You're Here to Help

Ok, I just created a blog thing so I could tell you that your column is fine the way it is. If I were you I wouldn't want to do any of the things you listed, and I know I don't want to read what other people say to you. You keep me entertained enough talking to yourself in a column. So don't change it.

all right; first and foremost- tell court to add a damn edit function for the commentors.

Now on to your list:

Pictures: html is easy a taking a piss (unless you have problems w/ your prostate, if so, imagine back to when you didn't, ahhhh). W/ programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Dreamweaver hosting a pic is about as easy as cut and pasting (until you get into cropping, transparencies, etc). I think this site is more about the writing and therefore is not in need of visual aids, then again you are writing to the collegiate demographiic. Your choice, let me know if you need help.

Links: fuck links, make the people who are new go back and read the rest to catch up. It's an incentive for you if they do ;)

Mailbag: probably the only idea I liked, not necessary though. THe only exception to posting w/out permission should be Tucker Max who is a total elitist fag.

Statistics: the only one who should be concerned w/ this is Court. If he wants to post who gets the most hits between the PiC writers than he should set that up. Otherwise the only stats I'd want to see from you would be % of correctness on football picks, pick up line effectivness stats (including a "slap" factor), shaved or not shaved stats, you know stats of the shit YOU write about.

Anything I Missed: a fricking Edit feature for people who comment =P

btw, why's court comin' down on you so hard, is he trying to make this like a job? tell him to give you a paycheck then! hehehe =P

Pictures: Unnecessary
Links: Never
Mailbag: Whatever
Statistics: Unnecessary
Awkward Thanks: You're welcome (with toe in the dirt and punching you in the shoulder)

Pictures: Nope

Links: Each piece stands by itself. No links required.

Mailbag: Not a fan of the idea myself.

Statistics: Who cares, as tylerstl says, it should only be Court who is concerned.

That about sums it up

Going to go ahead and disagree with everyone else...without pictures we dont get to see the likes of people like Bunni...I feel them to be a necessary not only because she is hot but because...wait a minute..that is the reason.

Links: Not necessary, though i read everything anyway because you are funny and, well, i am bored in class

other two are unnessary as well

Liked the edit feature idea above and also the outside stat idea particularly your football betting percentage

Thats it

Dear Nate,

Don't ever change.

Love,
Catherine

Its funny. I bumped into your column by searching the internet for accounts of 'dragging-the-teeth' blowjobs and have never looked back!

I enjoy it as it is. Pictures would be an added bonus, but its the content that keeps me coming back for more. Pictures or no pictures, I'll keep reading because its funny and interesting. Don't care about links. REALLY don't care about statistics. Mailbag, meh, as long as its not 'forced'.

I think the main reason I enjoy the articles so much is because I can clearly see that you enjoy what you are writing about, and it shows in the writing, which makes it interesting.

My two cents...

Just keep being a lazy bastard. Thats how we like it. Im far too lazy to bother with a mailbag, or even clicking links. Pictures require no effort on my part, but im far too stupid to work out html on my own blog, i cant rightly ask you to now can i?

As for your awkward thankyou, heres an awkward your welcome. Now go grab a beer and turn on the footy.

gotta agree with huniii, just keep being a lazy, repugnant, womanizing, drunk bastard.
its why your loyal readers love you.
as for pics...... neat, but its the writer and the subject matter that make the column, not pointless pictures, they simply dont add enough to make them worthwhile.

stats=gay. fuck off court......
and anyone else who sincerely cares about this.

mailbag.....could be cool. some chickadee named nicole used to do an advice column here, but it didnt really take off, to my knowledge, but i dont think it was because it was a bad idea. put the right person on it, weather it be yourself, or j-reb, because quite frankly, you two are the only ones on here with talent.
sorry mikey, mediocreity hurts, i would imagine.
fuck spellcheck.
all im sayin, is that i would read an advice column that in no way intended to help people.
once a month would be enough.

as for the links, when i first discovered pic, the links were somewhat of a convenience, as far as finding other stuff of interest or comedic value on the site, doesnt matter weather you link to your own work, or that of others, but it does have some redeeming qualities.

the only thing left is this.

the first time i read this..
"never care when you loose, never notice when you win, and always smile"
it changed my fucking life.
brilliant sir, now dont go changing.
.......or ill kill you. and i have relatives in florida. read: alibi.

All a waste of time, Open a beer and just keep writing!

Anything I Missed, Yes the column on pubic hair. Maybe that one could have picture, and links to said beaver.

Ah fuck, never mind! Just keep being you.

Pictures - No, might as well write those 1,000 words yourself
Links - No, if readers aren't into it enough to go back to your archives, then they dont get it enough for you to have to make the effort
Mailbag - Hell Yes. If you can filter out the obvious attempts to get posted, except for the insanely creative reader (see: Bill Simmons), then the idea has some serious potential
Stats - No, you'll get stat happy and start a rivalry with Rebello...ignorance is bliss in all facets of life

Nathan:

Let's see. The way I look at it is This is your ride. We (read: your fans) don't buy the gas, don't own the car, and we ain't paying when we get there. Ergo, our collective job is to shut the fuck up and just keep on enjoying the insanity that is your life. Your talent is in the writing and not in finding pictures, thats Goodyer. Plus I would like to believe that with good writing the intelligent reader creates a pciture in their own mind, and THAT is where the humor comes in.

As for what Court wants you to do, FUCK HIM! He is the only one getting paid. Tell him if he wants links (annoying) or pictures (see above) then he can get his communist football (soccer) loving ass out of bed 1 hour earlier and do it his own damn self.

I agree with an prior poster in saying that the only people on the site with honest to god regular comedy talent is you and Rebello. Everyone else is to forced. You guys seem to flow. And Rebello seems to just be bitchy most of the time. I look at you as the original comedian and rebello as a critic of life/film/sports/etc...

Oh, and I wouldn't fear the death threats. The ones that write it out usually don't do anything. The ones that don't write, well.....

Anyway, keep doing what you are doing. We are with you.


All the best-Kev

I like it just the way it is, links bother me. If i wanted pics I'd look at porn. this is what i do for down time no pics it would distract me. Besides you'd have your blog start looking like Goodyear's or whatever the hell he calls himself this week. I really can't stand that blog. Mailbag it teabag it do whatever the hell you want its your blog i just be a humble reader. and i don't care if you have a ticker on the bottom again your blog do whatever.
That should just about cover it.

Wow. I uh, don't know what to say. Actually, I do know what to say. Thanks for all the great feedback. I will continue doing as I have done. I've said it before and I'm typing it now: my readers kick ass.

Nate
Been reading your column for about 6 months now. And I really enjoy it. It reminds me of a life I used to have. You are not as stupid as your father would have you believe. Maybe not real bright, but definitely not in the stupid category. Pictures would be fine, because I think I would like the pictures you would post. I agree with the majority of the people about links. No one should be that lazy they can't check it themselves. The mailbag would be hilarious. Your take on other peoples problems is something I would look forward to reading.

Tyler, I agree the "edit comment" feature would be great, unfortunately the blogs are setup thru Blogger and they don't have that feature (yet?). Damnit Google.

As for your list Nate...

Pictures - cool (but not necessary). for better or worse, when you do put up a picture, i tend to associate it with your post

Links - definitely helpful. you have to admit, the way Blogger archives posts is horrible for going back and finding things

Mailbag - sounds fun, i think it'd be quite entertaining to see how you handle other ppl's problems

Statistics - sounds too Tucker Maxish

Nate,

The mailbag could be cool, though I think it would be better to just have it as a random thing when you get a worthwhile e-mail, rather than a weekly thing.

Links are good for people who are new to the site, though I've read all the archives so I don't really care.

I'm pretty ambivalent about pictures. They aren't really that important, but they are good to have once in a while.

An edit function would be nice.

ahh, hehehe, my bad Court, I'll stop bitchin about the edit function...for awhile at least muhahaha >:P

If you cared too much... then you just wouldn't be Nate...
