We, The Management, are frequently asked questions (FAQ) about this feature. To clear the air, here are some frequently questioned answers (FQA).

1. It appears the name of this feature, "Humor Boy's Blog," has been changed?

Yes.

2. Could you be more succinct?

Si.

3. Could you elaborate?

Yes. We have changed the name to "The Private Diary of Mike Durrett."

4. And why is that?

"Dork Boy's Blog" was taken.

5. There must be a reason to make such a bold change at this time.

We're sorry. You must phrase everything in the form of a question.

6. Pardon me. What is your reasoning for the title change?

We're sorry. Could you back up, please, and annotate your question as "5," please. Your previous #5 was not in the form of a question. If anything, we're about accuracy around About.

5. What is your reasoning for the title change?

We feel the name "Humor Boy's Blog" may be confusing to you, the home viewer.

Actually, I'm typing in a public library.

In the form of a question!

6. Am I actually typing in a public library?

If you say so. If anything, we're about trust around About. Allow us to continue --

7. Please?

... Iffy, but we'll let that one slide. We feel the name "Humor Boy's Blog" may cause muddled clarity. After all, this Web site has long been known as "About Humor." Research shows many visitors wonder "Is the blog About Humor's blog or is it Mr. Durrett's blog?" See, that's our dilemma. Our readers are frantic. The confusion is mindbloggling.

8. And how does Mr. Durrett feel about this situation?

He doesn't. He knows nothing about it.

9. What? How can that be?

If anything, we're about accuracy around About.

Oh, dear God.

9 and 10. What? How can that be?

Thank you. Mr. Durrett knows nothing about the name change because it is "The Private Diary of Mike Durrett." It's his personal, confidential journal for his eyes only. We publish it without his knowledge. He hasn't a clue. He certainly would be appalled. He bathes in self-scorn. He has issues.

11. Surely, he must see his diary or the references to it on About Humor?

Are you kidding? He doesn't read that stuff.

12. Well, that explains the typos, doesn't it?

Yeah. Huh? There are typos? We wouldn't know.

13. So, if he doesn't know about About.com publishing his blog--

Diary.

13½. If he doesn't know about you publishing his diary, are you stealing it?

If anything, we're about staying out of penal institutions around About. We have suppliers within his family. That's their business.

14. Who?

His clones, Lester and Connie. They hate the guy. They sneak the diary out of his sock drawer to a fax machine. We upload it. We have nothing better to do.

15. You have answered every possible question I could ever ask frequently. Might I pose one more?

Certainly. If anything, we're About What You Need to Know around About.

16. Might there be recent file photos you could share of his clones and Mike?

Yes, of course. May I validate your parking?

I ask the questions, bub. 17. Don't I?

Connie (ladies first, left), Lester, and Mike Durrett.
