In which Jester gets a little misty eyed…
I was thumbing through some old posts tonight and enjoying the early comments that were left by my small but devoted group of participants here at Jestertunes.
I can’t believe the number of really talented, funny, and honest folks who stop by here and leave me a message. A year ago, I didn’t know of most of you. I wasn’t writing to this site very much, and what I was writing wasn’t very interesting, yet you came anyway!
I decided to install a wordpress plugin that shows the top commenters on this site just to see who talks here as much as I do. You can see the top 15 in my sidebar (near the bottom). These numbers will update automatically as you comment more or someone new takes over your spot.
I’d like to introduce everyone to the current (as of right…….. now… top 15:
- hellohahanarf - One of only three people on the list that I have had the pleasure of meeting in person. She is such a fun person, and I am so sorry that I didn’t get the opportunity to spend more time hanging out with her when we met at a technology conference in Columbus, OH two years ago. We hit it off immediately, and within a few minutes we were cruising the crowd looking for a boy to show her a good time. I offered to hit one particularly cute youngster over the head with a golf club in order for her to take advantage of him, but it turned out that I didn’t need to stoop to such measures. She netted a date without my help. I wish she’d start her own blog. (I’ll even help!) Her emails to me are hysterical.
- Killer - I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Killer, yet. He’s currently in Sacramento which is a whole 45 miles from me. He works all the time, so he says. We have plans to get together before he leaves town again. If you haven’t checked the blog he shares with Liz yet, you are missing some great stories about his job as a nurse in the ICU, and many stories that involve his testicles. He claims to have three. I think I’m going to require that he prove it.
- Othurme - Jerry has become one of my best friends over the past couple of years. I was introduced to him by one of the best (and most fucked up) drummers I have ever worked with. We started a band that would very soon become Total Eclipse. Jerry plays bass and keys and tuba and guitar and just about everything else. Recently, he joined the other band that I am in, Retro Rock It. I now see him at least twice a week, and we occasionally get together for dinner on days we DON’T have rehearsal. I have sat for many hours at the same blackjack table with Jerry. His stories are funny, and his comments here are priceless!
- Bianca - I think Bianca and I found each other through BlogExplosion. She lives in Tulsa and I had every intention of meeting her when I was there visiting Tracy Peace. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. I won’t make that mistake again. She says I’m probably the first gay person she’s ever been friends with. I’m really sorry that the distance keeps me from being the proper gay friend who can go out with her to cool restaurants and help her get rid of those annoying guys that hit on her.
- DutchBitch - Another fabulous babe I have met through BlogExplosion. There’s a pretty significant chance that we will never meet. Though a trip to Dutchyland is something I would REALLY love to make happen. DB is a single mother who can find humor in just about any situation, and isn’t afraid to completely embarrass herself for our amusement.
- Mist 1 - Mist is a complete mystery to me. There are no pictures of her. She claims that her name is actually “Mist One.” She lives somewhere in the south… Georgia is my best guess. She can leave a one line comment on one of my posts that is far funnier than anything I said in the 500 words above it. She has a very active blog full of people who comment and participate, yet she still makes time to share her vodka-driven happiness over here. She even claims to “really, really like this blog.”
- Liz - Liz is another mystery to me. I have seen pictures and I have exchanged emails with her… yet there remains this pervasive doubt in my mind that she is just one of the personalities that resides in Killer’s mind. You ever notice how you never see them together in the same post? I’ve never gotten email from both of them at the same time. The only photo I’ve seen of the two of them together was obviously photoshopped. Whether she exists or not, I’m declaring her my official American South Fruit Fly. My goal is to have one in every geographic region of the earth. I’m still looking for someone to fill the Australian and African positions.
- Miss Britt - Who’s pretty, blonde, outspoken, and completely obsessed with Prince? Miss Britt, that’s who. I believe we also met through BlogExplosion. Her site is very funny, especially when she gets riled up about some idiot who was in front of her on the highway, or when someone says something off kilter to her. Woe be to the one who upsets her. Someday when I’m hunting down Mist on the east coast I’ll look Britt up, too. I’m sure I owe her a beer by now.
- Ginamonster - I don’t know how Gina found me. She’s a cool single chick living in Lakeside, CA who will have to let me know the next time she finds herself around my neck of the woods. I want to see her pink banjo pants in person, and maybe sample some of her shower singing. Don’t worry, I won’t peek.
- Crail - I am sorry to say that I don’t know very much about Crail. I know that he is a friend of my great friend Dan. I believe he may be the most elder reader of my blog (72?) (notice I didn’t call you old, Crail!), and he lives in a small town about an hour from me. He is an immigrant from Scotland, which probably means somewhere back along the tree we have relatives in common. I’m just four generations from Scotland on my mother’s side.
- Neurotic Mom - Canadian-transplant-stay-at-home-mom, dysfunctional family, and not at all politically correct. Are you intrigued yet? I am.
- Heather - She could have followed me from Killer and Liz’s site… or maybe she found from Fringe’s site… or it could have been from Mist’s site. The world may never know. What I do know is that she has had a recent fascination with all things bunnies. And penises. Not necessarily at the same time.
- Toby - Someone else who really needs his own blog. Regular/long time readers here know that Toby and I have a long and sordid past. He holds the distinction of being the only person on this list I’ve seen naked. At least I think so… there are a few nights I don’t remember so well… and there was that one morning the mirror had “Love Mist” scribbled on it in lipstick and anal lube… Curious…
- Webmiztris - If we were to meet I think Webmiztris is the person I’m most likely to get into real trouble with on a Friday night. Especially if she were to bring her mom along. Oh, and her husband is HOT! Want proof?
- Howard - Funny, gay, great taste in music. Next to Scott, who’s on a blog-hiatus right now, he’s my favorite gay male blogger. He also contributes over at N2Notes.
I feel quite lucky to have such a talented and good looking bunch of friends who hang out around here.
And now that we all know who’s in the lead, I expect the competition to be the top commenter to get quite heated.
