The First Comment Mailbag
In a previous post a commenter from what looks like Amsterdam writes:
Oh and sorry to bother, but as I’m trying to catch up with your blog, and didn’t have the time to read everything from the start, would you be kind enough to explain what exactly you do?..
Thanks!
What exactly I do. Hmm. Sounds like I need to put an “About” page up someday. In the meantime….
I use some bandwidth I had left over from running another website with even smaller readership, and use WordPress to write little posts on this web page here. Sometimes people read it and wish they hadn’t. I have been known to search the Internet for pictures of pants and convert twenty-year-old bureaucratic instructions on how to write good.
I hope that answers your question!
By the way, our commenter was kind enough to inform me that “Einstellungen” means “Settings”, so now I can get vertigo in two languages playing that Slickball game.
I also got a hit from Caribpundit’s RTFM. Along with the ever-supportive Candepundit, all I need is a Mexpundit and our NAFBA (North American Free Blogging Agreement) is complete!
Update: Our commenter informs me that he’s not from Amsterdam, but somewhere else instead. That’s what I get for reading IP addresses. He says:
If you refer to my country of origin, I’d say that’s a tiny weasely country that would certainly wants JFK for Prez…
That settles it. He’s from Canada.
Also, Anne mentions “pants” again. She must really like them. Do you know how hard it is to find a usable picture of a single pair of pants, without nekkid people in them, on the web? Entirely too hard, I tell you.

Well that -hum- does answer my question, but not exactly the way I wanted!
Not so sure to get your point on Amsterdam, though.

Chap,
There was a guy at my last job who was obsessed with pants. Just saying the word would cause him to laugh and laugh. He came to mind when reading your latest post. Too bad I have lost touch with him. You two would have had so much fun.

No Chap, I’m not from Canada, God forbid!
Your tracing was almost accurate to the other side of the Atlantic, but it should have led you a bit farther to the south-west, in a country where we spit at american cyclists, support the oppressed palestinian “militants”, and are used to letting the US do the dirty job for us (remeber, june 1944)…
It’s true though that at some point my family planned to escape to Quebec, but that plan has been long forgotten now. Not really better there than here…
