La Shawn Barber wants bloggers to answer some questions for her, and you have to do what La Shawn Barber says, so here I go:
1) How long have you been blogging?
Approximately two and a half years.
2) Do you believe you’re addicted to blogging? Please explain, and be honest. It is habit-forming, I must confess. (If I decide to use your response, I may have follow-up questions.)
Occasionally I see something I must comment on or it eats me from the inside, but mainly its more like work now in that I demand a new humor post every morning from myself.
3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long?
Only for vacations. Longest would be a couple weeks for Christmas.
4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?
Early (less than a month after starting) on I wrote this post and decided I just didn’t have it in me and had no readers anyway. What’s the point of writing if no one else sees it? Then oceanguy from Somewhere On A1A… (whoops, yet another blog I need to update on my blogroll) e-mailed a response to his post. I found I was not on his blog under Florida bloggers. My first permalink! Encouraged, I tried some more. In a couple weeks, I finally earned an audience by getting some links by commenting on other blogs and then became obsessed with increasing my traffic.
Who would want to increase their traffic? That’s like wanting to be met with a plague of mosquitos.
Oh yeah, and first.
Apropo of nothing, you have got to close comments on your older posts. That 2002 post is getting spam comments with 2004 dates. I know you’re a highly paid blogging superstar, but that’s got to be eating into the bottom line.
Who would want to increase traffic?
I do, because I need battle with evil scuba ninja robot monkeys (in the form of polite, intelligent conversation) to feel satisfied. Blogging without comments is just like talking to yourself, and they put you in a straight jacket for that…or you become a member of the clergy.
i would like 2 increase traffic…but i dont have a website.
don’t ever stop frank…
(more know thy enemys and news headlines)
My wife yes, my dog maybe, my guns and blog never! Bullseye.
wow, those spammers have really violated your comments in the early posts…
Ugh. I feel violated. Anybody have some acid I could wash my eyes out with?
nope, but i have sum paint thinner. will that suffice?
Good thing you didn’t quit, Frank. What would your readers do when we’re supposed to be working?
I have a few concerns about #2;
Frank J. said “its more like work now in that I demand a new humor post every morning from myself.”
Speaking for myself, this is something I hope Frank reconsiders and adjusts for. I know I’d rather see less humor from Frank J. than see Frank J. get “blogger burnout” and stop compleatly because this is no longer fun for him.
So, Frank J., as much as I love your humor, I do hope you start trying to keep this as fun for yourself as you already do for all of us.
uh…. working?
I have to agree with Chris James. Some of Frank’s posts are quite obviously posted just because he feels like he needs to post something.
Please Frank, don’t post something just because you feel you have to. Only post when you feel inspired!
Art imitates life.
No frank must post every day untill he shrivles up and dies. I demand it! and once he is day I shall take all his trafic for my blog MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA

Chris,
It’s like a due date; columnists have to write something every week. I don’t fear burnout; I’ve been operating this way for a long time.
Protagonist, look at the dates on those: life is imitating Art!
I said as much on my new blog
very interesting…
…continuing with your blue pen question…
They say the black pens, they are very French.
Violent jihad or holy war against unbelievers. Murder, stealing, torture, slavery and rape against unbelievers is acceptable if couched in terms of jihad.
Christians and Jews allowed to live in Muslim dominated lands provided they pay a special tax and accept their status as second class citizens. The status of polythiests is tenuous at best, they will eventually be eliminated either by persecution or death.
My dear brother, please read Chronicles of Islamic Wisdom.
Here are a few excerpts from the book of one of Islam s’ supreme
spiritual leader: Ayatollah Khomeini: “A man can have sexual
pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However he should not
penetrate, sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and
damages the child then he should be responsible for her
subsistence all her life. This girl, however does not count as
one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to
marry the girls sister” – From Khomeini’s
book, “Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran,
1990.
“A man can have sex with animals such as sheep?s, cows, camels
and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his
orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own
village, however selling the meat to the next door village
should be fine”. From Khomeini’s book, “Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth
volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990
“If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel,
their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their
milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed
and as quickly as possible and burned.” The little green book,
Sayings of Ayatollah Khomeini, Political, Phylosophica, Social
and Religious with a special introduction by Clive Irving, ISBN
number 0-553-14032-9, page 47″It is better for a girl to marry
in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her
husband’s house rather than her father’s home. Any father
marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in
heaven” – From Khomeini’s book, “Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth
volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990 REMEMBER IRAN CONTRA?
Eleven things are impure: urine, excrement, sperm…non-Moslem men and women…and the sweat of an excrement-eating camel.Ayatollah Khomeini
The most important information to know about Muslims,is that they will smile to your face and cut your throat from the back.
