Please keep your agenda off my blog

I just killed out a comment purporting to out another commenter, a regular, as a former owner of a restaurant. When I went to the entry it was posted under, I saw there were also a couple of comments about how he cheated on his girlfriends. Please, this isn't the place.

Also, it doesn't matter who's behind the nom de blog, commenters have a right to stay anonymous here as long as they don't have an ulterior motive. And sometimes when they do, if they're doing no harm.

I would hate to be outed for my former job as a lion tamer. Man, would that be awkward . . . oops.

and Yom Po hates it when folks find out she's really a Mime...oops!

All of my motives are ulterior.

Obviously the Sun is missing out on a key demographic, not having a rumours and innuendo blog. Look at Perez Hilton, after all. Combine that and food, you could control the world.

Agenda? We don't even have a schedule. It's all we can do to maintain a calendar for the doctor's appointments.

Just think what would happen if someone outed me as a registered independent!

All of my motives are interior.....

All my motives are the "e" type, and my friends think I'm a ham.

My motives tend more towards posterior.

And once again, Dining@Large has been raised to a loftier level of discourse. Just what EL had in mind when she put this post up today.

Agenda? What agenda? We don't need no stinking agenda!

Note to self: wake up before EL to see all the nasty gossip, or it shall be gone (and yes, rightfully so).

Actually, in my case it really means stay up extra late, because I never wake up before EL, not even close. EL - do you try to wake up that early or is it a natural talent??

It's a curse. Never used an alarm clock in my life. EL

BG, I thouht the same thing...damn, I missed the good dirt!

I don't think Elizabeth ever sleeps, actually. I remember her approving posts at 3 am in the bad old days.

Once again, there is no topic so serious we can't make a series of jokes about it.

It wasn't really good dirt, it was just kind of weird. AND it was in a post from about eight months ago. It didn't really make much sense to me when I read it

I've always thought sleep was overrated. If I start writing my Sunday sermon at 9:00 PM Saturday, it's still in short term memory the next morning.

Oh no! I've been outed! A mime is a terrible thing to waste...

Point to YP.

Please keep your blog off my agenda.

Deal. :-) EL

With great pleasure.

EL, I'm glad we could come to an agreement without the use of violence.

Are we BFF again?

Please keep your magenta off my dog!

Are you sure that you are Sean or are you really Emily Litella?

Bees steep four placenta cough thy bog!

sean, I hope you are not planning on grilling the placenta after the Big Event. I much prefer the tradition of planting it with a special tree.

Dahlink...err... no.

Joyce, nice Radner reference!
