During the royals game. . .
Katie, we should blog.
amanda, no one has read our last blog.
Yes, they have.
i don't feel like blogging unless people comment.
They do not trust us with their hearts because we have failed them. The more we blog, the more they will comment.
false.
No, you will see. It will be true. If not, then we will strike out the best way we know how--though, I don't know what that is.
swinging.
What?
you said how will we strike out. I answered swinging. How can you not understand that?
Not strike out as in baseball, though I can see how you would be confused by that, but as in forcing those who read our blog to comment by threatening dangerous repercussions if they don't.
yeah but where do you think the term strike out comes from? It still pertains.
I don't see how. . . all right, I'll accept it for the sake of preventing a fight since we have so little time left together. Readers, if you do not comment, we shall strike out at you swinging. And we mean that.
oh ok now i see what you mean by strike out. you mean a violent physical attack. ok, yeah. i know how you are. don't worry readers. I will not strike out at you
But you are the one who wanted them to comment. You didn't want to blog if they aren't going to leave feedback. How in the freaking world are we supposed to get them to comment if we don't threaten their very lives?
I think I am spotting a theme/problem here. We need more focus on the positive side of things. It would make us feel great if people read and enjoyed our blog, but i refuse to have negative consequences if that doesn't happen.
I know how to solve this, we shall ask our second guest blogger to decide whether we should threaten our readers or not.
Hello readers of the compounded.
You are useless. You typed one sentence in five minutes. We denounce you has a guest blogger.
true. you pale in comparison to our mystery guest blogger of our trip to Minnesota.
I will not stand for this negativity. If positive roommate blogging entertainment cannot take on this blog then I shall have to start my own roommate blog. I denounce the compounded!
*Gasp*
Wow someone is a little extra sensitive. I was just trying to stick up for my roommate, but I guess I should know better.
This has gone too far.
I don't have time for this. I'm going to help my roommate win the woman of his dreams. You'll be able to read about their soon to be developing relationship on our superior roommate blog (www.beergarden.blogspot.com if it hasn't been taken yet).
Don't try to steal our readers!
Oh, fine, you can have them, well, have them part of the time. But be warned, they might not comment, and you will feel sad and lonely. Be careful in the world of blogging, you may find yourself swinging threats at your readers and insulting guest bloggers and not know how you have come to travel such a dark and desperate path.

1. I commented on your last blog. So did other people. Just becuase you don't get 86 comments does not mean you're alone. I am officially offended.
2. I can tell the guest blogger is brett because of how mean you were to him. I am not offended by this.
3. Next time you want more people to comment, don't pretend like the people who actually comment aren't commenting.
4. Thanks for letting me use your treadmill.
5. Don't worry, I won't read brett and brad's blog because it's about kherington and she's a jerk. Yes brett, it's because she's super pretty and i'm jealous.
6. have a lovely evening.
Since it has already been established that there will be more blogs if one of the bloggers dies, could we extrapolate that there will be more comments if one of the commenters dies? Maybe we could fake the death of a commenter to get the same result. But just in case things get 'extreme' I shall protect my identity.
Happy blogmenting!

Hi Brett!
I find it very funny that 3 of us have commented on this blog in less than 15 minutes of each other.

hehe, i like punkinseed's comments.
and i told katie, there were people who had read it, but she's eager for more!
and i don't think a commenter should die, though, yes, i feel it might have the same affect as if a blogger were to die.
and adam, your identity is not so hidden.
and thanks for the comments. :)
As an avid reader of The Compounded I cheer you on as you've brought drama, conflict and even Brett to you Blog. Drama and Conflict I've come to expect and can barely wait until each new Blog entry is entered.
However, to bring Brett to you Blog took special cunning and repartee, and so I salute you. Well done.
And may the blogs continue with or without bodily harm to your constituents. We're a tough crew, or we wouldn't be still here.
Orange? That's kind of a lame color. Poor choice, g.b.
Also, I also think it's rather annoying that you ignored the comments of the people you've actually told about your blog, perhaps expecting others who've never heard of it to comment instead. Such offense, in many cases, is almost worthy of violence.
Speaking of, it seems there is a choice before you. That of whether you will continue to threaten readers with violence. If you remove that hazard, I do believe I will no longer feel any compulsion whatsoever to comment on your blog, although I will probably still read it on occasion.
I mean, really, if there are no repercussions for not commenting, where's the motivation?
And finally, as someone already mentioned: Adam, your identity is not hidden if you are signed into your Google/iGoogle/Gmail account at the time.
Jeremy, what if I were being framed?

there's a good possibility anonymous might be being framed. i shall warn adam in case he is being hacked.
