ple...not up to your usual standards jared...yawn. <br /><br />please find crazier and/or cuntier old acquaintances who will make allusions to road fellatio that is ultimatly unrealized and who will let you take them to fields in the middle of nowhere, new england. or at least satisfy julia (and me) and make up a better ending for the dull story that results. maybe you could drink her ex-boyfriend's milkshake or something exciting like that. this really didn't go anywhere. no one cares about closed donut shops in boston.

Two of them Jared has posted. The other stories, while they were certainly bad dates, didn't fit the general formula that most of these stories follow. So I was not surprised he didn't use them. Of course he may have thought they were poorly written or just not interesting. What I am curious about is what percentage of stories do get posted.Punchy McToughguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176808888691683433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-49383267115675620802012-09-18T04:29:31.828-04:002012-09-18T04:29:31.828-04:00Again, Julia, why continue to read the blog if thi...Again, Julia, why continue to read the blog if think it's fake? Also, you didn't "ask" anything. You outright accused in a passive aggressive manner. I don't understand how you think that's not insulting just because you didn't do it in an outright manner.<br /><br />And your second comment? More passive aggressive crap. I think if you did make up a story, it would be chalked full of the same kind of crap. That is, if you can get a date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-55769581744119512122012-09-17T10:13:00.922-04:002012-09-17T10:13:00.922-04:00I don't take it personally at all, and to be h...I don't take it personally at all, and to be honest, I can understand why people ask that.<br /><br />If you pick up a major national newspaper, you'll notice that all of the news articles (as opposed to editorials, op-eds) read almost as if they were written by the same person. They weren't, but they each have to conform to the publication's standards of quality. That's how I do it, here.<br /><br />Don't make a story up, Julia. Go on an actual bad date and send it in! Based on my experience, it shouldn't be too hard to find one. I definitely appreciate you reading and being a fan. That, incidentally, goes for everyone.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362998962851574254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-56351829779979385372012-09-17T09:37:40.145-04:002012-09-17T09:37:40.145-04:00Chill out!

I've been reading this blog for a long time, almost since it first began, so I know that regular commenters have had their stories published (what ever happened to Nikki, anyway?). It just seems that recently there have been quite a few stories that seem like they have been made up by the same person. Eg this one, 'Step in Time', 'Alcohol Licks', the lint one, the cookie monster one etc.<br /><br />I didn't mean to be insulting, Jared. And no, I've never submitted a story. But if I ever decide to make one up I'm sure you'll love it, and publish it immediately!<br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376779455956560497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-41842245229518996462012-09-17T02:54:13.849-04:002012-09-17T02:54:13.849-04:00Oh god damn, Julia.

With the amount I receive weekly, and the fact that I actually work a couple of non-bad-date-related jobs, there's no need/time for me to make any up. The only ones that detail my experiences are the one or two per year for which I take credit.<br /><br />I've addressed before how it might appear that the stories are similarly edited, as I edit each story into the same basic rubric, but that's for readability (i.e., to correct grammar, logic issues, and so on). That's done so that readers don't trip over bad grammar, logical impossibilities, and bad spelling. Every story received requires at least something in that department, with no exceptions, to my recollection.<br /><br />There are commenters here (wolfdreams, Nikki, Howie) who've sent in work and been published. I'm not sure if that's a route you've ever tried, but if you sent something in and I didn't put it up, that doesn't mean that I decided to write something myself and put it up that day: it means that I found another, better story, and that you should send something else in.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362998962851574254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-38130390265038291582012-09-15T06:47:43.549-04:002012-09-15T06:47:43.549-04:00So you are not even pretending that you don't ...So you are not even pretending that you don't write most of these yourself any more?Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376779455956560497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-2051149761868537282012-09-14T14:35:01.421-04:002012-09-14T14:35:01.421-04:00Thank you, Bluejae.
