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:
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 snacked upon today, all you need to do is copy and past the code:
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.
Unless you cry, whine, send me e-mail messages begging me to feature you, send e-cards with links to the posts 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 that week, 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 Smorgashboard 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.
