Comments on the past

Regularly I get comments on the past entries of this weblog. People must find the posts via a search engine and think somehow I'm watching every single post for comments daily. An understanding of how weblogs and comments work is not pervasive.

Here are the kind of comments I get on my post about Burger King Tacos:

IM OVER THE ROAD TRUCK DRIVER. I WAS IN FLORIDA A FEW MONTHS AGO AND DECIDED TO STOP AT BURGER KING AND TRY THE NEW TACOS I HAD HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT.I GOT TWO TACOS AND WENT BACK OUT TO MY TRUCK TO EAT.TIME I GOT TO THE TRUCK THE STORE WAS CLOSED. I SAT IN THE SLEEPER AND OPENED THE TACOS AND TO MY SUPRISE THE TACOS LOOKED NASTY THEY HAD TAKEN A HAMBURGER PATTY CUT IT IN HALF AND PLACED IT INTO THE SHELL WITH CHEESE LETTUCE AND SOME KIND OF SAUSE PUT INTO A MICROWAVE AND HEATED IT UP. I ATE BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AND THEY HAD ALREADY CLOSED. BIG MISTAKE I GOT SO SICK AND STILL GET A SICK FEELING EVERTIME I PASS A BURGER KING. I AM SO GLAD THEY STOPPED SELLING THEM BUT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BRING MYSELF TO EVEN TURN AROUND IN A BURGER KING PARKING LOT LET ALONE GO IN AND EAT.

I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA. WHY DID YOU STOP SELLING THE TACOS?????? FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF NO MORE JACK IN THE BOX FOUND TACOS THAT ARE VERY MUCH LIKE THEIRS AND I JUST LOVE THEM AND SO DOES MY DAUGHTER. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK; GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO MCDONALDS BECAUSE THE TACOS ARE WHY I WENT TO BURGER KING

Ted had a bad experience and Linda thinks I am Burger King. There's not much I can do to help these people.

Sometimes I do get comments that need a reply. Take a look at some of the comments in the post about Red Licorice Soda:

Not only does Jeffery come to realize that I am not selling soda, but attempts to share his knowledge with me. I can appreciate that. Here's what I wrote back to Jeffrey:

Jeffery,
Thank you for your idea for black licorice soda. The next time I get to the store, I'm going to pick up some Pepsi Blue and Orange Soda and make Black Licorice Soda.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you,

-Michael
