Welcome to another edition of Smorgashboard Sunday.  Believe it or not, this is the first Smorgashboard of 2009!!!  That’s either evidence of its complete unimportance or a shining example of my laziness.  Like those “Make Your Own Quest” books… you decide!  On with the Snacking…

Poppy is making sure that you don’t confuse her with anyone else.  I know… it isn’t like you could… she’s one of a kind…

Avitable has demonstrated how to properly do a product review.  Mommy Blogger Wannabe Product Review Moguls take note…

They should call it a blowfun! from Adam Avitable on Vimeo.

Best. Product Review. Ever.

Dave had a close encounter of the monster donut kind while on his Cologne, Germany trip.  If a regular glazed from Dunkin’ Donuts is around 450 calories, then that donut must be… around 5 days worth of calories.

Shiny completed his week of Plagarism 2009 while skirting legal issues…

Mizdayneem b’Tapud!!!

LeSombre recounted his uber-Africa odyssey in only one blog post!  I would have totally milked that for at least a week.  Really.

Sarcastica is at the 26 week mark and apparently enjoying every moment of it (except the constant need to pee).  Just wait ‘til the teething starts… oh boy!

Soda‘s job isn’t all work and no play… she has a decent amount of eye candy around her!  I mean really… recliners… she couldn’t have found any way to try them out???  Must.  Socialize.  Harder.

DutchBitch is on holiday in London with Penelope.  What’s the first thing she does?  Drink wine of course!!!  Yeah London’s calling alright… and they’re saying, “Get this DutchBitch out our city!!!  She’s drinkin’ us dry!!!”

Normally I keep my links restricted to personal blogs, but today I’m going to link to a blog post I think all bloggers should read.  It is 13 Quick Tips To Make Your Blog STAND OUT From The Crowd from Darren Rowse.  Seriously, there is some very good advice in just that one post… but his archives are chock full of the stuff.

Finally…

Whall is keeping it real by wishing a Happy Birthday to a true American Idol.  Do you know why Iran released the American hostages on Inauguration Day in 1981?  Because they didn’t want to chance messing with Ronni Ray-gun…

So that wraps up this week’s Smorgashboard Sunday!  I hope you enjoyed it… and don’t forget that if you are thinking about attending TequilaCon ‘09, you might want to listen to the TalkCast Lick. Slam. Suck. on Monday night.  This week Poppy and I will be discussing specifically the nightlife in Santa Fe, a Tequila oriented beverage, and profiling more interesting Santa Fe bloggers.

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.
