Derelict Folds
May I be the first to congratulate and welcome Derelict into the world of blogs that people can actually comment on without being a member of myspace. I especially liked his parting comments on his myspace blog.

Just glad to be a part of the team. (You lazy bastards.)
Seriously, though, the blogspot service is a lot better. Plus, I can access and edit it at work, while my MySpace page was considered "dating" and was filtered.
He wouldn't have needed to 'fold' and succumb to blogspot if his MySpace friends would open up a little. What's the point of MySpace?
I didn't see any Kudos on your MySpace blog, whatever that is.
Main Entry: ku·do
Pronunciation: 'kü-(")dO, 'kyü-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural kudos /-(")dOz/
Etymology: back-formation from kudos (taken as a plural)
1 : AWARD, HONOR [a score of honorary degrees and... other kudos -- Time]
2 : COMPLIMENT, PRAISE [to all three should go some kind of special kudo for refusing to succumb -- Al Hine]
usage Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea.
Yes, I understand the meaning of the word, but what is the point of it on MySpace?
Just to encourage me to join so I can give you the blogging-equivalent of a 10-second handjob?
Since you had 0 kudos, does that mean your MySpace friends don't like you?
Like you can talk. You're the one that loads your blog with hit meters and other ways to rank your site. And, yes, I did get at least one kudo, though I think it was from Blight.
Yes it was from me, and you deserved it man. I liked the thing about what you're thinking when you're walking around campus listening to music on those headphones.
"Yeah you like it baby. Yeah take it like that, oh yeah"
Or something.
