Between the joy of a new hot water heater (read: I got to take a long hot shower this morning) and a frenetic day catching up on everything I didn't do while tethered to the house waiting for the water heater to be installed, I didn't notice we had a hole in the schedule until 9pm Eastern. Quick! Follow me below the dingledoodlesquiggliedKosagnocchidividerthingie fold after a word from our sponsor...
Here at Top Comments we strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it to topcomments at gmail by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
NOTE: Bowing to that newfangled DK4 stuff :-), you also may send nominations to the Top Comments group email. If you don't see a nomination you made to there in the diary, please pipe up - it means we're still trying to remember not to forget to check!
We here at Top Comments know that you, our readership, is perfectly capable of utilizing an Open Thread to the best of its capacity. I hereby declare this an Open Thread and will take this opportunity to fill it with our Traditional Three Tops:
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything
without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From figbash:
Hammer meets nail head on in this comment by John Crapper in beach babe in fl's diary C02 hits 400ppm in Arctic..dangerous milestone in climate change.
From Mets102:
In my diary from today I think this update of an old saying by jennifree2bme is spot on
From TheOrchid:
Kos' diary "The attack of the communist bicycles" today spawned a host of top comments, IMHO, like this one by CitizenX (and progeny), and this one by xxdr zombiexx in response to Clem Yeobright's question (again, and progeny!). But my favorite was this "Paulist bike theory" by anneili. Well played! Keep comments like this rolling out, please. Great framing. You guys are the hub of commentary around these parts. Axle anybody.
