Bloggers Unite – A Cause Worth Fighting For

I’m one who usually stays away from trendy causes, but Don of Anger Management has come up with something that get my full support – making me rich and famous by the end of 2004.
I think this is such a great idea I’m going to put ninety percent… no, make that a hundred percent of my salary behind this. Don makes some great points. I am much funnier than Dave Barry with little time to devote to this, and, if I was rich and famous so I could spend more time coming up with humor, I’m sure I could come up with stuff so funny to make what’s on this blog now look like utter crap.
Also, think of all the prestige I’d bring to the blogosphere by being rich and famous; all the other blogs would get more traffic as a result. Plus, all of you could tell people how you knew Frank J. before he was rich and famous, enthralling everyone with your stories.
So who wants to join this grand movement? Charter members will get to ride on my yacht. And remember, I’ll be doing all the hard work of actually being rich and famous, while you get the benefits of knowing someone who is rich and famous. I have my own ideas of how to become rich and famous, Don has his, but more would be useful.
I think I might want a different acronym for the movement than Don came up with, though; something about it just rubs me wrong.
On the subject of making me rich, I think we’re about out of Nuke the Moon t-shirts. Only XL size is left. The new t-shirt is currently still in the planning stages, and I’ll tell you more as I know more. I still plan to post more Peace Gallery photos, especially when my lazy brother finally gets me his, but I lost some sent to me when all me e-mails were wiped out.
A special In My World™ is scheduled for tomorrow. I’m doing it on a Friday since it’s not political. Since I don’t have work tomorrow, I plan to sleep in, so don’t expect the post to appear in the wee hours of the morn. The next chapter of Yvonne’s Ashes – Lost in Ninja Forest – will come next week.
Now make me rich and famous!
UPDATE: Last shirt has been sold… but I still want more money!

  1. Frank, on the surface this is a brilliant idea however I worry that once you are rich you will lose your edge.
    Y’know like the Stones or the Simpsons.
    I’d prefer that you be medium famous like the South Park guys who are much funnier now that their moment in the sun is over (so to speak).
    In the meantime will you accept worthless Canadian dollars?

    my life experience is that when people become rich, they lose their sense of humor. also, rich people seldom want to kill anyone, although i guess o.j. and the monkey with a knife who was just tried for murder in beaumont, texas belie that theory.
    however, that is not the reason for my post. i just read the post by chris ball regarding your article about canada ( i think), in which he alluded to the fact that America is a dangerous country. that is actually the only thing he got right. we are dangerous. so if by chance anyone reads this who is from syria, iraq, iran, or saudia arabia, and wishes us harm, watch out! we may just send the marines back in to wipe out the entire population. or maybe just rummy.

  3. Me-me-me-me-me! I wanna be a groupie!!!
    ahem I mean, I would find it a great honor to be a Chartet Member of the club, dear boy. This weekend, I shall upend the sofa, and anything resembling $$$ which emerges is yours.
    Onward to riches and fame for Frank!

  4. Frank, this blog is my ‘Doonesbury’ but without the pictures and is a lot more funny and insightful. If the Movement considers another name, how about one with your trademark “muckadoo” in it? (Although right off the bat, you can probably scratch out “Muckadoo About Nothing.”) Maybe “Muckadoomed,” since your prose is to muckadoos what MOABs are to OBL’s cave rats.

  5. Rirliw, your prose is not understandable to me, but there is a reason to this, which is that you are a Grooweckaflook.
    I am in war against the Grooweckaflooks and I am killing all of them, with a sniffer.
    I have read the largeamericanpenis, I read here about the long Frank J. American penis, so long that it beyond the statue of the Liberty, but Rirliw, you are the short American idea. To be short, your post are shorts. Aren’t you too tired reading the other people’s blog and writting nothing on yours ?

  6. No, Amphi. And you can’t snuff out all the Groowhatevers because most live offworld on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, 19th, and 23rd moons of Jupiter. BTW, how’s your cat? (Sorry about the koroish length of this and my last post.)

  7. Nah, don’t worry about him lossing his edge when he gets rich. From what I’ve seen of rich people, they just get edgier, er more edjary, ah where is my darn, dictionary,……’scues me someone is manifesting…….akk…erk..gork.

  8. Rirliw, I am a transideal planer, I can go anywhere, also to the moons of Jupiter. The only place I don’t want to go is the apex.
    My cat is fine. He cannot hunt the rats, since its a sacred of Birmanie, but I have killed them all, only one last in the cave, but I have eaten the cheese before it got it. So, it’s only a matter of days. I mean to kill the rat. In fact, Chinese are more acute than my cat to kill the rat.
    People like you should not read my blog. You always criticize, you never leave a comment and you mockeries are weird.

  9. As I recall, Al Franken (spit!) had the same idea, but he inefficiently tried to use an entire decade to accomplish his goal (The Al Franken Decade). Does this mean you think you are ten times the man Al Franken is, since you aim to use only 1/10 the time he allotted himself for this task of self-fullfillment? Rich Lowry (national review online) has been challenged to fight by Al, but has refused in a gentlemanly manner (one need not accept the challenges of non-gentlemen). Would you accept a challenge to fight Al? Would you cahllenge Al to fight? (please, oh, please, oh please?)

  11. This is offically the first time that i’ve ever blogged something. So like most things that I start working on in my life, i’ll insult it, thusly putting myself in a dillusion that i’m any better. Isn’t blogging supposed to be about things that matter. Like that Iranian fellow that was 60 minutes, he’s blogging even when the government threatened his livelyhood for doing it. I’d love to see what half of us would do if the government walked up to our doors and started jailing us because we expressed our opinion. So when you blogging think, its something we are actually alowed to do.

  12. This short discription is about Blogging.
    The BDI Collaboration in Financial Services conference in New York went extremely well, so much so that we intend to run it in London in late spring next year as well as in New York again exactly one year later on September 29, 2005. The conference review describes what happened on the day. Taking a few quick top-of-mind reflections from the event…
    The success of the event shows that collaboration and collaboration technologies are recognized as critical issues across financial services. In an industry driven by information flows and deep expertise, allowing professionals in financial institutions and their clients to integrate their work and thinking is clearly the way things are heading. We began to touch on some of the implications for bank strategy and value-creation in the industry in the event; this theme will play a bigger role in our future conferences.
