The Ominous Comma is not so ominous once you get to know it, in fact it is pretty non-ominous deep down! :)

I think Brent could pass this off as an apostrophe rather than a comma, but it's great nonetheless.

5 stars Arcticulates

Outrageously funny blog! I love it!

I especially liked the Buck stops at last! Too funny!

excerpt: "I am not impressed with the flippant and frankly irresponsible tone you have taken in your self-proclaimed Economic Recovery series"

In my opinion I think your economic Recovery series is fantastic, doesn't do a thing for the economy, but who cares, laughter is so loud who can concentrate on such silly things as a Economy Crisis!

Wonderfully funny blog! Made my day start with laughter!

5 stars Robin Easton

This is funny site and yet it also delivers some helpful advice (believe it or not). LOL :) I like the dry calmly contained wit; it cracks me up because Brent writes almost as if he were completely "above" such nonsense as humor, which makes the writing all the more hysterical. Excellent Job!! Very sophisticated humor.

Because Brent is an evil genius, I gave OC and DC the absolutely worst rank possible: 10.

Unfortunately it turns out that 10 is GOOD.

Wow!I'll have to give you a 10 just for your muscular photo; I had to change my knickers even before I got the plastic sheet out. The gags aren't bad either. Hard to believe you were in the armed forces, (although yes I admit there is a lot of comedy in American military tactics.)Did you blast the enemy with your wit or did you just have a tank with extra long makeshift gun like Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes? Hmm.. I can see it now Brent Diggs astride his gun.... by the way what was it you were clasping out of sight in your delightful muscleman shot.....

What can I say, Brent. Simply outstanding! Not only are you an excellent writer, you've managed to toss in the right doses of sarcasm in all the right places! Someday, when I get going on that elusive blogroll I've been procrasting about...I'd like to add "The Ominous Comma".
You wouldn't mind, would ya?

Btw, You have my permission to cast my vote for Huey-we can't have him fading into outer space now, can we???? And do remind him that many of us are still waiting for our new drug-:) Gotta go play chef now. Have a fantabulous Christmas!
