Yesterday I wrote a lame sentence, and this is what Eric commented: "I usually wait until they make a movie about the Nobel or Pulitzer winner, then, if the actor playing the role the Pulitzer or Nobel winner is worthy of acclaim, and only then, do I consider them noteworthy, and commit them to memory, like when Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford won the Pulitzer," which I think is really funny (and also saves me from having to write my own original sentence today, which is important to me-- not to do any good work on the day after the Super Bowl, because I want to contribute to the country-wide post-Super Bowl malaise in hopes that someday the NFL, in the interest of national productivity and for the good of the economy, will move the damn thing to Saturday.)

    Dave has been bitching about Super Bowl Sunday since before he had a job to go to Monday morning.

    Dave,
    I know this is not the proper forum for this, but I know someone who is feeling like you thought she was picking her nose in the office, but she was just rubbing it(her sinuses are dry in this weather), and when you walked in she moved her hand so you wouldn't think she was picking her nose; however,in an ironic twist of fate, she belived you thought she was picking her nose because you were smirking, and now she is feeling a little embarrassed, but she would never tell you this in person, and will probably be angry that I posted this for the untold millions that visit your blog, which is why I didn't use her name, but I have spent a lot of time with her, and have never known her to pick her nose or fabricate a lie this complicated to get away with picking her nose.

    This is around the 20th time we have seen a comment outdo the original sentence.

    only twenty times? that means my record is 426-20 in the Dave vs. commenter battle-- certainly cy young material.

    and yes i did write the sentence last night-- i sleep easier when my sentence is already written.

    Guess what has two thumbs and just won 20 bucks in a long standing bet with Darren over whether or not you were really picking your nose when you ducked under your desk... This guy.

    my sis and i have long been working on a book about covert nose picking. she is the master. (she had a flicking and smearing technique that was just unbeatable) i think it just might get published with the help of the office. may my return prove fruitful.
