wolfe’s Growling Musings

A silly Sunday post.

Oh my! One member of the extensive and gigantic audience of this blog has won the Top Secret Totally Unannounced Contest going on since Day 1 of this blog. (Real-life friends who’ve long known me don’t qualify… but even they only got 2/5 to 4/5).

She correctly guessed one of the five reasons why my nom de plume is wolfe. And she had sufficient confidence in her guess to phrase it in a manner most readily decoded only if her answer was correct.

And she described it as a joke. And she’s right, though mildly wrong about the name itself being a joke. But certainly that reason has a joking element to it. A bit of a joke on ‘mabtw’.
As her prize, she wins the other four reasons, and, possibly, an exciting future yet-to-be-determined prize of zero cash value! And if you can guess one of the other four reasons… perhaps you too can win… something like a free two-year subscription to this blog! I’ve faith that she shan’t reveal the reasons, and she’s welcome to interject fake guesses that are wrong to conceal her identity as the winner… if she chooses. Or she can announce it and bask in the glory of being the first to discover Teh Secr3t K0nt35t!

Hey it’s a silly sunday. Thai Chicken with potatoes in coconut milk (homemade… well the end result, not the chicken or potatoes), awesome baguette, great Camembert, St-Albert Cheddar (best in North America!), and a very nice Aussie Merlot.
So why “wolfe”? Google, alas, will be of little help here.

Cheers,

is the subject I’ll be discussing. Briefly, I’m going to be changing my rules. Posts shall be (and have been) deleted when they grossly violate the rules, even if they’re from long-standing members.

Posts that disrupt the viewing of the site will be deleted or edited (I was dumb in thinking long-time posters wouldn’t engage in this form of disruption).

Posts that so grossly violate ‘living room language’ as to cause one’s jaw and pecker to drop shall be deleted.

People that bring arguments from places other than here are not welcome to do so.
Ladies and Gents, I welcome your views.

I intend to welcome people who may have made disgusting and unacceptable statements over on MABTW. Believe me, they shall get short shrift for that kind of behavior here.

What are your views? I’m going to redraft my ruleset for posting, but I’ll be guided by all of you. Speak freely, though none shall gainsay boobie-postings.

If there’s some feedback you wish to give, or something more personal you wish to say, the best way to reach me is to email wolfeblog at the domain of hotmail dot com. (Hope that’s clear enough and will still foil spambots).

If you want to remain pseudonymous/anonymous, get an account on yahoo, hotmail or gmail. In general, I specifically recommend people never use their work emails to comment on matters of controversy … anywhere.

UPDATE I - 23 Sept: More emails than I expected, including some from people I didn’t know were even reading the blog. That’s very nice to see, and I’ll be responding to each one individually over the weekend (except the woman who thought it worth wasting both her time and mine to simply tell me “ur blog sux”. I don’t mind criticism — indeed I welcome it — but it should be constructive. And literate.)

Trying to find something I like more than the initial one I chose. This one has a couple of negative features, the post button is now marked “abschicken”, German for “post”. It also is lacking the posting html help I mentioned to Female today.

Comment if you like this one better (or the previous one) by all means. I think I prefer this one, though I’m not sure I like “abschicken” floating about.

I did see there was a theme called “Girls Suck” and was half-tempted to try it (is there any other theme more appropriate for a blog on the mabtw network?) but it really wasn’t my style. Nor is the blog that founded it.
