Now I feel like a total slacker, or else I'm someone who posts utter dreck. 167 drafts? HOLY MOLY, woman! (I've got 4. I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me...)
I'm waiting for the dog vs. celebrity side by side comparison. That sounds very promising!

I have zero drafts. I just pull a post out of my ass most every day. I so live on the edge.
For a moment there I thought you had called your husband a "baboon" and, well, for the life of me I couldn't find the endearment in it. Then I realised it read "Baboo" and well, now I'm still stumped!
I have about 3, I think. And they suck or are too mean and I can't bring myself to publish them. Though I did just post about waxing off half my eyebrow...maybe it's time to dig through those again...
I don't have any unpublished drafts. I either write or I don't. I suck! The cheese one is my favorite. Damn, I want some cheese now. Mmmmm... gouda... :)
I have stuff like this too. Unfortunately, I write down ideas on scraps of paper that I carry in my wallet. There's nothing better than an unintelligible post idea made illegible by pocket tumbling.
My drafts folder is up to about 30 right now, and NONE of them are as good as this. Many of them are just a sentence or two, and some of them - don't even know what they mean anymore.
One of them has no title and when you open it, it says just one word: "Duck.". I have no memory of creating this and no idea what it means. I should probably delete it, but I keep thinking that one day it'll just come to me, and a brilliant post will be born.
Until then I just keep posting embarrassing photos of my husband with a dog's ass in his face and stories about big equipment vehicles passing me on the right.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.

My draft folder contains posts that are 99% written and then I realized who would be reading them. I'm all about spilling my guts, but spilling someone else's guts usually gets me into trouble.
Okay the German post was hilarious! And I'm kind of stuck on the fact that at some point in this post you said "rad." I miss that word. I think you should instigate it's comeback.

If I bring Mexican Train to Blogher next year will you play with me?! LOL I loooooooooooooove that game, but no one ever wants to play with me! I used to play it with my grandparents and my best friend. My grandma took her Mexican Train playing very seriously. I just remember getting pinched under the table a lot if I was singing/daydreaming/not paying attention. Good times, good times.
PS-hi Maria...nice to "meet" you. You have a very nice blog, complete with fun little emoticons to use. That's pretty fucking fantastical. :-[)
I have a bunch in the folder right now, which is weird because I never really write from drafts; I just go. But I thought "What if I run out of ideas? Wouldn't it be good to have some in reserve?" So I started writing little notes on posts to myself and putting them in the draft folder and now I'm NEVER GOING TO GO BACK TO THEM AGAIN. Those ideas are born, even if only in draft, so I don't feel the urge to write them any more.
Everyone wants cheese. I felt so bad for this guy on LA Ink the other night who just learned he is lactose intolerant and was so broken up over it that he had a tatoo of a wedge of swiss done with a banner over it that read, "In loving memory".

That? Was a great wonderful post. I actually only have a few posts in my drafts
You live in Utah and we have not made plans to meet up somewhere and have lunch? We definitely have to do that when I come back to my job in the spring.
Oh my GOOOOOSSSSHHHHH! Elliott Stabler is my boyfriend, TOOOOO!!!!! Oh my GOSH!!!!! I love SVUUUUUU! (Why am I starting to sound like Stewart from MadTV?) Anyway...those "drafts" need to get published. Now. Like...yesterday. Get crackin', missy. I haven't had a good laugh in a while.
Hehe. Love all those drafts. I have lots of 'em too. Mostly they are either only half-baked thoughts, or they've start winding off into musings so tortuously complicated that I can't figure out how to write my way out of them. Perhaps I should bring out the heavy editing? And I'm with you: Cheeeeeese (Gromit)!

LOL I love those! I actually don't have anything in my drafts folder! I've had a few here and there, but once I re-read, I either finish or delete, so they don't last long.
Perhaps I'll use it to it's full potential now! :)
Please, please, please finish some of these, will ya?! There is a gold mine in them there drafts, I tell ya. Especially about David Caruso . . . the detail-oriented person that you are not . . . the exchanges with your husband.
I, too, have a ton of drafts. They are pitiful, pointless, poignant and even one that clearly discusses my love for alliteration--that one falls under the pitiful and pointless categories.
I'm formally protesting this post. Loralee has clearly been digging through MY blog drafts and not her own. I swear that German thing is totally mine. But that SVU thing? Notsomuch. Okay, it's possible some of those are hers. But only some of them.

Too funny @ not being able to remember.
I feel you, I am guilty of this myself. It's so funny, cause I will go back back and read something still drafted and wonder what in the world was I talking about? LOL.
Like you, I will draft many things while the writing muse has struck, then decide to go in an entirely different direction. We're human.

sorry 'bout that.
comment mis-aimed. i have no opinion about your swearing.

I actually don't have any drafts...boring or not, all post go out with a quick flick of the finger. I just don't think about it too much. Yep, I might be a tic tac for doing that but so be it.

Holy drafts, Batman!! Too bad they weren't beer.
That is way impressive. I've only got a couple at a time, and I usually end up deleting them as nothing more than brain farts.
