Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

Henry you still around?
904. greenthumb said:
what is it about this site that sucks us in??? is it the hottie that authors our daily chuckles? hmmm, could be, but perhaps it's the chat line. Good on you Jo for at least trying to be strong. I promise not to spank you too hard tomorrow.

You get a MEDAL for repenting of yur first kiss? Damn - I gotta join this faith. What do I get for repenting of my first smack-fueled basement orgy?
906. Jo said:
Ok well my boyfriend has indeed managed to set up Dooce Forum, so if any of you are interested in chatting in a different environment (tho still in honour of Dooce!) go here:

today will be a 1000 day partly because the brits had a love in with eachother this morning. we canadians had one a bit later. rather nice to congregate once in a while isn't it? :)
908. Jo said:
Dang Cold, yea, it was definately thanks to us Brits and you Canadians that today is the longest comments page ever. Go us!

Aside to Heather/Dooce: Now if you could just recite the Young Women's theme....

910. wendee said:
HOLY SHIT over 900 comments. WOW
911. Jo said:
aagh! Stargazer! Welcome to Dooce Forum! :)
912. Roo said:
This is an INSANE thread! Its _HUGE_!
I have my girlfreind, Jo to thank for some of it. I'm so proud(!)
Aside: Want to chat and amuse other Doocelings? See

Thanks!
One A1 special, coming up!!

What the hell time IS it? Have I fallen into some strange Dooce time warp?
My last comment was at 2 something PM? Now it's 6:15... no, that's not right... that can't be right! WTF is going ON?

918. RazDreams said:
Jo and Roo (#864, #906, #912): I already created a dooce newsgroup on Sunday, and dooce knows about it. I was waiting for her to handle it (or not handle it, as the case seems). She, perhaps, *wants* us to stay here.
919. Mrs.Strizzay said:
lmao..different time zones...it is actually 6:30 here.
920. warcrygirl said:
Holy Crap you guys can post a comment or two. I'm never going to be able to keep up.
SPOILER ALERT!
I can belch really, really loudly. And yes, I am a day late and a dollar short...
921. Mrs.Strizzay said:
I don't wanna go t a chat room.
*pouts*
922. ashik said:
I have nothing to say, but just checked in and as it's over 900 comments, there is NO WAY I will catch up and therefore will simply do my part to help reach 1000. Thus:
923. Girl From Ipanema said:
Hey guys...i'm just here to contribute to the hopefully 1K+ posts :)
924. ashik said:
Hi
925. ashik said:
Hello! OMG could I be number 924?
926. Jo said:
Mrs Strizzay, no ones forceing you to go to a chat room! Its just an option thats there if you want it. or not!
927. part-timer said:
We have already had this discussion - many times... dooce likes the comments!! Altho that was when it was 200 comments. She'll let us know.
928. ashik said:
This is too cool!!
929. ashik said:
Are we there yet?
930. part-timer said:
And, some of us who have become friends (here) have started emailing and IMing. For the personal conversations. But we still check in with each other here, too. FYI
931. Roo said:
RazDreams (#918),
A newsgroup? Do you really mean a newsgroup? like alt.blogs.dooce or something?
Also, i've emailed Heather. I'm not concerned about my ethics or motives, and as soon as Heather reads her email, neither will she :)
932. StarGazer said:
I like the comments too. It gets to be crazy on days like today! Which is where having thread topics can help. It doesn't have to be one or the other, does it? ;)
933. Mrs.Strizzay said:
I know Jo, its all good.
Dooce is probably sitting on the pot right now laughing her arse off.
934. Southern Fried Girl said:
We are well on our way to 1000.
On a whole other topic, is there a show funnier than Will and Grace??? I want to be Karen.
935. Roo said:
part-timer (#927),
I really hope she does let me know, i'll follow her lead. As I said in the email to her, this is her blog, her readers and its a credit to her fantastic writing that we're even here. The forum is in honour of that, to offer Dooce readers something else, if Heather sees it fit.
It took 10mins to put the forum up. It'll take 10 seconds to take it down if Heather says so.
Please dudes, no mini-hysteria!
936. U.B. said:
Hmmm, let's not spam for 1000. Just talking is dandy.
Strizz -- I'm with you. Even tho' I work in hi-tech, this comment board is puh-lenty for me.
937. greenthumb said:
can I be your Jack, Southern Fried Girl?
938. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Who got hyseterical? I said something and pouted because it would be funny. HarHar
939. part-timer said:
Roo - she'll let us know. We've already gone through this. But, as I said, that was awhile ago.
940. Southern Fried Girl said:
greenthumb,
ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY.
My favorite line about Karen - "Can you picture Karen as a little girl? Little purse, little pumps, little pills..."
Who would NOT want to be that???
941. Mrs.Strizzay said:
This whole thing just turned to shit.
Shit. I said shit. Ahem
942. burdanilex said:
I'm just guessing but I'd think if she wanted something like that then she'd set it up herself.
943. Roo said:
@Mrs.Strizzay,
Whatsa matter Miss??
944. southern fried girl said:
mrs. strizz:
what is shit, if i may ask?
945. greenthumb said:
SFG: ONE of (and that's because there are many) my favorite episodes is when Jack and Karen do the HR Video on Sexual Harassment.
I was in tears!
946. that-andrea said:
It's all good Strizz.
947. mrs.wondering said:
pete, i thought you would appreciate me looking out for your sake.
948. Michelle Brady said:
My eyes are crossing... I'm going to go take a nap. It's 6:54 here and yes, I am going to take a nap. I'm sleeeeepy. When I get back, I'm sure we'll be up over 1000.
949. Susie said:
Do you need another monkey pic? Got more shoes . . .
950. RazDreams said:
my favorite line from Karen, as she knocked on Will's door and let herself into his apartment: "Helllloooo? Anybody homo?" (anybody home-o?)
*hahahahahaha*
951. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Shit is that stuff that comes out of your bum SFG. It is to be wiped away and flushed post haste.
952. southern fried girl said:
OK, Strizz that was funny - especially the fact that you managed to work the phrase "post haste" into a sentence. Gotta love that.
953. Mrs.Strizzay said:
smack my bitch up
954. Beth said:
Dude, this is nuts. Side note, and on topic, cool picture and I am so jealous, I want to snowboard!!
955. RazDreams said:
how come 85% of the comments aren't about the daily photo anymore? sux.
956. Mrs.Strizzay said:
I like to say post haste when I answer the phone at work..."So and so will be with you poste haste". Heh
957. that-andrea said:
Michelle, we'll probably be over 1000 before you fall asleep!
958. Henryk_ said:
Raz, in case you havn't worked it out yet, this has become a defacto chat room!
959. U.B. said:
WTF? You want 1000 comments about one photo??
I have found the conversation today to be highly amusing in content and scope.
It *is* a nice pic of Heather looking cold and not-yet-sold on snowboarding. But, I wouldn't go hating on the comments for not focusing on it.
960. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Raz if there were 850 comments by about the photo 400 would be the same. What fun is that?
961. RazDreams said:
hmmm, thanks, henryk_, for the clarification. amazing how i seemed to have missed that. you know, given how dooce herself never actually renamed it to "The Offical Defacto Chat Room," i'm just a'kickin' myself for not having worked that all out in my little head yet. silly me, thinkin' she put that picture up here for us to actually *talk* about! amazing.
962. Dang Cold.. said:
chat room? nonesense!! I am comment 962
963. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Raz...are you cranky today? Normally your all into the chat.
*hugs raz*
964. that-andrea said:
*gasp* do I smell snark?
965. Dang Cold.. said:
you gotta point their strizzypoo. see comments that have funny nick names like strizzypoo are amusing also. just like comments about that pic
966. cathi said:
once again i have been sucked into the vortex of the potd comments... my head is spinning with monkeys, vaginas, fanny packs, poo, and religion. good times
967. RazDreams said:
perhaps if there wasn't all-day F5'ing, then there wouldn't be 850+ comments. but that's besides the point...the daily photo page isn't about the daily photo anymore. that's my point. it's about chatting with each other. kinda like what "chatrooms" and "newsgroups" are for. i'm just sayin'. there's a difference, so why not take it elsewhere? 'cuz you don't want to...that's far. just my not-so-humble-opinion. peace.
968. Henryk_ said:
UB.....1k of commentary, but most nothung to do with the pic! A animals" ( meant in the nicest way)gathering of 'social
969. Henryk_ said:
UB…..1k of commentary, but most nothing to do with the pic! A gathering of ‘social animals†( meant in the nicest way) I need spell check!!
970. Ria said:
Raz I concur
971. RazDreams said:
not cranky. just askin' why not take the chatting to a chatroom. carry on. :o) and i'm *far* from a snark...
972. Henryk_ said:
Yea to Raz!
973. cmj said:
Raz, see post 906.
:)
974. U.B. said:
Are the POTD rules under the FAQ? I haven't seen them...
Also, reading the comments -- any number of them -- isn't exactly mandatory. Enjoy the pic and comment on it, if you wish.
I would guess that if Heather has a problem with her comment section, she'll address it, fix it or shut it down.
975. Jo said:
raz thats why i thought a dooce forum would be fun- we can all chat about anything, and this page can continue as it is, or become a place where people actually talk about the photo. Options, people, options!
976. Amanda B. said:
Hi Dooce. I'm new to your site, but I think you are an amazing writer. Seriously. I also think you are super hot and I'm torn between childish jealousy and wanting to hump your leg. No? Mmmkay.
Not all of us were pissed about the spoiler- why you gots to go all Mormon on a cracka?
That is all.

Hey, why hasn't any one told me about the F5 function. Saves a lot of time!
980. Jo said:
I seriously dont have the time to read all the comments on here every day, theres just too many! In a forum you can be selective, and not lose the strand. lol.
981. Katie-be-happy-at-home said:
Jo, sorry I missed your comment before about my hatred of Marmite. I even made a post on my blog about it.
I tried out your Dooce chat forum. It is nice, but I have to say - nothing beats the real thing!
982. Henryk_ said:
Jo.....There is truth in what you say!
983. Colleen from NJ said:
razarama. makin copies.
984. Katie-be-happy-at-home said:
OMG, I never knew about F5 either! Why the hell didn't anyone tell me about this sooner!?!
985. RazDreams said:
that's a neato coat you got goin' on there, heather, with the long neck thing to keep your neck all toasty. megot's to get one (but not for hurling myself down a hill).
986. Annejelynn said:
F5! F5! F5!
987. Jo said:
Henry, u know what im talking about dont you? You come on here and theres 400+ comments, and you'd like to join the conversation but you just dont know where to start and dont have time to follow it all the way through. A forum solves that problem, especially on days like today when we're bumping 1000! lol
Katie I saw your post! Tried to comment but you have to sign up or something? :s
988. Colleen from NJ said:
mmmm Marmite, on toast. i like that. is that gross? i always loved that weird flavor.
and i like dooce's coat, too. mmmmm.
989. Henryk_ said:
Kate-be-happy etc etc......another one discovers an old preciously guarded secret...the F5 function...bbwaaahahahahahaha
990. Henryk_ said:
Yes Jo.....you wont find me disagreeing with you at all!
991. Susie said:
Colleen, love the "makin' copies." Katie, cute how you changed your name! I never noticed that before.
That is all.
992. Katie-be-happy-at-home said:
I can't really say that I hate Marmite - just the sound of it is awful. I haven't tried it yet - I need to find somewhere I can buy it in Texas. Or order it online.
I think you have to be a member to comment, but I think there is a way to change that. Sorry 'bout that!
993. Annejelynn said:
POTD Comments - an animal in itself
994. Leah said:
Heather, I have one for you from the mists of my own past:
I come to you with only Karate, my empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor, be it a matter of life or death, right or wrong, here are my weapons: Karate, my empty hands.
995. Annejelynn said:
I wonder what the mother of dooce, that would be Heather B. Armstrong, thinks of all this?
996. Henryk_ said:
Were happy little Vegemites
As happy as can be
Were happy little Vegemites
We have it for breakfast, lunch and tea......( an old Vegemite advert.)
997. Jo said:
oh well Katie, i will stick with being honoured at being aknowledged on your blog! :)
998. Colleen from NJ said:
Katie, just went to your site and followed the link. marmite on nipples? ew. nice site, by the way!!
999. Annejelynn said:
so close to 1000!~
1000. Jo said:
i want to be 1000!
1001. Dang Cold.. said:
champagne anyone?
1002. Katie-be-happy-at-home said:
Do any blogger.com Doocelings know anything about leaving comments? It appears that only members of blogger.com can leave a comment - is there a way to change this? Or is this a way to suck in more bloggers?
1003. Annejelynn said:
oh man! I missed it!!!!
1004. beckythefirst said:
holy shit, 1000 comments?
1005. Leah said:
P.S. Pronounced "ka RAH tay"

Thanks, Colleen! I appreciate the feedback. I just started my blog a couple days ago so I like to hear what my cyber buddies think about it.
1013. beckythefirst said:
katie-be-happy, you should be able to leave anonymous comments or non-logged in ones.
1014. Colleen from NJ said:
i think you can choose to comment as anonymous so that you don't need to open an account.
1015. mrs.wondering said:
huh?
1016. Honey Bunny said:
ok, i don't know why that didn't go through.
guess what, heather?
*i'm gettin' married!*
woo-hoo!!
hope this makes it to #1010!

1025. U.B. said:
Man, all you folks with your own blogs impress me. I sometimes think of starting one only to realize I have nothing of interest to say. It would be depressing to see a counter roll slowly over only when I came back to update.
Of the blogs I've seen from the commenters, I have to say that Girl A's was the most disturbingly attractive. ;)

Leah - Your karate thing sounds along the same line as the Marine Corps gun thing. (This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. etc. etc.)
