The "No Post" Post

I am an idiot.

Here I am, middle of the day, and I thought I posted today. Guess what? I didn't. Blogger did not eat my post (big surprise); I simply did not post today. Not at all, and I thought I posted. I come back to read my comments, and, well, no new post. Crap.

And I have nothing to talk about.

Yesterday, I was reading ~Deb's blog, and I made the following comment:

Mike: Damn....you sure attract the wack jobs with their little hidden agendas. The Bible was written by men, not God. Although they may have been inspired by God I wish he/she had written it them self.

Leesa: You stated that "The Bible was written by men, not God." Actually, I think the Bible may have been written by highly intelligent ferrets.

I had to include Mike's comment because, well, I responded to Mike, not ~Deb. I responded to ~Deb earlier, trying to get her to leave M for me – but that is not going to happen. Sure, she would make out with me in the Tupperware® isle of Wal-Mart (actually I think they have Tupperware® substitutes), but she is not leaving M. The religious right would have you think that lesbians can't commit; darned religious right because they are wrong about this one.

Anyway, why was I recycling a comment I made yesterday when I have nothing to write about today? Er, to waste space? Can't be. I would not write a line just to waste a line of space. I am not getting paid by the word. Ever wonder why Moby Dick was so darned thick - Herman Melville was paid by the word! Really. Trust me – don't Google it!

Here is what I don't understand. The Cincinnati Bengals have set up a jerk hotline. From the article: "Cincinnati Bengals fans annoyed by bad behavior in the stands can now report it by cell phone. The hot line number should be easy to remember - (513) 381-JERK.

Fans using too much foul language will get a warning from stadium security. Those who continue could be ejected and have their season tickets and personal seat licenses taken away. More serious offenses could lead to arrest."

And I am not giving you the first two paragraphs of the article to waste space – it is just too important of a topic.

Here is what I don't understand – okay, the Cincinnati Bengals are getting tough on jerks (which I support), but isn't it the Cincinnati Bengals that have players going to jail on a weekly basis. I am not going to Google the Bengals, but I don't know why they don't have a number to call if you find Bengals players breaking the law.

Yeah, more than a page! Yeah! I wish I got paid by the word. I would never have to work another day in my life.

Edit: VX is right. The Bengals don't have one player per week arrested. Here is the list:
