I was sceptical yesterday as I tuned in for the mega-concert of the millenium. Could this truly be a catalyst for change or was it just a great PR opportunity for dozens of pop performers? Czech super model Petra Nemcova (pictured here) took the stage and my questions were answered as she recounted her harrowing tale of surviving the tsunami in Thailand. Of course everyone knows that the tsunami wasn't caused by global warming but her point was that Mother Nature was very powerful and should be respected lest she turn on us. "Don't you agree??" she shouted to the audience, microphone pointed throngward. A tepid smattering of applause and a few hoots was the response and I immediately was inspired to save energy by turning off the TV! I've done my part...who among you can say the same?

Nice one, blob. I only wish I could hear your impression of said super-babe once more! It was almost as entertaining (and almost identical) to your babushka of yore!
Newsflash!!!!! Blob & Party Bear Both on Wrong Side of Argument.Talk about dog bites man story. Wrong,wrong wrong!!! Petra Nemcova is surely one of the wonders of our poor, benighted age-- Miss July Sports Illustrated calendar two years running!!She is hot, hot, hot!!! Just because insensitive philistines like you two can't feel her pain doesn't make it any less real. Petra!! I ACHE FOR YOU!!!!! That's sensitivity in a nutshell, you callous jerks!! Please cancel my subscription to the Blob.
Anonymous, whoever you are (and I have a feeling I know) They'll be no such cancellation!! It's nice to see that you "ache" for Petra but how far would your empathy go if she hadn't suffered only horrible INTERNAL injuries during the tsunami,eh?? Has your hallowed SI Swimsuit Issue featured any amputees lately? Stick with The Blob and don't cut and run any time a dissenting point of view crosses your path.
love,
Blob
As it happens, some of my best friends are amputees, you anti amputeeite!! As for dissenting views, isn't that just another phrase for WRONG????? Here's the deal. You dump Party Bear(and his sick, sick ideas),and I won't cancel. Love Anonymous(for now).
Listen here Mr. so-called Anonymous, we agree that Petra Nemcova is a stunning beauty. All she had to do at Live Earth is take the stage, shut up, and maybe wiggle around a bit but no....she had to make some inane statement and ruin everything. Sports Illustrated deserves kudos for never allowing their calendar girls to air their views on world events...they know a buzz-kill when they see one! As for dropping Party Bear,well, that's NEVER gonna happen!! Despite his innumerable and legendary flaws he's here to stay as are any Blob contributors who wish to. On the Petra issue Party Bear has sided with me and if you, in your jealous rage, are trying to drive a wedge between us it's not going to work. This is just the type of behaviour I'd expect from a frustrated euphoniumist...HEY!! you're not???....nah....couldn't be.
Dear Blob You may have the impression that all I do is trash you and your site all the time. Not true! I actually enjoy it very much. And, if I may say so, I have learned a few things from you along the way. Such as, not being afraid to ask the hard questions; the tough questions. When you've finished reading this,I think you'll understand why I'm "flying under the radar",so to speak.What do we really know about Party Bear? I've been doing a little digging, and if you don't mind me mixing metaphors,while I've not found any skeletons in his closet,I've found a few very interesting bone fragments.FACT. At least one of his children is a thespian!!! FACT. Before they were married,both he and his wife practiced celibacy!!!FACT.Isn't it curious that he leaves town (often for days on end!!!)frequently?FACT.Why has he never(not even once, as far as I know)talked about possible CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK??? As I said, Blob, I learned from you the importance of asking the hard questions; the difficult questions.So. Knowing what you know now- do you still want "Party Bear"(if that's his real name!!!!)to be part of the Blob team? I thought not! As far as me playing that most holy of instruments, the euphonium, I (for the moment) admit nothing.
Hey Dudes,
Chill out for a second. Let's have a dry Martini and some of Mother Nature's herb.
Now...I think you both have a point: I AM awesome!
I see in your letters way too many exclamation points. That can only mean one thing: a surfeit of iron in the blood. And we all know the cure for that one!
You boys need to get some action!
Make love, not punctuation, baby. And another thing, (and I hate to dissent, but) the key to happiness is a Besson Tuba, preferably played daily!
Good luck, fellas, and remember to micturate!
Love, and little kittens,
I speak only for myself, of course.Who, though, would not, could not be moved by the easy grace, the gentle wit and the warm ,humanistic philosophy of party bear? He speaks the wisdom of the ages in a language even the most simple among us can understand. Let us listen to him and learn! Personally, I'm using much less in the way of punctuation and I'm lovin' it(!!) I used to think that happiness was found in expensive t-shirts and beautiful women- or even beautiful women in expensive t-shirts-you get the idea.Now, my life's path is clear to me, thanks to the Blob and party bear (he's so humble he doesn't use capital letters(!!). My one hope is that anonymous(however many of them there are) will feel the peace i(that is so liberating(!!) feel. A dry martini, a little of mother-nature's weed (and a little mastication no doubt brought on by the weed) and i'm happy at last(!!). i feel my iron levels dropping as i write(!!). Thank you both for turning my life around(!!!!!)-------- ha ha(!!) the computer seems to be acting up (how amusing!!!!!!!!!!!) and i can't submit this via my google account so, i'm submitting this anonymously but know one and all that it's mikexxxter who has become just a little bit wiser. again, thank you, party bear(!!!).
It all sounds like hippie talk to me and yet Mikexxxster I have to agree; there's something subversive yet oddly appealing about partybear's message of peace and harmony. He is a bearded, besandaled man who walks the earth spreading his message of a better life through mild intoxication. Have you been to his basement? It's there that I've seen him turn water into beer and in turn to urine! He is Awesome and I for one am humbled by his grace.
All I can think to say, anonymous, is that in spite of your attempts to convince us that this self-proclaimed party animal, Party Bear, is wrong/distasteful/untrustworthy in every respect, I have come to one inevitable conclusion about you. Clearly, after your all too frequent rambling diatribes that you have developed, over the course of many of these ravings, some feelings for Party Bear that despite your love of punctuation, grammar and correct sentence structure (clear signs of High eductaion), you have found yourself unable to express these complex emotions in any clear or obvious manner. I can only advise that if you truly wish your feelings to remain unrequited, continue on as you are and you shall truly remain anonymous.
dear blob. who is this maria callous and how can i meet her? what is your policy on your correspondents dating? i know for a fact that anne landers refused utterly to facilitate all of my attempts to "rendezvous" with those letter-writers of hers that were either rich,cute,just slightly screwed-up or in some other way mysteriously attractive.somehow, ms callous has the impression that i might be attracted to my spiritual mentor partybear(!) impossible(!) like my other spiritual mentor, tobias funke of television fame, i am all man. a man's man if you will . yet i have a sensitive side too- i feel things- i seem to know things even from a distance. so- on to the chase(!!) two things strike me about maria callous: one, she is feisty(!) second, she is hot(!) those are things i like in hot, feisty women(!) she and i need to meet(!) my dear blob-if you won't help, or if somehow ms callous is other-wise unable to have her dreams become a reality, perhaps you would pass on a strictly- business offer. a girl of her obvious mettle and confidence would most assuredly be a great success in the world of foxey-boxing(!)think about that(!) won't you see that she gets that message even if you won't pass on the first? the three of us would become rich(!!!!) i am sure mr creechman of beloved memory wouldn't pass up this opportunity(!!!!!)
Oh, go punctuate yourself!
Geez, I really can't keep up. My head is spinning and I need a rest. Keep it up all you Party Bears and P.B. wannabees!
