And yes, I'd love a crack at that job myself but I'd never survive campaigning for it. I just don't have those kinds of people skills, I don't think.). Maybe he hit the wrong carnival on the submission form?Ahistoricalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004964192885891003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045565.post-1132289879646135372005-11-17T23:57:00.000-05:002005-11-17T23:57:00.000-05:00Humor is, indeed, a very subjective thing.

Where's the sense of humor?)<BR/><BR/>It's a good collection, and it's a tough crowd you face with that carnival: comedy being a subjective thing, I think your rankings... need reconsideration.

The first 3 categories are all good. That last one is not even close. Think of it as school. Everyone passed and graduated, except one person who was shipped back down to nusery school to learn the alphabet.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the linkback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045565.post-1132205661054982312005-11-17T00:34:00.000-05:002005-11-17T00:34:00.000-05:00My comment policy is a response to a particularly ...My comment policy is a response to a particularly nasty blogwar (and perhaps even legal action) related to comment moderation: I'm not the only person who realized that we were a bit vulnerable in that department. <BR/><BR/>re: carnivals: It just amazes me, given the challenge of compiling and presenting blog material in the first place, how creative some of the carnival hosts get. It's become a form of performance art, and I love it. The hard part is being cute/clever without obscuring the meaning of the posts involved: I've seen carnivals where I really couldn't tell what was what. But the Skeptics usually put on a good show.Ahistoricalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004964192885891003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045565.post-1132201163814929762005-11-16T23:19:00.000-05:002005-11-16T23:19:00.000-05:00Don't give my hosting job too much credit...
