If you typically high-five your monitor when someone leaves a brilliant comment on your blog, are you eligible to receive a scholarship for people deprived of emotional sophistication?

There is nothing more satisfying than a good comment. The kind of comment that warms your heart and soothes the soul. The type of comment that validates your blog and classifies your writing as among the very best to be had. You are sophisticated and had this comment been one of those comments, then right about now you would have been suffused with the glow of emotional bliss. But, since this a lame, run-of-the-mill comment, merely a yawn will have to suffice as you click ‘next’.
Aww, Brian, yours ranks with me as a great comment!
How exactly do you high-five a moniter?
My goal in life is to someday leave a comment worthy of high-fiving the monitor. In the meantime, I will be happy with the comments of others which cause me to want to make such a move.
Paul, you receive so many brilliant comments to go with your brilliant posts that you will never qualify for that scholarship. There’s too much sophistication, emotional or otherwise, goin’ on ’round here.
Just ‘found’ your blog. Like it. Will return.
Does that answer the question?
I just had a mental picture… I don’t know what you look like… I envisioned your lion with a grin and its paw through a monitor
@ Autonomous: If I had that figured out, I wouldn’t need to replace my monitors so often.
@ Robin: You’re memory is failing you — I recall several occasions on which you have left excellent comments.
@ Canadada: Welcome to the blog! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
@ Enreal: That’s almost the same mental image I get!
I only started high fiving my monitor after a biorhythm website convinced me it could check my pulse and future by pressing my thumb against the screen.

I think it’s a sign you’re a writer, dearest. Writers do all kinds of oddball things when they discover a) they have readers, b) those readers are actually reading because they like the writer’s work (instead of it being down to the train-wreck syndrome) and c) that those readers are actually inspired by the writer’s work to leave amazing comments.
Myself, I toast my monitor when I get one o’ those. I have not yet, however, asked my monitor for a speech.
I’m gonna be 50 this year, Paul. Of course my memory is failing me.
Perhaps not so much a scholarship as a monitor-replacement subsidy…
@ SG: Quite understandable!
@ Dana: Toasting the screen seems a somewhat more sophisticated way of going about celebrating brilliant posts than high fiving it.
@ Robin: Hah! I’m already 51, young’un! At 50, you’re still wet behind the ears. Why back in my day, we didn’t even have monitors — we had things called typewriters. And we had to walk 7 miles through the snow to find one.
@ Lirone: Great idea! Precisely the sort of social program millions can get behind.
