Ok, maybe the #Blessed thing isn't so bad.

Seeds thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, Aug 17th 2017 at 2:27pm ET

I hate hashtags.

I used to find the #Blessed thing particularly irritating, up there with initialisms everyone else seems to know but I refuse to look up.

However today, with the help of meh’s crack writing team, the #blessed hashtag has led me to discover the glory that is Brian Blessed. Nothing that brings this much joy can be so bad.

Got an extra sweet and sour packet from McD’s today without even asking. #Blessed

The overly polite old lady a few desks away had an involuntary reaction declaration to my sneezing at work today. #blessed

- @txag96 This annoys me. People go out of their way to announce/acknowledge your bodily functions. Might as well declare, “You sneezed! Hey everyone, I’m just letting you all know that I noticed a person sneezed.”

- Saying “bless you” after a sneeze is basically like posting “FIRST” on a new forum thread. It’s like they’re saying it solely for the attention. It’s not helpful, it’s not entertaining, and it’s not wanted.

Have no idea what you’re talking about, I hope it was nothing but clips from Flash Gordon.

I love him! I bought a Tom Tom gps system just because you could get it with his voice. It would make me squeal with joy every time I used it.

I find it somewhat annoying when people tell me to ‘have a blessed day.’

Brian Blessed - Not at all SFW.

If he had a gray beard, @MrsPavlov has always said he and I would be each other’s doppelganger.

- @Pavlov Man, you’re Brian Blessed now too? Come up here and have some vodka and tell me about how you punched a yeti and the Dali lama., Oh also, your exchanges with the queen.

- @Pantheist I believe he punched a polar bear. My exchanges with the local queen were in my gap year after high school while I was still finding myself - and I’d never kiss and tell.
  
  I do somewhat resemble the bloke, in both appearance and personality.

- @Pavlov Seriously- I just watched him say he boxed the Dali Lama. He let him win though.
