When will people stop elbowing me about the thing everyone is looking at that I haven't blogged?

I've seen it. I saw it when I wasn't at my computer and in blogging mode, and by the time I was in that position again, the thing had been pointed out so many times that it was too late for me to have any feeling that I was showing it to you, and I wasn't going to put it up as a monument to the proposition that I have already seen it, and it wasn't the kind of thing where there should be a post where you could talk about it, because the only thing to say was ha, ha, I'm seeing that, which was only ever worth saying right at the beginning, and I missed that moment, so could we please just move on?

I have no idea what this thing is.

David Begley ayon kay ...

Maybe Meade can comment here. That is if he is still around.

Madison Mike ayon kay ...

Diagram that sentence.

Shane ayon kay ...

I'm with Henry.
Not "everyone" apparently is looking at whatever you are on about.

Mike Sylwester ayon kay ...

While this discussion is going on, I'll go look for some song lyrics.

Humperdink ayon kay ...

I generally have an opinion on everything. In this case, I am without a clue.

Henry ayon kay ...

This is kind of like a black hole Cafe post: Please pipe down about the thing not blogged about. All the light is sucked out of the topic but commenters will create their own blackbody energy until the topic evaporates.

I do think an interesting question, based on the Soon Yi Previn post, is this: is there any artist, politician, celebrity, scientist whose has privately kept private for a long time whose story would be worth hearing now?

Chuck, stop emailing the hostess!

Meade ayon kay ...

"Maybe Meade can comment here. That is if he is still around."

Oh I'm around alright. But I'm keeping my elbows to myself. That's for sure.

Why have I been excluded from camp Everyone?

Bay Area Guy ayon kay ...

I, for one, do think we should move on from it. It has become quite distracting. Our wonderful blogging hostess should no longer be vexed tormented by it.

The only problem is that nobody know whst it is.

David Begley ayon kay ...

I’m dropping the “Meade is dead” joke. Stake even to me.

Katz was on the WI L. Rev. Did new prof Ann Althouse know this woman?

Phil 314 ayon kay ...

Did anyone hear that tree fall?

Paco Wové ayon kay ...

Is it this latest Kavanaugh conspiracy theory? I wouldn't want to commit some blog-gaffe by falling into the hole we're supposed to be dancing around.

Left Bank of the Charles ayon kay ...

True, it wasn’t that big a ha ha.

The Crack Emcee ayon kay ...

Everybody, who is "somebody", is talking about Crowdfunding being the fuel for cancer quackery, but that can't be what you mean.

What do you mean?

MayBee ayon kay ...

Is this about Sarah Sanders's pecan pie again?

Ralph L ayon kay ...

put it up as a monument to the proposition
Conceived, conceived as we all was, and dedicated to the proposition that allll men, I tell you baby, ALll men, are created Equal.

robother ayon kay ...

The death of God?

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

"Diagram that sentence."

LOL

I was going to say that.

Possibly my longest sentence ever.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

How can you move on from something that you don't even know what it is?

It's like a Zen koan.

What is the sound of one elbow prodding?

Meade ayon kay ...

When did I stop elbowing my wife?

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

OK. I percieve that some other commenters cannot resist the urge to e-mail the Professor with hot tips. Frankly, that would take someting away from the experience if I could control her thoughts. I like them just the way they are. Surprise me with outre-ages.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

"When did I stop elbowing my wife?"

I remember the last time. It was like this.

Darrell ayon kay ...

OK. I'll stop suggesting that you interview Gwyneth Paltrow's hoo-hoo.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

"Surprise me with outre-ages."

Ok. Outré!

Ignorance is Bliss ayon kay ...

Fine, just ignore the new world record finish of the Berlin Marathon. 2:01:39.

Mr. Groovington ayon kay ...

"You know what's kept me goin' all these years? The thought that one day... never mind... silly. Just the thought that maybe one day, I'd -- I could have a woman's arms wrapped around me... and her legs wrapped around me.... That I could wake up in the morning and she'd still be there. Smell of her. All funky and warm. I finally gave up on it."

Loser, argh.

My name goes here. ayon kay ...

I thought that nobody should elbow anyone else unless they want to be elbowed.

Like not even if it has been a long time since they elbowed anyone and they would really like elbow someone. Unless the other person also wants the elbow then they should not be elbowed. Everyone needs to want to elbow or nobody is elbowing.

I am not Laslo.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

Kavanaugh's mom foreclosed on the victim's mom?

Strange coincidence.

Also, WaPo sat on the story since July.

My name goes here. ayon kay ...

Elbows Elbows elbows Elbows Elbows elbows Elbows.

The above is a complete sentence, assuming the Elbows Elbows is the name of a man, and he hit his namesakes dog named elbow with his elbow.

Do I win the buffalo prize?

This is the problem only reading this blog monday through friday.

Now I have to work in smelly cat references.

My name goes here. ayon kay ...

Maybe Kavanaugh smelled a cat.

I am not Laslo.

Carter Wood ayon kay ...

But, but, but ... Eiertanz!

Song lyrics by Marty Robbins (1925 - 1982)
-----

Never Tie Me Down

Give me lots of elbow room.
Never tie me down.

Let me see the mountains
Over yonder.

Let me ride and roam,
And let me wander.

Let me see the rivers.
Let me see the waterfalls.

Let me ride until I've seen
The beauty of it all.

Let me sleep out in the cold
Upon the dampened ground.

Never tie me down.

I don’t come here to get your take on what everyone else is talking about. I come here to find out what YOU want to talk about.
