Another hilarious post! I was laughing over the title in my reader, it got me all primed. Superfelicitations is hard to beat! How about Commendulations? .-= Heather Kephart´s last blog ..Wordle Up! =-.

Great head line and cartoon ad! I’ve always loved SomeEgreetings! We say congratulations in a very distinct tone. Dry humor is best. Most people don’t get it. That makes me happy.

I don’t get those emails, and luckily where I live, no children will walk the 1/4 mile to my front door. Lazy kids.
I do have People. And Self. And Better HOmes. And Southern Living. I am about 3 months behind. I need to learn how to say NO also.
But Congratulations to you.
I have no other word to fill in there. Sorry. I am lame and tired from trying to get caught up in my magazine reading.

I’m OK with “Superfelicitations are clearly in order”; plus it will take the person receiving the kudos some time to figure out what you’re saying (thus blessing them by helping them slow down their hectic life pace).

Not to be too spiritual or anything but it reminds me of a scripture I’ve been thinking on lately from Matthew 5:37 (NIV):

Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

It’s referring specifically to swearing to be more emphatic but I think it’s in the same realm; this need to manipulate with language instead of just living simply, openly and honestly.

Congratulations! You have a not-so-interesting comment on your blog… and sadly for the marketers and scam artists, that’s probably still more exciting than their offers

Congratulations, good blog (sorry couldn’t resist). Had to come by as I am also a writer/editor and saw you at another SITS site…….

I remember the good old days when congratulations meant congratulations! It’s true that now when we hear it, we’re instantly suspicious.

You hit it right on the head here. Whenever you hear "Congratulations" you know it's now going to be good. Wil Harrison.com .-= Wil´s last blog ..Video Corner =-.

Hmm. My lamest “congratulations” substitutes might be: confabulations, and congabulations; even, perhaps, constabulations. Lastly, one could add “confornications.”

Sorry, Margo, but it’s the end of a Friday night and I’m clearly not at the top of my game.

But I hear you, girl. I hear you. Oh, the many unclaimed prizes I’ve purposely let languish.
