When the WordPress Queen Lorelle Van Fossen issues a request, all must obey. Especially if IRL, I too am a three initial, space in the last name, no Van is not my middle name, often without a space and therefore misfiled a lot person. (That probably should all be hyphenated, right?)

If you are a WordPress user, it is imperative that you follow. If you are a Blogspotter or Moveable Typer, please step aside whilst we ruminate about our failures.

She asks today: “What is your most miserable, colossal, gargantuan blog post?” And she was looking RIGHT AT ME when she asked it.
Without a doubt mine is this one.

How did it miss? Paul Potts was all over YouTube.
He was so hot that this year, America’s Got Talent, went out and recruited an imitation! Aside, what’s wrong with America Has Talent? I hate that they used the grammatical gimmick.
Another aside… Sharon Osborne’s Official Site has a really nice picture of her.

Sharon Osbourne.

Caution, Ozzy on autoplay.

Back to Lorelle’s two questions: pick a post you thought would get a good reaction. How could this not generate a great response:

“Plenty of pompous playboys pretend to pamper or pacify P.P. with Parisian perfumes or picturesque poppies, Pan-American peonies, even Puerto Rican pineapple, or Persian petunias ” a pleasant but pensive protegé purred.”

Now that is some hot writing. Who would not be impressed with the picture created by this panapoly of passion? Whoops, sorry.

She paraded her purple pants and patchy patterned peach prêt á portêr pleasingly. Periwinkle pajamas protruded into her pathway just past the pristine persimmon penholder on the pentagon Pennsylvania provincial planked podium.

So the writing was hot.

Lorelle then asks

why you think these are worthwhile posts and why you think they didn’t get the attention they deserved.

Lorelle won’t like the answer, but sometimes even Queens must be told the truth.

Gotta leave it all behind and face the truth. Mam, ooh, I don’t want to die, I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango. …

Here it is Lorelle Queen Anne of WordPress. The reason this blog post was not a smash, propelling me to stardom.

It was to erudite for my readers at the time.

Since that was first posted, I have upgraded my readers. I have helped them discover wonderous. I have educated them on the value of my writing.

Pettiness nor pretence passed placidly. P.P. preferred pointed even playful patter. Pompously she prepared to patronize a pallid piker.

Lorelle, My Queen Anne of Seattle, as the bard wrote, Pour your ick, I new him well. Thank you for letting me explain how it’s not my writing, it’s my readers that have improved.
