NormI'd never smear pap
It's very apparent that the quality of writing in most blogs is of a very high standard. Gladly for me, I've found it very hard to produce any work that is even remotely comparable to the sheer vibrancy of so much of this kind of writing. I'd be beside myself with despair if I felt that writing that was of a lesser standard than my own had a larger number of readers than my own. It's not an insult to me when work that is so clearly of greater value than my own desperate attempts to understand reality is seen as of greater value. Fortunately for me, my understanding of the world as it really is is not as precise as I would like to think it is. Clearly, there is great value in taking the world for all it seems to be. I have to admit the value of taking current events as of greater importance than studying in some vaguely spritual fashion the vast ocean of past events. If the sea is the past then history is a boat. If and only if. I'm not for a minute suggesting that history is some kind of human construction. I'd never do that. The past is not just some vast body of salty water with fish in it. I'd never go trawling the past in some vain attempt to find some meaningful comprehension of my own life that didn't include some reference to a current issue or individual. My top priority is the strategic placement of this blog and variuos other serious endeavours, such as monstrous scottish trousers. To my dear readers, why can't you all go forth and multiply, so that I can get to the top the easy way? Forget I asked; I have. My course has been delineated for me by divine authority. I shouldn't have said that. What I meant to say was, Britney John Howard Spears. Never let it be said that the author of this piece is suffering a mild case of self-pity. Pap and clap: opposite.

Fishing in the past in the past for something, something fishy.
Now, hang on to your socks for this line coming up.
Are you seated?
Good.
Here it comes.
This is it:
keep it reel.

This is one of the most excellent E&Q posts ever and certainly one of the smartest posts in the blogosphere.
This is very very clever.
...and my tone is not that of your first few lines (he he)...(oh sorry...LOL...ROFL...*snicker *)...
I believe that most people here (definitely excluding David...and myself -wink-...sorry...
I am in awe. No exclamation marks, no asterisks. Just awe.
Be well buddy

Worthy of a post in and of itself.
The way you have italicised the entire line is reminiscent of the best Italian Renaissance masterpieces.
Oil on canvas has nothing on your pixel on screen technique.
The full-stop at the end is in just the right place aesthetically. It adds balance.
To not capitalise the first letter adds a certain modern impressionistic panache to the line. And I know you don't write for Monet-ary Go-gain on a Dali basis.

Cheers, Dusk.
Self-pity and me?
Old friends.
Reaquainted of late.
Happily parted.
Swings and roundabouts.
Ruck and roll, mate.
DVD,
I can't possibly make a comment to such humour.
You know I abhor laughter.
Cracking up as we speak.
Cheers,

Pap and clap? I know that you think they are opposites but in my line of work... they are intertwined. They go together like peanut and butter, ham and eggs....the right wing and the porn industry. Thank you so much for this hilarious post.... All you need is add a little gonnorhea and syphilis to make this swinging party complete!
Cheers! Gotta go my chastity belt is a wee tight!

i'm with you on all that.
I can't take credit for this work though.
I lifted the whole lot from somewhere else.
Not really.
I'll buckle up now.
Cheery,
