...unlike Bjork... who has made it painfully obvious subsequent to your message to me that he is not worthy of a response.

Dang, Jon...

For someone who complains about how verbose I can get, you ain't exactly succinct yourself. ;)

Let's begin with my wife. She already knows about my fondness for bare shoulders, so it wouldn't exactly be breaking news to her. Nor would I be embarrassed were my children to read any of my posts. (Maybe YOU embarrass easily; I don't.) I've even shown Brigitte's vlog to my wife and one of my kids. My wife and I enjoy a wonderful, loving, trusting relationship, and we have a very happy family, thank you very much.

As far as my being a "creepy individual", that's up to anyone's judgement, and you've made it quite clear what you think of me. You can go right ahead and think that way if you wish.

As far as my "camping out" here and constanting hitting the F5 key, which I was just recently reminded refreshes the screen, I'm sure I give people like you that impression, but I simply have placed Brigitte's sites among my Favorites. I can get to them quickly, write quickly, get off quickly, and do other things (quickly). For people like you, who assume that the sum total of my life is exclusively wrapped up in World Brigitte, and that I cannot possible be doing anything else, let me illuminate you. World Brigitte isn't the only place online where I post comments... and posting comments is NOT the only thing I do all day, day in and day out.

As far as being everywhere she is online, that comes from having recently become an ardent fan who happens to be fascinated by how a woman as young as she can be in the process of making herself into a web celeb and a freelance writer as opposed to working at the more typical mundane jobs, like retail, waiting tables, working as a secretary, etc.

As far as my apologizing to Brigitte for possibly contributing to her state of funk, that came from a concern to do the right thing. I do know that Brigitte reads the comments, but I don't assume that she cares a whit about what I think, nor do I have any evidence to believe that I have any affect on her. Believe it or not, I'm a very un-assuming man. Nevertheless, if I did manage to annoy her at all, apologizing is something that only you would complain about.

As far as the "term of endearment" of "hon"... if you think that sounds at all intimate, then you're coming from a different place entirely. I use that for a variety of female friends. Yesterday I said to a fellow worker, "How are you dah-ling?" She responded, "Why fine, dah-ling, how are YOU?" I sometimes call my daughters "girlfriend". Big whoop. Make a federal case of it if you want to.

As far as my wanting to know about Brigitte, that simply stems from my fascination with her imagination, talent, and accomplishments... and how she got here from simply being another kid growing up like any other... and recognizing her potential. If she wrote an autobiography, I'd most likely buy it.

I don't think of myself as a blog moderator; I think of myself as a blog commenter... on even keel with everyone else, but I don't mind speaking my mind. (Neither do you.)

I don't understand at all what you mean by the "shoot up poor Ronald Reagan as a gesture of love" statement; it just sounds real strange, so I can't comment to it.

Twist it all into something truly perverse, if that's where you're coming from, Jon. I honestly don't care. But being the gentleman that I am, I thought I would do you the courtesy of a reply.

Jim, I don't want to flame you but it's a little odd that you camp on a blog about television when you don't have cable. I kind of have this feeling that you're a creepy stalker kind of dude but more on that in a sec.

Until a couple of days ago I didn't realize that the host of this vblog also did other things (I really didn't care) but then you mentioned something about posting on another blog so I googled and found it and there you were in all your verbosity. Hmm, so now you're interested in healthy living and TV.

I dug a little more and found you correcting people concerning neckties on another blog authored by our dear host. Television, healthy living, and fashion...those are some eclectic tastes for a middle aged man with a family. Are you a Fendi-toting, Prada-obsessed, vegan with a serious Paris Hilton jones?

You're also posting on her personal blog but that might be different; she's posting more personal thoughts and revelations there so begging for meaningful scraps may be apropos.

Jim, have you considered that you are unhealthily obsessed with this person? Today you commented that you hoped her funk wasn't due in part to you. That suggests that you believe that not only are you a part of her life but a strong influence on it as well. A day or two ago you left us with this, "Pay no attention to Bjork, hon. You're doin' great!" Using terms of endearment? Really?

You seek and ask for personal information that has nothing to do with the posted subject-matter. Ask yourself why you would need to know personal information about this young woman other than to fuel a voyeuristic need. Other guys come and make half-hearted stabs at procuring favor but they are largely one-time efforts. You are both persistent and pervasive and as the
self-appointed moderator of all of these blogs, you are quick to assert your presence when outside parties advance.

I'm not saying do this or do not that. Hell, this whole thing could become much more interesting if you decide to shoot up poor Ronald Reagan as a gesture of love. All I'm saying is search for self-awareness and be honest with yourself. If you decide that this is the path for you then at least you can pursue it honestly (if futilely).What would your wife and children think of your confession that bare shoulders are your weakness? Remember what's real man. Good luck.

I know B wouldn't ever be like "I need a date, why don't I look at the comments people leave for me in my videos".

I just wanted to help her out when she needed to research the demography of her audience.

Where does one find a fruit tart the size of one's head?? Although, I'm moderately sure my head is bigger than Brigitte's so I'm gonna need a larger fruit tart.

And hey Jim Murphy, I too wonder at the amount of calories in a fruit tart the size of one's head. And none of us have a "snowball's chance in hell" with Brigitte. Well put.

You're pointing out your compatible age range and single marital status to Brigitte as if you had a snowball's chance in hell with her, and YOU'RE calling US crazy?

ROFLMAO!!!

...I'm sorry... I should be nice to new-comers, shouldn't I?

Hey B!

I'm glad you got out of your funk. Your show gets me out of my morning funk at work. And even though I don't want to act like your crazy fans (I'm single, and in your age range), I would certainly buy your DVD package.

Are your shows on a YouTube channel?

Just how many calories are in a fruit tart the size of your head??? ;)

I'm sold on the blooper edition, too, but I'm not so sure about empty film reels. (Does Brigitte even use film? What is film again? ...oh yeah... film...)

I think a better present would be to serve up on a silver platter roasted Bjork the Pork with an apple stuffed in his mouth... (get a load of the previous edition's comments made by this loser).

I... can't believe I'm agreeing with Patrick but I am totally sold on a Bridget Blooper reel.

I say we all vote and let Bridget know we want a blooper episode by sending her a bunch of empty film reels. If National Bingo Night can get demands from psycho netizens, surely we can achieve something.
