LIVECHAT DURING THE BLOGCRAWL? THIS COULD BE INTERESTING...

BloodSpite of Technography said we could borrow a chatroom for the BlogCrawl.

I have NO idea what I'm doing with this, but I went here:

http://acepilots.com/chat/phpMyChat.php3

Registered (it's free), and set up a public chatroom called "Blogcrawl".

There's a tutorial here, which I won't read because instructions are for sissies.

No offense, Sissy.

ADULT SIPPY CUP

Blogdaughter Sally of Whimsy Capricious says she has trouble keeping enough fluids by her bedside to keep her from getting thirsty at night:

we own hundreds of plastic kid's cups. Glittery Barbie, Little Mermaid, Disney Princess monstrosities...tons of them. The trouble with these cups is that they don't hold much liquid.

May I recommend one of these?

(click to enlarge)

8 inches high, 5 inches diameter, holds about 64 oz of liquid, and has a spill-resistant closable top.

Wait... Sally's English... I need to convert to metric... where's that calculator?...

[spends several minutes longer than necessary playing with calculator]

Oh! The NUMBERS...

About 20 cm high, about 13 diameter, and holds just under 2 liters.

[Hat tips to blogdaughter Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice and Ted of Rocket Jones for the calculator link]

WONKETTE SAYS JOHN ROBERTS "NOT GAY ENOUGH"

(A Precision Guided Humor Assignment cross-posted from IMAO)

Even with his penchant for plaid pants and his eagerness to wrestle with sweaty, half-naked young men, Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts faced strong criticism from the left for his lack of overt homosexuality.

"When Roberts was first introduced," said butt-sex-loving possibly-closeted-lesbian leftist blogger Wonkette. "I thought that Bush was trying to break ground with the first Gay-American Supreme Court justice. Why else would he give a girl's SCOTUS seat to a guy?"

"But as I looked deeper into his past, I was disappointed. Sure, he was a man-grabbing drama-princess in high school, but he also played football - although that last may have been an excuse to snag an eyeful of locker-room boy-booty."

"I really got my hopes up," continued Wonkette, "when I read that he'd had a role in the musical 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown'. I thought that if he played that *ahem* thumb-sucker Linus - you know, the one who kept rebuffing that pretty blond girl, Sally - that would seal the deal on him being light in the loafers. Unfortunately, he played Peppermint Patty."

"I guess I should give him SOME gay-cred for portraying a lesbian, though."

When questioned directly at a recent press conference, Roberts briefly acknowledged his disappointly mild homosexuality.

"Of course I'm gay," said Roberts. "Who wouldn't be festive & cheerful after being nominated to the Supreme Court? But I'll try to contain myself until after the hearings."

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY BUT DON'T WANT TO DRINK...

Blogdaughter Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice was asking if there was a role for non-lushs in the Bad Example & Frizzen Family Blog Crawl:

What about us designated drivers? Do we count???

You sure do:

TAMMI'S BIRTHDAY

Blogdaughter Tammi of Tammi's World FINALLY turned 21 today.

Have at her boys, she's legal now.

For a present, I'm doing something I wouldn't do for anyone else...

Posting this picture:

BucTacklePack.jpg

Now let us never speak of this again.

Happy Birthday, Tammi.

UPDATE: Hmmm... looks like "21" may have been the number of comments that've been left so far.

Either way, I'm still pretty sure she's legal.

PING CHECK (UPDATE: ANY WORDPRESS GEEKS OUT THERE?)

Stop the ACLU can't receive trackbacks, and Jay asked me if I could figure out why.

If he were using Haloscan, this would be easy.

As it stands, I'm just going to try sending a trackback to a random post & see if he's just crazy in the head.

Then I'll ask for someone with a clue to help.

UPDATE 7-28-05 6:45 PM: Sounds like a template/design issue. Anybody know how to get WordPress to display trackbacks? Please comment.

BAD EXAMPLE & FRIZZEN SPARKS FAMILY BLOGCRAWL 2005 (UPDATED 7-29-05)

Blogson Contagion of Miasmatic Review announces that from 7pm Saturday, July 30th to 7am Sunday, July 31st, you should get drunk and comment on any (or every) blog on the Bad Example and/or Frizzen Family blogrolls. Here are the rules:

A) You have to be 21 years old to participate. I donÂ’t want some minorÂ’s parents coming back and saying I told them to get pissed drunk and go on the internet. If you are under 21, you may still participate, as a designated blogger.

2) Drink as much as you comfortably feel you should. This is for fun, I donÂ’t want to have blog fodder stories involving charcoal slurries and ER visits. Be responsible, especially if you have to drive. IÂ’m saying right now that if you do something stupid and hurt yourself I will make fun of you. I am neither legally, morally nor ethically responsible for anything you do either in the real world or on the internet. You are all adults and responsible for your own actions.

D) Please attempt to limit the Blog Crawl comments to the time frame listed. Just so, itÂ’s easier to track. Not that IÂ’m going to link to every single post that has a comment on it, I just donÂ’t want to search for them Sunday to see what everyone said. Oh, and a drunken post on your own blog is perfectly acceptable and I will link to those.

4) Try to leave a comment on every blog in the Bad Example and Frizzen Sparks family. You may use my side bar as a reference if you donÂ’t know who they are. Do not feel limited to these blogs only, go ahead and hit any other blog you would like as well. Oh, and a drunken post on your own blog is perfectly acceptable and I will link to those.

(Yeah, I know. But he always numbers things that way)

Anyway, dingus forgot two things.

First, an event like this needs a logo. Pam of Pamibe (see her if you ever need a logo) whipped one up for me. Here's the 150px wide version below. If you click it, you get the 386px wide version, which you can shrink to fit if you need a different size.

Second, Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks never made a Frizzen Family Blogroll for his kids because he's a crappy blogdad. However, since we've had blogkids together (don't ask, and try not to picture it), I figured I could throw something together at Blogrolling.com:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=f08d8a4aa90fa6bc7a26e6d29c6850fb"></script>

Which you can put in your sidebar and you'll get a pretty, alphabetized list like what I got on my right sidebar.

And someone needs to tell me if Refractional Darkness is actually Frizzen (like Contagion says), or just a Friend of Frizzen, since Grau doesn't list him in the family.

UPDATE: As Pam said "smaller... flatter... transparent" (200px wide)

blogcrawl2005.gif

Well, smaller than the 386px version :-)

UPDATE: 7-29-05: The Frizzen Family code is too long to display properly in this post - the last bit gets cut off. It should contain all of the following, except put it all on one line in your template:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?
r=f08d8a4aa90fa6bc7a26e6d29c6850fb"></script>

UPDATE: 7-30-05: Designated Drivers can get their logo here.

UPDATE: 7-30-05: The Bad Example Family blogrolling code. Also too long to display properly in this post - the last bit gets cut off. It should contain all of the following, except put it all on one line in your template:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?
r=f6ff21d761fa222a93159978f2d68eb6"></script>

I'M GOOD WITH IT

Ogre of Ogre's Politics & Views puts forth the following lament:

This editorial in the Sun News of Myrtle Beach has it right. The editorial talks about a "tax break" that's been proposed in North Carolina. This "break" would allow home builders to be exempt from property taxes for up to 5 years for homes they build that are not occupied immediately.

Of course, if this happens, then everyone else will have to pay more taxes to make up for the builder not paying taxes.

Me?

Personally, I'm happy for ANYONE who gets out of paying any tax for any reason.

It'd be better if it were me, but... *shrug*

And technically, the tax break doesn't CAUSE the higher taxes on everyone else. That's a separate decision and deserves to be cursed on its own.

BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS

ArmyWifeToddlerMom has the right idea.

As a Navy veteran, I can honestly say that - with the possible exception of shore leave and working girls - a good book does the most to make a soldier's day go better.

When you're not busy working your ass off or fighting for your life, the boredom is appalling.
