Shelby's Life and Whatnot

World's Most Bizarre Comment

Last night I received the world's most bizarre comment on my blog. As far as I can tell, it's not spam (though correct me if I'm wrong--oh thou who art smarter than I). The comment is the last one on my "Shelby Needs..." entry from November 15, 2005. I'll summarize for you.

The entry was a meme in which you type "[your name] needs" into Google and post the first line of the first 15 pages that come up. I also included snarky remarks next to my entries. It was fun, and 5 other people named Shelby did the meme that lead them to my page. A good time was had by all. Until last night, that is.

I got a comment from another Shelby saying, "I'm not liking coming to this and it saying shelby needs a life, lil rude." Actually, nowhere in the entry did it say "shelby needs a life" (the closest proximity said, "Shelby needs me in her life"), but we'll place that aside for now. The "lil rude" part cracks me up. It's rude for me to say Shelby (in general, not pointing at one particular Shelby) needs a life, but it's not rude to leave a comment criticizing my entry, which was clearly posted in jest? Second, you're not liking it? Here's a solution or two--there's a little arrow pointing to the left on the upper left hand corner of your screen. It's called the "back button" and instantly removes you from my page where you can pretend like you've never seen it. If more drastic measures would suit your needs, you may notice a red "X" in the right hand corner. This will solve all of your offensive web surfing needs. Well, not all of them, like if you go to a porn site (accidentally or purposfully) they have those never-ending streams of pop-ups that keep bombarding you no matter how quickly you shut them down. But some good software can take care of that for you.

And third, do you need to get a life? I'm going to go with "yes." Hey, don't feel singled out! I need to get a life too! But just the mere fact that you were sitting at your computer, decided to type "Shelby needs" into Google, followed the link to my page, read the entry (albeit obviously not very closely), and then went to the further effort to write a comment expressing your dislike of my entry--when you clearly could have been doing something more productive and meaningful--indicates to me that you need to get a life.

Just like I need to get a life instead of writing this entry--ha ha.
