(start a rumor monday...)
faq (that's a "Q" not a "G", silly.)
wowzers. next week marks the one year anniversary of the first (and apparently most popular) "feature" on my blog, and i can't believe it. start a rumor monday... has truly turned this here web log into a monster, not only making my dream of popularity come true (a lesson to all the geeks in high skool: you may never become homecoming queen, but you can blog 'til your ass is internet famous), but also assisting in the creation of my online persona, summer m. (who has the audacity to harrass her unpaid interns, coin herself a blogstar, and refer to herself in the third person.)
though i've yet to win any black weblog awards (whoever was the first to say it was an honor simply to be nominated is full of shit), this rumor bidness has really helped my ego. you all know how to make a homegyrl feel good about herself, esp. when this here grad skool be trying to "work me over" if i may use whitney "sho ya right" houston's words. thus, it is with great sadness that i announce the end of start a rumor monday.
listen, i know that my genius often comes off as effortless to you all, but don't get it twisted: coming up with a rumor can sometimes be harder than getting a date. (actually, that's a lie. i could come up with another year's worth of rumors before i ever got a date, but i digress. the point is the shit is sometimes hard.) don't cry; dry your eyes (here comes your mother with those two little guys). here, at fecundmellow, when we go out, we go out with a bang.
start a rumor monday... is for the people. so, before i end it all, i'ma do two t'ings.
1) i'ma answer some of the questions i've received about this here feature throughout the year. from: "why'd you start doing this?" and "where do you come up with this shit?" to: "do you think this shit is funny?" i'll (finally reply). thus, if there's something you wanna know, just ask. i'll publish my answers later in the week.
2) if my math is correct (i doubt it), i've published 49 rumors since december 6, 2004. i'ma go into the vaults, and publish one entry with links to every rumor published so far. tentatively, i'll republish a (remixed) rumor maybe once a month. a best of, if you will. gotta favorite you wanna see again? lemme know.
that is all.
is sarm really ending? no, silly. it's just a rumor. i'm reloading. hopefully with more "you pick the rumor..." and guest contributors (that means saf, and other folks who seem to have mad ideas about the next rumor i should start.)
coming up: the 12 days of crunkmas will be back in full effect this holiday season.

You bet not stop sarm until ya do dat dere piece on Arsenio. Us-es have bin waitin a long time fo that hot mess to trickle forth from yo virid or vivid i-mag-a-nation. Now quit playin.
quit playin' homie. you know it ain't that hard for you to get a date. and if the selections are mighty dry in the chi, i know you'll be playin' in the hay in the bay. (how's that for a rhyme?). ha!
if i were in chicago...i think we could be homies...cuz u're just that cool...no doubt
I'm glad the demise of the rumors was itself just a rumor. Phew.
@harold: i believe i took care of my arsenio requirement in the saf-n-sum bet 25 strong post. did i not?
@phoenix: have we not discussed my lack of mackeration skills? geez. but your rappin' skills are getting better and better. look at you!!!!
@holla: i'm glad i'm cool enough to be your friend.
@dr. s: huh. the end of sarm may not be over yet, but methinks the end soon come. (maybe. maybe not.)
um- i agree with pheonix.
I mean, it's not like I won't still love you if you stop spreading rumors. Just that they're such a good week-starter. I know that seemingly effortless things are actually the hardest to do, so I appreciate your philanthropic contributions to my happiness thus far. :)
@alii: of course, you do. y'all just don't know. y'all just don't know.
@dr. s: thanx. if i ever stop starting rumors, i hope to have an even better way to begin your week.
okay i can't even front. i started laughing before i read the damn entry and i don't know why. 12 days of "crunkmas" gone be crazy..lolol.
i agree with the others. you cute, funny, got some geekness going on, and most importantly funny...*sigh
yes kili, she's got all the star qualities that one might want in an internet crush. who could ask for anything more? i'm sure the modesty is just an alluring attempt to draw the in the cyber groopies and bring us closer to the greatness that is summer "fecundmellow" mcdonald.
@kil: um...are you laughing at me?
in my spare time, i enjoy long walks on the beach, reading shakespeare aloud, and writing poetry to women i only know via the internet.
@phoenix: *ignoring your comment* did you just refer to me by my government?
i just hope i'm cool enough to be your friend...
i don't know if i'm that cool tho...
oh man you had me there for a minute. I was like nooooooooooooooooooooooo lol.
oops. my bad folk. feel free to deduct points at this moment. (not too many though cuz i had 4true thought that you had said it somewhere else on your blog...can this be my one 'get out of jail free card' or have i used it already?)
oh and i did notice the ignoration. but you ain't slick. i got your ticket.
Can't wait to read the 12 days of crunkmas. BRING IT!!
