This sign adorns a bar near Pleasant Grove, Utah:

Hey everyone, we know you’ve heard this before, but … we’re coming back! It’s been too long since we’ve posted here, but we have some good stuff built up in the email reservoir, so we’ll start updating again soon.

One bit of a change you may have noticed, though: the site is officially at wemadeout.com now. The old domain, wemadeoutinatreeandthisoldguysatandwatchedus.com, will now redirect to this page. The name of the site hasn’t really changed, we’ve just changed the domain name. For that matter, wemadeout.com has redirected to the longer URL for a couple years, so all we really did is reverse things to help people remember the URL a little better.

Look for new content in the next couple days!

From the contributor: “If all we can flush is the paper, things could get ugly.”

The following is a collection of tidbits from emails sent to the contributor as part of a dispute over a laptop sold on eBay:

I will let you suspend with your credit. Because you sell the bad laptop to us. If no response in 3 days, I will let my uncle to help me to solve the problem. I tall you , I don’t care about how much money you ship it out. And at that time, I don’t think I will only got $120 refund for the adapter. I really don’t want to see you, as you know that I am a chinese, that I know lots way to protect myself.

Just ship it asap as my previous mail. Or you will know what will happened.

hope you remove the negative feedback for your and mine. And end until here, if you still want to play with me, I am glad to do that.

I just posted the first entry here on the site in almost exactly nine months, which is, coincidentally, the gestation period of the human being. No, really, it’s a coincidence. Yes, my wife DID give birth during this nine-month hiatus, but that had nothing to do with the lack of new content here lately. That was purely the result of my own laziness or busyness or, more likely, a combination of the two.

So anyway, this is my semi-annual commitment to do better, to bring you content on a more regular basis, and all that stuff. Call it my mid-June resolution, if you will.

Keep those submissions coming, and you may find yourself on the most popular website in all of the Interland! (Although I can’t imagine that the two would be related.)

Hugs and kisses,
Jeff J. Snider

This was a comment posted here on this site in response to this post. It was too precious for me to just let it sit unnoticed in the comments. Note that the author, someone named Britt, uses 246 words (actually 250, but four of them should have only been one word) and misspells 34 of them, by my count. That’s a 13.8% failure rate! Enjoy:

Listen Loser You dont know any thing about Cows if you think there nothing but cute and gentle. People like you should be shot Ive raised cows all my life and they are far from gentle so why dont you educate your self befor you speek cows are wild animals that will ram you in a heart beat if they dont like you.

When the contributor was student teaching, she ended up having lunch with a first-grader who was kept in the classroom during lunch for disciplinary reasons. The two had the following conversation:

Student: Did you make your own lunch?

Teacher: Yes.

Student: Is your mommy dead?
