Not really that funny either.

Not entirely a new idea. I've had an automatically created weblog thanks to drunkmenworkhere since last year some time. In fact, I'd forgotten it existed until this post!

My doppelganger has been posting about 20 times as frequently as I actually do. Oh dear.

It was supposed to be funny? I must have clicked "back" before that part.

Interestingly (or not), this looks like less of an obvious joke than this.
Not to beat the crap out of a dead horse, or anything.

that was funny, I liked it... especially appreciated the 'ly' at the end

"Portuguese, dumbass! Portuguese!"

Good for a laugh.

Thanks for the link, gen, btw. I committed the cardinal sin of commenting before I even followed the link, and now realize that that was a parody. Makes it funnier that it's actually already been done by drunkmenworkhere -- in the same spirit of poking fun, of course.

Isn't the W series Bush clone running a variant of this program?

Do you really think most of the halfwit 'celebrities' who contribute to my blog even know how to write a complete sentence? So really, it's not like anyone noticed when I switched to AutoBlogger anyway.

Huffington cut some Republican panelists a few new ones at a recent CUNY panel on "Personal Democracy"...

But, I'm only an autotrout.

For some reason, my drunkmen blog, wrote that this is how I was feeling at the start of last week:

"Now I know why Gimli was not very reluctant with me. I'm wasting time by quarrelling over stupid things. If I understand this I should be able to be as lucky as those other people are.
Beyond the invisible mirror, I see myself. My well has been drying up for a while now and I want it to stop. It should have been said in a better way but Gimli took it the wrong way.
I said I was sorry and that I try to move on but I just can't really. Lately Gimli asked me if there was something wrong with me but I was a bit low.
I was not polite yesterday. I can no longer hang onto these things of a life so it won't change the way I feel.
We realized we didn't really know what to do.
I know I feel crappy as I write this.
It's time for me to stop making a fuss out of everything and give up the past.
Oh well, my life might as well be over."

That's just disturbing.
