They are not my “disciples” (as Pudding suggested), just people who like what I happen to have written.
Two more people decided to become followers this week:
Helsie, who makes her home in Brisbane, Queensland Australia; and عبده الضحوي (Abdo Aldhoi), a طالب جامعي (college student) who hails from الحديده المراوعة (Hodeidah Alemrauap).
I know where Australia is, but I had to investigate further to learn that Hodeidah Alemrauap, which is also known as Al Hudaydah, is the fourth largest city in the country of Yemen. Hodeidah/Hudaydah is located on the southeastern coast of the Red Sea, just across the water from the countries of Eritrea and Djibouti. Here is a map of Yemen and its neighbors:
I know that people from Yemen have passed through here before because Yemen’s flag is in my treasure-trove of little gif and jpg files that I copied from that Feedjit thingy over in the sidebar, but Mr. Abdo Aldhoi is our first registered guest from there.
Yemen’s flag looks like this:
Australia’s flag (I didn't forget you, Helsie) looks like this:
Any vexillological disparity you might perceive is not my fault; I merely used what I found.
People have to come to blogs like mine to find the phrase “vexillological disparity.”
Yorkshire Pudding, eat your heart out.
My dearest Robert,
ReplyDeleteI am not "above all that" as you suggest. It's just that I have never paid any attention to the followers facility or ever signed up to be a follower. And I will not eat my heart out! I shall eat your heart out instead - lightly broiled with some caramelised onions and a little guacamole on the side. A glass of cool vermouth to wash it down.
Best wishes,
Lord Pudding

Ignore him Robert, I am like you and like to see who stops by to read my blog and lots of people do without commenting.... and yes I pick up a few new things like “vexillological disparity”. Whether I ever remember them or find a use for them ever again is beside the point. No knowledge is ever a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteCheers
we as bloggers are all people pleasers, we thrive on the attention of our blog friends or fiends,.,.,i miss the attentionto be blunt, but i am not willing to write write write like i used to do, havwe been reading of benjamin franklin who whould have made a great blogger<><>funny, witty, and a people lover<>he wrote poor richard's almanac which is like a lot of our posts<><>filled with unwanted advice and information but the people of his day sought him out just like people of this day search you my friend out<><>we can't ignore you bob, you don't seem to let us ignore you<>interestinly just like we have psudonymes, he also wrote under different names, as did marktwain also>><>they botth wouyld have loved our day<><><>even my cousin louie loves this day of computers
ReplyDeleteI also have a little map on my blog and can’t believe that people from such faraway places have come to read my post or looked at my pictures – and then family don’t bother to even take a look! I often see a red mark from the upper part of Canada and another from Mongolia – isn’t the blog world a marvel? I looked at your profile and saw you live pretty close to me – I live near Kennesaw Mountain – that is also very interesting.
ReplyDeleteand yp how do i affiliate with boefrt >< whoops bob sorry to offend
ReplyDeleteFAMOUS Mr PUTZ - You affiliate with the BOEFRT by mailing me a personal cheque for $100. Mr Brague is welcome to make an identical contribution. After all, the alternative is Baseball Mitt Romney. Not a happy prospect. I wouldn't even deign to eat his heart out.
