“On behalf of The Internet, I’m sorry. You don’t deserve to be treated this way.”

On behalf of The Internet, I endorse the above apology and reaffirm that you are an entertainer extraordinaire. You deserved not what they did to you.

It sure is, MonkeyPants! Effie insists on plastic protective furniture covering just in case someone spills mayonnaise.

Is that love seat enveloped in its own bubble?

I second Willoughby2′s opinion on the matter. I think the vigilantes on Reddit are entirely out of line, and everything about the Grandpa Wiggly character is pure art. I’m amazed that they’re even as upset as they are, considering how spectacularly absurd some of your stories are (I don’t believe that anyone can spend that much time thinking about mayonnaise, anyways).

You made Reddit a better place with your stories. You made everyone feel better about being there, regardless of who they were. Reddit’s thought police can fuck themselves for changing that. It’s a shame that things unfolded the way they did, because this only exemplifies the hypocrisy of Reddit. If we can’t just appreciate originality for what it is, then I suppose we don’t deserve it.

On behalf of The Internet, I’m sorry. You don’t deserve to be treated this way.

Love the blog, love your humor, HATE what that ass Panek (and some equally snotty others) did on Reddit. He’s a fool – and worse, a fraud as he claims he is doing something worthwhile. Karma, I hope it kicks him in the butt. Meanwhile, I hope you don’t give up either this blog or posting. It means nothing to me one way or another who you are, as I didn’t come here to ‘emotionally invest’ myself in you, I came to enjoy your writings. Btw.. I wasn’t familiar with you before that ‘my grandpa is on reddit’ post, but that, my friend was one of the best threads ever! Keep cool.

I’ve been reading this and your recent Hilarity on reddit and I just want to say that you’re a fantastic person. Next time I drive into Boston I want to buy you a coffee. Or perhaps some high-end mayo ingredients.

You sir, are what I can only aspire to be in 50 years time.
Truly epic – and the grandson thing on reddit – had me laughing for hours, smiling for days.
Awesome blog.

I heartily agree with point 5. Using an electric mixer will make this much much easier because you can focus on slowly adding the oil and not worry about the stirring.

The egg yolks are the emulsifiers and mustard helps too. If you’ve having trouble, you might add another egg yolk, or half of one. Or add some of the mustard up front.

But the key is adding the oil very very slowly. You can recover from a (very) little bit of curdling by just letting it mix for a while, but once real curdling has started you’re probably screwed.
