Was that a haiku to doughnuts? I find that genuinely disturbing. But I don't want to make this a negative comment so I will suffice to say 2 things. First, you don't look like a "Survivor" contestant as they turn out very thin. And secondly, as per your suggestion, I prepared myself for disappointment and was glad to see that my preparations were not in vain.

*Note from DouG* James Slusher will no longer be included in my "friends" section with the next update of the site as initially planned.

Oh, that poor Del Sol! You forgot to mention that your new vehicle is a "family car" and has plenty of room for car seats and a stroller! I can write whatever I want in this little box, cause you'll delete it anyway, so..."tonight" was mispelled on one of your car pages. I truly enjoyed remininscing about the Scirroco's journey from boring to fabulous. Did you intend to use a Dalmatian joke? You said there were "101" explanations for what happened to the car...as in "101 Dalmatians." So, if you didn't intend to poke fun at the people who thought the car was painted like a dalmatian, I will do it for you. OK, one more LITTLE complaint...why am I only on the family page and not on the friends page??? What are you saying, exactly? I mean, how cruel is that?

*DouG*  I didnt intend to use '101' as a Dalmatian reference, but perhaps it was a 'Freudian slip' of sorts.  In return, did you mean to misspell "misspelled"???  Besides, I corrected where I misspelled "tonight", but your poor little "mispelled" is at my mercy muhahahah.   Why aren't you on the "friends" page also?  I could have sworn I fielded this topic with the first line of my friends page by saying: "Friends are very important to me also, because unlike family, you actually get to pick and choose your friends." or should I just diplomatically say 'even if Deanna wasn't family, I would still value her greatly as a close friend *hug*.

Also, when are you going to update?? Another thing, I think the Scirocco was a much more admirable car than the Del Sol! Anywho I've updated mine so stop in!

*DouG* Yes, I agree that my site needs an update soon,  I have been keeping myself very busy lately.  As far as linking my site?  I think it's fair to say that most the people that stop by this site are pretty strange (having associations with me), so a few more added into the mix sounds great to me.  I will be certain to stop by your site very soon......or even right now!

Hey Doug, your site is GRRRREAT! (like the cereal). Although it's a little dark. and the text is huge. and not all the same font. and the pictures aren't that great. and then there's the eyes. But really, is this your first site? Not bad, homie. My wife & I had a lot of laughs. Make more pages and keep in touch!

*DouG* Yes, this is my "first site".....are you hinting that I should keep trying?!?!  Haha, I guess I can take some constructive criticisms from a professional web software architect such as yourself (check out his site here......very nicely done *cough*showoff*cough*).  As you can see from my friends page, I had to get another friend named "Nate" to help me fill the empty void in my life from leaving you in Alaska.  Now, since I couldn't keep the premium model that I was accustom to, I had to get the cheap imported Asian model (which we all know aren't structurally built as well and durable as the American versions, and I think they don't work worth a darn), but how else would I explain that "Nate is my bestest bestest friend" tattoo that I gave myself when I was 11.

I think your page is great though I didn't mean to come across it. I was asked who my role model was, and thanks to you, now I know, my role model is Myself. Thank you much. I think you are a brilliant person.

*DouG* So, are you doing a school project for who your role model is?  I ask because most face-to-face inquiries don't allow for google searches prior to response.  If it is, I am curious how well that goes for you (let me know).  One of three things will happen.  Either your teacher will think that you are creative, imaginative, and/or humorous, or he/she will think you are somewhat schizophrenic and push toward maybe getting you a court appointed role model...like Dr. Phil, or the last scenario, your teacher is already familiar with my site, and understands by taking my idea and picking yourself as your role model, then you are, in retrospect,  really not using your own ideas and philosophies, but rather using mine, thus defaulting myself as your role model despite your declaration.   In any case, I am glad that you blindly stumbled across my site, and stop by any time!!!

What's wrong with Dr. Phil? I liked your article about Santa. Mark and I both laughed at that.

*DouG* Glad you enjoyed my tainted humor, but who is Dr. Phil? 

Are you commenting on my lack of structural disambiguation regarding the preposition 'like' in the sentence fragment"...like Dr. Phil"?  Meaning 'like' could be interpreted as Dr. Phil, too, has a court appointed role model? 

Not many families, that I know of, will correct one another's grammatical errors.  When was the last time that your brother/sister identified that you have not directly linked your 'prepositional phrase' to it's 'compliment' thus creating syntactic ambiguity.

I like your site. And that's all I have to say about that right now.

*DouG* Thanks for your input on the site and also the Forrest Gump reference.  It was either

"that's all I have to say about that"

 or you could've gone with another classic quote....

" Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole....(change in scene)...  ..shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp...(change in scene) ....shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it."

....I prefer the prior because I am allergic to shrimp.  My sister offered me a "life time supply" of shrimp once......she also pointed out that it would probably only take about one small package.  I don't think she likes me.

*DouG* You literally laughed your head off?  That's ironic!!  I am glad that you enjoyed it.  Heck, I don't know if even I have been to every page on this site.....it's too much reading for my taste.  I, for one, find myself somewhat boring and predictable....for example, I KNEW I was going to say that for some reason.  Maybe I need a new role model!!!

I resent your country song! Stick with your donut poetry! Deanna

*DouG* Why would  you find my country song offensi.......oh, that whole 'sister in my bed' line I guess.  Ok, for the record,  the line was also SOLELY added to incorporate true country music realism.  As I mentioned before, my bed doubles as a 'second closet', thus leaving only a small sliver of room up against the wall for me to violently maneuver  towards when it's time for me to go to bed.  If you don't accept this rationale as a valid scapegoat, then I would like to revert back to another cliché scapegoat used by many artist.........DON'T CENSOR ME!!!!

I was looking at this "sight" at about 1220 am and I thought I would drop you a line. This is a funny site when your really tired.... email me if you want! something_corporate42@y****.com

*DouG*  So, my site is ONLY entertaining when you are struggling to keep your eyes open in the light night hours?  haha.  I am really glad that you found it amusing in your drowsy state of being.  I really started the website when I was bored one day....and since then, I just add stuff to it once in awhile. It's become a lot more than I ever would have expected.  I love receiving e-mails and feedback that my strange and comedic views on the world have been able to make people laugh.  I am very shy by nature, and don't really show my personality to others, but I have been able to entertained people that I never would have crossed paths with in person.  It truly is one of the coolest things possible.  Thanks!

Thank you for putting donuts on your poetry. Your puzzles are too easy. If you print them out I'll do them in a flash. Get those googly eyes off my keyboard.

*DouG*  Haha.  Yes, my poems truly are a reflection of where my heart is.  I also have a very long and detailed poem dedicated to a blizzard that I thoroughly enjoyed from Dairy Queen.  Life can be stressful, but there is always time to stop and enjoy all the little things that life has to offer.

Um, yeah, could you pass on a few suggestions to the naked chef? 1. Tomato sauce is cheaper than ketchup, unless you are stealing ketchup from McDonalds. If you want to keep it really economical, use a 25 cent can of tomato paste and water that down. 2. I have seen Doug do the bacon and mayo thing, and I am certain that is why he doesn't have a cooking show on cable t.v. 3. Is the cooking naked thing supposed to reflect the poor chef image or is it intended to prevent guests from eating your food?

*DouG*  I will let Fletch answer for himself, but as far as the bacon/mayo thing......ONE TIME I did that.  One time!  My intention was to make a BLT sandwich, but after I started cooking the bacon, I noticed that the lettuce had begun to wilt, the bread wasn't exactly freshly baked out of the oven, and I just plain don't like tomatoes....so I made a snack with the survivors....does that make me a bad person?!?

*Fletch* 1.  Excellent suggestion for saving of money, but the article was also written for the "motivation-to-go-to-the-store impaired" which this advice may not help.

2.  Congratulations, you got the punch line of this joke!!!

3.  I really didn't intend to make this a parody of "The Naked Chef" but I respect your observational skills and your wit.  Like Doug, I am limited to the pictures that I have on my computer or picture-phone.  That particular pic was candid, I used it because that is what I had at hand, and yes I was wearing pants!!!  Also, I would not invite guests over to eat any of those recipes...except for maybe the meat one.

Hello DouG! Fear not, I have been persecuted by my boss's boss for eating butter and parmesan alone. What could I have done? The server did not bring enough bread. Was I to starve to death!?!?! I seem to remember an Ode to Donut in my high school years. Was that the same poem, or just an earlier work? I saw Minnie Driver on the Ellen Degeneres show say that she's made "donut smoothies" before. Pour eight ounces of milk along with one donut. Blend. Chewing not required. Creamy sweet goodness for the lazy. By the way, I was lucky enough in high school to have DouG pass me DouGism notes between classes. Thank you for saving me from insanity during that time!!! I still remember pondering in Chorus class why a driveway isn't called a parkway...

*DouG*  What a pleasant surprise!  There were actually two reasons I started the site:  1) I am an extremely shy person with the social skills of an eggplant, but I also love making people laugh, so.... I had to find a way to share my humor without having to make people decipher my incoherent babble.  2)  I know I personally have done google searches for old friends, but I haven't had too much luck.  Not that there is a long list of people looking, but I wanted people to be able to find me if they really wanted. 

As far as the doughnut poem, you may have seen that one before.  I have written so many through the years, it's hard to keep track of them all.  I didn't share all my doughnut poems with you for personal reasons.  I remember Robb and I use to come visit you at work all the time, and since you HAPPEN to work in the bakery at Giant, I didn't want you thinking I was just there for the pastries.  On that note, sorry about making you work all that overtime restocking all the shelves after I left.

Hi, I came to your site through your Ben and Jerry ice-cream lock post (from a blog, can't remember which and I'm too lazy to look it up) and I decided to read the other posts as well. You're a funny guy and you made me laugh out loud (LOL). Keep up the good work. And, why don't you have a blog? If you do, please tell us about it.

*DouG*  Thanks Percy.  Actually,  I have seen my site popping up everywhere, thanks to the pintlock.  I didn't imagine that anyone was going to take me seriously.  Honestly, I just wanted to send them a funny letter that they can pass around the office and all get a good laugh at.   

No, I don't have a blog, and that it probably a good thing.  Every post would say 'sorry I haven't updated in so long ___________(enter random excuse for being so busy *cough*lazy*cough*)".

A lot of computer people are up tight I'm no exception, but your site gave me a pleasant departure from the mundane. Keep on doing what you're doing --- "I'll be back".

*DouG* I know the feeling.  The internet has giving so many people a worldwide voice, and seemingly most people want to use that platform to give their thoughts on music/movies, trashing others, or posting their opinions as facts....it gets a bit monotonous.  I am very pleased that you found my site amusing, and please come back....I promise I will add more shortly!

Ok, the back medicine on the bottom shelf.. I feel your pain dude.. I went to the Dr. because I was having problems swallowing without pain ~ I spent weeks gulping water, as I felt a constant need to flush out the avocado pitt that seemed to be stuck in my throat. In addition, any time I tried to lie down, I felt like everything that went down in the last 24 hours was going to come right back up. The Dr.'s plan of attack?? Drink this barrium (ok, did someone hear me say that I can't seem to swallow water without excruciating pain??) then, something that looked (and tasted and acted) like poprocks.. now my favorite part; lie down on a hard examination/xray table and lets take some pictures... We can put a man on the moon, but can't find a way to find obstructions in the digestive pathway without creating one??? Anyway... Loved the site... kt

*DouG* LOL.  That is funny, thanks for sharing.  Those sadistic Doctors!  I am actually suppose to do this stand-up comedy thing next month (if I don't chicken out or just plain don't feel like standing up), and I have been working on a little segment devoted to this subject.   Chances are, I will get tongue-tied, wet my pants, and run off the stage and just come home and add my jokes to my website.  We'll see.

In your amusing essay about wanting to be a redneck, is that, in fact, a childhood picture of you? And if so, are you wearing Deanna's sandals? Doug, I don't know you at all, but I must tell you that there should be more people like you in the world. It would be a better place, don't you agree? Thank you for spending your free time to create this website. It is quite enjoyable and I'm going to share it with my brother.

*DouG*  More people in the world like me?  That makes my heart smile, you just made my day!  Thanks.  On a sadder note, yes, that is a childhood picture of me, and yes, those are in fact my sandals.  Actually, there is nothing about that picture that I am proud of.  From the cowboy hat, to the cut-off shorts, the bowl cut hair, the dirty legs, and how many 4 year old kids do you know with a beer belly?!?  Many people bow their head at pictures like this, I post them for the world to see.  If life hands you lemons, learn to juggle.

Hello again! I have in my possession....An ice cream lock that was brought back from Vermont. I didn't get to go...They probably would have had to roll me out of the Ben & Jerry's touring facility. It's a good thing, I really should never be let in their doors, who knows what mayhem might ensue...But back to the lock. Dan and I will treasure it forever and ever. Luckily, Dan sticks to plain old vanilla. I knew there was a reason I married him. No B&J competition. I think I will save it for when we have children. You know high fat ice cream is not good for growing children...I will have to lock it up. Yeah, that's it...

*DouG* Hehe, you should have told me, I would have hooked you up with one.  Ben & Jerry's was kind enough to send me a bunch of them as a gift.  Some people might deem it shallow to marry someone based on their taste in ice cream, but I COMPLETELY agree with you!  You don't know how many times I have almost proposed to the cute girl from Dairy Queen solely to use her for her employee discount.

Hey Doug! This is Amy, Deanna's High School friend. Great site. I guess I have an uneventfull life because I ended up on this site for hours. I have written to hopefully clear up a little misperception on your part though. I see that you have attempted to make fun of my type :) bein a red-neck woman living in cowboy country. You've got the two in the same category... cowboys aren't red-necks though. See, cowboys wear tight Wranglers. Cowboys are hard working, friendly, funny and tougher than tough. My husband strives to be one. Red-necks get their jeans from the second-hand store. They must have holes in them and almost fall off their hips, so as to show off their hairy butt crack when they bend over. The two are almost completely opposite, you know. Mike (hubby) told me I should write to tell you these things. I hope this clears things up a little for you. Glad to be of some help :) Amy

*DouG* Haha, thanks for the clarification.  My sister had a few friends named Amy growing up (I think that they were cheaper in a 'three pack'), but I don't recognize you by that last name (for that I apologize, if I know you). 

Maybe things in Virginia are a bit different than further down south.  There may have been a time when Wranglers were a highly sought after jean, but right now they are quite simply the nicest jeans that Wal-Mart has to offer.  So for the people shopping for clothes at Wal-Mart (predominantly a Redneckish group), but don't want the generic brand, they opt for the 'upper scale' Wranglers.

I guess that goes to show that everyone makes strong generalizations based on a much small group.  I know this for a fact, because I do the same thing (I have a feeling that joke will go unnoticed by many)

I thought you did a great job at Ladies Night at Grace and wanted to follow up on your website. I think you're hilarious. It's a good thing to be able to laugh at yourself. Although, I don't think you have as much to laugh at as you think.

*DouG*  Thanks for the kind words, I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed it!   I am always so nervous about doing things like that, and when I get up there my hands are shaking like crazy. I almost want to bring a can of paint with me on stage and keep it in my hand, and by the end of the night the paint will be thoroughly mixed. I like to find humor in almost any situation, but since there is so much that can be taken the wrong way, I tend to mostly talk about situation or events that involve my own personal life.  I don't want to offend anyone, but I know I am joking, so making fun of myself is fair game!  Thanks again!

I thought it was a fancy tea, and drank a cup. I told the other Realtor how bitter it was, but thought it was "good for me", and she began laughing, "That's potpourri!" Boy, did I feel stupid, AND got a Roto-Rooter cleaning!

*DouG* That is hilarious!! Thanks for sharing!  That would be funny, you accidentally burp, and the room suddenly smells like freshly picked flowers.  This maybe something that you can market (but might I recommend dosage in the form of a pill)!

Nothing special but not so bad. Yours StEricSonic

*DouG* Thanks .  It's funny, because that's exactly how I introduce myself to single ladies.  "Hi, I am DouG.  Nothing special, but not so bad."  You certainly have a profitable career ahead of you creating greeting card slogans.  Best Wishes.

D-- Sometimes when I go camping I buy bottled water, but I'm cheap so I purchase the store brand gallon size for 89 cents a pop. I happened to be taking a drink today and realized that my water has an expiration date stamped on it. Now, being that I base all of my decisions on internet searches AND that since you have a brief blurb about water on your site, you must be an expert, I have a question for you: How can I responsibly dispose of my water once it has expired? I would not want to haphazardly pour it down the drain, or into my back yard thus potentially contaminating our pure rivers, streams and oceans. Until I receive a response from you, I will safely store this befouled water in a lead container at my childcare facility. --F

PS There are no precautions on this bottle directing me what to do if I have accidentally consumed some of this dated water. I assume that this is illegal in the US, yet do not know who to contact for attention. Please help me!

*DouG* Haha, excellent question, my friend.  There is really only one effective way to neutralize this contaminated water using readily available resources.  One of the strongest filters that we have access to for breaking down complex molecules into simple structures via chemical reaction is our immune system.  You could just drink that water, but you also don't want those chemicals to harm your body, so you must use something to help expedite the process of dehydration, like alcohol.  If it were me, I would do somewhat of a role reversal from 'taking shots' of alcohol.  Instead of following that shot of Bacardi 151 with a shot of water, do the opposite.  Consume the whole gallon of water, shot by shot, followed be a gallon of 151 taken in the same intervals.  Will your body accept the expired water?  Maybe....maybe not.....it will be hard to tell when you are passed out on the floor of your living room.  In an effort to help protect all the innocent children in the world, I will even offer my services to help you in the process of cleansing the hazardous material.  Hey, it's for the kids!

I have a friend name Dougy Doug and he wanted to buy dougydoug.com and found out it was taken so we checked out your site. Very nice. I love the Roomba story and the story about the girl who thought Alaska was another country. I hope your various lawsuits work out. Josh parksj1(at)gmail.com

*DouG* It's funny how we end up stumbling across things like this.  I remember many years ago typing in www.Doug.com, and the site was actually quite amusing.  Since then, it's been bought out and used for someone's campaign....not quite worth checking out anymore.  Hopefully you find another URL that he is content with, and pass on the link to me.  I would happy to check it out once he's done.  Looks like dougydoug.net might be an available domain.

Did you move to Alaska when you were really young? I think I may know your sister, Deanna. Did you ever liv ein Washington?

*DouG* Hello there.  Yes, we moved from Washington to Alaska when I was about 5...making her about 9 years old.  That is awesome that you remember Deanna after all these years.  If you want to check out her blog (here) or I can pass an e-mail along to her if you are interested.  Just use my e-mail address on the homepage of my site.

Ok, I just can't leave without saying how much I've enjoyed your site. You've got a great outlook on life. I like how you can just roll with the punches. The funny thing is that I, like a few of the others who have posted feedback, stumbled upon your site by accident. I was searching the definition of "literally". Ironic, isn't it? Thanks for the laughs...I even enjoyed messing with the googly eyes, they're just too darn fast!

*DouG*  Hey Elli.  Thanks for taken the time to post your thoughts up, I personally appreciate that.  In my years, I have learned that the more I attempt to control what happens in my life, the more apt it is to blow up in my face......I learned early not to take life too seriously.  We all have embarrassingly funny things happen to us, might as well learn to embrace them and laugh about it.  Thanks again for stopping by, and I love hearing how people end up here.....it's usually quite amusing.  Take care.

Briliant site Thanks for reminding me of the virtues of bachelor life.

*DouG*  Haha, thanks Phil.  It's amusing to see what topic points bring people to my site.  I find that the bachelor page is a big one for some reason.  I have had people earnestly looking for ways to cope with such, and came across my thoughts on the matter.  Granted, I am no counselor (you aren't a doctor by chance, are you?), but if I can help give someone a reason to laugh, then I feel like I did my part.  The fact is, at any point in ones life there are several reason to mourn and several reasons to rejoice, depending on which way one turns their head.

Hi I am Asif from Bangladesh.  I googled for a paragraph assignment "your role model" and your website came in 2nd page in google.  I really liked your website.  I liked your views of life.  I couldn't finish looking at all the pages.  Sorry for my English.  It's 4.30 a.m. here and I think I should go to sleep now.  Hope to visit your site after I wake up.  (pssst......I copied the paragraph)

*DouG*  Hi Asif.  The internet has really made this world a much smaller place.  I am coming in contact with people that I never would have crossed paths with without it, which is a lot of fun.  I am delighted that I was able to help you with your project, but for your sake I am hoping that you teacher doesn't also have google, as they might stumble across my site as well.  In the future, if you run across an idea that you really like, just reword and rephrase it to make it yours, and you shouldn't have any problems...or, you can also e-mail me for ideas, I am always happy to help.  Oh, and no need to apologize for your English, you did very well.  I cleaned it up a bit, but nothing major.  Let me know how your assignment goes!

*DouG* Dave is still little....comparatively speaking that is.  You just have to put him in the right environment.  Put him in the middle of the Grand Canyon, or on top of Mount Everest and is it quite petit.  Compared to other people....um, well, he likes to eat.  I don't think I am sharing anything that isn't public knowledge here.

I think the site is as creative and hilarious as its creator. I had the pleasure of seeing your stand up comedy act recently and I must say I was not the only one rolling over in the floor laughing. You are and have always been the wittiest person I know. It was great meeting your family and friends. Your sister is awesome!!! As a matter of fact, your whole family is amazing. Thanks for a great time and tons of good laughter. Your devoted friend always, Ang

*DouG* Aww, that's really too kind.  Thanks for your warm words, and friendship that has prevailed through so much.  I am really glad that you were able to come see my do my stand-up act.  Everytime I do it, I think it's quite possibly the last time, and yet I keep finding my oversized feet leading me out on that cold empty stage.  Hopefully I will have clips that that most recent event on my site shortly.  I am glad that you were able to meet my family, and even more grateful that they didn't try to sneak a wedding ring of your finger (they have those tendencies sometimes).

*DouG* Did you just write me a poem or is that paying homage for your love of doughnuts as well?  The last night has me puzzled, unless JD's is a doughnut shop that I have yet to visit (could it be possible that such a place exists?).  I have received all kinds of feedback on my site, but that has got to be the first poem that I have received.  Thanks for bringing a new layer to this page.

DouG- It has been some time since I have been to your page. For months now I have felt like something was missing in my life, but I could not quite figure out what it was...Now it is so clear...DouGyDouG.com was the void I had missing in my life. I will not again make that mistake, I make this pledge to you and all that laugh here...As God as my witness, I shall never go without laughter again...Keep up the great work, and remember you are making a difference in peoples lives...(some for the better and...well you know what I mean)

*DouG* Haha, thanks for returning the joy of laughter.  That means so much more coming from you.  That could also be interpreted as a personal compliment, and if that's how you translate what I am saying, please, by all means, embrace that.  But in actuality, I know how bottlenecked your connection speeds are *cough* 14kbps *cough*, so viewing each page of my site realistically could be a 45 minute investment of your time, so that alone is quite a complement.

i thought i could let everyone know that DouG now works in the office with me and shannon he really isn't as weird as some people think and that makes him one of a kind. keep up the great work pal.

*DouG* Thanks Bobby.  You're right, I haven't updated my job page in quite some time.  It's true, my job isn't to drive a forklift/polelift anymore, and have been working in the office for almost 3 years now.  I really should take some time to revamp that page, but I am not certain how funny I could make it.....without going into details about my co-workers that might be deemed as borderline offensive and easily found via a google search.

Lol.... this site it great.... especially for those of us with ADHD, though not the ones with HD (bastards) ok that was a bad attempt at wit.. i fail... i dig the site... and the wiggly eyes....have a great day doll face.  btw, water and electronics DO NOT MIX!!!!! though a water coolant system looks cool, they leak and may fry your system.... just stating the obvious, bc it is a beautiful computer

*DouG* How could someone going by the name 'Evil Ash' share such kind words?  I do have to admit that you are the first person that has ever called my 'doll face', and that made me smile.  What kind of ugly dolls did you have growing up haha?  Although the thought of having a DouGY DouG doll it's rather amusing to me, I don't think it will be the next highly sought after Christmas buy.  It would however look a bit less creepy next to Barbie in this picture.  As far as the water cooled PC....if a hose did burst, or a seal started leaking, that would just give me a reason to upgrade the PC.  Computer dorks are always searching for a reason to justify the extra expenses of upgrading.  Thanks for stopping by!

*DouG*  Thank you.  I do try to keep my site clean.  I have two little nieces, and don't ever want to post anything that I don't want their little eyes to see.  I have been to Maddox's site, and one thing that he certainly has me beat on, I don't have a fine selection of custom t-shirts that people can order.  That would actually be rather entertaining if I did.  I am not sure if I will, as I would feel dreadful knowing that the only one purchasing the shirts is me.

*DouG*  Thank you?  Sending me mixed signals there, but I will take them.  Might I recommend a method called the good news/bad news/good news sandwich.  It's a method of giving someone negative feedback in a non-threatening sort of way.  Here is an example:

Hey DouG.  I really like your site.  I found myself laughing out loud, mostly at your expense.  It's great that you are able to look at what little you have, making the most of it, and bringing joy to the faces of others.

the simple one liners are the best in the site... i like the 404 error and license plate a lot. ur various moods are awesome

*DouG*  Thank Amit, one liners are my favorite in person, as I can blurt them out and then quickly leave the room full of laughter, and I find that I can get a lot more accomplished with my one liners when I use run-on sentences, much like this one, as I just keep using commas instead of bringing closure to the sentence, and I can just keep typing like this all day, even though I am driving any English teachers who may be reading this insane right about now, but that's ok, I am fine with that,

*DouG*  I bet there is a funny story behind your name.  Care to share?  Basements are the way to go, if you are a guy.  No frills, just the necessities.  Besides, when it's time for spring cleaning, you just put all your clothes on the bed, cover the bed up with a tarp, and take the garden hose to the whole room.  How easy is that?

*DouG*  Thanks Tabatha, and it's good to see you have returned after a year and half to visit.  I really do have a lot more that I could add to the site, but I have been diagnosed with a chronic case of the lazies.  The doctor prescribed me two shots of espresso and told me to call him in the morning, so I did......3:00 a.m. in the morning, as I was still awake.  During that call, he then prescribed something else that I can't repeat on this website, as it was rather rude.  I wish I had better insurance, as the only HMOs that are covered with my plan are Dr. Kevorkian and Dr. Dre.
