You know, I’ve never been under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but I think that this might be what it feels like. Getting 241 comments in one day is so heady!
So, I thought I’d give you the tallies as to the verdicts in the cases Mikey vs. Ronnica and Ronnica vs. The Bubble Dude. The frog has yet to file suit.
In the case of Mikey vs. Ronnica, the jury of my peers (that’d be you all) believed me to be in the right by a vote of 39 to 6. Twenty-seven people abstained and just told me how funny I am. I’m cool with that, too. =)
A few of the post-trial jury interviews revealed the true feelings of the jurors:
“This is the ghost of Mikey and it’s NOT okay!!” – Mrs. Mouthy
Whoa, whoa. Who let a ghost on the jury? Particularly of his own case?
“And this is Mikey’s Mom and I AM GOING TO COME AND GET YOU!!!! That is the way it is with us bugs, we stick together!!” – Felicia Eis
Who SCREENED this jury???
“I will think twice before killing a spider next time. I cant get the picture of that little guy holding on for dear life before finally losing his grip. Poor thing!” – Never a Dull Moment
But he crossed the LINE!
“You were nice enough to let hime live for a while in your corner! I could not have done that.” – Kelly Deneen
That’s what I’m talking about.
“I’ve had extra company in the shower before, he and Mikey must be cut from the same egg sac.” – Becky
Ah, sympathy. Or maybe this is a conspiracy?
“I hope you didn’t hit a nerve with Mr. Spider…or shall I say a “spider vein”?” - Emma
I’m sure I did.
“You aren’t alone. I’m afraid I would have done the same thing. I pay the mortgage and don’t tolerate intruders.” – Peggy
Yeah! I don’t see him chipping in his share of the rent. Moving on…
——————————————————————————–
In the case of Ronnica vs. The Bubble Dude, the jury of my peers found The Bubble Dude to be off his rocker by a vote of 26 to 21. Four jurors were out blowing bubbles themselves and forgot to weigh in.
Our interviews with the jurors revealed the tension of the close decision:
“That is a little odd… but bubbles do make everyone happy – right?” – Kimmie0270
But does that make it right? Should somethings be done in the privacy of your own home?
“My mom used to carry the phone reciever, complete with cord, in her purse. (this was before cell phones!) At stop lights she would “answer” it and tell the person next to her “its for you” while stretching phone..cord and all…out of the window. Some people are just trying to share smiles!” - Never A Dull Moment
That explains your blog title!
“There’s no accounting for guys ~ they are a very strange species, indeed! Maybe the bubble-blower just felt a little quirky that day? :)” - Bebe
“Hmmm. There must be something wrong with me. That actually sounds like fun. In fact, as I read it, I started thinking that I needed to get some bubbles in my car, too. I may still… but really it’s for fun not for freak. I promise.” – Michelle
Maybe the Bubble Dude is really a girl?
“My first thought was drugs.Then flirting.Then maybe I was thinking he is just trying to quit smoking. Maybe he needs to replace his smoking with something else. hehe!” – Kelly Deneen
That’s a reasonable explanation, I suppose. It is NC. Everyone is quitting smoking.
“With people pointing guns at one another in traffic, I’d say bubbles are a welcomed change. If he tried to get out of his car though, I would’ve gunned it.” - Mrs. Bear
Gunned it? Or gunned him? Maybe there needs to be another trial…
“Maybe he is a professional clown and was heading to a party and needed to warm up his bubble blowing muscles!! :)” – Michelle
I need to stretch my bubble-blowing muscles right now…
“I used to drive around wearing a duck bill, blowing bubbles…” - Hot Tub Lizzy
No WONDER he got sympathy from the jury. It’s made up of a bunch of crazies! =)
“I remember reading once that thugs tend to avoid crazy people themselves, though, so you might want to go get your own bottle of bubbles…” – Mrs. Mouthy
Ah, good point, good point. Let me put that on my grocery list.
“There is that fine line. Between good old fashioned fun. And creepy.”There is that fine line. Between good old fashioned fun. And creepy.“ – Kat
I think that’s what we’ve shown here today. Have a good weekend, everyone!
Hi! Curiosity brought me back again today. if you don’t mind me asking, where are you getting your divinity degree? I graduated from UNC And I have a few friends earning the same degree at Duke. I’m learning through this blogging thing that it really is a small world.
Glad you enjoyed your day in the spotlight. You certainly deserved it!
It took me a week to get back to everyone who commented the day I was featured…whew LOL
You are in one word: HILARIOUS!!!
I’d like to add you to my blog roll and will definitely keep coming back to keep up with you!
I love the way you compiled the comments. What a great idea. Also I do not advocate gunning anyone, just stepping on the gas. ;-) Thanks for stopping by.
Wow you are a blogging queen! Getting to all us ‘crazies’ so quickly. I love how you tallied up all the comments… so much fun to read! I’ll have to check in on you more often, to get a laugh and to make sure you’re ok… after the spiders, and crazy people and all.
WOW! 294 comments! I’d never be able to keep up! Staci here…from Oklahoma…I’m JUST now getting around to spreading the love back around from my Spotlight day with BATW! Thanks so much for your sweet comments! I’ll have to come back and read!! But, for now, I’m off to spread the love and tell everyone how special they made my day :) BOOMER SOONER! have a great weekend :)
Lol! SITS hangover, that’s cute. And as for the UM Rebels– no problem, ANY time! :)
I’ll be back to your blog again soon, SITSa. TGIF!
That was totally how I felt the day after. :)
It’s like coming down off of a serious high, that I’ve never been on. Okay, bad analogy. You get the idea though, right?
Hope you had a great SITS day!
I’m glad you had such a great response to your SITS day. I loved your recap and reply to comments left and I’m glad mine made you laugh. :)
Dude, I so know what you mean about the SITS hangover – I’m still staggering myself! :D
Happy Weekend!
241 comments?! Wow… that’s a whole lot of blogs to visit and comment back on. I’ll say you’ll have a SITS hangover. :)
:-) Glad you had fun with the SITS feature!!! That’s a lot of comments!
SITS hangover. That’s funny!
You have a good weekend too!
Thanks for sharing these fun comments and your reaction to them! Now that I’ve read MrsBear’s comment, I kinda feel mine was a bit harsh. Who knows, maybe you’ll see Bubble Dude again…
i LOVE your “hangover”!!! It was just as much fun to read as your blog was yesterday. Oh – and I am serious abot that little “parable of the frog” thing.
That was too funny about the 2 lbs. leaving the comment! I was wondering who in the world that was!!! Thanks for the laugh!
Love all the quotes! Hilarious stuff.
I was out yesterday so I came by today. Great post. Congrats late on SITS.
I missed you yesterday, but came to say hi to my fellow NC BATW girl. :)
LOL! I’m slowly crawling my way through some SITS blogs and am absolutely cracking up right now. I’m pretty good at figuring out people’s actions or the meaning behind something they’ve said…and I can’t for the life of me figure out the bubbles. Enjoying your blog! :)
I’m glad you had a great SITS day! I’ve added you to my list of blogs that I follow too!
Wow, you got featured eh? Gratz! I gave up on them myself. I felt like I was this tiny person over in the corner trying to get their attention but there were all these tall people in front of me. Tall people with longer attention spans then me. I still have the button and all, I just don’t count on ever being profiled. :(
So clever pulling your favorite lines from the comments, that was fun to read. Glad you found my comment witty. Thanks for the comment.
Hangover… :) Funny!
Great, now I have my own “being quoted on a blog” hangover. Gr. But it was TOTALLY worth it.
