Wednesday Image – Common Sense
Do you sometimes get the feeling that other people just don’t get it?
You know, that maybe the other people around you have been huffing paint for the past 10 years?
I get that feeling a lot. Consequently, I almost titled this post “Why my Wednesdays are Never Called Wordless.”
I know it’s the big thing around the blogosphere, post an image on Wednesday, and call it Wordless Wednesday. And a few people actually do this. However, I see many more people use wordless in a post title and then run their proverbial mouth for several paragraphs… Awfully wordy their, aren’t ya kid?
I always like to write, ramble, and pontificate in run-on sentences. I also have the common sense to never call that kind of blather wordless.
If any of this pisses you off, do what I do. Just call the damn post: “Wednesday Image – insert description or witty remark” and call it a day. This will get you back on the Common Sense ™ path to enlightenment.
Also, if the majority of your Wednesdays are wordless, but you occasionally break the mold, I have nor problem with that. My great bat of internet satire is only directed at people who consistently post long discussions under the wordless heading.
Love it!!!!

Thank you!
LMAO! As a relative newbie in Entrecard (just about to mark my 1st month next week) I did notice a lot of not-so-wordless Wednesdays out there too. Thanks for confirming that it’s not just me who wonders if they understand what “wordless” means

I’m also glad to not be the only one who notices it! I was a little worried while writing this, so it’s good to know I wasn’t off base.
I’ve actually never heard of this but thank you for sharing!! If I ever get wordless, I will post a picture…
I’ve also heard of the no word blog day or something like that… it’s pretty cool to go around and see a consensus of bloggers doing something for a point.

I agree that it is very inspiring to see when bloggers get together and commit to something.
Also, Lisa, who commented above, has another great alternative to “Wordless Wednesday” by giving tribute to a fallen soldier in a “Wednesday’s Hero” post.
I agree with Destiny – I have never heard of this Wordless Wednesday, but I agree it is an ignoramus who uses Wordless for a post with tons of paragraphs.
LOL @ “Shh my common sense is tingling.”
That’s pretty funny.

I do love the line myself, especially because it is not hard to see lots of people most days who lack this super power.
