    I think I am having problems attracting new fans. I think I am going through a new cycle of alter egos. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions would help. Gracias.

      Just a thought: You might try swearing a little less.

        You forgot to pick up the two dollars of the dresser. Remember it's a professional relationship. No feelings involved.

    Change your avatar to a gorgeous hunky piece of naked manflesh and more hubbers will join.  Otherwise, you can bribe them, join your fan club and they can post on the religious forum without getting cut down lol.

    Thanks Cindy. I will not take any of your advice though. But Your thoughts are appreciated. I am only doing this thread to attract new people to my fan club. I already have you in my heart and you are trapped.

      Goldentoad, you know we all love you, but as a fan and friend I have to tell you it is the flatulence. Well not exactly the flatulence alone, the noise is well better than Dylon's harmonica, but straight up my friend it peels the skin off my nose! The smell is reminiscent  of Australian cane toad fried in deep pig shit mixed with pounds of garlic and red radish, fermented in aged cow intestinal fluid.
      Otherwise I reckon you're great and would recommend you highly. Don't ask me how I know what the exact smell is, it's a long story and involves Queensland, cane toads, a vegie patch and too many magic mushrooms.

        Earnest where have you been hiding all this wonderful poetry? I feel inspired now.

        Alot of people are on here to ask for fans. Its not the best way to go about because it appears desperate.

    No I like the swearing.

    It's a true American art form you know. Kind of like jazz.

      Totally agreed.  Very underrated, too.  Just look at David Mamet plays and his musical 'f*ck.'  Was thinking of writing a hub on it actually.  smile

    I think Koreans are better at it than Americans.

    Lol, this thread was a lot different than I was expecting it to be smile Now, I know that I have far fewer fans than you, but my experience so far has been to just right well thought out, and meaningful comments on hubs and that should help.  I've noticed that I tend to get fans after I leave one of my longer more meaningful comments.  I'll let you know if this trend continues.  I wish you all the best Goldentoad, and don't worry, your flatulance, and cursing don't make me think differently of you.

      I cannot help myself I have gas and even though the many people claim they do not, I suspect they do. I have tried in the past to stop cussing but it feels too good and I consider the F word the best words in the Latin language. I appreciate your support.

      I know I suffer badly from it. Sarcasm keeps me saucy.
