Smorgashboard Sunday
As 2008 comes to an end, I’ve decided to come up with a few lists of a few different
thingsbloggers I think you may find interesting along the lines of what I did in The Lists 2007. For further information, be sure to read the disclaimer at the end.
Now it is no secret that I am all about Personal Bloggers (hence why this List is twice as long as the rest). Being one myself, there is a certain kindred amongst them along the same lines as the innocent childhood game of I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours, minus having your mother smack the crap out of you… usually. So here are the bloggers that I found to be the most personal of 2008 and I look forward to continuing our “little game” straight on through 2009:
Poppy Cedes - There are usually two types of Personal Bloggers, journalers and chroniclers. Poppy Cede fulfills both those roles magnificently. Everything from her daily commute, to a not so mundane meme, to events big, and events small are blogged about… and dare I say it… she probably does a better job than her wonderful, illustrious, handsome, and eccentric boyfriend does when chronicling his daily goings on as well. One of the wonderful things about Poppy, at least in my opinion, is her very unique perspective on things… which really makes you re-examine how you saw something from your own perspective. She also loves cereal, so that in itself is points galore. Have I mentioned her extremely hot boyfriend?
Dave2 - I was really torn into where I should stick Blogography this year, because there was no doubt he was making it onto one of these Lists… he’s just that damn good. I chose this one because he is the proof against the blogging philosophy that No One Wants To Know What You Had For Lunch. I want to know what Dave2 had for lunch each and everyday… because I know that somehow he will make it funny, interesting, or a statement on the sad condition of Streamliner stock at Johnny Rockets worldwide. There is no greater power for a Personal Blogger… to make the mundane extraordinary and the extraordinary pale in comparison to the mundane. He also has mad illustration skillz that make me laugh and provide me with about 30% of my wardrobe. He’s like the Swiss Army knife of bloggers. Seriously.
Hilly - It’s one thing to know someone, but I totally different thing to truly know one’s self. Personal Blogging is not just about getting to know someone else… it is also about the journey of self-discovery through introspection. This is something that we find Hilly doing quite often. Her travels down the path of finding her inner being draw us along for the ride both to discover new things about her and new layers about ourselves while providing us the tools to be able to see one of the most wonderful sights one can imagine… the gift of sight from someone else’s perspective. Did I mention that the whole time she’s doing it she’s totally funabulous? I definitely think one of her defining moments was saying grace to Sweet Baby Jesus over the Tequila… Hillarious…
Amy - Now I have something to confess, when I first met Amy at the Hot Blogger Calendar Dinner I had her pegged as a “tech princess”. You know the kind… modern looks, cappuccino sipping, moderate gadget usage normally limited to the newest Nokia model or maybe even THE iPhone without the slightest clue as to what HTML is. Thankfully I was so wrong! She’s a happily married mom who works in the tech field with code and programming… but you would never know it from just idly perusing her blog. She shares everything across the board… great times, bad times, and most recently her Twilight times. Yes, she’s a Twilight fan, but don’t hold that against her… because she’s going to Disney in 2009 so she obviously hasn’t been totally sucked into the vampire life! Amy’s pretty much always a good light hearted read and definitely someone you should check out if you haven’t already.
Miss Ann Thrope - Anyone who knows anything about Star Wars knows that every Padawan needs a Master. Miss Ann happens to be my own personal Yoda. While I thought that PHP was the true knowledge strength in blogging, she instructed me otherwise. Honesty, transparency, and a willingness to both share and defend your viewpoint intelligently were key to becoming a strong Personal Blogger. She continues practicing these very values, whether it be blogging about The Sims or the often tragic events of Darwinism in action, to this very day. Don’t be fooled though… her hard fought reputation as the Komodo Dragon Lady of the Blogosphere is still intact. She will gladly rip your genitals out and shove them down your gullet… for which you will say, “Thank you. May I have another?”, because at least she has done it with the sword of honesty.
Lisa - I’ve been reading Lisa for quite a long time… back when she was known as The Rock Bitch and through her current manifestation at Clusterfook. Evolving, as many of us bloggers do, she has always kept truthful to her readers and most importantly, I believe she has remained truthful to herself. Through the ups and downs she has always been unapologetic when her honesty and transparency seemed a little harsh for the world to see. Even now, although being unrelentingly pummeled by the physical side effects of chemotherapy in her third battle with Ovarian Cancer, she’s keeping it as true as possible when she is physically capable. It’s reality. It’s personal. It’s what Lisa is all about… and what we should all strive to be.
B.E. Earl - Now here’s a guy living the life in the suburbs of New York City, and has probably gone to more cool places in Manhattan than I have which is a pretty sad state of affairs considering I’m now spending most of my day on that damn island. B.E. Earl is a great chronicler of his many adventures into dining venues that I’ve only read about in The Village Voice. He also has a quirky sense of humor (my favorite kind), is a beer connoisseur, and runs a Daily Trivia Challenge that all the cool bloggers are doing. B.E. Earl (the B.E. stands for Bug Eyed by the way) is as fine a purveyor of interesting tid-bits as he is a chronicler, so even on days when he really hasn’t gone anywhere (because really… every now and then it’s nice to just stay the fuck home in your jammies) you’re guaranteed something worth your while.
Crys - Last year Crys was listed as one of The 2007 Most Entertaining Bloggers for her Midnight Therapy With Crystal. This year, Crys has had some changes go on including some changes to her blog that is now called Clearly Crystal. Change is not always bad… and these changes she made remind us of that very fact. What clearly hasn’t changed is the power of her wisdom, introspection, and perspective. No longer exclusive to video (although there is still plenty of that), they are shared in a myriad of formats (although she continues to deny ease of mobility through podcast)… and maybe it’s just me… but I feel I see more of Moose now than I ever have before. What can I say, I love the Moose.
Soda - One of my oldest and dearest reads, Soda is a complete and total sharer. Now don’t let her URL fool you… she’s no longer in Las Vegas. Now she’s in the wonderful state of Kentucky and working damn hard for her money. She painstakingly chronicled that journey through her blog and continues to take us along for the ride like a reality show without the over acting and annoying blonde drama queen. She shares it all… the good… the bad… the happy… the sad… and she always gives you a new perspective to look at things from with just a simple twist to the system.
Wayne Hall - As classic a diarist as you will find utilizing today’s technology to document his daily routine, both in words and in his 3-Minute DITL videos. Wayne also finds the time to speak out on technology issues that affect the blogging community and assist the not so technical blogger in harnessing the power of their install to its greatest potential by translating Geek into English. As one of the few fellow Republican bloggers, Wayne is always able to put things into a perspective I’m familiar with and at times into a point of view I am not as versed on… such as Guitar Hero. I know… I’m such a fuddy-duddy… luckily Wayne isn’t and he will take you where you yourself may not be ready to travel.
As a reward for being the best of the best for 2008… I designed this complex thing-a-ma-bob for those who may want to display their Listed status proudly:
Additionally… because I am beyond benevolent and loving contrary to what some people believe… here is the code for you to use with a permalink directly to this post. So if your blog was Listed upon today, all you need to do is copy and past the code:
The Lists is a yearly compilation of interesting bloggers that I currently read. Due to the volume of blogs and the 10 blogger limit, there may be authors who do not appear. This is not to say that you did not have a good blog, or an important blog, or even a blog I did not read because in all likelihood I do indeed read it. This simply means that for that year that you are excluded… well… I thought other bloggers were better choices for the Listing. This does not mean I don’t like you, I don’t love you, or that I don’t read you. It just means that for that year(s), I chose other bloggers but there is always the possibility of next year. Unless.
Unless you cry, whine, send me e-mail messages begging me to feature you, send e-cards with links to the blogs you want linked, tell me how I don’t love you, tell me how I don’t like you, tell me how sad you are, tell me how I don’t read you even though you know I did because I commented at some point, and/or try to muscle me with threats of large “goombas” paying a visit. If you do any of that… then hold your breathe until you see yourself on the Lists again. While your doing that… go get a white hat and get yourself some Smurfberry Pie ‘cause you’ll be blue before you see it.

As 2008 comes to an end, I’ve decided to come up with a few lists of a few different
thingsbloggers I think you may find interesting along the lines of what I did in The Lists 2007. For further information, be sure to read the disclaimer at the end.
Let’s face it people, this is the internet. This is where I go for both my entertainment purposes of which laughter is an absolute requirement due to the serious nature of my day to day life. So here are the bloggers that I found to be the funniest of 2008 (in no particular order) and am looking forward to them continuing to tickle the funny bone in 2009:
Avitable - Usually when his name is mentioned the first two words that pop into my mind are Dolphin Porn. However, he is far beyond just the simple Sea World Bestiality videos… the man is a satiric comic genius. He’s usually good for tears rolling down my cheeks once a week, if not two… and he doesn’t even use a ball gag to do it. THAT, ladies and gentleman, is skill. Besides his obvious humor and honesty to himself, he throws some pretty kick ass parties. The best part… he doesn’t talk during movies while Iron Man is opening up a can’o’whoop ass on the screen… making him a polite cinema date as well.
LeSombre - There is something more to be said about Canada than “eh”. That something would be “meh”… which unofficially is LeSombre‘s calling card. Mike impresses me with both his candor and non-chalance about the things around him. “Oh look, a vital bridge to the city has been closed because it may collapse at any moment!”, cry the citizens of Canadia. “I guess it will take me 2 hours instead of 20 minutes to get to work. Meh.”, would be Mike’s reply. He also has very impressive a cappella skills while sitting around a table at a hotel bar surrounded by Vulcans and Klingons.
Shiny - Now here’s a guy who would have no problem with me walking into Nish Knosh on Kings Highway in Brooklyn, whipping out a ham and cheese on rye with mayo, and chowing down at the same table while he had a bagel with some lox on it for lunch. Shiny‘s sense of humor, dare I say it, is far more wittier than my own AND he carries the intellectuality to back it up. His constant running meme “On The 3’s” really does run the gamut, and you can always find him approaching matters of seriousness with a little wink and a corner of the mouth grin. Sure there are times when I sit there and say to myself, “What the fuck?”… but a few hours later there will usually be an “Oooohhh!” that escapes my lips. It’s a cerebral thing… and there are very few people able to do that.
Boh3m3 - I first ran across Ben when I was spending alot of time on YouTube. He was considered one of their YouTube Stars, and often received video views in the tens of thousands. Like a bunch of the others, his star on YouTube dimmed and he moved himself over to blogging. Unlike a bunch of the others, he continues to persevere in the cruel blogosphere where becoming a star is much harder than it appears. The bottom line on him… he can definitely make me laugh hard, although his frequency of doing so is erratic. It’s erratic not from content, but from the frequency of the content. Still… he’s a funny fucker when he wants to be and he still got to bang Caitlin Hill. My hero.
Neil Kramer - What is there that can be said about Neil that hasn’t been said about the others? He has a white template. Did you find that funny? If you did, you’ll love Neil. He’s like the Jerry Seinfeld of the blogosphere. He smoozes with the mommy bloggers, drinks the coffee at McDonald’s, and I wouldn’t doubt it if HE was the one to bring a ham and cheese with mayo into the Knish Knosh on Queens Boulevard. His posts are usually of a rather long form but it is that astute attention to detailing description that makes his writing superior to that of even She Who Shall Not Be Named. Plus, he’s actually sarcastic and dryly funny of which She Who Shall Not Be Named wishes she was.

So it’s been a little while since I sat down and offered you some awesome morsels from the table of my blogosphere feast. Before we get on with The Snacking… I just want to point out something to those people who say, ”Oh, no one could never read more than 50 blogs even in an RSS Reader.” Interestingly enough… I now consume over 400 personal blogs via RSS FeedReader. There is some dead wood in there, but those blogs haven’t hit the six month mark of no activity so I haven’t removed them. It is in fact very very possible to read that many blogs. It may be hard to do so on a daily basis, and it is true that it leaves less time for good commentary, but it is possible… so do not say it is not. It may not be possible for you, but luckily you have me for who it is possible for to pull the cream to the top. With that said, allow me to give you the best from my blogosphere for the past week… let The Snacking begin!!!
This week Poppy revealed the shoes she bought for
meherself. They totally go with her bad ass persona as she walks around NYC throwing the Hello Kitty Gang Signs.
Travelocity ain’t got nothin’ on Miss Britt. Her 5 Ways To Travel On A Budget prove that even in this economic downturn, we can still have the adventures we crave. Unfortunately she forgot Tip #6, bring her with you. She is most awesome at asking directions from street vendors who send you the wrong way and finding a bright side… such as crossing an iconic bridge the size of Mt. Everest.
Of course you could just skip the tips and do what Brian did, and live your dreams today while worrying about tomorrow when it comes. Personally, I would have turned around at the sight of the prop plane.
As expected though, Dave2 has the ultimate tips for iPhone users who have the 2.2 upgrade and the best podcast to enjoy while traveling. Who can argue with his exquisite taste in podcasts? Certainly not I.
Karl is another person with exquisite podcast taste. His 2HR Podcast is available on iTunes as well… and he’s saving up for a Mac. Another Windows loyalist is converted to the cult of i.
If for some reason you find yourself traveling with Avitable, and you have small children, leave them at home. He hates them. I can’t say I blame him, especially since he’s already adverse to flying, but it’s really easy to remedy. You just need to B.A. Baracus his ass. Drink the milk. It’s good for you.
Tori is going to be travelling to Sin City Las Vegas itself, and is looking for some tips that are Las Vegas specific. I suggest going to (INSERT WHATEVER SODA SUGGESTS HERE). Good times… good times…
For those of you who traveled through The World of Chad, well he’s gone and gotten himself engaged. He’s also done blogging. He didn’t even say “I do” yet and already she’s chained him to the radiator in the basement.
My favorite Canadia blogger Mike has found the secret Third Circle of Hell right here on earth. Finally those Canadia‘s are getting a taste of our own medicine, eh?
Turnbaby totally put my own haiku skills to shame with a haiku compilation of her own. I will turn in my bonsai quill and commit the proper form of haiku seppeku now.
Hilly got a new look for the holidays AND she got a box of Velvet cake mix… or is it? Personally… I. Am. Jealous. I
me the velvet cake with cream cheese frosting… oh yes I do.
DutchBitch has been sending correspondence to a certain someone with photos attached. Is it bad that I really wanted a better look at the bookcase because I need a new one? Yeah. I thought so.
On our political agenda this week, we’re going to stick it to that carpetbagging Hilary Clinton one more time… and we’re going to DEMAND that Faiqa become the new Secretary of State. If the power of bloggers can make a working mother of three apologize for a silly little ad that was a bit too honest (yes, apparently there is such a thing), then we can get this done in no time. Someone start the tweets with #Faiqaforstate so we can get this party started.
And finally…
With the gift giving season coming up, Craftastrophe happened to highlight this hand-made doll that will most likely give some little girl nightmares. Seriously people… stick with that ho Barbie this gift giving season… at least she won’t cause prevalent psychological damage. What’s a little underlying body image issue amongst friends?
That wraps it up for this edition of the Sunday Smorgashboard. Have a good week… and blog hard!
As a reward for feeding me with my internal thirst for reading materials… I designed this simple button for those who may want to display their Snacked upon status proudly:

Smorgashboard Sunday is a weekly compilation of interesting posts, pictures, and videos that I have found within the 350+ feeds of personal or personal related blogs that I currently read. Due to the volume of blogs and the 10-12 posts I limit myself to comment on, there may be times when posts that you author do not appear. This is not to say that you did not have a good post, or an important post, or even a post I did not read because in all likelihood I did indeed read it. This simply means that for that week(s) that you are excluded… well… I thought other posts were better choices for the Snacking. This does not mean I don’t like you, I don’t love you, or that I don’t read you. It just means that for that week(s), I chose other posts but there is always the possibility of next week. Unless.

If you do any of that… then hold your breathe until you see yourself on the Smorgashboard again.

Welcome to the Hot Blogger Calendar Shoot Edition of the Sunday Smorgashboard!!! You really didn’t think I wasn’t going to Smorgashboard this special event, did you? So here’s the opportunity for you to read about the experiences of the photo shoot by the OTHER hot(ter) bloggers… snack away!
I think the general consensus amongst the spectators about Amy was that not only was she oozing uber-hawtness while rocking the shoot with confidence but that her accompanying entourage was uber-awesome as well. While I am a firm believer the clothes don’t make the person, and the person makes the person, little did we know that she almost left the little blue dress at the hotel! As Heather, Amy’s sister points out, at least she finally found
MeccaThe Apple Store.
Miss Britt was very astute in her observations that Queens is not like Manhattan, and there is no shame in flats. I just wish she had observed that walking to Chinatown via directions given by a street vendor is not necessarily the quickest, most direct route to get spring rolls via the Brooklyn Bridge.
Backpacking Dad delved further in-depth and added photos based on all of his Twitter updates from the weekend… proving that there are times when 140 characters just aren’t enough.
Busy Dad is so busy that he rolled his post in with his recreation and posted a recounting of his experience in a limerick Mad Libs Style. He even got a photo of the Lego Chewbacca from FAO Schwartz… proving that the Force is strong with that one.
Ericka had quite a bit of trouble with her bags thanks to JetBlue. Little did she realize that I live, literally, 1.2 miles away from their Corporate Worldwide Headquarters. Cherry bombs down the toilets work wonders. Just sayin’.
Josh from The Comics Curmudgeon joined forces with Francesco and ended up lighting a house on fire. Drew Barrymore ain’t got nothing on the bloggers of The Hot Blogger Calendar!
Jill gives an interesting diary perspective seeing as how she was the first blogger on the shoot schedule. There is positively nothing wrong with au’natural… of that I can assure you.
If Peter Shankman could be defined in only one photograph, then this would be the one. But let’s face it, between HARO, his traveling, his recreational activities and everything else… could but one photo truly define the absolute complexity? I think not… but then again I haven’t seen the final photo either.
Of course the dynamic organizing duo of Jane and Sarah have their own perspectives of the whole day as well. Sarah took a broader look at the whole experience by the numbers while Jane did a quick overview with an added compendium worth 177,000 words.
Sharon proved that you didn’t need to win in the votes to have a fantastic HBC experience. Of course… re-reading her post tells me why Poppy has Grape Nuts on the shopping list…
And finally…
Even though I was fully prepared to use milk in a B.A. Baracus type travel arrangement, Avitable didn’t make it to New York for the photo shoot. Instead he submitted his own photo… which promptly got rejected for the leaves in the pool.
So that’s a wrap on this edition of the Smorgashboard… have a good week and don’t forget to blog hard…

Welcome to the 75th Edition of the Sunday Smorgashboard. It’s been a few weeks since the last time I did one… and it’ll probably be a few weeks until the next time I do one… but in either case… here is your Diamond Star Studded Sugary Sweet Edition of the best treats my blogosphere has to offer. Enjoy!
It’s no big secret that my formula to dressing for success includes a healthy dose of Artificial Duck wear. Well, Dave is not only an excellent fashion consultant, he is an excellent researcher into the dark side of candidates who should be tarred, feathered, and then hung for betraying their own. I can totally understand where he’s coming from in his passion behind that post… as I mentioned to someone earlier this week, usually healthcare issues are my own “bitch button” topics.
Speaking of healthcare, Avitable happened to chance upon one of those touchy subjects regarding morals and drugs. Of course, after some healthy debate I felt the need to post about it myself from the bigger perspective as I see it… because it is all about me afterall. If you haven’t already weighed in with your own view, then you should do so now!
Speaking of drugs, Poppy related her tale of venturing into the city to meet with Finn and Neil for a crack like experience at a local eatery. It’s all about the mac’n’cheese… all about the mac’n’cheese…
Speaking of out of town adventures, it seems that Karl had his car keys jacked. You would think he would have been smart enough to take off the Republican Elephant keychain before putting them down.
Speaking of elephants, Hello haha narf had a great post about an advertisement featuring an elephant. The fact it featured the elephant wasn’t the great part, but rather the message it tries to convey.
Speaking of messages, if you haven’t already wished a very happy birthday to the lovely and talented Sodapop, then what the fuck do I pay you for? Bastards. Go. Go now. Go now or no soup for you!
Speaking of domestic dominatrix punishment, DutchBitch is once again whoopin’ that trick as she pimps out another unwilling blogger who is sure to tickle your fancies and teach you to breathe. In through the nose… out through the mouth…
Speaking of mouths, Mr. Fabulous has once again let the roar out and declared himself as Blogger Emeritus. As sort of an “elder statesman” of the blogosphere, it remains to be seen what type of wardrobe he will be choosing during his appointment. For some reason the word “Emeritus” invokes a toga in my mind’s eye.
Speaking of eyes, Miss Britt has finally put the photo finish on her photoblog. Of course, so far the picture of the clown nose in the header seems to be the crowd pleaser… hmmm… black and white photo… red colored in… I wonder where I’ve seen THAT before???
Speaking of finality, Simon has a 100 word carnival going and this week’s writing centered around the finality of it all.
