Grant is... Facebook

I've written several times about my on-again/off-again relationship with Facebook, but I have to admit that I ended up keeping my account for one reason only: for the awesome privilege of being Grant Miller's friend.

Grant's comedic writing is quite legendary on Blogger, but if you're not on Facebook, you're missing out on some of his best material. Mr. Miller's 'status update', a Twitter-ish feature that asks users "what are you doing right now?" is almost always the single most hilarious sentence I read all day.

I've been stalking compiling Grant's best status updates to share with those of you who are not on facebook, do not own a computer, or cannot be friends with Grant for political, religious, or medical reasons. The following material is intellectual (?) property of Grant Miller Media, and is reproduced here without permission from the author.

God, he's so stupid. All Craigslist personals ARE about him. Sheesh.

Grant is one funny dude. Plus, I just pretty much killed him in Scrabble...which made my, like, life.

Grant will not rest until he conquers every last corner of the internets. Soon, lolcat pictures will be replaced by lolGrant pictures.

Gwen said...

Grant Miller is funny.

steakbellie said...

great twitters, mine are usually about the contents of my stomach or colon. Not that that's weird.

Kat,
When do we learn the winner of the contest? I've got my shit packed up in a red bandanna and I'm all set to hitch-hike North!

I'm not just making this up - I've noticed his comments and they are funny. What I haven't noticed are many comments on my blog from Mr Grant Miller.

katrocket said...

beckeye: He's too modest to believe that could be possible.

red: I've heard he gets off on losing to women at Scrabble. He's a Scrabocist.

wendyb: I couldn't think of anything hilarious on my own, so I stole Grant's stuff.

some guy: I actually think LOLgrant is a great idea. You should pitch it to Grant Miller Media!

gwen: I think our whole circle of bloggers is immensely funny. I'm stalking all of you on Facebook for future post material.

steakbellie: contest winners are coming up soon!

good doctor zibbs: Oh sweetie, don't take it so personally. He doesn't comment much here either. That's why I write posts about him.

Dale said...

He's too busy twittering to write comments, I'm sure of it. I think he only comments on leap years, is this a leap year? Write a post about leap years, everyone!

Wow! I was almost about to add Grant Miller on Facebook before my senses caught up with me!
He'd be pleasantly straight faced with all the other friend ads he gets today... wait... everyone prolly already has him added eh! Darn it, I'll succumb!
