After a little negotiatiating, I got a new blogger to join IMAO. He’ll be making his first post on Monday. Not even the other IMAO authors know about this, as I want to make sure it’s a surprise for everyone.
Also Monday, the next chapter in “In My World: Un-Poofy.”
Let the wild and unfounded speculation begin!
Jonah Goldberg!
Little Sizzle!
Glenn Reynolds!
I’ll bet it’s Jesus picking up on the “Frank Reads the Bible” Series
Rush Limbaugh?
George Bush?
Zaphod Beeblebrox?
is it the puppy blender?
Hey! You said my first post could be on Tuesday!!
Cool! Somebody else that I can be funnier than 🙂
Better not be Scrappleface, though
shakes fist
As long as it’s not some guy named ‘Phil’.
Me?
I’m sorry but I hate the new group blog. I started coming here to read Frank J. Blog…Not Frank J. plus some other dudes that aren’t particularly funny. But I shouldn’t complain because thanks to this my blog http://www.aaronstigall.blospot.com just moved up in the funny blog rankings!
“I shouldnt complain” …but I will anyway.
Anybody have a timetable for when people will stop complaining about the group blog? Or will setting a timetable allow them to wait us out?
Spacemonkey, what if it’s some guy named DR. Phil?
I think that would add some definite hilarity to this blog… although maybe not the kind we’re all looking for…
I LOATHE Dr. Phil.
I am also not a fan of this new group blog thing. I like everyone that is blogging but I like going to their blogs to read their stuff. But I spose I will get used to it. sigh
I went to scrappleface for funny for the first time today
So you read the satire about Terri?
I LIKE the group blog, because I get to read Spacemonkey both places now! At least there’s no one named PHIL blogging! 😉
Considering that no one has to pay to read this blog, I don’t see how anyone can complain when Frank wants to change something. I personally like the “guest” bloggers.
Change takes getting used to. I think everyone will love the new bloggers in the end, including the one who will join us Monday.
Huh. This is the first I’ve heard that this even was a group blog now.
I’ve been a bit out of touch.
What’s so bad about Phil? Two heads are better than one…
I don’t pay admission to read IMAO so I figure maybe I’ll let the guy paying the bandwith decide what to do with his own website.
Bortz, Hannity, Limbaugh, Dr. Phil?
Hmmm. I did some thinking and I have concluded that it’s Joe Foo’ the Marine.
Frank, make it stop. Everyone I know who reads IMAO (Yes, people talk about you offline) is disappointed. Change is sometimes good, but this change sucks. It’s like a bully stepping on your sand castle when you’re a little kid. It’s not depressing or angering. It’s devastating and shocking. I like all of the other bloggers, but I think you should have a vote on the group blog. If most people like it, it should stay, but it would be foolish to keep something that the bulk of your loyal readers dislike. ::sigh:: Maybe my words will be ignored, but maybe the complaints have some merit? SarahK needs to beat some sense into Frank J.
Meh, I agree with Charlie. The Group Blog idea doesn’t seem that great to me.
Shameless plug alert!
I know why IMAO became a group blog!
End Shameless plug.
Yes a vote!
Take a poll!
You used to do those!
Do them again!
I’m with Charlie!
I’m addicted to exclamation points and I can’t stop!
Bring back the funny!
Stop jumping over that poor shark!
Whew… Thank God that’s over… it was scary for a minute there.
Add me to the list of the disappointed. Been a fan of IMAO for over a year. I come here because I enjoyed Frank’s view of things and his humor.
I don’t want to come here to see either people trying to be like Frank or be different from Frank. If I wanted to read them I’d go to their sites and read their blogs.
Unlike the cliche that sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of the parts this group blog idea is not working for me. Rather than creating a greater whole it seems only to have diminished the individual parts.
I’ll visit on occasion to see if Frank has posted something or reverted to a dedicated blog, but it seems IMAO is going to go the way of Allahpundit…
There are way too many positives to a group blog here to offset the pathetic mewlings of any whiners.
Maybe someone web-savvy can whip up a per-user setting to show only Frank J’s stuff, or make the front page split by author like Michele Catalano’s American Idol blog?
Oh, and I bet Laurence Simon is the new author.
The odd thing is that the new IMAO bloggers are really very good, so there’s definitely not a drop in quality in my opinion.
And yet, I come here specifically to get inside the warped mind of one individual, the one and only Frnak J.
However, if this move enables to Frank to stave off burnout and retain a presence on IMAO rather than going dark altogether, why then … it’s all good I guess.
can’t you just open the page and do a search for frank, if thats what you are looking for?
For those who claim that they’d just read this stuff on my blog if they wanted to read it, you’re wrong.
If I wasn’t part of IMAO, I wouldn’t be taking the time to write this stuff at all.
Which, I suppose wouldn’t really break anyone’s heart 🙂
