If you'd rather it be different, make a thread just like this one and update it weekly.
Hi-dilly-ho, neighborino! Ah, that would be plagiarizing that idea so the answer to that is a 'no.'

I just give a basic idea/name-check normally, so I'm not sure what you're so upset or disappointed about. It's not as if I completely ignored everyone's journals and just ran a comedy article. And I ran all the usual sections too. Also, I've had a very sad and testing time, leading to my absence from here for a while. I wanted something to make me laugh, as well as everyone else. In general it looks like it worked, so I won't be apologizing because a few people didn't enjoy it.

And I'll be doing it again this week.
Believe me, I understand that even before you said it, and again I sympathize with you in your situation.

The very instant I saw it was Ned Flanders and it wasn't C Montgomery Burns is the very moment I became disappointed. I just saw it as you Flandering a perfectly good opportunity to be another Simpsons character, that's all. I really don't know if Ned Flanders is your forte. But the masses love it, with the exception of Violet and me of course. So carry on, Okily Dokily?

It's not an argument per se but more of a clarification of one's opinion which is seemingly being misrepresented on a constant and regular basis.
