250 Posts….
Looking for Closure? Yes, I posted Part 8 yesterday morning. Scroll down to read it and, uh, let me know if you find issues with the prose.
Part 8 is shaping up to be my least popular episode! Learn why as I compare a large roll of decals to Jesus Christ!
A new episode is scheduled for a Monday release.
The odometer rolls along, and another zero appears.
Your SafeTinspector has posted two hundred and fifty times since 14 May, 2005.
Two hundred and fifty one, including this post.
I’d ask you what you think I’ve done right, what I’ve done wrong, and for your selection of five new CD’s for only ONE PENNY when you agree to purchase an easy three CD’s a month at normal club prices for the next three months.
Hope you like The Dickies: Stukas Over Disneyland. Its the only album I have right now, and I’ll be breaking the law copying it the requisite three times to fulfill my end of the initial bargain. That’s how much I love you.
Every time I see a snowmobile or ATV magazine or poster on someone’s cubicle wall I always complain that they don’t seem to have any good mounting points for armaments, and that their defenses seem woefully inadequate. Its my little way of trying to point out the impracticality of these frivolous conveyances. I suppose having a couple around just in case you find yourself navigating post-apocalypse America might be prudent, but I always assume I’ll just steal what I need in that eventuality.
Ask me about my plans to steal an accordion in case of nuclear war.
Did I mention I’m not doing segues tonight?
Have you ever read my first post ever? It’s available off the back-issue rack if you’re trying to complete your collection. If not, on this occasion I choose to repost this following appropo excerpt:
Anyway, I don’t actually believe in blogs. For the average person like myself, a blog is merely a unwarranted piece of self promotion which is completely out of proportion with our place in this world.
I may be important to my wife, daughter, and my mother, but I’m fairly dispensable to the rest of my acquaintances, let alone the public at large for whom I am merely yet another soft-in-the-middle 30-ish white dude with a slightly menacing face.
I’m almost a year older now. None of the other facts and opinions I stated at that time have changed appreciably. I tend to indent my text now in a way I didn’t then. It makes me feel irritated when I read those old posts. Damn you, younger me, why didn’t you indent like a normal human? And quit having sex with my wife.
Two bloggers I liked have quit in the last month or so. El Barbudo and Veach Glines. Their reasons are similar, in that they both plead chronic and blog-terminal buziness.
Rest assured that the only way to get rid of me is to completely and totally ignore me. I know that comes as a relief to those who like me and an inspiration for those who hate me.
Take comfort in or make use of this data–your choice!
I hate converted mansions that are being used as office buildings. These creaky old edifices have the worst HVAC systems, and I usually come down with galloping pneumonia from the various temperature, humidity and barometric pressure zones I pass through while traversing the grounds. If it weren’t for my pocket full of Cipro, I fear I’d have succomed to the siren song of the tasteful throw rugs that invariably find their way to the lobby area. If only I could lay there and rest for one minute….but I know I’d never rise again.
The hair output of my ears is really starting to scale nicely now. Soon only the most hearty flies will be able to force their way into my ear canal to lay their eggs. The rest will die alone with their broken dreams in my forest of kinky ear-hair.
Is there a better way to die?




Hey, Mr. Tinspector. Congratulations on your biandonehalfcentennial! Try not to get too busy to blog, wontcha? Your blog is fantastic; one of my favourites. Now I’m off to read chapter 8. See you in a minute.
Wow, you’re on 250, Sarah’s nearly reahed 500. I’m such a newbie only just celebrating my 100th.
Is that 250 with your main blog or is it even more if you add in your other ones?
Sam PCB: Thanks! I’m serious, I’ll keep blogging as long as someone is reading. Only You Can Prevent Apathy. Yours is one of the proseticalest out there, and I tell you to also continue.
Kim:250 is just this main blog.
I used to post a lot of little posts inbetween the bigger posts. I also often would announce the addition of content to my other blogs.
Most of those are fairly inert, with the exception of my daughter’s blog.
SafeT’unes is sortof on haitus due to lack of interest. It was, in my opinion, an abject failure.
SafeTessays has been serving as a repository for some of the more extended posts from this blog, although I initially populated it with essays I had produced prior to blogging.
SafeTscenes is inert because I’m not writing for the stage anymore. I leave them there in case someone might like to use them or get inspired by them.
So there you have it!
Okay, I’ll bite. What about your plans to steal an accordion in case of nuclear war?
I hack at Mr. Z’s earhair with a machete when he’s sleeping. It’s a jungle in there.
arthbard:You sure? Its not as funny as you might think. I’m deadly serious. I’ve got the locations around my house where I can find an accordion mapped out, and the map is posted by the front AND back doors in my house.
Sam, PCB: I’m going to assume Mr Z is your significant other. And that’s sweet, my wife won’t assist me with even one tiny part of my hygeine regimine.
Congratulisations on 250 posts, sir!
DC:Grazi, my friend. I’d congratulate you on your 10,000th post and your 50,000 hit, but my jealousy makes me too horny.
Wow! I thot you were someone I sorta knew, posing as a nut-case, but so far it sorta looks like you are an actual nut-case.
I too am curious about the accordian. Do you think you’ll have to serenade Germans?
SafeT, even if there aren’t many comments on an episode it doesn’t mean there aren’t tons who love it.
Congrats, and don’t you ever dare quit on us. I have a hit squad standing by who will hunt you down and dismantle you, yea though it take them to the ends of the earth.
SafeT, did I say anything about humor? I’m as serious on the apocalypse as anyone, and I damn well don’t want to be the only one left out when this big run on accordians happens.
why an accordian, I think a flute is far more useful in case of nuclear war ~ might be a tich radioactive, but hey, won’t we all be ~ oh, and as for your question on my blog, nah, I don’t believe a word of it! well, actually, I DO believe she tried to make it with him, and I DO believe he declined, lol ~ as to how it really happened…. hmmmmm… I think somebody took poetic license….
On the other hand, if you are the writer, you have that option, soooo, what the heck, eh ~
l>t: As of today you do sortof know me! And while Germans might be involved, they are not specifically planned for. I hope they like my stuff, even though I am sadly sans-Polkas. I do have one Anti-Waltz…
Foot Eater:SiteMeter never lies, my ghoulish friend! And I won’t quit, don’t worry.
Arthbard:MY choice is an accordion. You need to examine your skillsets and decide which of them is compatible with a electricity-and-civilisation-free future. For you, perhaps, a nice tin megaphone?
RH:Perhaps, but it would be far more difficult for me to learn to play a flute than an accordion. If you believe those two statements, then you believe in the essential core of the original story, I’d say. He must have far more self-control than I, or perhaps a depressed libido.
congrats safet!
i’ll add my voice to the chorus singing “keep going”… i’m rather enjoying the regular dose of funny i find here. especially on a mournful monday like today, it’s quite a feat to make me larf, so cheers!
Awww….my Monday has yet to start. I hope I don’t have cause to use the same adjective.
Thanks Shoopska.
Tho’ not snapperheading, I am still perusing favs – of witch you are one.
Kong-rat-you-late-shuns on your odometer click.
Veach! Well bless my shorts! Its good to see you haven’t completely abandoned we fannish subjects.
Didn’t know you were still browsing. Hope I didn’t say anything nasty about you…
