While some might say that my blog is much ado about nothing, I don’t know these people so that shouldn’t count.
My writing helps keep the voices in my head in my head where they belong and not Touretting all over the place.
My neighbors drop in from time to time so I can tell you how much I despise them and when the rest of the world gets in my way, you know about it. Filling in the blanks are reviews of shows or operas I’ve gone to, random thoughts and stories about why my family should be arrested.
The only time I get a decent idea to write about is when I’m stuck at my office job so I’m considering just doing the office thing as a hobby. Discuss.
I try to make most of my posts funny but every now and then, a peak at my humanity somehow defies my attempts to edit it out. I’m currently looking for the right pill to take care of that.
I started this blog in October 2004 so if anyone wants to make me an Easy Bake cake, I’m cool with that.
Site Meter tells me that I average about 73 visits a day but I’m pretty sure 72 of those are me checking to see if anyone’s visited.
No income and therefore I pass the savings of no income tax directly to you.
If you have a sense of humour about life or just plain need someone to laugh at, I’m your man. Pick through my ramblings and be merciless.
It varies but generally, I spend about an hour or more when I’m writing something. A great deal of time is taken up while I’m editing. Even a sentence can screw me out of quite a while if I let it.
Life’s too short not to enjoy (me). I won’t be around forever you know.
Write a little or write a lot but write something! Visit other blogs, comment on what you read, engage in discussion, have fun.

Heck, I’m still pretending to read YOUR blog.
This was the ad that popped up right under your entry:
Free Ann Coulter
Ann’s scathing commentary emailed directly to you each week - Free!
www.humanevents.com
Boy do these search engine robots know you or what??
September 10th, 2007 - 7:27 pm
Dale’s my biggest blog crush. And his headlines are to die for!
I’m really bother, though, that the ad above these comments is for subscribing to Ann Coulter’s e-mail shite.
September 10th, 2007 - 7:53 pm
How the hell did Ann Coulter show up? And will she stay because we keep saying her name? Oh Beckeye, I think the only thing to do is to keep voting for me. Please help.
Beth, you’re my favourite crushee so there! Stop saying Ann Coulter!
September 10th, 2007 - 9:16 pm
I was gonna vote for you till I saw that Coulter chick on here….
September 10th, 2007 - 9:30 pm
Ann Coulter’s got a crush on Dale, nyah nyah nyah!
Secretly, I’ve always suspected that she was just a figment of somebody’s imagination. Now I know she is one of your Tourette’s voices. That explains a lot.
September 10th, 2007 - 10:06 pm
The best part is, I’ve never mentioned her name anywhere on my blog. She must be one magnificent … never mind.
September 11th, 2007 - 1:39 am
daleish of passionofthedale.blogspot.com must win. His blog is The Word.
September 11th, 2007 - 8:06 am
Dale is the finest man who ever lived.
September 11th, 2007 - 5:45 pm
Katie, first it was Grease, then me, now you are The Word!
Bubs, I couldn’t agree more but I won’t say it because I’m humble.
September 11th, 2007 - 5:58 pm
I am one of Dale’s most devout disciples. I drink from the fountain of dalejuice for enlightenment. Dale is God and I am his unworthy whore. Maybe this will make us rich.
September 11th, 2007 - 8:26 pm
What could Katie want with riches when she’s got me? Talk about an embarrassment.
September 11th, 2007 - 11:48 pm
What are you saying, God? You can’t use a few bucks either?
September 12th, 2007 - 5:58 pm
I’ll share my entire kingdom with you little one.
And look, yay! I finally got a thumbs down. I love it when people hate me! I hate them back.
September 13th, 2007 - 2:11 pm
I read your first post and I will be back for more for sure..:)
September 13th, 2007 - 9:57 pm
Enjoying your posts as well Marloes!
September 16th, 2007 - 3:50 am
Came back for more,…:)
September 16th, 2007 - 1:55 pm
… and to think… I knew Dale when he was a nobody! Look at him now! *wink
September 16th, 2007 - 2:25 pm
I will be Marloes, and I voted for you again!
Oh Kate, I’m still a nobody but one day, the world is mine!!
September 16th, 2007 - 3:48 pm
I voted.
I’m going to submit too!
September 16th, 2007 - 5:42 pm
Submit Tanya, I command you.
September 16th, 2007 - 5:44 pm
Well, it’s easy to worship you, Dale! You’re so fantastic!
(ugh, that sounds so fawning!)
September 16th, 2007 - 7:14 pm
Dale - your blog curls my toes and my hair. Stop being so amazing…it’s really not fair to the rest of us.
September 17th, 2007 - 3:51 pm
Dale’s so dreamy ………….
September 17th, 2007 - 4:49 pm
What the hell did I just do?
September 17th, 2007 - 6:07 pm
Thank you for submitting Tanya, you know you love fawning and crushing and such!
Chelene, please never wear open toed shoes around me. If I knew how to stop, I’d consider it.
No, you! Beth Beth Beth.
T., you’ve fallen now and you’ll never get up!
September 18th, 2007 - 12:50 pm
Tourette is a verb! Who knew?
Finding new uses for words is exciting, howsoever it may happen.
Be checkin’ back in for sure.
September 18th, 2007 - 2:29 pm
Well..ok…I did it again, Im sure you’ll tell me when and if I start to behave like a spammer?
September 18th, 2007 - 6:17 pm
Margo Moon, hello! I’ll be checking you out shortly too! Please use Tourette’s any effing way you like, it’s not just for the diagnosed anymore!
You’re on the fasttrack Marloes but does this mean I now have to display my co-dependency and vote for you again? Yes it does.
September 19th, 2007 - 6:45 am
We really should stop meeting this way. We are wearing the thumb out,..bless him
September 19th, 2007 - 10:53 pm
We’ll buy a new thumb after we win the big money Marloes, all is not lost.
September 20th, 2007 - 7:55 am
OK I’ve voted 4 times now. Do I get a cookie?
September 20th, 2007 - 8:27 am
Keep it up and you’ll get several and maybe even the plate Bluez! Thanks.
September 20th, 2007 - 11:31 am
I brought all my meds over, Dale. Do we just throw them into that bowl on the table?
September 20th, 2007 - 2:51 pm
Dale, don’t think I don’t know it was you who gave me the thumbs-down vote. I should’ve listened to my 5th grade teacher when she told me, “You talk too much.” No, that was all my other teachers. My 5th grade teacher told me, “Never trust a Canadian.” But I was too busy talking to pay attention. Now I’m sorry.
September 20th, 2007 - 9:48 pm
Empty them all in there Barbara, I get the first handful though. What should we wash them down with?
Your fifth grade teacher was at least as wise as those guys from South Park Beckeye!
September 22nd, 2007 - 4:08 pm
Your blog is still winning. How is this possible? Sure, your blog is better than mine, but so what?? This is America, where we reward the mediocre!
September 23rd, 2007 - 8:46 am
Yep..once again, been here, done it….
*I’m gracefully steppin’ out of the race, no way I can win this competition*
September 24th, 2007 - 6:44 am
How close are you to the Oktoberfest celebrations Marloes? Hand out your URL and say ‘come up and vote for me sometime’.
September 24th, 2007 - 4:13 pm
@Dale, too far away to attend and too close to want to…if that makes any sense at all, if not, call it a case of Double Dutch
September 26th, 2007 - 3:45 pm
My money says that Dale will pop that +100 ranking cherry by the end of business today.
September 26th, 2007 - 5:34 pm
I know exactly what you mean Marloes. I think.
It’s getting closer Barbara, I can almost taste it!
September 26th, 2007 - 9:55 pm
You’re up to 100!? Well, I know of a charity you can donate the money to. It’s the BeckEye Needs a New Pair of Shoes Fund.
September 26th, 2007 - 10:54 pm
You might get them yet Beckeye, keep voting!
Will you be going to the ABBA party barefoot?
September 26th, 2007 - 11:40 pm
I’ve been away, and I’m sorry that I haven’t been voting. But, I’m on board now!
September 27th, 2007 - 8:02 am
Today my vote goes to you!
I first started reading your blog merely for the labels. I have since returned for more than the labels.
September 27th, 2007 - 8:04 am
Do I have to comment every time I vote?
September 27th, 2007 - 3:10 pm
Well said!
September 27th, 2007 - 3:24 pm
That’s no excuse Pezda! Well, okay, it is. Thanks for the vote.
Thanks for the nice comment Allison, I enjoy reading your adventures and hearing them too with those tasty song choices. I’d hate to just be a label to you.
If you have that illness that makes you do it, you have to Tanya. Otherwise, no. Just do it.
Are you talking to me Grant Miller?
September 28th, 2007 - 6:42 am
There, I did it again. How on earth will you cope while Im away this week end?
September 28th, 2007 - 12:42 pm
You didn’t read the fine print, Dale. Winner gets $25 and a date with Ann Coulter! Ha ha, joke’s on you.
September 28th, 2007 - 5:56 pm
How selfish of you Marloes! Bring back lots of good stories at least!
I never read the fine print Beckeye, perhaps this is why life is filled with little and horrifying surprises all the time. Will you come along as a ‘chaperone’ but one with weaponry?
September 28th, 2007 - 5:59 pm
I’m gettin pretty sick of looking at thumbs. I lost count now, I think I’ve voted 1,562,895,450 times
September 28th, 2007 - 6:30 pm
Strange that my numbers don’t reflect that Bluez. Just who are you voting for!
September 28th, 2007 - 8:06 pm
So let me get this straight. If Dale loses and Beckeye wins, Beckeye gets to go on a date with Anne Coulter? Not a good deal, Beckeye. Think it over.
September 29th, 2007 - 7:48 am
I’d pay to see the Anne Coulter / Beckey date-showdown Zed!
September 29th, 2007 - 4:57 pm
Dale, I voted again and now I’m commenting because I need you to know that I voted or what would be the point?
September 29th, 2007 - 6:06 pm
1,562,895,451 th time
September 29th, 2007 - 9:01 pm
I’m sorry to have to steal all your votes, Dale, but I just got the word that I won.
No, wait…I just got the word that Mike put up my interview.
Now all your disciples must vote for me!
September 29th, 2007 - 9:21 pm
Will you hurry the hell up and snag that number three spot already? I can’t keep carrying you your whole life you know!
September 29th, 2007 - 9:22 pm
Daleish, you are so butch. You know how weak my vulva lips get when you dish up your manliness.
I remain your blogslut…
jewgirl
September 30th, 2007 - 8:13 am
The point is that now I know our love will stand the test of vote counting Chelene!
Bluez, you’re all thumbs, I mean heart! Thanks.
Something’s holding me back Barbara, I’m not sure I’m meant to have that 10 bucks. I do appreciate the hand holding though.
If only I was there to see you quiver in person Katie, I could wonder if it was fear or antici……………….pation.
September 30th, 2007 - 10:08 am
Enough allready, when do we get to see your name on top of that list?
September 30th, 2007 - 10:10 am
Dude, you’re tied for third and I can’t vote yet!
September 30th, 2007 - 6:59 pm
Watch out for those cowpies, buddy.
September 30th, 2007 - 7:39 pm
Apparently never Marloes but that’s alright, I’ll pretend that you loved me anyway!
I’ve slipped since you last checked Bluez. Will I ever recover?
I’m soaking in them right now Beckeye. Argh!
September 30th, 2007 - 11:13 pm
Dale, I crawled out of my sick bed and voted for you a-g-a-i-n.
I’m like the friend of all friends, the most giving person in the entire universe. Please nominate for me for the Mother Theresa Humanitarian award.
September 30th, 2007 - 11:29 pm
YAY you’re number 3!!
September 30th, 2007 - 11:56 pm
Zed, I owe you. Nothing! Okay, everything! Thanks!
Thanks for the cheering Bluez. I really appreciate it.
October 1st, 2007 - 12:05 am
Yay I was finally able to get another vote in today. Hope it still counts for September, as it’s only 10:00pm here. Go Dale!
October 1st, 2007 - 12:26 am
I voted just in time, I think!
For those of you who haven’t voted yet, Dales blog is the best thing that ever happened to humanity. The bitch Mother Theresa was a big phony.
I’ll be looking in the mail for my check this week, Dale.
October 1st, 2007 - 3:56 am
Wait, it says the top 10 get money every month! I’m #9!! What do I get? I’ll take 25 cents. I’ll even take a Schrute Buck.
October 1st, 2007 - 2:24 pm
Nicely played, Dale!
October 1st, 2007 - 5:38 pm
Zed, I appreciate all your sacrifices to this p-o-i-n-t. Consider yourself the new Mother Theresa except with nicer clothes and better skin, I think.
You were a cheerleader weren’t you Bluez? Luckily, this is a cheerocracy.
October 14th, 2007 - 2:43 am
Is it fair to say that we’ve all lost interest in this?
October 14th, 2007 - 8:19 am
The what now?
October 17th, 2007 - 10:58 pm
Oops, I guess so Beckeye although I’ve been sporadically voting for you!
Tanya, aren’t you putting out for votes?
October 19th, 2007 - 10:46 am
I thought someone should mention Ann Coulter again.
