It has come to my attention that people are disappointed in this blog because the humor level is not up to expectations (BRING ON THE FUNNY, BUB!) and that the choice location for reading these well crafted missives is NOT the reading room at the New York Public Library. (Use your imagination for this one).
First of all, I take the first part of the comment as a compliment, people generally view me as funny, and are expecting the same here. It just so happens that (1) some people are funny in person , improv, if you will, which is where my skill lies, (I'd like to beleive) (2) some people are funny writers ( see MBB ) and (3) sometimes the reader or listener has no sense of humor, or fails to see the subtle brilliance in the humor.
In the case of the commenter herein, I vote for #3, as well as #1, of course. But keep coming back and reading, you never know, maybe I'll hit the funnybone or take lessons from my friends at IcebergCarwash.
Now, as to the reading of these fine words in places that don't really do them justice, remind me NOT to borrow your Blackberry.

You see there, now that's MUCH better.
Nothing like a little constructive criticism to get those creative "funny juices" flowing....
who says YOU can????
enough of the anonymous comments. i think all of you commenters should have the guts to let people know who you are if you want to be taken seriously. This blog is becoming like all the jewish magazines and publications where about 50% of the letters are essentially anonymous, especially the really caustic ones spewing righteous hellfire and brimstone.
Stand up like a man ( or woman) and let people know who you are.
who says we can't? some of us who criticize actually CAN. and DO it pretty well
while I did not have time to reread through your entire blog with its comments I am not exactly sure what you are refering to and where you are finding your critics. Unless they are accosting you in person which unfortunately I will be unable to do.
Keep writing and we will keep commenting!
Stop talking about humor. If you can, do.
sometimes the reader or listener has no sense of humor, or fails to see the subtle brilliance in the humor.
subtle brilliance
referring to yourself
My my, that's not arrogant of you at all.
