Often times people will talk about some junk and it just goes in one of my ears and straight out the other. Honestly.
And, listen, I'll just go ahead and admit it -- this pretty much describes everything you people say. I mean, sure, I read your words (or pretend to at least), but seriously, I can barely recall what I had for lunch today let alone the endless daily riff-raff you people type with those fingers of yours (or, for the paraplegic among us, those toes) (or, for the quadraplegic, that mouth holding the pencil with which you peck at those keys) (also, I am truly sorry for the loss of your limbs) (seriously, that totally fucking sucks).
Okay okay, that was all just to say this -- please don't hurt me when I tell you that I have just now discovered a certain precious natural resource of this magnificent planet. A certain natural resource which long ago was unmined by peoples much braver and worlds wiser than I. A resource so tremend... oh fuck this, christ almighty. I finally caught on to this Google Reader shit, okay?
And it has interrupted, for the better, the very fabric of space and time my fucking life has been built upon.
I don't know what that there meant, but I just mean it has saved me, just today, roughly eight and three quarter hours. Okay, okay, I may be exaggerating, but seriously, check it out - here was me before Google Reader:
*Click link* No new posts. FUCK. *Click Back*
*Click link* No new posts. SONOFABITCH. *Click Back*
*Click link* No new posts. GOTOHELL. *Click Back*
*Click link* No new posts. IFUCKINGHATEYOUSERIOUSLY. *Click Back*
*Click link* No new posts. DIEINAFIRE. *Click Back*
*Click link* No new posts. DIEINAMUCHBIGGERFIRETHANTHATLASTGUY. *Click Back*
This was my day. Every. Single. Godforsaken. Day. Several. Times. A. Day.
See?! Do you see now why I hated you ugly monkeys with such a fiery passion?!
I could be on top of the world as I jumped out of bed in the morning, bright smiley sunshiney face ready to take on the glorious day ahead! And then, inevitably, somewhere around half past 9 at work, after about eight or nine minutes of that nonstop clicking back and forth bullshit I wanted to cut you all out of my life for good, delete my goddamn blog altogether from the internets and go cry in the handicapped bathroom stall until lunch.
Now, you may ask me, But Falwless, how does that differ from any other day at work for you? And I would answer, touché, asshole, touché, shut the hell up. But, seriously, I'm almost certain The Google Reader has already made me a better person, physically, mentally and spiritually. Sure it's only been a day, but I can already feel things changing inside of me (though, in the interest of full disclosure, it's also that time of month, so, uh, I can't be really sure what's going on in there, iffinyaknowwhatImean).
Anyway, if you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend signing up for The Google Reader. All you have to do is add each subscription (blog) one at a time, and once that's done you just leisurely check it from time to time and it will show you who has a new post up!
IT'S TRULY, TRULY A BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL THING, DEAR FELLOW HUMANS. TRULY. Truly and deeply. Had the Magi some Google Reader back in the dizzay, they totally woulda thrown some Congratulations! New Baby! wrapping paper on that shit and given it to Jesus instead of that ridiculous myrrh nonsense. Seriously, what the fuck is myrrh and what the hell was a damn baby supposed to do with it? Wise men my ass!
And one last thing. Before you dare leave a sarcastic comment a) making fun of me for just now signing up for this crap b) telling me that, HELLO!, this new bloglist thing can tell you when someone has posted something new or c) saying "HEY RETARD, I TOLD YOU THIS MONTHS AGO" I would like to ask you to, very kindly, shut your face. Or your hands. Or your toes. Or that pencil in your mouth (seriously, I'm so so sorry about those limbs, god bless you, you limbless mutant child).

Hey retard, I told you about this a month ago!
No really! Well with Firefox/Sage. Same thing, it's called RSS feeds. I don't even have to check Google, it's just part o' my browser!
Which is why I'm the first to post here!
SHUT YOUR FACE.
OR YOUR PENCIL.
I think I've laughed out loud more at this post than anything else today, and you're only telling us about Google Reader. Christ, this shit is good.
I was poised over the keyboard with my pithy, rapier like remark all planned in my head until I saw that you asked not to be mocked. So I will keep my mouth shut, but only if I see a sweet fucking newly enhanced blog list over -----------------> there real fucking quick lady...
Seriously, why are you still reading?
make with the tappity tap click click...
You can also us the new blogger blogroll widget that lists your peeps' posts in chronological order, latest on top. I like it better than my RSS feed because it's unreliable. Blogger has yet to let me down. Well, except for that one time it said my writing was spam.
Speaking of quads, today I saw a personal injury claim filed by a 'plegic who pried open an elevator door but thinks it's the business' fault she fell four feet onto her face after she rolled in and the elevator car wasn't there. I don't feel bad about her lost limbs.
You're joking.
You of the hoverswitch technocode?
I'm a Luddite and even I knew about this!
(ribbing over.)
I will tell you that I just "Discovered" you through my Oh So Lovely Google Reader! Those whacked out geniuses in Googland thought I'd like you, and hot damn! They were right!
Here's why I'm the King:
1) I told Falwless about GR (that's what we call it)
2) I gave her until Wednesday to post something new.
3) I invented fire.
And one more thing dummy. On your request I got rid of the word verification thing for you. That is my gift.To.You.
(no returns)
ZIBBS FOR PRESIDENT!
1. The handicapped bathroom stall is the best thing ever.
2. It's MYRRH, you no spellin' ESL student! And it's used for embalming and in incense. Frankincense, of course, is the dehydrated sweat of Franken Berry.
3. Gwen, you made me spit coughing with your story and your excellent contraction, 'plegics.
I never misspell and surely have no idea what you are even talking about.
bethh--Google is full of GENIUSES! Welcome to my shithole of a weblog. Make yourself comfy! :)
K I'm obviously WAY less all about this "interweb" shit. I have no google-reader but my blog tells me when someone has updated. It's still slightly annoying. I may have to check this shit out.
PS - I'm fairly sure the creator of Google is human - you could have sex with him maybe instead?
I should be asleep but my wife just woke me because she read your comment on my blog, then read your blog for the first time (specfically this post) and she wanted to know who "this guy" was. Well at least you score points for being hilarious, even if she assumed you have a penis.
Well I'll be damned - you were back sooner than I expected. I don't even want to KNOW about Google Reader. Just having my blog is taking way too much time as it is - don't introduce me to another version of my own personal crack.
Guess I'm a retard too cos I was doing the same thing you were - so thanks!
I think I'm in love with you. Thanks for taking pity on my lack of limbs. (Ok, I have all my limbs, I just prefer writing with my mouth. Sue me!)
Yeahh, I feel good somehow, I dunno why. Maybe because the last comment I left on your blogroll post was my life is easier with google reader. I am happy if me mentioning it in my comment had 0.001 % in you decision to finally take the leap. ITS GENIUS!! Just wait until you divide your folders and have catergories for different blogs to dif folders...oh life is sweeet.
I knew I should have said "I give you until Wednesday" rather than "I give you until Thursday". But when you're typing with just a pencil in your mouth, every letter counts. "Wednesday" is nine effing letters long. Seriously, that takes FOREVER to tap out with a pencil.
Adding each blog, one at a time, seems like a lot of damn work, and as I am quasi-unemployed at the moment, I need all my free time to sit on my ass and watch the TV.
Alright, I just set it up. This better work or I'll... I'll...
I guess I'm not going to do anything.
I'm not gonna make fun- just agree wholeheartedly. It's the best blog tool/accessory ever!!
xo
I totally agree! Except that now I spend hours trying to get the number of unread new posts down to 0. Before when I was one of the unwashed clueless masses of bloggers following the click-cuss-back way to enlightenment trying to follow 10 blogs was enough to give me a nervous breakdown. Now I've got 120 or so in my reader. It's hard to decide whether to love or hate GR. I think I might have accidentally sold it my soul...
PS: I totally love the name of your blog! Not sure I agree yet, but judging by the one post I've read so far you might have a point... :-)
You're in my GR now of course :-)
I just go to jon's blog and check his roll. I thought that's what you were over there all the time for too.
No?
I believe David Duchovny actually did have sex with Google.
Hey guess what? I added Google Reader now too...what's next??
Twitter? Bath-time Update Tool? A Fun Tool That Tells People When You've Entered REM State? Maybe a To-The-Minute Bathroom Log? Oh I've got it let's all add the What Am I Staring At Now Application? Huh? Shall we?
Google reader. Hahaha...you joker. What next...bottled water?
Hey I want to try that too! Does it sound like a robot?
You should marry Google Reader. Now.
I was slow on the take with the Google Reader myself - and check it whiner - I was unemployed. That's right. I had nothing else to do to occupy my time than volley back and forth between clicking on my favorite blogs and then cursing the very souls of the people I love who write them.
Anyhoo... if it makes you feel any better and more likely to forgive me for calling you a whiner - I added you to my Google Reader after the first post I read. I go out of alphabetical order so I can read your blog sooner.
So there.
For sharing this I want to sleep with you.
I still remember the day I discovered Google Reader. It was like Christmas in July. All my favorite blogs?! In one place?! With up to date posts?! This is too much.
Now, I'm not sure if it was a smart move on my part because I still have almos 200 unread posts. I think I went a bit subscribing crazy.
Tried you rlink and it froze my computer. I will try again at home as my work computer often freezes as the server tries to figure out if I am allowed to see what I clicked on.
Just think of all the hungry Nigerians you can share your nugget with!
Hang on... back in a second...
There. Now you have 40 MF-ing comments on this post! How the hell DO you do it, Fawl?
I use Bloglines -- similar to Google Reader. It's great until you're away for like a week & see that everyone has like 578 new posts.
I still can't figger it out. I tried once or twice to get RSS Feeds or that Google thing to work, but it made my brain twitch and I gave up.
I'm too f-ing stupid to figure that shit out. I have to say I am old school and click on my Bookmarked list of Blogs daily to see if someone has something new. Yep, I'm a dipshit
Ok, so I added your fancy-pants google reader. And you know what?!?! Sometimes it won't show me all your stuff.
And by stuff, I mean your whole post including pics, you sicko!
& you can't use it to comment, just read!.... oh, wait....
