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)

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>

1 That's great Harvey! S of Refractional Darkness is Grau's Blog father. Figure that how you want.

2 I've got all of Grau's side on my sidebar... but you are right, he never created one. I'm kind of afraid of what he could create his graphic to look like... Contagion is correct, S., is Grau's blog father. What about us designated drivers? Do we count???

3 Actually... I don't consider him so. He's one of my best friends, but in my opinion a "Blog Father" is someone who either: A) Inspired someone to start a blog or B) Badgered them until they started a blog (Neither of which S. did). That's why S. has an honored spot in my "Brothers (and Sisters) in all but blood" category (all personal friends from way before I had a blog who I wouldn't hesitate to donate a kidney to if they needed one) but not listed as "Blogfather" If anyone inspired me to start a blog it was probably Emperor Misha, Kim du Toit, and Rachel Lucas (who used to rock so much that she's still getting more hits per day than I am even though her blog sucks now and she hasn't posted in months). Reading these guys rant is what really drove me to start my own seedy corner of cyberspace.

4 Oh Yeah: Thanks for the blogroll. Yes, I am a shitty parent. And... The logo is bitchin'! Just needs a slight modification....

5 Oh yeah, it's the day after my birthday (celebration ensues since no-one is in-town on my actual birthday), Sissy will be here, and yes, adult beverages will flow. Look out!!

6 I have no damn clue who told me he wsa your blog father, Grau. That's why it's on my blog that way. Must change that...

7 Hrmm Beer Women Web What can possibly go wrong? I'm in

8 I think S. considers himself my blogdad too, hope his feelings aren't hurt and stuff, but in brutal honesty the fact that he had a blog before I did wasn't a factor in me starting one, just as my buddy Daniel (of Tiny Place) wasn't (he's had a blog forever too)

Posted by: Graumagus at July 28, 2005 08:10 PM (2gg4+)

9 On a side note though, they both should be in my "Family" blogroll.

Posted by: Graumagus at July 28, 2005 08:19 PM (2gg4+)

10 Hmmmm blogrolling code ain't working right for me.

Posted by: Graumagus at July 28, 2005 08:26 PM (2gg4+)

11 Aw, foo. I can't drink. Can I be a designated driver? I'll even wash and sweep out the PT Cruiser. Full disclosure...actually I CAN drink, it's just that once I start I can't hardly stop. How 'bout instead I just roar 'round from blog to blog shootin' out the streetlights? YEEE-HAAAW!

12 Why are all the good parties scheduled for Saturday nights when I am at work? And since I have to work early Sunday (yes, noon is early to me!) I am relegated to the DD corner with the other losers and Peter [please note the order there, "other losers" referring to folks like myself, and Peter referred to in his own, non-loser catagory... ]

13 Grau, there was some post a long while back where it was brought up and that was said, that's where I latched onto it. Guess I was wrong, but I don't care. I make mistakes once in a while. Harvey, How is it my fault Grau is a bad dad... yes the lack of graphic thing was my short site.. but grau being the crappier of my two crappy blog fathers is not my fault... But at least we know where I get my lack of caring from.

14 WTF?!? I'm gonna f_cking have to f_cking unlock my f_cking blog just for this f_cked up f_cking event? What a bunch of f_cking f_cks....

15 Heh. Moot point. My site's broken - forgot about that.... :/

Posted by: _Jon at July 29, 2005 08:56 AM (ewFgD)

16 _Jon - fix your fucking site. And do something about your "u" key. It seems to be sticking or something. Hmmm... Does this mean your name is actually "uJon"? :-D Contagion - It's YOUR fault because you don't make Grau drink enough :-P

Posted by: Harvey at July 29, 2005 10:13 AM (ubhj8)

17 LOL Harvey "uJon"
