<![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy" - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy" - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> This is the first time I've been at Gawker in like 4 months. Glad to see a lot of familiar faces. So everyone left except for Denton and lolcait? I feel like the character on the soap opera who is in a coma for a few months.

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> Richard: The sentiments that look biased are:
"Your party pick this week also went to that College Call Girl comment, so I'm gonna give an honorary mention to dear old Mathnet, who expounded in that What the Media Does and Doesn't Know post:
"I usually call Ashley for 911 clearance."
Then you chase that up with "Mathnet is such a teacher's pet."
Also, you are doing a fine job, but this looks slanted. Step outside and look in. CCG deserved to stand alone. Refer to Wookie, Sexbot and AndSheSaid for further insight. Also, it is NOT an attack on you, just an opinion. It's also ugly that both Elijah and ConBon were quietly executed. Public executions were fun for all, including the executed. It made us step up our game to get back in.
@Mathnet: Your comment was funny; I was looking at something else.

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: You're all good, dude. You clearly have a good perspective on this gig. Just keep the humor and thick skin. No way you can please them all. I was trying to come to your defense last night, but I was also becoming drunk.

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: Come to Aunt Pandora's for the weekend.As I've said to Sarah Heartburn, all you have to do is get to Penn Station and get on the train to Maryland. Get off anywhere in the state or even Union Station in DC and I will come pick you up. Here you can be annoyed by two large freindly dogs, see actual wildlife and trees that are not in Central Park, and watch whatever ball sports are on TV with my husband.

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: Don't take everything so seriously....not every criticism is meant as a slight to you. People, myself included, will make comments that are meant as general criticism, not character attacks, okay?
If I or anyone says "this used to be better" or "i'm not sure i like this" et al, that is not the same as "omg, Richard sux!"

IBentMyWookie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @hageesheart: that did sound really mean, though, I realize, re-reading it. I really am sorry. I'm kinda mad at the internet, and the world in general? Okay, over-share time: I was drinking (shitty) beer and looking at a slide-show of my "favorite" photos on flikr tonight and getting really depressing at how amazing they were.

That's what I was typing about when I typed the above-above. The pro-bono. The "worth" thing. This whole thread was incidental to my recent obsession with how amazing everybody is and how little attention most of us are ever going to get.

Okay. Sorry all! Way too much. For this. Place. And. Okay.

hageesheart

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: oh, no, totally not! sorry! I'm.. drunk, and angry, but not at all at you, or gawker, or anything here. I think I sympathize, even though my place in the world is very different. See, I'm doing this weird thing, now, with the election, and... never mind! point is, no, not mean. Sorry if it sounded. I'm trying to affect some kind of jaded-y gawker-y prose-style, like, half the time, when I comment here, and it's not really something I'm good at. Good luck! I couldn't do it. It looks hard.

hageesheart

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @hageesheart: See, the problem is, at this point, I don't know if that's mean or not.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: I bet. How does one manage emotions/worth when they're all texty and pro bono and crap? I would do it with drugs. If I had infinite money, and easy access to drugs. That's how I'd do it. Why? Because I'm a genius, that's why.

hageesheart

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: I may also be drunk. I may also be tired. It may also be four in the morning. This may also just be a blog.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @sexbot: @IBentMyWookie: I don't know what to tell you guys. I'm doing the best I can. This is fucking exhausting.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @IBentMyWookie: Ok then. But I do think you're overdue.

MisterHippity

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @fiveinchtaint: We got to show our parents.

raincoaster

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: no no no no no. That's not what I was angling for.

Conbon and Furious George, just to name two, were on fire this week. I think GSM was culled from the choices of several of the editors, whereas Commies are based on one blogger's particular humour taste.

Also, i might be drunk.

IBentMyWookie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @sexbot: I'm confused. Your initial statement was reductive, so to say that your follow-up argument is reductive is ... confusing.

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @fiveinchtaint: That's like asking the difference between the New and Old Testaments. I could just say there was a vengeful God and then there was a hip God, but that would be reductive. I mean, I'd get into it further, but it's Friday night and I have somewhere to be.

sexbot

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @sexbot: I know. It wasn't you I was glancing upward at.

MisterHippity

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @sexbot: I wasn't here for the Gold Star days. How was it better?

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: I'm not looking for recognition. I'm just looking to be entertained.

sexbot

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> Hey Richard, I think there's a certain someone [glances upward] who's never won a Commie and might be overdue for one ...

MisterHippity

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @sexbot: Gold Star Motel was better, yes.

IBentMyWookie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> I know this is probably just ASKING to be executed, but I feel like the Gold Star winners were more interesting before Lolcait started choosing them. No? Have I spoken the unspeakable?

sexbot

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> That ZoeTropez one really made me laugh and I believe I was Heath-sobbing at the time. Thanks, Zoe!

Lysergic Asset

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @CaptainFantastic: I made a really tasteless comment once, just to see if I would get executed. The following day, my user login didn't work, so I just assumed that I had been. Six weeks went by without me even checking this site. You can't even imagine how much more productive I was.

Lysergic Asset

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> My previous commenter suicide was a long drawn out affair during which I grew increasingly ornery and stroppy until I was basically begging them to take me out of my misery.

also congrats everyone -- I forgot about Zoetropez's comment -- lol -- and I heart you lolcait and I wish you'd give yourself a commie for your tinsley immitation yesterday.

SheWalkedWithAZombie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @theobviouschild: Now that was the real suicide of the week.

PandoraSpocks

PandoraSpocks

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @theobviouschild: (1) [gawker.com]
(2) You could do the same, I assume.

CaptainFantastic

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @AndSheSaid: and I love your avatar. There, we're friends now.

CaptainFantastic

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> Thanks, Richard, and good job everybody. I hope we got the page views up high enough that the Observer will do another trend piece. (If there's anyone still there who didn't used to work here, that is.)

TedSez

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @AndSheSaid: (1) Do you know why they executed Conbon?

(2) Do you know how can I commenter-execute myself?

Lysergic Asset

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: TheElatedScience?

PimpMyCouch

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @CaptainFantastic: I try to send an inappropriately large number of choices just to make LolCait's job that much harder.

Also -- CF is my favorite Elton John album and I can remember buying it (the LP) and listening to it over and over again. I'm old and senile however.

SheWalkedWithAZombie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @Sigerson: They executed Conbon. And this IS the new and improved Gold Star.

Here are the improvements: LOLcait 1. actually reads the comments and 2. actually thinks they are funny rather than just telling us we are funny but all the while thinking we are lame.

The downside is that MathNet has to win every week.

SheWalkedWithAZombie

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: Well, we all know that when it comes to suffering you're right up there with Elizabeth Taylor.

Lysergic Asset

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @CaptainFantastic: Yes indeed.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: Oooh, I skipped that post. Perfect, NicFit!

Richard, can we vote for more than one throughout the week?

CaptainFantastic

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @PimpMyCouch: @lolcait: @MisterHippity: Thanks! This new method of interaction is exciting. Although the thought of picking one comment over a week is a little overwhelming. I guess Richard's job of tabulating must be even worse. Do you use a computer spreadsheet software program? I hear VisiCalc is a good one.

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: Or mathnett

mathnet

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @TheDismalScience: Maybe its your username. It might help to to with something lighter, like ... "TheRisibleScience" perhaps?

MisterHippity

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: Oh. Never mind.

MisterHippity

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @fiveinchtaint: YES, you vote! Richard used to say to e-mail him at lolcait@yahoo.com, but I'd guess the appropriate address these days is his new Gawker one: richardl@gawker.com. I sent my pick to both addresses, just to be on the safe side.

RICHARD, sounds like it's time for a PSA about voting for party picks!

MisterHippity

@fiveinchtaint: I email Richard with my picks. But he never emails back. Or sends flowers. Or remembers my birthday.

@TheDismalScience: Dude your song was brilliant.

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: I voted for that one too!

Colonel Mustard

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @mathnet:

It's been a bad month for the market, and this was an especially bad week. I was sort of, *sniff*, I was just sort of hoping you guys had noticed, is all. I WAS JUST HOPING FOR A LITTLE RECOGNITION, A LITTLE RESPECT, A LITTLE "HEY DIS, YOU'RE LOVED, YOU'RE WORTHY OF BEING LOVED. But, yeah, you know, I guess a quick "Ha" will do. Very satisfying. I'm fulfilled now. Absolutely no emptiness here, because of your "ha." You've been great.

ADismalScience

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> You all deserve a Scotch. Hop or butter?

In Other News...

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: I agree! And @TheDismalScience: Aren't my typed giggles enough for you?

mathnet

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @MisterHippity: Yeah, Nic Fit was awesome when he plagiarized CollegeCallGirl, too.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @kthnxbai: Yeah. I'm not proud of it. But we did that play in college and it's always stuck with me.

LolCait

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @CodePink: Score! Finally this razor-sharp wit is getting me somewhere.

collegecallgirl

Whoops on me I guess I just declared my gaydom (or yours) recognizing that.

kthnxbai

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> @lolcait: @mathnet: I'm just gonna pick my wedgie and keep almost tripping over my shoelaces whilst smelling like bologna while I follow you guys home after school, okay?
@collegecallgirl: I'm buying you a drink tonight, girlfriend.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> Oh, those are all great.

But I thought this comment by newbie "Nic Fit" was the best I saw this week. It was my Party Pick vote:

[gawker.com]

]]> <![CDATA["An Overdose of Dreamy"]]> Wow, big week for CCG! Another comment of hers provided the most fun for me this week. Besides Conbon's seppuku, good times.

@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Alright Gandhi, I think you're safe. Let's not get too soft.

fiveinchtaint
