What Was She Thinking?!

Did you think I'd give it up that easily? You gotta clicky on the linky...

It's just about time for the Fifth Annual Boobiethon, where bloggers -- male and female alike -- bare their breasts for breast cancer. All proceeds from the 'Thon go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I participated in 2003 and 2004, and plan to again this year. In fact, a thumbnail of this year's submission can be seen in my "Personal" photo album (sorry, Friends only!). Stay tuned, as this year's Boobiethon launches on October 1.

And .. I'd like to prevail upon some of my favorite men to send their shots in too. It's all for a good cause, so guys, what are you waiting for?! Rip off that shirt and get in front of the camera!

Update: Here are some shots of mens' chests amongst the photos from last year's BoobieThon. Just so you guys know what to submit! :-)

Update 2: To save you all the trouble of hovering over those pesky links, below is a list of the guys I am hoping will contribute to the cause by throwing caution -- and their tee shirts -- to the wind.. Guys, go to the BoobieThon site and bookmark it; check back well before October 1 for details on how to submit your photos. And if you do decide to participate, THANK YOU!!!

Richard (Musickna), Marcus (FXM256), Roger (rogerleos), Ivan (SerbianFighter), Q-ELL (makeqfit), Lagged2Death, Joe (J-O-E), Lokutus Prime, Ben (Bennox), David (davidcrickett), Jon (Organic Chunky Salsa), Elmar (E. Driver), Dave (devans186), Brian (brianj), CykoPhysh, and Dan (HeathenDan).

Update 3: I've crossed through the names of male bloggers above who have agreed to contribute chest shots for the Boobiethon. Way to go, guys. And thanks for your contributions! :-)

There's nothing to see here .. move along. Mkay?

Trisha (a/k/a Watts-Her-Face) is asleep now and I've started my shift of the 2006 Blogathon. So go on over and keep me company, will you? Right now, I'm downstairs on the laptop but so that there will be no temptation to migrate to the nice soothing fresh made bed, I will probably head upstairs to the loft where my desktop is. And there ain't nothing up there but a secretarial chair and hardwood floors. Not likely to sneak any zzzzz's there, huh?

You're still here? Go! Shoo. Scram. Gah.

Hey everybody, I'm gearing up for the 2006 Blog-a-thon coming up in a couple of weeks. It's been a while since I participated as a blogger, but I remember how much fun it was and how satisfying it is to see my blogged-for charity get a little money. Here are the specifics:

Date: July 29, 2006, 9PM EDT to July 30, 2006, 9PM EDT, 24 fun filled hours, boys and girls!
Blogging Partner: Trisha Watts at BabyGotBlog.com
Charity we are blogging for: United Cerebral Palsy
What you can do to help: Sponsor Us, Dammit!. Oh, and dropping in occasionally to slap us back to life and help keep us awake and blogging would be appreciated!

Like the banner? It was created by my web design partner, Ivan Minic. Thanks Ivan, and yes, I guess we believe you when you say you could find NO OTHER image but that one of the breasts spilling out to there and back for our banner. Gah! Men! :-)

I might have hit on a great way to make some extra money in my spare time. (Not by spamming you, either.) You know those personals/dating sites out there? I cruise around them from time to time - not because I'm looking, but just out of sheer curiosity. The same reason one might put one's finger in a light socket. Anyway, it occurs to me that quite a number of these people's ads are just poorly written. They are trite, full of cliches, misspellings, grammar misusages, etc. The English major in me positively cringes in horror sometimes.

Now I realize that not everyone is looking for Henry Higgins. Especially in the bedroom. And especially on those sites. But if you really want to put your best foot forward and at least give the appearance of erudition (everyone knows you're pretty much lying through your teeth unless you come out and say you are a fat, unemployed day laborer with a raging case of herpes anyway), then you need to get that ad copy cleaned up.

Don't be like that guy I saw recently who proclaimed to have a "genious IQ of 147." Go ahead and roll your eyes; I sure as hell did. Only question I have, and here's where you can help me, dear readers, is.... How much should I charge?

Phone lines are open; operators are standing by.
