Public service announcement. If you don't check the FAQ before adding your entry you'll just make yourself look even more stupid in front of us all - this is your only warning.

Another public service announcement. I do not censor guestbook comments. However, I do remove spam advertising, probably because I'm a godless, pinko, gay-enabling liberal or something. Spammers have been writing special scripts to splatter this guestbook with their tiresome cant: the small test below aims to stop this by determining whether you're a human being or not (something you may have been wondering about anyway). Think of it like those dogs that sniff incoming hands to spot terminators.

Unimpress-o-Matic Anti-Spam Bit
Mil says...Read the following passage and use your skill and judgment to answer the question.
   /		 As Mil braves 9 (or was it 32? Yes) sandwiches, he thinks about the way Margret spins in a bout of bruise-raising skill and the way trifling matters ("You complimented my toothbrush? You asked for it, fatty") can elevate an unexceptional disagreement on the subject of a shower curtain into a slight war. It had felt an ordinary Monday as well; Margret and Mil stride to the shops at no more than 4: same old thing. But -- kerbap! -- an embarrassed right clavicle. Pfff. Still, at least he has 23 apples in the bag, also a feigned loftiness.

Where did this take place?

Comments Mil, love the page. Been a devoted follower (and lister) since around 2002-ish. Always a happy day when I check my inbox (or more likely, my spam box, for some reason) to see a new mail. Doesn't happen much anymore, sadly. I did read the FAQs, and I must say, you give the Louisiana school system far too much credit. Anyway, I was visitor 6,743,806. That is not, you will notice, 7 million, but it does have a 7 in it, so that's...well, not much, really, but I thought it was special. So yeah, just wanted to say thanks for over a decade of laughs. I was in my twenties when I first discovered this page, and I turned 40 yesterday, so that says...well, again, not much really. Cheers.

Comments I think I might be married to your girlfriend. I know her by a different name, but I'm sure it's the same woman. For instance, last week we were at the supermarket, and apparently our daughter had asked for ice-cream with 'swirly bits' in it.

I picked up some nice chocolate ice-cream (with swirled-in chocolate sauce) and held it up to my wife, who shook her head, no. I put it back.

Later, the following conversation ensued:

'Did you buy that ice-cream I shook my head at?'
'Um, no...?'
'Why not?'
'...Because you shook your head at it?'

I also employ the strategy of buying things I maybe shouldn't and then leaving them half-buried amongst other legitimate things. They're not *hidden* exactly. But they're not sitting proudly on the kitchen bench in a magnificent shiny box, either.

In this manner they accumulate psychic 'thereness' over a period of weeks, before my wife finally pulls them out and says 'Where did *this* come from?' "oh, I've had that for ages,' I say, and the thin layer of dust obliges my lie. I'm pretty sure nothing can possibly go wrong.

Comments Now obviously I'm not here to compliment your wit, or your well planned humor, or your strange stories on the internet. I'm here to ask something of you. Let's be honest we all knew it was coming. I'm using your book ... for a speech piece, basically I perform the entire book in ten minutes while still looking somewhat sane. Unfortunately it's usually a custom that you ask the author's permission to perform the book. So here I am asking for permission. Apparently you are also working on a screen play... now this back cover could be lying or it could take about ten years to write a screen play. Actually, let's be honest it takes about twenty years. No pressure. Anyways, if you're still alive it would be most considerate of you to reply to this entry. No, honestly, please, I'm kind of hoping to kick some butt on this performance and your approval would be most helpful so that I don't get disqualified at states. But, you're busy, don't worry about it.

Comments Laughing and crying at the same time. Your relationship with Margret sounds like my relationship in reverse (I am female). Last night he accused me of setting his phone to receive emergency alerts (we are in the U.S. and he had received an "Amber Alert," which is a child abduction alert). I told him I had not. Why would I do that? He said that I must have, because he did not do it. I told him I did not like being accused of doing something I had not, he said he had not accused me of anything, and he walked out.

I found out this morning that our government has implemented a new wireless emergency services system, and when I showed him the webpage and told him that he should not have accused me of messing with his phone, we got into an argument over the definition of "accusation." He even sent me a screen shot from the online dictionary and said that since I had not done anything illegal, he had not accused me of anything.

God help me, and you too, apparently.

anyway, i googled david thorne and that's how i found you - your name is linked to his on wikipedia, and i should very much like to join your mailing list.

Comments I haven't laughed so hard in awhile! Reading your anecdotes is like hearing about my parents' day-to-day activities but as acted out by strangers. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and in need to go home and argue with the boyfriend (to show how much I care, you know).

All the best to you and yours!

Is the happiness of togetherness worth the misery of being forced to do things which you would not do if you were single?

Comments Instead of drifting off to sleep once I was done my homework for the night, I somehow happened across your page. I can't recall just how, as my brain is exhausted from the non-stop chuckling it has been subjected to. Thanks for that. The loss of sleep and the sore cheek muscles... As soon as I have enough money, I plan to buy your books and use them to slap sense into stupid people (aka your "idiots"). "Why?" you might ask. Well, because nobody has yet invented my big, red, Staples-esque "Smack-an-idiot-upside-the-head" mergency button. :D
On a more not-so-serious note, thank you for the amazingly entertaining and hilarious read. Also, thanks to Margret for being a rare breed who seems to enjoy an argument instead of merely stating "Get out..." at the slightest sign of a disagreement. Who needs an ostrich for a girlfriend, eh? :P

I appreciated the invitation to purchase six of your four novels on e-book. This offer arrived the same day as an offer to purchase 15 titles by Roald Dahl for £15.99.

Comments Sad or not one of my (RL) friends posted a link to your page on facebook.

If getting a cell phone trashes your rights, actively participating in fb certainly qualifies for a place in a death march.

anyway, love the comments and plan to look for your books.

you have a great way of capturing the insanity of relationships that entertains and rings true (yes, I am married for 22+ years and while it may be an American thing, it keeps the paperwork and tax filings tidier).

do you ever think the world would be a different place if more folks heard the love in your voice?

Comments You know, you're hilarious.

I dated a woman like that for a while, a few months. Thinking, nah, can't keep it up, surely she'll give up when she realizes that she can't control me or hurt me.

Nope. Turns out her dad was psycho verbally abusive and her mom was manipulative and a liar, she got the best of both. It did not improve with time.

Long story short, this is the mostly accurate dialogue of our breakup.
(I didn't record it or anything, but had to recount it to so many people that day that it's an almost word for word memory, it caused that many delays, and one hospital trip.)

Me: "Alright, well, I'm heading home now, it's time for dinner. See you."
Her: "You always leave when things get tough."
(Note, we had been quietly listening to music together for the previous 30 minutes, making jokes, and laughing.)
Me: "What? I'm going to make dinner, ciao for now." *goes and puts shoes on*
Her: "You don't want to see me, FINE."
(Note: I'd been there for 6 hours.)
Me: "... It's not that, I've been here for hours and now it's time for me to go home, I told you this when I got here. Anyways, goodnight." *Opens door and heads out.*
Her: "You're just trying to have the last word! You always start fights right before you go!"
Me: "... Got to be kidding me... We'll talk after dinner, I've made a promise."
Her: "What happened to that watch I gave you?"
Me: "What? It broke when we were hiking, you were there and laughed because I fell on it, remember? Anyways..."
Her: "F*** you! You probably pawned it you piece of S***!"
Me: "No, and this is off-topic and delaying me, I promised I'd be there. Like I do for you too, I keep my promises, bye."
*I head out the door*

At this point. I s*** you not, she goes into her kitchen and comes out, then THROWS A TOASTER AT ME.

After I stop swearing and get back up on my feet, I told her in not so politically correct terms "F*** I'm bleeding. We're over, completely, have a good life. Oh, and F*** you very much for the toaster! (I take it with me.)
*mumbling* F***ing B****.
Her: "Yeah!? Well I was gonna break up with you ANYWAYS!!"

Hence the rest of my day being held up while my eyebrow was stitched up.

Comments Mil, I was talking to some online friends of mine tonight and your name got brought up (in regards to how much one of the individuals resembles you, even though he denies it, but he certainly does) and I was compelled (ok, I was told) that I should leave a message on your guestbook. I'm not sure what else to say, except that your last mailing was much too short, and seems so long ago. Oh Mil, we miss you, won't you please write some more funny thing about your girlfriend and/or children and/or favorite foods and/or poor television commentary. I've seriously run out of ancedotes to read and now I am forced to do actual work whilst at work. You see the dilemma I am in, of course. It has been 7 months now, and I'm actually being rather productive. I hate it!

My best to you, Margret and the rest of the family. Hope everyone is well.

Comments I now feel your pain. I've been dating a girl from Ukraine for just over a year; I'm Canadian. We've had clashes over just about everything! It certainly keeps the relationship from stagnating.

Anyways, I read your first book years ago, lost it, and recently picked it up again. Fascinating stuff. Your following two are also great reads. I'm trying to find your fourth book, but it's not stocked in our local book store chain, probably because you're British. My dad's British. I know how you people operate. So I may be forced to order it off Amazon.

Keep writing. It inspires me to write, even if I barely have time anymore because of crazy Eastern block girlfriends, school life, and other nonsense. Also, I've been waiting for another mail for awhile. What on earth are you doing nowadays?

- Brandon

Comments Your website currently states:
"So far
5,802,067
people have visited this site. Generally on their employer's time."

I feel that this is historically and statistically inaccurate. Allow me to explain.

I stumbled upon (well before StumbleUpon) this web page many, many years ago. This may or may not have been in 1995 or 1996 or 1997. It may or may not have been sooner. I remember reading it multiple times, in a time when dynamically assigned IPs actually changed. That's a mute point. My point is that, after quoting something I remember to this day as one of the classiest put-downs ever heard by my third ear (brain is a deep well of thought, fed by waters distinctly her own) to a classy-put-downs thread on Reddit, I ventured to find this page once again. I feared that this site had been lost to the annals of archive.org when searching the exact quote above revealed nothing. Alas, as I was typing "things my g...", Google, in its presumptuous tone, suggested the title in its entirety, and I began to hope again. Well, here I am, again, and I fear I may have been counted twice.
