Bonfire of the Vanities # 68

Dodgeblogium is pleased to be your host for this week’s version of the best of the worst in the Blogdom. Each author will explain his or her own rationale for choosing the submission to be tossed on the pyre…..don’t blame the messenger for this mess…..all we do is print ‘em for your enjoyment/edification!!

* * * * *

First in line is The Chainik Hocker with “My very worst post ever”, according to him [and who are we to disagree].
* * * * *

Feste…a foolsblog is in fine form again! He even does his own publicity: With a bit of a mind flip…You’re into the time slip for Florida, April 19th, 2004. It’s astounding; Time is fleeting; Madness takes its toll. But listen closely… Let’s Do The Flip-Flop Again

* * * * *

Title: The Only Team America Review That Matters from Brian J.

* * * * *

“Admitting one’s geekiness probably isn’t the best post. In fact, it’s one of the worst.” Honesty Pays !! From Sean’s keyboard.

* * * * *

Trying to be clever, bLogicus blogs “no blogging today” thereby contradicting himself and the title of his blog.

* * * * *

“It was tough to pick a worst post for the bonfire, but since this post was entirely self-serving, it’s my entry from Espresso Sarcasm.

* * * * *

Mike, from Interested-Participant sends a cheery note: Salutations, Please dump the following into the fire: Woman Dies In Ticket Line

* * * * *

Gary must have thought this was so bad he didn’t even want to give the name of his blog or post in print…see what you think ??

* * * * *

King of the oneliners, More like two liners…so sayeth SpaceMonkey…he’s still learning to count.

* * * * *

The Accidental Moose, from Spare Change...more weird than worst, but it’s his choice.

* * * * *

Playoff Picks 2” by Josh Cohen of www.d-42.com...apparently the true scores from previous weeks changed his mind.

* * * * *

The Gleeful Extremist is expecting a boy and is taking a poll for a name. Of course, he is legally bound to name the kid whatever wins the vote.

* * * * *

So, I just launched a new website, which pretty much sucks right now. I wrote an ass kissing article for my boss called ” Cookies, Bikes, Pizza and Perks- Why I Love my job” Dan says you can check out this poopfest here, if you are brave enough.

* * * * *

My worst post of the week in which I ask if you are calling me fat? (Mad Anthony – the answer is yes)!
