Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood!

Let me tell you a story.

Once there was an innocent, sweet, kind, funny Quirkyloon.

She was blogging one day. And in her usual fashion decided to read some of her favorite blogs. In addition to Google Reader where the sweet Quirkyloon manages the many blogs she follows, she also enjoys going to Humor Bloggers Dot Com. For there on the front page to her utter delight are featured humor blogs that she can so easily and daintily click on and read and comment, if she so desires.

One day as she was reading, she stumbled upon a captioning contest at the Screaming MeMe blog. Ms. Scream is a very funny lady with a great sense of humor. Go read her, you'll be following her in no time.

Unbeknownst to Ms. Scream, Quirky has been vying for a caption award for many moons. And there was a delectable caption contest at Ms. Scream's blog that very day. Oh, Quirky quivered in anticipation.

I must interrupt this sweet story.

Many moons ago, Quirky stumbled upon another funny, hilarious blog called The Dyer Boys. Quirky can't remember how she found them, but she is so glad and delighted that she did. They host superb captioning contests, that give even Da Old Man a run for his captioning contest money. Everyone knows that Da Old Man is the captioning contest King of the blogosphere. I might add, I have tried in vain to win Da Old Man's ever-coveted Zucchini Award at the Old' Man's captioning contest but have not...yet.

I will win one day!

Back to the loverly Dyer Boys. One day when Quirky was bee-bopping around at Humor Bloggers Dot Com, lo and behold! She saw a welcoming message, "Hi we're The Dyer Boys." They are twin brothers with a great shared sense of humor. I guess when they were in the womb, their humor genes were not split, but doubled.

She let out a giggle of delight. She was so glad they had found their way to Humor Bloggers Dot Com. They deserved to be there, they needed to be there.

I urge you and encourage you to read and follow The Dyer Boys blog. They really are funny and hilarious.

Oh, how I digress.

Quirky tends to do that as most people do with such delightful, sweet personalities like Quirky's.

*sigh*

So when Quirky was at the captioning contest at The Screaming MeMe's blog and saw this picture:


The light bulb gently went off in the Quirkyloon's mind as she lovingly thought of The Dyer Boys. Hence, she offered the caption:

"Hi. We're the Dyer Boys."

Oh, she twittered and giggled with delight and knew that others would too.

And apparently they did or at least the lovely Margo at the Screaming MeMe blog did for she bestowed upon Quirkyloon her first ever captioning award!

It is beautiful.


But alas, not all were happy at Quirkyloon's success.

Namely, the Dyer Boys have taken "offense." Do they not know that it was a compliment? That it was a great honor for them?

Apparently not.

For when I visited The Dyer Boys blog to see the results of their captioning contest. (Yes, Quirkyloon is a captioning fool.) I found out to my delight I won! That's two captioning contest awards in one week!

Glee is mine.

But sadness found me as well, for as I read on, I found hostility and yes....even...anger!

The second award goes to...damn I don't even want to say this. You see, this person has recently taken a jab at yours trulies here on another blog and was handsomely rewarded for it. We do not take this lightly and revenge will be ours. But in the meantime, fair is fair and we begrudgingly give this award to Quirky. Take it quickly and NO EYE CONTACT!
The Dyer Boys

I thank them. I love this award, but I do not understand their hostility. (I won't even mention how the second twin looks like, um, a girl? The Dyer Boys are twin boys, so I had always assumed. Who knows how much more trouble I am in now for this observation.)

And look at what Chris from Maugeritaville commented:

I've gotta say, you boys have shown some class by granting our friend the Quirkmeister an award after she so soundly bitch-slapped you guys. Very big of you.

Ay caramba!

Me? Bee-yotch slap? Oh, no! Oh, no!

I'm afraid there has been a terrible misunderstanding. The caption was meant with platonic love and admiration.

Surely you all see this? Isn't it clear as mud?

Oh, Dyer Boys, know ye not that any publicity is good publicity?

They misunderstand me.

And now?

I have no reason to continue blogging.

Until I receive their forgiveness.

I boycott my own blog.

I will not post another post until I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have forgiven me.

This shall be my last post until I receive that forgiveness or until tomorrow, whichever comes first.

So Dyer Boys please forgive a sweet, yummy, and delicious Quirkyloon. She so deserves to be forgiven as surely you can see.

I shall wait patiently.

Because I am good like that.
