As you probably expect, I hear a LOT of complaints about this blog. I feel like it's incredibly disproportionate to the readership ... (what other blog can claim 17 readers and 374 complaint letters?)
Here's a list of my favorite quotes from complaint letters directed to me:
1) "I just don't understand why you wear your slacks so tight. "
2) "No one cares that you met Anthony Daniels."
3) "I didn't appreciate you setting my house on fire."
4) "Please cease and desist all attempts to contact Ms. Rowling."
5) "We here at Human Resources are tolerant of your religious beliefs, but if you insist on wearing tanktops to work, please groom appropriately."

wow, did you really meet Anthony Daniels? I heard he is really nice to fans, even if they are wearing tight slack, a tank top and doing the robot.

Uh-oh, you're not a Harry Potter fanatic ... ARE YOU? Not that there's anything wrong with that! In fact, I have a box with Anthony Daniel's head -- I mean, 3PO's -- on top of my bookshelf!

Only 374? Clearly your spam filter is on the fritz, I coulda swore I sent at least 500 messages.
Though, I guess technically they weren't about the blog so much as complaining about how your receptionist is always saying you're "busy" or "in a meeting" or "have better things to do" or, "Please, for the love of all that is kind and holy stop calling!" whenever I phone the UPS offices.
It's like, c'mon, "Inglorious Basses", the comic about about four fish's fight against their nautical overlords, is gonna be a hit and you know it. ;)

T -- I barely remember when that photo was taken. I was all hopped up on Werther's Originals and Royal Crown Cola.
