Blogson-in-law Alex of Alex in Wonderland mentions the trend toward bloggers becoming celebrities.

Fortunately, you'll see no bloated-ego pontificating, or mugging for the cameras at Bad Example. I never expect to rise above my status as a flea on the itchy butt of the blogosphere.

Unless some sort of graffiti-currency-related scandal breaks out, in which case you won't be able to throw a sneaker at a television without hitting my face.

Anyway, as for the title of this post - Alex has announced that his wife (and my blogdaughter) Sally of Whimsy Capricious (who REALLY needs to post something soon) is 4 months pregnant (with an actual child, not a blogspawn).

I'm predicting triplets, just to get Alex spun up.

Blogson Madfish Willie of Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon lost his mother on Sunday, December 10th.

She ran a blog for the San Antonio Polio Survivor's Association for several years, which is a great resource for those afflicted with the disease.

Obituary here.

Pictures from the memorial service here.

Once again, the Bad Example Family tree experiences a dismal failure to branch, as I seem to have had a blogson in cooperation with my bloggrandaughter Mrs_Who of House of Zathras.

Please welcome Bitterroot of Friction and Harmony.

Amazingly, he's only got 10 fingers & 10 toes, so coming from a gene puddle instead of a gene pool doesn't seem to have hurt him any.

Let's see what else he's got:

Meanwhile, please notice the extended entry feature on this post.

The origin of names - both the pseudonym and the blog name. I have to admit, being a Packers fan, I can relate to panicky feelings about Bears.

Pegs the geek meter - by knowing more about .diz files than any normal human being ought. Keyword: normal.

By the way, I'll see your pole-dancing Lincolns and raise you a set of Viking Kittens.

A long and interesting story - which is mostly and excuse to post a link to a Dennis Leary video which I've never seen before, and which song will probably stick in your head for a while.

Accuses his wife of tattling - like he didn't see this coming.

Throwing cheetos at cheesecake - exploiting his wife's beauty for a little blog traffic. Has this man NO honor? Never see that sorta thing here at Bad Example.

Tech notes - Bitterroot could use some friends who know a bit about Wordpress. Which isn't me. I'm just there for the sexy wife pictures.

Membership in the Bad Example Clan is also an option, if you're so inclined to jump through the requisite hoops, but is not mandatory.

Meanwhile you can look forward - with either anticipation or dread - to regular visits and comments from me.

Welcome home.
