Comments
I'm just going to cut right to the chase on this one.
Leave comments, people! Without comments, awesome blogs shrivel up and die, like raisins, only raisins are generally dead even before they shrivel. Have you ever seen a talking grape? I didn't think so. And that's why you should comment.
I've even added this nifty Cbox thing in the sidebar for you lazy people (like me) that don't like leaving traditional, crunchy, crunchy comments.
For those of you who are regular readers and comment your figurative asses off, hats off to you, good sirs and madams. Here's a treat for those of you that want to share Chasing Ducks with the world:
Chasing Ducks banners!
If you can't figure out how to put it on your page and make it a link without my help, you don't deserve to have it.
Ok, fine! I'll give you lazy n00bs the code:
<a href="http://www.chasingducks.com/"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0GuTEihg448/RyazNRQNnBI/AAAAAAAABXY/hFQqLTtsq4A/s400/cd_banner1.jpg" alt="Chasing Ducks: A study in ridiculosity." border="0"></a>
This produces the banner with the duck head. For the other, replace "http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0GuTEihg448/RyazNRQNnBI/AAAAAAAABXY/hFQqLTtsq4A/s400/cd_banner1.jpg" with "http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0GuTEihg448/RyazNRQNnCI/AAAAAAAABXg/LylRJ4gCwzw/s400/cd_banner2.jpg".
Enjoy, you lazy, non-commenting, HTML-ignorant failures. Enjoy.

6 crunchy, crunchy comments

Forrest says: That comma right after 'traditional' is feeling a little OVERUSED.
CUT TO THE CHASE! CUT TO THE CHASE! HA HA!
Pun intended?
What pun?
And the comma after "traditional" was entirely necessary. That was a string of adjectives all describing one noun. Note that there is no comma after the second "crunchy", since it's adjacent to the noun. All the other adjectives need commas, though.
Suck on that!
Yeah, all that grammar crap aside, you read it out loud and you think to yourself, "Why the heck am I pausing here? I'm not a ninety-year-old woman."
So, rules be damned, punctuation works best when it *sounds* best.
Bam!
(Pun="Cut to the CHASE"/"CHASING Ducks")
You don't have to pause at a comma. A comma is a written thing. It visually separates clauses.
When you're speaking, the pauses often coincide with the commas, but sometimes they don't. Like in that sentence, the first comma wouldn't normally be paused.
I think of a spoken comma more as an inflection barrier. Like I'll go up in one part of a sentence, then do another scale upward, and then go down.
And that's actually a pretty cool pun. I didn't intend it, though.
man, i cant post the banner in the comment. this is going to be a boring comment now
