Yeppers, today marks three years of the IMAO blog. That’s like forever in internet terms. Would have posted something earlier, but I was at a meeting to help set up a transitional house for homeless women. Always trying to change the world here on the internet (more on a new idea next week), but it’s nice to do some work to help at least a few people directly.
Anyhoo, it is International Link to IMAO Day, so make sure you’ve linked to IMAO if you have a blog. The Alliance, at the behest of Susie, has a whole bunch of horrible lies about me in celebrations. It’s neat to think back to that first filthy lie and how the meme continues to this day.
BTW, if you want to give me money, some reason monkey’s link doesn’t work, but the donation button for the wedding of me and SarahK up in the left-hand corner works. Only other thing I ask is to vote for us at podcast alley on the new podcast, as we dropped to 13th place and being in the top ten give us lots of exposure.
Thanks for continuing to come back to IMAO. I’m not always super-duper funny every single moment, but I try hard. And, if I didn’t have this outlet, I’d probably hurt people.
Be honorable, ronin.

Susie of Practical Penumbra posted the following at Alliance HQ. Even if you’re not a member of The Alliance of Free Blogs, you’re encouraged to play along, if you’re so inclined.

Today is Frank’s 3rd blogiversary, so to celebrate I am going to blatantly encourage “link-doping” in order to nudge him up the Ecosystem! My evil plan was to pick a post of his, and exhort everyone to link to it with just “Indeed.” The problem is, once I got to IMAO, I couldn’t find anything Frank wrote! There’s some really funny stuff by Harvey and rightwingduck, but I had to scroll half way to the next blog to find Frank’s last post–and it’s just a blockquote from somewhere else.
What the heck. A trackback is a trackback, right? So everyone blog:
Indeed.
The permalink is https://www.imao.us/index.php/2005/07/time-to-have-a-pint/ and the trackback url is http://www.imao.us/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi/2858

Folks,
We’ve decided to make ask Dr. Duck a part of the podcast. I’ll probably take some of the questions from Friday and work them in.
However, if there are OTHER questions that you’d like answered – post them today by 7pm Eastern time. Post in comments or email them to me at rightwingduckatyahoodotcom.
Oh, and can you BELIEVE it’s been three years since Frank J. blessed us with his humor?
Happy Anniversery Supreme Blog Overlord.
You are the reason I got into blogging!!!

Frank has been blogging now for 3 years as of today.
So of course you are thinking, “Where’s my free ice cream?” CUT IT OUT!
You selfish free ice cream demanders need to stop, and step back for moment and think of Frank for a change. Think about his needs, desires and quest for world domination.
To paraphrase, John Kennedy, the Democrat responsible for U.S. involvement in Viet Nam,

Ask not what Frank can do for you.
Ask what you can do for Frank.

The answer is manyfold, varied and yes sundry. Actually that’s not the answer more of a description of the answer.
The real answer is of course to do things to help expand Frank’s reach, popularity, power and ultimately his pocketbook.

• Email 5 dozen someones you know, sending them a link to his blog with appropriate effusive praise.
• Email everyone you know and 20 people you don’t know a link to his podcast site also with similarly appropriate effusive praise.
• Give him money outright. A simple, direct approach, much like Frank himself. He’d appreciate that.
  
  
  
  
  
• Buy an IMAO t-shirt, sure it’s more selfish on your part than the donation but helps accomplish many of Frank’s goals.
• Pay attention to his his advertisers, do I really have to spell it out? C-l-i-c-k T-h-e-m.

Happy Blogiver$ary, Bo$$
Update: And you can vote for the podcast on Podcast Alley.
