Musings from the Smartest Man in the World
Who, for the sake of brevity, I will start calling "Chief", as he's a fellow Navy man, and rightfully proud of his rank.
Hey, it was either that or "MSMW", which is way to close to the vile epithet "MSM".
Let's peer into the bassinet, shall we?
Traditional sucky first post - Totally. It's the long-winded version of "Look! I've got a blog!". You can always count on Navy guys to respect tradition (although I *still* wonder whatever happened to rum rations and gold hoop earrings).
A short bio - Good introduction. Chief, I recommend linking this prominently in the sidebar with the words "About Me" so that future visitors can get a feeling for who you are and why you write what you write.
Speaking of your sidebar, I'd also suggest putting up an e-mail address in the sidebar so that people can say howdy and/or discuss things in private. If you want a dedicated blogging e-mail addy, just let me know and I can send you a Gmail invite.
Ok, this guy's a freak - A Navy man who doesn't drink? If he's also Irish, then Satan is strapping on his ice skates.
He thinks being part of the Bad Example Family is cool because it brings traffic. Wait until he discovers the dark side... MUAHAHAHAHA!
Little boys, big balls - that's what *I* would've titled this one.
Already embedding YouTube videos - Ya know, back when I was a little Blogsprout, we didn't HAVE fancy YouTube videos! When we were desperate for filler content, we had to blog about our cats! And by gum, that's the way we LIKED it!
Rain - turns out it's like Kryptonite for Californians.
Blood boiler - I thought the headline he quoted from the Seattle Times was his sarcastic condensation of the opinion piece that it was topping. Turns out he quoted it verbatim. Color me nauseous.
Unintentional blood boiler - a basketball game where they don't keep score? That's what pre-game warm-ups are for.
One more suggestion for the sidebar - a "Cast of Characters" list, e.g.:
Number 1 (wife)
The Story Teller (older[?] son)
Mini Me (younger[?] son)
For the benefit of new readers.
Anyway, Chief, 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 occasional visits and comments from me.
Welcome home.

, kiddin' man, put the sidearm down and don't take nothin' serious 'round here. First mutant to come outta da family. Well, good mutant that is, the rest, well, they're good in their own way. They're all mutants in one way or another. I'll tell you this though, us Clan Folk... dissed. Very little offspring goin' poppin' out in camp. Anybody got a sister that ain't busy Saturday night? I might could line somethin' up.
Bloggreatgranddaughter Tink of Tink's Tribulations gave me a "Bloggers With Integrity" award:
For Staying True To Their Beliefs
Bad Example. In the two plus years that I have been blogging, I can honestly say that I know what to expect when I visit granddad Harv's blog. He has never waivered in his beliefs. Thanks Harv.
Now, I wasn't the only awardee on the list, which makes me happy, because - as we all know - one important Bad Example Family Value is:
* A belief that new bloggers should be supported and encouraged.
And when it comes right down to it, we're ALL new bloggers at heart.
I'm proud to see Tink putting some shine on the family honor.
