! hehe
I think England might be the only place to get that kinda hair-do too.
Well I'm sad also that we didn't reach 100 comments but I must thanks you for allowing me to be entertained for hours commenting and looking through the dictionary and reading comments.
Thank* you
We are so close to the 100 mark. Come on, everyone. We can't stop in the mid 90's, can we?
Good golly, no!!!
If I'm going to leave a comment on Grace's blog, it just HAS to be my old number 99. All the best to you, soon to be Ms. Popular.
AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Drum roll please!!!!!!!
prump, prump, prump, prump!
COMMENT NUMBER 100!!!!!!!!
Way to go, Grace!!!! Knew you could do it!!!
Never doubted your fans for a second...no not one!
So, how does it feel to reach 100 comments, Ms. Popular?
I just checked and I'm afraid that Grace is going to need one hundred and two comments to tie with Yog's comments
Well....What da ya know?! ;)
Wow, Grace. How do you feel now that you surpassed the Yog's record comment number?
I have to admit it feels pretty dern good!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work on my behalf, I don't know how I can ever repay you!!! Hmmm maybe I should get back to the normal business of blogging for bloggings sake instead of for egotistical gain!!! I actually need to get to work right now... almost late again.
xx's G
Marsha Marsha Marsha! I mean Shinbone Shinbone Shinbone!
Wow! this is a record number of comments I wonder if it could reach 200!!!
What? don't be so crazy... 200!?! Well alright lets go for it! but we will need everyone's help
You've got my support!
I must commend anonymous' efforts. It would be interesting to see the comment metre go up all the way to 200. Whether it does, or settles off at this 110th comment, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the challenge of getting you to Ms. Popular standings. I'm also glad that you got that little nudge in the Pentastic's direction. Keep on blogging, Shinbone #4. And all the best to you.
I hope this reaches 200! That would be incredible!
Thanks Rip and Yog... I am about to blog something brand new right now, but feel free to comment here anyway... :D
I think it is time to change me from Mr. Popular... obviously, the popularity pales in comparison to "Into the Voidless Blue Yonder."
I can't believe how many comments you have on here! Mind you - it was a good blog. Only took me 3 months to find it to read it... from 'a certain someone's blog.
hmmm, whose a certain someone??
I mean -who is... who's
I'm impressed. I looked back to this blog to see if it ever reached the 200 comment point. Although it didn't, it would appear that people find Grace so interesting that they re-read her stuff even 3 months after the fact. Way to go, Grace.
