Too Much Time?

You know what's weird? There's this one dude who makes it in early to every comment thread on the entire NYT site to post a topical limerick. I mean...what? Now of course searching around I don't see one immediately. OK, here we go. Not like I'm one to complain about "dorking around on the interwebs." Actually, I do lots of "realshop" now, as we call it in our family. Realshop is the opposite of Photoshop; you manipulate actual objects to achieve some desired effect. You can see many of them here.

EDIT: the canonical phrase is, of course, "dorking around on the loserwebs." Sorry, everyone.

He is apparently not the only one. I got intrigued after reading your entry and went on searching. Here is a link to another post: http://bygonebureau.com/2010/03/17/the-comment-box-poets-of-the-new-york-times/

How very very cool, eh?

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
