I have just found a wonderful new hobby: skipping. I now skip everywhere I go, boy is it a lot of work, my legs are sore from skipping to and from class. But it's a lot of fun too.

So, anyway, I was chatting with a friend of mine this evening about life and I heard this fantastic story. Apparently his senior year of high school on Valentine's Day he decided he wanted to do something nice for his girlfriend, so he convinced one of her teachers to let him hide in the classroom and then at the start of the class he popped out and put a song on for her. She then got up and started slow dancing with him, and then the whole class folowed suit and started slow dancing among themselves. The story sounded a lot better in person. I just can't believe stuff like that actually happens.

Anyway, when I was six, or some young age I went to see the movie Edward Scissor Hands, and I was so disturbed halfway through the movie that I made my mom get up and take me out of there because it was so sad. The people were just being so mean to him. Ever since then I have been wondering what happened throughout the rest of the movie. Until tonight, when I finally rented it and watched the rest of it. And boy does that movie suck, it didn't end up happy at all! I definitely don't recommend it.

Oh, and the first paragraph of this post was made up, by Robert, actually. He really wanted me to pretend I wrote that and use it as a post and then reveal later that it was him all along. So, I went half way and decided to pretend for half a post that it was mine. He matched my style very well though!

   Long posts don't get any comments*. You should have stopped after the first paragraph.
   
   *this comment doesn't count.

   You are just bitter.

   This is a test. I'm sorry you had to read this.

   And who says long entries don't get comments?

   Well, the last short one you did had 14. This one has zero, since ones from the person who wrote the post don't count.

   Actually, technically, this one has three even if ones from the person who wrote the post don't count. Granted, all of them are about the number of comments that this post has, but that's hardly the point.

   Technically there's one, because I also wrote some of the post.

   Hahaha!

   (I can post such a useless comment because mine don't count.)

   Well, technically none of the post was actually yours, because you wrote it anonymously and gave it up to Benjamin to write as his own. You gave up ownership of your bit right away. If asked, I would not call you one of the post-writers.
   Also, notice your own use of words: "the person who wrote the post" not "the people who wrote all of the different parts of the post." Hence, technically the person who wrote the post would be the person who wrote the majority of the post, which is Benjamin. So, his posts don't count.
   Notice, that the only thing logically sound about this post has been its use of italics, which is less logically sound than excessive.

   I am thoroughly baffled.

   But isn't baffled a great word? I might put it up there close to the likes of 'alas'.

    I think it's pretty clear that when I said "the person who wrote the post" I mean the people who wrote it. There's no way you could argue that Ben wrote the first paragraph of that post. I wrote it, and gave it to Ben to post as if he had written it, although in reality he did not.

    I added some random bold and italics to prove how right I am. I think.

    If you call that thinking, I'd be curious what babbling would be

    Hey! It ate the rest of my comment!
    Aanyway, you're forgetting the fundamentals of history. There are no documents proving that you wrote it, and one document proving that Benjamin wrote it (the post itself), so we can conclusively determine that he is the writer.
    Don't even get me started on historicity, or malleability

    Hehe... Somebody broke Benjamin's website!

14. Robert

    I think it was you.

    Ben wrote, in that post, that I wrote the first paragraph.

    That's just heresay. It doesn't hold up.

16. Robert

    20 February 2004 10:21pm UTC

    No, you don't hold up.

17. Benjamin

    21 February 2004 02:27am UTC

    Why don't you two shut up.

18. The Fool

    21 February 2004 02:54am UTC

    No, you shut up.

    Yeah! You go Fool.

    You'll notice, the lot of you, that this post now has more comments than just about any other post... ever... So, we can reasonably conclude that the way to get the most responses in a post is to argue... preferably about nothing important.

    Well, duh.

    Well, duh you!

    *ehm* I mean... uhh...
