Yes, it's that time of year — what, is it almost BlogHer…again? — all snarkiness aside, mostly, there's already been lots of drama, filling up my Twitter stream, enough to choke a chicken. Not that I ever would…choke a chicken, I mean…still, I think that this would be good time, as any, to bring back an old school blogging tradition.
The dreaded blog meme.
[pronounced "meem" like in the word "dream," for you young whippersnappers]
It's sort of like a chain letter, only, less annoying – especially, if it says something nice about, you know, somebody else – and I remember the days when the blog meme was just a really cool way to pass along some linky love.
You see, I'm late. [eyes go wide] NO! Not that late! [knocking on wood until knuckles bleed] I mean, earlier this month, Lisa [a.k.a. Lisa Wants the Floor] said some really nice things about me. Like, I made her stomach hurt (??) or, something like that and then she gave me something called the Zombie Chicken award!
[scratches head]
I think it's contagious. Now I have to give it to someone else. Well, because It's a rule:
THE ZOMBIE CHICKEN AWARD
"The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…"
See, I really don't have any choice in the matter, so here it goes:
- Busy Mom (http://www.busymom.net) One word: Trendsetter – she was a busy before it was cool – the mother of all bloggers, figuratively speaking, of course, because, she's not THAT old, really.
- Suburban Scrawl (http://www.suburbanscrawl.blogspot.com) Two words: Mommy Porn – this woman hooks me up with my fake celebrity boyfriends – go get you some.
- Mommy Needs Coffee (http://www.mommyneedscoffee.com) Three words: She Talks Funny – writes pretty gosh-darned good, too.
- The Bean Blog (http://www.thebeanblog.com/) Four words: She's Got Five Kids – and she's still lives to write about – 'nuf said.
- The Mommy Blog (http://www.themommyblog.net) Five words: Been Reading Her Long Time – she's smart and funny as hell…if there was a hell…and it was funny…I mean – you should be, too.
Thank you for all of your inspiration, for knowing that I am a dork, but liking me, anyway (I think) and in true Golden Girl fashion, thank you for being a friend.
Pass it along, or play along, if you wish. My job is done, here. Frankly, I don't need no wrath from no zombie chickens!
