you forgot to log Frank's crowning of Blaise as the leader of the "Elmo Generation."

Blaise Larmee said...

i feel like jason overby was associated with the elmo generation, not me

Frank Santoro said...

Actually, I was referring to a slew of weird mini-comics I got in the mail - all really "soft and fuzzy with no edge". I never used any names. And then someone in the comments section of this blog used the term. Just sayin.

If a blog rises and falls in a blog-o-sphere, does it make a noise?

Anonymous said...

it makes the noise of thousands of clicking fingers on keys

but what does the future bring.......?

Uland said...

I think I applied "Elmo" to Blaise and Austin

PIRATE MUNG said...

elmo can shit in his pants

this blog is about gentlemanly courtesies, final discussions and proper violence. there are many female participants, all garbed in clever pseudonym.

according to this flimsy listing, jabs, daubs, jests and platitudes have been distributed in equal measure, to all parties concerned, over this fabled year. we should consider ourselves lucky for such a gentle forum.

but no one said it wasn't likely, hey. if nothing else, it was expected. but fresh expectations blossom like tulips. 'tis the season, jag-off(s).

happy birthday suckerz

i liked that time when there was that post about that thing and some of them agreed but others did not, but it did make me feel something true, it did, it did.

it brought me towards emotion, but also towards action. god bless.

That's cool. That is the past. But can you write future "posts of note" now? I want to know what tomorrow has in store for me.

07/06/10 comment section of "birthday" post "mysteriously" self-destructs into "suck-dom"

07/07/10 everyone receives money (b-day present)

07/08/10 everyone spends money on avocado

07/09/10 back where we fucking started, but slightly less hungry

07/10/10 stink of rancid avocado lingers, colors "irl" social interactions

07/11/10 avocado-scented "hobo phase" begins

06/11/11 first Avocado Hobo Baby is birthed, taught to type

06/12/11 A.H.B. "Debuts"

06/15/11 A.H.B. post garners 7 comments, 5 of which "mysteriously" self-destruct

sorry dudes, had to take the leap
can you stand the heat???
i mean seriously, happy birthday guys
enjoy your moment in the glaring sun
heat death, imminent

let's get a good discussion going now

Anonymous said...

i think other things are going to happen, other than what you listed, Vomits. But I think your vision of the future is blissful and smelly. I'll pray for you.

J.T. Dockery said...

Being that I just caught up with all the posts on this blog and then realize it's the year anniversay, it all feels like time travel somehow.

Rina A said...

Damn that Jason Overby. Always startin' shit. I mean, congratulations, guys.

Ian Harker said...

There is a new issue of "Monster" coming out. Can we start reading the tea leaves now please?

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

i thought brian ralph just never got around to photocopying the final issue. but it exists, right?

Ian Harker said...

Spurgeon reported it on his blog yesterday. Debuts at SPX, all new material I believe. I'm interested to see what shape it take. I just hope they print at least a thousand so i can get one in the first hour of the show.

D{ said...

New Monster, I'd hope to see that indeed! I know 2 issues were made at least, not sure what kind of run they had originally. Brinkman's work is reprinted in Teratoid Heights.

Jason Overby said...

that's what I do, Rina
