IT'S A GIRL!

Bloggranddaughter VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks has adopted herself a blogdaughter.

Who just happens to be the wife of her bloggrandpa.

Not me, the other one.

I tell ya, the Bad Example Family Tree just keeps looking more and more like this:

First, a word of caution to Bug... adopting a blogchild is a grave and fearsome responsibility. I expect you to lavish her with love, support, attention, and regular comments. Remember to encourage her during those dry spells where blogging doesn't seem like much fun anymore. Be a good blogmama.

Now, let's have a gander at this foundling:

Maranda of Maranda Under Stress

Since Maranda has actually been blogging for over a year, I'll just link a semi-random selection of posts instead of the "link every darn one" thing that I usually do with the newbies.

Traditional sucky first post - Titling a post "Here I Am" and beginning it with "I hereby officially declare Maranda Under Stress up, operational and open for blogging business." is a good method of clearing the suck out of your system so that you can get on to better blogging. There's also a few biographical notes that NORMAL people save for post #2.

Answers the burning question: "Why would anyone be called Maranda unless they were being arrested or wore big hats full of fruit?"

The nurse's prayer... not sure where that bit about Astroglide came from...

Phrases that should never appear on ANYONE'S blog - "a guy in a thong style suit with thin straps that go over the shoulders on his sides".

Penis enlargement tip that actually works!

A handy tip to help NASA cope with those budget cuts.

Finally, she realizes too late the full implications of being her own bloggreatgrandmother.

Anyway, Maranda, you can pick up a Bad Example Family logo from this post, and you may, if you wish, blogroll the rest of the Bad Example Family using the handy blogrolling javascript, although neither is a requirement.

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.

IT'S A GIRL!

Bloggranddaughter Lee Ann of Lee Ann's View presents us with her new blogdaughter:

"Susan" of Get A Life

Let's peek under the little pink blanket:

Traditional sucky first post - not exactly, as she combined it with the traditional second "about me" post. Here we discover both the origin of her blog's name and the fact that her willpower only has a 365 day shelf life.

Proof that celebrities should fornicate more cautiously.

Proof of her own insanity in the form of 30 degree coatlessness and a favoring of the Colts in the Superbowl.

Proof of her twisted sense of humor. You can always tell a Bad Example Family member by their inappropriate laughter.

In case you were wondering, that long-haired, black-hatted trumpet player on ESPN2 Thursday night wasn't some homeless guy who wandered in off the street, it was her son.
