Best Comment Of The Day, in response to It's In Her Feet: "I'm confused. Does this mean I should stop doing The Running Man when I'm trying to indicate my desire for secks?

These are the practical questions, people."

We say: Ass, meet karma. It will be biting you in a few short decades.

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Double Bestie today, because you guys bring the lulz:

The Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Popped Collars: "And that other popping you'll hear is the sound of my vagina snapping shut." We say: Yours snaps shut?

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Today's Bestie is sweet and bubbly:

Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Badvertising: "In the next front of the cola wars, Coke will issue ads featuring a Sarah Palin look-alike, hunting down a Frito with a gun because those Godless chips will Lay anything." You Say: "But if one of them gets knocked up, gosh darn it, that little Sprite deserves to be born." • Worst, in response to Kerry Washington: Gucci, Poochie, Coo: "Forget the Gucci and that rat passing as a dog. I <3 her shirt. Pretty! I'm sorry, but if your dog weighs less than 10 lbs, it does not officially qualify as a real dog. Of course, my parents dog is a 165 lb St. Bernard and is the BEST. DOG. EVER. So I'm a little biased." I say: Ixnay on the uppy-pay size discrimination! Small dogs are still dogs. My friend R2 is four and a half pounds of love:

The First Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Islamic Militants Get Their Gawker On: "See now, if only Egypt let their extremists have their own Gawker, they'd spend all their time in their ma's basement making up LOLspeak threats to presidential cats instead of thinking up nefarious plots. Freedom of speech FTW." You say: "Bush, plz." • The Second Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Media Outlets Still Obsessed With Obama Girls' First Day: "Yes, but did they circle YES or NO on Senator Chuck Schumer's nephew's Referendum #435297-IR: Do you like me?"

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Okay ladies, we have one Bestie today:

From Tatiana's Vogue post: "Highlights for Kids has also gotten pretty hoity-toity of late, with articles about the following topics:

- a seven year old's heart wrenching account about how he feels "violated" because his mother ate his placenta rather than saving it for his consumption; he fears the issue will never be resolved and will ultimately tear him and his family apart

- an FAO Schwartz pre-Christmas photo shoot clearly featuring lines of Pixie Sticks on a glass surface in the background

- a fictional account of one 4 year old and his best friend Robbely Bear on a nationwide search for the perfect otoro sashimi

- the "Seek and Find" recently encouraged readers to locate keys to a Bentley Big Wheel, a diamond studded African tribal "inspired" pacifier from DeBeers, and Suri Cruise's underpants.

Ad revenue is down 54%."

You say: "Goofus does lines of coke off a stripper's boobs. Gallant drinks coke with a lady friend."

<![CDATA[2008: The Year Of The Commenter]]> 2008 was a wacky year, filled with ups and downs and all sorts of changes. Yet one thing remained the same: our commenters consistently showed up every morning with something hilarious or thoughtful to say.

We could have gone through thousands of comments to select the very best, but you bitches are too funny and too clever and it would have been an impossible task. However, there is one thing we can say for certain: our commenters can find something insanely funny or insightful to say about every post. And also: SOMETIMES THEY GET EXCITED AND LIKE TO YELL ABOUT IT.

And so, dear commenters, instead we've chosen to list the top 25 most prolific commenters of the year. These are the people who constantly contribute to the site, bringing their insights to each post. The number beside their name represents the number of comments they've made this year:

25. Westvillagegirl: 4,276
24. Charlotte Corday: 4,386
23. littlestripes: 4,482
22. Hamsterpants: 4,481
21. BlondeGrlz: 4,489
20. funnyface: 4,490
19. badmutha: 4,502
18. Political Party Girl: 4,557
17. brendastarlet: 4,650
16. BrutallyHonestBabes: 4,750
15. LaComtesse: 4,903
14. ceejeemcbeegee: 5,573
13. TruculentandUnreliable: 5,574
12. SisterMaryMartha: 5,826
11. SinisterRouge: 5,586
10. PilgrimSoul: 6,383
09. stacyinbean: 6,490
08. J.D. Regent: 6,651
07. braak: 7,544
06. SarahMC: 7,993
05. Your beloved moderator, me: 8,225
04. tscheese: 8,742
03. NefariousNewt: 8,893
02. ineffable.me: 9,103
01. Penny Plastic (Archetype): 14,315

Yet this list alone does not cover the awesomeness of the comments that were made this year. And so we're leaving it up to you to list your absolute favorites in the comments below. I would also like to give a shoutout (because it's 1997 and I'm on TRL, apparently) to Morninggloria, Es-ki-mo, andBegorrah, Sarah.of.a.lesser.god, and BabyJane for consistently making the search for a Bestie so damn easy.

So now it's your turn, doves! List your favorites below — this thread is for you, so have fun. From all of us, to all of you: thank you, have a great night tonight, and may 2009 be a CAPS WORTHY year.

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to IVF Patients To Other Infertile Females: Keep Your Paws Off Our Embryos: "Personally, I think they should put all the extra embryos in a big tank and let them battle it out Sea-Monkey style. Whichever one is left after devouring all the weaker ones will clearly be the chosen one, at which point we can implant in a virgin and then just hang out and wait for the end of days. Problem solved." We say: that's what the Bible says, right? • Worst, in response to Arianna Huffington: Blogging Is Like STDs, But More Fun: "Somedays Jez and HufPo are Indistinguishable from each other. I like reading both, I just don't like feeling as though I can read one or the other and get all the same stories. Can we have some variety please?" We say: ah yes, we remember fondly that day Arianna wrote about ball hair, just like we did. Oh wait…

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to Couple's First Kiss Happened At The Altar: "I can appreciate that they not only talked the talk but also walked the walk. I, however, will not be walking that walk with them, as I likes to make out quite a bit. Still, they are very much unlike those hypocritical, ultra-conservative, abstinence-only, super-Repubs who are against EVERYTHING sexual, but still manage to be discovered hog-tied, wrapped in liquid latex, masked with self-asphyxiation device and snorting cocaine off of the hind quarters of a transgendered prostitute." We say: That says it all. • Worst, in response to Britney: On The Record: "I'm Sad": "I see a lot of 'omigod poor Britney' type of messages on here and I don't understand why. She is in control of her life. Yes, she has handlers but she can make her own choices. She doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to […] As for the depression defense and how that makes her all screwed up and encourages those bad choices; bullshit. […] Britney couldn't do this for her kids because she is selfish, immature and had no consideration for anyone but herself… Bullshit on the depression." We say: Sam Lutfi, is that you?

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Project Ice Age: "She's so cute she's positively cro-mignon." You say: "She's so cute she makes all the men homo erectus, if you know what I mean." • Worst, in response to Spencer Continues To Be A Complete Asshole To Heidi: "Hmmm. Nope. Still don't care about The Hills." We say: Then why comment in a post about The Hills? Please read about the characteristics of a bad comment, particularly the part about "irrelevance."

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comments Of The Day, the Double Happiness Friday Version: In response to The Human Stain: "Wait, you orange blossom wet wipe your TEETH? Gross." You say: "Unless your name is Terrence Howard, then I don't even want to KNOW what you do with those things." • Additional best, in response to January Jones Is Not Betty Draper: "The dress version of the flashing lights at the beginning of 3 2 1...Contact!" You say: "CONTACT! IT'S THE SECRET!! IT'S THE MOMENT!! WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENS!!"

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to Golden Boys: Clement Lefert, Teammate: "'There's no I in TEAM!'" There sure isn't...we're sorry, what were you talking about again? (The entire comment thread should get an honorable mention for this post, team effort!) Worst, in response to Loose Lips: "America is just jealous that Blake is better looking and will probably be able to get more roles as a result." Also, in response to Loose Lips (again): "All America does in this clip is draw attention to herself as being the less attractive of the two, starring in a show where you are 'ugly'." Uh, are we getting commenters shipped direct from the middle school "mean girls" table?

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Manhattan Rains On Madonna's Parade: "Perhaps it's the tears of a clown, because Madonna stole his pants." A guido clown who is forever stuck in Photo Booth's "colored pencil" effect, perhaps? Worst, in response to The Teen Choice Awards Were Very Good, Very Bad, & Very Ugly: "Huh. I thought maybe it was an anamoly [sic], but I have no idea why SadieStein gets to be the arbiter of good taste. Because I've got a lot of disagreements here." Huh. Well for starters, Sadie Stein works here. You don't.

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> In honor of Moe's last day at Jezebel (and because it is fucking Friday) we've decided, again, to give out two best COTD. Best Comments of the Day, in response to Sexy Summer Beach Reads: "The only way I would buy this book is if it came with a 'clitoris finder' that I could subsequently give to all my future hook-ups." Oh, if only. And, in response to Solving The Anthrax Mystery (And Other Odds And Ends): "Yobama's so skinny, he asked if the Bible Belt came in a 28" waist." A good zinger, but sadly we don't think it comes in that size.

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to Ryan & Rachel Haven't Totally Cut The Cord: "Looking at this is kind of like the time I saw my divorced parents hug at my high school graduation." So it is hopeful but ultimately awkward? Aw, we will still be wishing away! • Worst, in response to 10 Ways John McCain Can Be Compared To Paris Hilton & Britney Spears: "'Some suspect' he uses the 'n' word? Outstanding journalism there, Megan." Oh, sorry, you must have us confused with The New York Times. Blog listicles are not intended to be "journalism", although we do hear McCain has a love for one particular racial slur!

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to Loose Lips: "Apparently if you tell Billy Ray's heart anything, it blows up and kills him." We say: He's achy-breaky over Smiley Miley, sigh. Worst, in response to Jennifer Hudson Checks Out At Check-In: "How would we ever know she won an Oscar?" Uh, she won an Oscar based on talent, not on airport travel attire.

<![CDATA[Reader Roundup]]> Best Comment of the Day, in response to Loose Lips: "Raw milk gives you salmonella, ella ella eh eh eh!" Haha! Except now that damn song is stuck in our heads. • Worst, in response to Beauty Bloggers Are The Lowest Form Of Freeloader: "Moe—What's wrong with wanting to look or feel your best? And so what if makeup is what it takes to get you there? I'm guessing that you're the type who would make fun of a woman who wears mascara and lip gloss, but would think having a nose piercing or dying a swath of your hair pink, because it's 'edgy' and 'cool.'" Honey, you guessed wrong. Also: You missed the point.
