Hmmm… Do you allow outlanders, like this “Normal” resident into the club or is it for official Peorians only?

Funny.

Your bylaws inspired me to start blogging — not that I have anything particularly relevant or interesting to say. It’s just . . . I dunno, the requirements seemed so lax that I couldn’t resist joining the club.

I took the test and was rated a right of center moderate. But then so many of us extreme right-wingers are pro-choice like me.

Heh, it’s too bad we can’t apply these standards to the regulars at pjstar.com. But, then again, would we really want most of those people in our club?

I think you’re just so far out to the right, Vonster, you’ve forgotten what the middle looks like.

Maybe if I really did any of those things I’d take offense, Morton. But since it’s just your skewed perception…

If you have a blog, you’re basically in the club.

This started because I mentioned the upcoming blogger bash to my wife, who volunteers waaaay too much. She was jealous because while she has met many good people and made many good friends and generally enjoys it, she has to attend a bunch of boring meetings and do stuff that she doesn’t always want to do to fulfill her obligations. I, on the other hand, just have this silly blog, have no obligations and our meetings are at a bar; attendance optional.

Snarkiness, negativity, being a bitch, and sarcasm are all very endearing qualities in the blogging community. Just don’t be a fascist. No one likes a fascist. Or a tattletale.

Ok…so I can be a little slow…who am I kidding! I can be a lot slow at times. Is this a membershio that happens when you start a blog? Is this a club that you have to be asked to join? Can you ask to join? Is there a probation for a first offense? A double secret probation?
I can be snarky, negative, and bitchy. In fact, throw in sarcasm and I’m there! But I have been trying to be good because I want people to like me. (Stupid self esteem issues!) Can I play too?

“Must know how to type.”

You see that’s why this is a list of bylaws for Peoria blogs and does not apply to commentors on pjstar.com.

HAVE YOU SeEn SOOME oF TheR POSTINGs? Everytime I read comments on stories at the Journal Star it seems like they were written by Borat.

Bill is a reverend isn’t he? Surely it can be a ‘church’ deduction. Church’s and Schools get away with tax-free robbery all the time.

BeanCounter point of clarification: I don’t think the laptop fund is a registered charity with the IRS. Don’t try to deduct it, the tax man will come for you

Hmmm.. guess I need to get up off my ass and:
1) obtain an interest, other than my bratty kids
2) post more often (feeling brain dead of late)
3) start commenting more (one down, two to go)

Amen, sir. Amen.

How about this one: No commenting on the blogs of others if you’re a borderline fascist that posts anti-civil liberty propaganda and displays pro-fascism tendencies on their own blog while refusing to admit anyone else might have a valid point. *cough*Vonster*cough*.
