Absence and an Anniversary
Posted by Frank J. at 06:09 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (38)

I am leaving tomorrow to visit my family in Idaho for all of next week, and, since I don't get to see my family often, I'm not going to blog so I'm not focused on that.

But, Friday, July 9th, is my second blogiversary, and I don't want a bunch of blank pages leading up to "International Link to IMAO Day" where everyone must link to IMAO or be derided and heckled. Thus, I've pre-written some posts for next Monday through Friday. There will be a new post on Monday, classic IMAO with commentary and director's cuts Tuesday through Thursday, and then some new posts for blogiversary on Friday plus a surprise... and I mean a "have a change of underwear handy and keep your heart medication in reach" surprise.

Until then, I really like the idea of doing a non-writing piece; namely a documentary on the left. It would probably be easiest to just collect quotes and pictures and do a flash animation with us doing voiceovers. So, is anyone familiar with doing animation? Any other ideas on how to do a documentary? And who is willing to help in some way? Discuss in the comments. This will be the first Frank J. production, so it should be big!

If I don't see you before then, have a great Independence Day!

Happy Blogiversary, Frank!

You remember your Blog's Anniversary, but do you also remember you and your wife's?

Hoping for many more:

Jack.

#3 - Posted by: Imperial Lamplighter: LC Jack Deth on July 2, 2004 06:49 PM

doggone, why'd i enter that contest, then?

#4 - Posted by: sarahk on July 2, 2004 07:06 PM

Frank's not married, BUT he does have a big announcement to make. Hmmmmmm....do ya think??!!

#5 - Posted by: jonag on July 2, 2004 08:10 PM

*whistling while twiddling my thumbs and humming*

#6 - Posted by: jonag on July 2, 2004 08:15 PM

oh, and I thought this week sucked. grrrrr.

#7 - Posted by: maggie katzen on July 2, 2004 08:36 PM

You didn't like my postings this week?

#8 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 2, 2004 09:37 PM

Oh YES! Finally something I can do to help my favorite person, Frank J., whose blogiversary happens to be on my brother's (who is now in Airforce Basic) birthday. It's destiny. I remember last years blogiversay like it was just yesterday...

But seriously Frank, I can help, I'm an *expert* at flash animation. If you need proof, here are three of my finest works!

Alright nevermind your comments provider won't let me link to my flash videos. If you actually want to see them, I link to them on my own blog. They are called Ninja, Ninja 2, and My Childhood.

Arn't those awesome!?

oh, no, no no, not the posts, sorry, oh great one! it was the having a shouting match with my boss at work and packing my desk up. but, we all calmed down and I told them I'd work another month and they better get crackin' on finding a replacement. cause when my husband get's back from afghanistan I am out of there! anyway, it made for an akward week.

#10 - Posted by: maggie katzen on July 2, 2004 10:01 PM

Oh, crap, sorry my links disappeared! Your comments won't let me hyperlink to my flash movies! I'll just have to do this:

http://tfu.netfirms .com/ninjam.swf

http://tfu.netfirms .com/ninja2.swf

http://tfu.netfirms .com/childhood.swf

#11 - Posted by: Reed the Viking on July 3, 2004 12:56 AM

Aww crap, theres not supposed to be a space between netfirms and .com

#12 - Posted by: Reed the Viking on July 3, 2004 12:59 AM

Did I ever tell you about when I lived in Chicago? Michael Moore stopped and asked me directions: "Do you know how to get to 394?"

I replied, "You ever try Jenny Craig?"

#13 - Posted by: Nick on July 3, 2004 03:14 AM

Frank, in honor of your blogiversary I'm considering celebrating my birthday on the same day, i mean is there any other day that's better?

#14 - Posted by: Dr. BootyGrabber on July 3, 2004 03:55 AM

Aw. I was going to announce that I'm marrying sarahk, but, since the surprise is ruined, it's all called off.

Reed the Viking,
Cool. We need some one good at animating ninjas.

#15 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 3, 2004 09:26 AM

AAAAAAHHHHH! don't let them ruin it for us, baby!

#16 - Posted by: sarahk on July 3, 2004 10:34 AM

Frank -- if you and SaraK are getting married would you adopt me? I'm 17 and Republican. Uhh...I am a 2-year Varsity swimmer at my high school. I'll beat people up if you want (so you don't have to get your hands dirty). Please Frank, I need cool parents. Well, you'd be the cool one, SaraK would be the really hot mom.

Mmmm...MILF...

#17 - Posted by: Tim E. on July 3, 2004 12:22 PM

Awwwwwww, crap!

My apologies Frank and Sarahk... Looks like my joke kinda backfired.

Please don't sic Chomps on me!

#18 - Posted by: Imperial Lamplighter: LC Jack Deth on July 3, 2004 12:29 PM

I think the surprise might be some kind of really cool interview. Maybe even a real one.

I think Frank needs to start a regular series of "20 questions" like they do in Playboy. He could arrange to send the questions to whomever the interviewee of the week is, and then we loyal readers can send in our entries for things to ask, like we did for Kerry and Moore. That would make it a superneatokeen way for the whole IMAO community to participate.

#19 - Posted by: dvgulliver on July 3, 2004 01:16 PM

safe and happy independence day.thanks for the two years of good reading!!

#20 - Posted by: jonboy on July 3, 2004 02:10 PM

Have a good time in the Big Sky Country. And remember, stay away from Ted Turner's land.

Bill Clinton's daily updated blog.

#22 - Posted by: Limp on July 3, 2004 05:59 PM

Hey, Limp, Bill Clinton's blog is hilarious. "I almost died today. After doing a book signing, I ate 20 catfishes."

What kind of moron eats 20 fish? You'd think his stomach would be screaming after 5 or 6 of em.

#23 - Posted by: Steve on July 3, 2004 06:23 PM

A while ago I started work on a documentary, but I ditched it when I found out about "Michael Moore Hates America."

I did have time to photoshop up a couple pictures:

The poster:

And this... to prove that he's actually a Republican in disguise just trying to make the left look bad.

A very candid photograph, this one:

I like to eat paint!

John Adams on July 4th

"I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival."

"it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward for ever more."

#26 - Posted by: Murder T. Left on July 4, 2004 09:39 AM

don't be hatin'.

#27 - Posted by: sarahk on July 4, 2004 03:33 PM

This is not a blog for classless people. All trolls must take the next exit.

#28 - Posted by: jonag on July 4, 2004 04:34 PM

The village of idiots at the democratic underground deserve to be made fun of...I don't think you could run out of material with a steaming dung heap that big.
Oh, and happy 4th
and happy anniversary, Frank...
I love you.
There, I've said it.

#29 - Posted by: betamax on July 4, 2004 05:44 PM

Happy 4th of July, Mr. Frank J!

#30 - Posted by: Serenity on July 4, 2004 08:45 PM

Oh, and "Your Mother" watch your mouth when you talk about sarahk. Didn't "your mother" teach you any manners in how to properly address a lady?

Pig.

#31 - Posted by: Serenity on July 4, 2004 08:49 PM

I love sarah K. and I will kill for her I am gonna kill you yourmother. Die Die Die!!!

Ok I am ok now. Are you ok SarahK?

#32 - Posted by: Joshua on July 4, 2004 09:23 PM

'Your Mother' is obviously some zit ravaged, pocket protector, pizza faced Troll Larva in Cyber~Drag. Who really should know better than to barge in while Adults are talking.

thank you all for defending my honor, y'all are nice.

#34 - Posted by: sarahk on July 5, 2004 12:29 AM

"Your Mother," that was just plain rude, no barbecue dinner for you. SarahK is not as you describe her. Go read a book or something. I may have to slash your tires now.

#35 - Posted by: Andy on July 5, 2004 08:29 AM

Man, don't pay attention for a couple days and everything goes to hell...

Anyone who insults SarahK or eats paint chips gains my wrath as well!

#36 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 5, 2004 12:21 PM

:)

#37 - Posted by: sarahk on July 5, 2004 06:12 PM

I say anyone who insults Sarahk has obviously already been eating paint chips! I say we serve him up some teeth chips!
