I have done a bunch of posts telling you how much I love the blogs I follow. Some of them even do me the honor of following me in return. Now I am going to share some of them with you. I am going to reveal to you the bloggers that move me and make me laugh.
I have often said that I am suspicious of the motives of WordPress. Take for example the ‘awards’ that are always floating around. You know the ones… The brilliant blogger award, the most moving blogger award, the inspiring blogger award, the Liebster award… (I am not sure about that one, that might be a real one)… You have to do a post about yourself and then pass the award on to so many other bloggers, like a chain letter. I actually have a lot of those awards, and I am proud of them. I just didn’t pick a theme with a sidebar where I can display my trophies.
I have joked that WordPress created those awards to keep us busy so we, the most creative people on the planet… the bloggers… don’t end up ruling the world. I know it isn’t really that sinister. They just do it so we can share links and find other people who are interesting, but that doesn’t sound as cool to me.
So what I am going to do, basically, is sort of what I would do if I got another award. I am going to do links to people who I think you should get to know if you don’t know them already. But this way, I don’t have to do seven interesting things about me. Because my whole blog is full of interesting things about me. And you know how I hate to toot my own horn… Ha… (Oh lord, I just remembered that ‘toot your own horn’ has showed up in my search engine terms more than once as the thing people typed in to find my blog. And now I guess I know why)…
So please join me for this series, if you would be so kind.
I am going to start off with a blogger that most of you already know. But if you don’t, you should.
So please come back and learn all about Mr. Edward Hotspur.
Pouring My Art Out 
I was going to send you some of the awards Hotspur gave to me in the last couple of months, but then I realized Hotspur had already done it. Plus you don’t follow me so it wouldn’t exactly be kosher I guess.
I gave up doing the award posts… because links are hard to do. My computer doesn’t like them. Why am I not following you? I thought I was for some reason… I am that spacey…
I don’t know why you weren’t following me, I thought I was doing a pretty good job over here 🙂
I am just that dense and forgetful.
I am now following you. I hope you get my sense of humor and don’t end up regretting it.
I haven’t regretted it so far!
Give me time… jeesh.
I herewith award you with none other than the Flaming Beaver Award. You are the first recipient. Don’t let it go to your head. Also, keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
Dude, that makes it sound like I have medical condition that someone of my gender should not even have. But thanks… I think…
Wait. You don’t have Flaming Beaver?????
I had crabs once… does that count?
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!
Does that mean you want me to do you? Oh… wait… you know what I mean…
lol. I know what you mean. And if you have a list of 300 I would be honored to fall somewhere in there.
I don’t think I can do that many. People will get bored.
Are you saying your followers are boring?
No, but I can’t do three months of posts about other people. I never do anything for that long. That is what people like about me.
How long have you been married for?
Like 24 years… I don’t know… I am not good at numbers.
“I can’t do three months of … anything for that long. That is what people like about me.”
Ummmm…
What? Some guys can’t do three hours of some of the stuff I can do.
I think we need to get you into Guiness World Records for most Cheney Photo Chops… if its not a category it should be.
What a thing to become famous for…
Your time has arrived! Gregor has granted you the coveted Eye of Yak Award. That’s right! Your tireless work in ripping your guts out for the rest of us need to be recognized. Gregor sends his love and respect.
I am not worthy… really… I’m not…
