Have you ever done this?
You're reading your favorite blogs, and on one of those blogs, you see a post that's just hilarious! So you decide to leave a comment... and man, your comment is just as funny as the post. And you think "I have to remember to come back here to see what other people say!" And you come back later and...
Nothing. Nothing new. Virtual crickets.
And you realize... I just killed the comments.
Do you know what I'm talking about? You leave a comment that you, at the time, think is funny. But really, it's either a little too offensive, or a little too off-subject, or it's so NOT funny that it kinda kills the mood for everyone. And this wouldn't be so bad if you were the 30th or 50th commenter on that post, but... yeah, you were #2. Or three. And the beautiful, hilarious post of that blogger you so enjoy... you just wasted it.
Don't you hate when that happens?
Or... wait. Does this only happen to me? I know for a fact that I sometimes do this (maybe even more frequently than I think). I don't mean to. I actually feel bad for the blogger whose comments I just killed, but then, how do you apologize for that? In the comments?
So, anyway... if you're reading this, and you remember sometime I killed your comments, well... I apologize. Hopefully, I won't do it again.

Yea, I've accidentally done it a few times on Joelle's blog. I thought some stuff I posted was pretty funny, but I don't think anybody else did. So, yes it does happen to other people.
Live & learn!!

How you know that it's not that your comment was just so funny and/or brilliant nobody else thought they could top it so they left it alone? Yeah...that could be it. That's what I tell myself has happened when it happens to me....

I know you're not talking about mine, since you haven't commented in ages!
Actually, most people haven't really commented too much lately. I would kill for even one comment on an entry....talk about crickets chirping!

So that comment you just left on my blog is going to be the only I get, then? Damn you and your wit, I am desperate for comments!

If I leave a comment here and no one else does, then we know for sure that it's me.

Same here, Jen!
And I know I've killed comments some places a few times... I feel pretty bad about it too.

You can kill my comments ANYTIME Mikey. I doubt you could offend me!

I think my comments would have to be alive before someone could kill them, so no worries here!

Like, comment killing sucks harder than Ashley Dupree with 4 grand in her purse. HAHAHA, that's a joke about blowjobs involving a now-forgotten person.
(sits back, waits to see if comments were killed on this post by that)
