   Well, shit, look who’s back. 

   Will you teach us a surprising new fighting style discovered in the wastelands?

   Reveal the secret teachings of the Masons?

   Say something really funny about Jessica Simpson?

   Not sure if “back” is the right word.  I’ll post when I can, but I’m at home now taking care of my new son full-time.  Makes blogging tricky.  I’ll put up a few each day, but already I got roped into a ridiculous exchange in my comments section on a post that had nothing to do with partisan politics and everything to do with how I felt when I read a blurb in the WS.  And now I’ve wasted half the day answering back. This is why I stopped to begin with.  Maybe I’ll just do away with the comments, who knows.  But I have more important things to do than fight about these things over and over and over again.

   It’s tiring, and I have a little boy I can be spending time with.  Hell, changing diapers looks good compared to the pointless arguments I sometimes find myself in.

   Hope you’re doing well.

   Wow, congrats to both of you!  And, I had hoped that your first child be a masculine child.

   Man, do it, take the comments down.  Blog point counterpoint isn’t going to teach little G. how to throw a knuckle-ball.

   Thanks!  And funny you should bring up pitching, because we named him Satchel.

   Satchel, that’s great. 

   But forget the knuckle then, he’ll clearly be bringing the heat.

   Yup.  And it’s not even like he gets to switch to the knuckler at 45.  Tough namesake to live up to.  I mean, how do you tell your kid, “when you’re 70 you can start throwing off-speed stuff”…?

   Don’t worry, Jeff, we’ll take care of the trolls for you! (Assumes Deadly Crane Stance.)

   Jeff,

   Disable the comments if necessary to keep blogging.  Not all blogs need to be a discussion board and many aren’t.  That’s why God invented trackback.

   Congrats on your new son!

   Yeah, disabling comments would probably be the way to go.  They waste time and angry up the blood.  Hope you can find time to keep blogging, though.

    Welcome back, ol dawg.  I missed you.  As for the arguments, just don’t.  I try to let them ramble at my own place.  Sometimes I fail, but most times my own commeters represent me better than I do myself.

    Awwww…keep the comments, Jeff. It was half the fun of visiting your page back in the halcyon days of blogging.

    Some of your drunken, early morning raids in my comments section were a freaking scream. Since you disappeared (Federal Witness Protection? Fanta Red Cream Soda rehab? Hiding from your bookies?) my comments have become a barren wasteland of vapid Danish supermodel groupies and the usual psychotic stalkers one finds on the Internet.

    Congrats on the new addition to your family, the cool-named Satchel. How come my parents didn’t give me a cool name like that?

    Just loped over from the AI Rottweiler’s. Sounds like you got a quality product here. Looking forward to more visits. Will troll at Kerry’s BS site as well under a pseudonym.

    Hey Jeff,

    Speaking for no one but myself here—I hope you DON’T turn off the comments.  Trackback doesn’t work for the likes of me, simply because I don’t blog.  (I fear running out of things to say.  Maybe one day I’ll get over it and start a blog, but not today.)

    Yeah, you want to avoid the excessive arguments.  But there are ways to handle that, particularly since you’re the host in this particular hangout.  You can always lay low and let your guests duke it out, for example.  (Or, if you want to step in now and then, check out how http://www.rogerlsimon.com or http://www.lt-smash.us do it.  I can’t imagine either one takes much time with comments, except to read them.)

    Anyway.  Congratulations on Satchel!  Post some pictures when you can, willya please?

    wishing you all the best,
    
    Daniel in Medford

    Thanks.  I’ll try to post some Satchel pics soon.

    are you really going to whine about PayPal’s speech code the same day you banned me for… violating the new Protein Wisdom speech code you’ve implemented?

    Brilliant, Darleen.

    Arguably, happyfeet can be … vociferous … sometimes ratcheting the rhetoric to eleven. But I have trouble seeing where even a low-rent jovial dancing penguin such as happy runs afoul of Protein Wisdom’s TOS.
