Fastest ban in the history of the Internet

Lloyd here with a quick update.

One weekend highlight is that I am now banned from a total stranger's blog for one little comment I made about how you should not list blogs on your resume. Duh! Who would do that?

Well, he got his panties in a wad, and here I am providing a free critique of his skill, or lack thereof. I tell you, some people are just not all there upstairs, if you know what I mean.

That said, I may have found DMoany's soulmate here:

You can fnd the entire blog here:

------------------------------------------------


First let me start with some good news! I am now considered "Staff Writer" (as opposed to "Contributing Writer") for the Eagle News! ( You must have written your very own local issues story all by your little self!) Woohoo! I'm still only writing boring articles (you mean all of them are boring? no surprise there!) (the ones that no one else wants) but now I'm getting paid for it (in cigarettes and IOUs). It sounds stupid, but its very cool to see your name in print. (Which is why you started this blog)
Anyway, on to the real purpose for this post. I am so angry (or perhaps disturbed, nervous, distraught, etc.) right now. I received the following message on my MySpace account today:
u are the cutest guy I've ever seen in my damn life and im sorry if that is forward of me to say, my name is tim and i would like to get to know u better. contact me sometime, (ps -- I want to have your babies)

And he left his contact information, including a phone number. Now, before even responding, I always try to get the most information I can. (You hide in his bushes? Sheesh!) So I check out his profile and a few things strike me as odd. (A) His orientation is not listed. This is one of the main reasons for getting the background info. I don't want some cop (what's the big deal with cops? You date illegally?) or homo-hater luring me into his lair with false promises. But this misstep can be easily explained as he just isn't completely open about his sexuality. (or he could be shy and wary of goons stalking him like you did) Fine. I'm not either, hell, my family doesn't even know. (B) His religion is protestant. (Strike one) Now, this explains why his orientation isn't listed (or does it...). It could also further my point that he's a homo-hater because he speaks often of prayer and God (or he could just be a little more well-adjusted with his slot in life than you...). Now I certainly don't have a problem with anyone being Protestant or speaking highly and/or often of God. I have a few religious friends myself (sure ya do). But it just tweaked me the wrong way. So this was my response:
---------------------
Thanks for the compliment! You're very cute yourself (so is the baby!). I'd like to get to know you better too. Feel free to email me @ sgc2002@gmail.com
I hope you don't mind that I am leery of giving out my phone # to people online.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
-----------------
I also included my AIM contact info. Shortly thereafter we have this conversation:
--------
[21:16] TIM: hi[21:16] STEVEN: hi there
[21:16] TIM: just wanted to say sorry i wasted ur time in sending that e-mail
[21:16] STEVEN: you're not wasting my time! what makes you say that?
[21:17] TIM: cause ur just like all the other gay guys of the world u cant even give me ur number so we can get to know each other
[21:18] STEVEN: I'm sorry, I just don't feel comfortable giving out my numbers to people I don't know yet
[21:18] TIM: well what ever
[21:18] TIM: nice talking to u
[21:18] TIM: byeWhich I've edited so the a**hole won't recieve flaming IMs from all of my Blogger friends. :)

This conversation was followed by a quick retaliation of mine which I still believe has some merit:

[21:19] STEVEN: for the record...nowhere on your profile is your orientation mentioned, so how am I to know that you're not a gay basher, couldn't that possibly be the reason why men don't give you their numbers?
[21:20] TIM: whatever
[21:20] TIM: laters
So now I'm upset, because this guy was cute and also because I might've been wrong. ( I bet you were wrong) Should I just give out my phone # to everyone that asks? (yes) Am I being paranoid? Or should I tell them it's "1-800-GO-2-HELL"? (I think it should be 1-800-WHINY-GUY)

Lloyd out until next time, fellow asses!

Congrats to you on your promotion!

As for the guy in question:

I think your serial killer gaydar was running on fresh batteries with that one.

Cute--sure. But a lot of people found Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy to be quite fetching as well.

You know the old saying: just as easy to marry a rich man as a poor man--

In turn, just as easy to schtup a nice cute man as a sick/twisted cute man (isn't it? Well, what do I know).

I had a blogpal who constantly harangued me to reveal my phone number and address, and also "helpfully" offered to let me use his server--"no strings attached"--of course.

It wasn't a sex-type thang--just a manipulative control thing.

I was promoted?

I must've missed that news while crapping on the boss' car last Friday, which was wacky tie day at the office.

Mine had Spider Man on it.

And yes, this goof ball is a total whackjob. Who goes and resets their blog preferences when a stranger makes one innocent comment or two?

Oh yes -- DMoany. And this nut case too.

Cheers,
Lloyd

Donovan, a lot of us are pretty sure you're behind this blog and that you're just doing it for attention. Stop. It's 100 percent lame, and nobody cares anymore.

And alot of us are pretty sure that Mittens is fed up with Lloyd always asking for her advice. Mittens should go on strike, and become a payed employee if you ask me. Whiskas and cat nip just doesn't cover your normal cat life charges anymore...
