Diesel Hi, my name's Diesel. I run this site. I started it as a lark, because all of the other humor blog directories I found sucked. Anyway, my own humor blog is Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary. It's listed over there on the upper right. That's what's known in the biz as a "conflict of interest." Deal with it.

Mischief

Mischief is, in the words of one reviewer, "perfectly pleasant," but not terribly funny. I don't think the author of Mischief is necessarily trying to be laugh-out-loud funny most of the time, but of course that's a liability in a blog that's being reviewed as a "humor blog."

Some quotes from our reviewers:
I was a bit mortified to hear this blogger ridicule his prison inmate students re: state capitols. I found the other posts boring.

Very funny. Some posts are funnier than others, but it was definitely amusing to read.

Overuse of exclamation points by the author. 10 yard penalty. Repeat down.

This blog just isn't funny.

This is a neat blog. Not hilarious, but someone in such a position as Prison Teacher is bound to have some interesting/funny stories and perspectives, and this doesn't disappoint. A good writer that kept my attention pretty effortlessly. My fear is this will get hammered by reviewers for not being side-splittingly funny, but people should give it a chance.

It made me laugh!

Nothing overly negative nor overly positive to say. It was a pleasant read. Loved the youtube of Miss South Carolina, though!

I think the guy was trying to be funny, but I didn't even crack a smile once. The only positive things I can say is that the site was easy to navigate and not bad to look at.

I thought this was a great blog. Filled with original anecdotes and humor, written by a guy who actually seems to care about his career/family/readers. Color me impressed.

I think this blog broke my funny bone. I am unable to laugh for the next 4-6 weeks. Rehab looks promising though.

Although the blog was perfectly pleasant, I wouldn't call it funny. The author is mostly talking about himself and two of the 4 or 5 posts on the front page were meme'. He's a likable, average seeming guy and I'm sure he'd make a great neighbor, but it just wasn't funny.
Personally, I've found many of the prison stories to be enlightening and amusing. I'd like to see more of them, in fact. There's nothing wrong with this blog, but it just doesn't quite fit into the "humor blog" mold.

Blogs like this are why I became a reviewer. I had never heard of it before, and I really enjoyed it. I'll be back for sure.

I enjoy it too, Joel. I feel kind of bad when a site like this gets a middling review, because he's obviously not aiming to be The Onion or something.

Thanks Joel and Diesel. I'm fine with my scores. Originally I couldn't decide whether or not to have my blog reviewed. But, I decided, who cares, go for it. I am not surprised by the results. Thanks for the review.

Oh, and to those who kinda felt bad for me being stupid enough to be reviewed by humor-blogs-don't worry. I've been called nastier things than anything any of the reviewers threw at me :) My skin is thicker than that-I do work at a prison.

I deleted my comments because they were over the top mean and unnecessary. I need to stop blogging on an empty stomach-it makes me surly.

Basic gist of what I said.....I've read it a few times and I wondered why it always centers on very dry stories of life teaching juvenile delinquents in a prison. Is that the main blog schtick? Why does it veer into very salty waters with unfunny religious/politics rants? I guess it's that whole 'subjective humour' thing again, isn't it? I guess I like the light-minded easy laughs you don't have to work for or try to decipher.

He definitely should have scored a 5/5 for web site design. I really like the new look.

He for real took pictures of fishing a "pull-up" diaper out of his toilet. The mans got guts. I liked it. :)
