    Posted on Saturday November 14th, 2009 at 09:36

    Hmm.... I'm a little confused by this solicitation spam I received in the mail yesterday. First of all, why did they circle the $100 box? I understand how subliminal suggestions are supposed to work, but did they really think this was going to swa...

    Could it be? Is it possible that Mr. Know-It-All has actually answered all of your questions? Well, I seriously doubt that, but the last time he wrote a column he only received two new ones. So I guess it's up to you now. Either leave more questions...

Hi,
I'm Sam Barry. I am emailing you because we share some interests. I am a musician (harmonica, singer, and piano, with the harmonica being my primary instrument) and I wanted to introduce myself, a new book I've written, and some funny videos I've done. Please check them out, and if you like, spread the word!
Thanks,
Sam

Just found Blog Catalog and have no idea what I am doing. So I thought I would leave a lame comment for Jeff! His blog is cool and he is from Minnesota so he has to be cool! ;-)

The blog may be called View from the Cloud, but Jeff is very down-to-earth with his humor and his posts enjoyable every time.

If I had to stop reading this blog, it means someone poked my eyes out with a sharpie. Obviously that didn't happen, so I keep reading.

5 stars Dorky Dad

What can I say about Jeff? He's from St. Cloud. He is a musician. He kept a diary growing up. He is an overall good guy. And he is extremely funny. His blog is an absolute must-read! (So why aren't you reading it yet?)

Jeff makes writing funny look easy. As my readers recognize all to often, it isn't.

I highly recommend "View from the Cloud" Especially if you are a humor writer. I want all of you to feel inferior too.

Come enjoy the view. Unless you're into dead puppies. Then you won't get it (and don't deserve to).

While I’m beginning to doubt Jeff’s harmonica can actually summon Cthulhu Mythos, I enjoy reading this blog in quiet and patient anticipation.

ok, I'm stumped on most of the songs; I remember them, but sadly, not the names of the shows. I'll try it on the family.
