Comment of the week
About 3 o'clock every Friday, I get an email from features editor Elizabeth Kubler Ross asking for suggestions for the Comment of the Week, a print-only feature that appears in Monday's Sunrise section. When the email arrives, though, I'm usually out buying cocktail onions.
So, please help. Scour this week's post, find a corker or a doozie, and copy or paste it into this thread. Brevity helps, and so does a stand-alone, self-explanatory quality.
Update: I am sorry. It turns out that a D@L comment has been the COTW for two weeks running. So, in fairness to the other fines Sun blogs, I am not submitting this week.
The COTW for October 3- 9
"Well, there goes the only redeeming feature of Baltimore City jury duty!" -- Baltofoodie
The COTW for October 10-16
"Taking my fiance to Capital Grille for his birthday. Shhhh he doesn't know it yet!!!" -- AR
Comments
I wondered what ol' Elizabeth was up to these days; now I know. Just tell her you're in the denial phase and let her deal with it.

I can't believe this old feature is back. I hate hate hate it. Maybe you could just do it once a month. It really bums me out, but I guess it's going to happen.
I'm just lazy is all. But I'm not married to this feature

Oh, Sir Richard! I thought you would get the joke. I wasn't complaining seriously; I was going through the five stages of grief really fast ... denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Richard, don't start listening to your editors. Management will always take good ideas and dumb them down. Trust me, I'm in management...that's what we do.

ahhh, I think I goofed here.
It turns out that D@L posts have been featured in two consecutive COTW roundups. So, to be fair (to the lovely people who comment on the other charming blogs) this might be a null category this week.

Oh, I thought the COTW print thing was a joke. So it's a real thing? Kind of ironic since we have no way of ever seeing it here. I wonder how many commenters ever see an actual paper version of the Sun?

B>) , some of us still subscribe to the print edition. That was how I found out I was chosen for COTW (from another blog) a month or two ago. No one came around with a crown, unfortunately. Or even emailed me ...

The paper paper is a nice thing but I'm not coughing up 75 cents for a slim weekday edition from the paper box.

Owl, that's why we have libraries.

Re: the paper vs. online question.
Close to ninety percent of my paper papers go straight to the recycle bin, unread.
I retain my subscription to the paper paper mostly out of a sense of nostalgia and out of a sense of obligation. Until the newspaper business figures out a better business plan, the paper paper pays for the online presence. My subscription allows me access to this site with a clear conscience. Not that I'm judging anyone. Certainly not....

A guilt-driven business model? Okay.

Owl,
Seems to work for the greeting-card industry ... and the church.

With all due respect, my branch of the Church quit dealing in guilt long ago. We do feed a lot of people though ... foretaste of the heavenly banquet and all of that. That's at least one of the motivations for hanging out on this blog.
