the COMMENTS experiment

This post is an open thread, specifically to see who's interested in leaving comments. Longtime readers of this blog know I'm not in favor of comments, despite the good arguments about community-building, etc. I'm doing this mainly out of curiosity, and don't promise to implement comments in the long term. If the the open thread allows Hairy Chasms readers to talk to each other, then maybe-- just maybe-- I'll allow comments on more posts. But if a single asshole decides to s(p)oil things for everyone else, then comments go poof, and said asshole can slurp my cheesy balls.

UPDATE: Given my retrofitted, old-style template, it's not obvious how to append a comment to this post, so here's the procedure: click the time stamp, scroll to the bottom of the post, and click on the "Post a Comment" link. As Uma says, "Warmer... warmer... disco."

  1. I hit this blog just about every other day (for over a year now)...today's post about the wisdom tooth is typical of the good humor and wit that I find. I once nearly spewed the water I was drinking through my nose while I was reading.

    Someday you'll owe me a keyboard!

    Hope everything stays pain free until September...Lordy that a long time from now!

  5. Comments!!! Whoo hooo!
    Kevin - before I had some stuff done to my mouth in Japan last year, I last visited the dentist just a couple months before you did back in '92.
    You SHOULD floss!! My bro's dentist commented his teeth were in better shape than when he left his last visit because he started flossing a couple times a day! I even turned my co-workers on to it here. Why don't Koreans floss? They floss after every meal now!

    Thus ends the floss PSA.
    I hope you avoid the pain, and I like the comments!

  7. I'd leave some comment spam here about enlarging body parts, but given the stuff you usually write about, not sure anyone would notice!

    FREE THE COMMENTS!

    That's my new bumper sticker...in honor of Big Hominid.

  8. Nice, Kevin. There's been a lot of times I wanted to comment on one of your posts but being the lazy type I am, it was just too much trouble to open up another browser window, click on favorites, then gmail, and go through all the trouble of writing an email. By that time, I'd probably forget what I had to say in the first place. Having said that, I vote for comments on all future posts. If the rabble gets out of hand, you can always close them again. Or, you can use haloscan to handle your comments - I think they have a function to approve comments before they're posted, and they have a trackback system as well.

  9. Wassup, biiiiotches?

    I think we can all agree that Kevin needs to start telling the truth about his sordid affairs and unfulfilled suicide pacts with underage students and spend less time waxing nostalgic about the time he dropped acid with his Golden Retriever, right?

    COMMENTZ IZ TEH SHIT!

    > BOWEOUL
    Can I have one of those vowels? I think you bought too many.

    > When Joel was mountain did he look pretty?
    If you break me off some of what you had, most definitely,

    > you will see ojingo to your toilet
    Fuck yeah!

    Peace, bro, these contribuitions alone should be reason enough for Kevin to keep comments open.

  12. I think this blog's going to gain a reputation for attracting the crazies, as well as the possibly-autistic.

    Cool.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!

All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.

AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
