Everyone who has a public journal faces the same issue …<\/p>\n
Just how public shall it be.<\/p>\n
For me … it’s been pretty public.<\/p>\n
The following topics are the only ones off limits:<\/p>\n
I generally avoid talking politics, that just gets people pissed off;<\/p>\n
Religion, except when I’m in the mood to be sparky;<\/p>\n
Personal personal actiooon, hehe, like there’s anything to talk about there; and,<\/p>\n
Places where I’m going to be. Oh sure, I’ll mention afterwards, and it’s almost always Chicago or Ann Arbor, but some of the e-mail I get makes me hesitant to advertise places where I’m going to be before I’m there. Yes, I’m still regretting joining the Head-Up-My-Ass-Redneck Web-ring. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
But twice in the past week …<\/p>\n
Something in physical life has been said to me that has been hilarious …<\/p>\n
Phreaking hilarious.<\/p>\n
In both comments …<\/p>\n
I think I might have been the punch-line …<\/p>\n
And both were totally spontaneous by the speakers …<\/p>\n
And in both …<\/p>\n
Moments after the words were uttered that made me laugh my ass off …<\/p>\n
They were followed by the speaker’s firm declaration …<\/p>\n
“Don’t you dare post that on your website !!<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Hehe … Such power !!<\/p>\n
Though totally odd when people start conversations with you by saying …<\/p>\n
“This is off the record !<\/i>”<\/p>\n
