I appreciate all these people. And I appreciate you Collective people for appreciating them. I'm a little afraid, in fact, that so much appreciation in one place will depreciate the value of appreciation. My wife is an accountant, you see, so I've learned to think about these things in this way.

Hello, Collective.

I was just putting the finishing touches on the noose I'd been tying for the last couple hours when I decided to take a break to read this.

Very timely. You're life savers.

sir, was the noose also around your wrists and genitals? Because if so, that's an entirely different problem all together.

I appreciate Tam for that comment.

Tam, while both my wrists and genitals have been untethered for, gosh, a really long time now, I just spent 5 minutes staring off into space trying to figure out whether or not I could actually pull that off. I think the answer might be, 'no', but I'm still unconvinced. I may now have to change my plans for the upcoming holiday weekend.

I just have to say that stuff like this is why you guys are my favorite.

I appreciate the fact that I am appreciated. And I also appreciate you, Heather! Anne!, for your appreciation of fine graphic literature.

Well I appreciate all those excellent people appreciated by y'all too.

But what about your readers/lurkers who really are worthless [cough]'mouse[/cough] who rarely make intelligent or funny comments and who have essentially abandonded their blogs?

It's so bad I only have safety razors in the cupboard and I can't even find a rope and last time I tried using phone cord it kinked and didn't do the job.

Scott's comment scares me, because I've always believed that appreciation and praise are things you can give without restraint, and now I'm forced to wonder if I've saturated the market.

Still, I think Sir should definitely step away from all nooses.

I appreciate that your comments can always be counted on to be entertaining, thus making the posts DOUBLY entertaining. I'm a little worried now, about what that might mean as far as depreciation goes, but I'm willing to risk it.

It's easily done with a double Gupta-McAllister knot with an inverted twist before the final cinch. I still don't recommend it however.

Hi everybody!

(I like it here.)
