15 Years of Blogging Supremacy

Hey, it’s me, Frank J., the guy who sometimes blogs here. Anyway, it was fifteen years ago today I started the blog IMAO. Since then, this blog has led to me becoming a columnist, becoming a published author, and becoming a script writer. And this blog has also led to me getting married (12 years now). And it was all thanks to you, my readers and those who have supported me.

So, yeah, I know I don’t blog as much as I used to with all the other stuff going on (I don’t have much time to write right now as I’m on a fishing trip with the kids), but I will keep this blog going forever if I can. Well, maybe Harvey will, with Basil doing tech support. But I will be around waiting for that one fabled day where I will have more time to blog. Maybe on the 30th anniversary, though it’s possible by then I’ll have handed the blog over to my daughter Buttercup. She’s very opinionated and very certain she’s right about everything.

Anyway, I feel very blessed. Thank you so much for your support. And I’ll try to be funny again one of these days, I swear — though I think it’s now been thirteen years since that last happened.

Saturday Night Open Thread

I did nothing today.

Well, that’s not true. I did some stuff, but I don’t know what it was. You see, I’m writing this on Saturday morning and putting a Saturday night timestamp on it, just in case I actually do something today and end up not being around on at this time on Saturday night. I have no plans, or very few plans. But I don’t plan to do anything outstanding.

What got me to thinking about this? This post over at Harvey’s personal blog.

Now, for Saturday Night Open Thread, you have options. You can tell us what you did today. Or you can not tell us what you did today. Or tell a joke. Share a link. Make up some nonsense. Doesn’t matter. It’s your decision. Because Saturday Open Thread, that’s why.

Friday Night Open Thread

One of the funniest routines I from my youth — teens, maybe — was seeing Art Metrano. Don’t remember if it was on Carson, or some other show, but his “magic” act while he accompanied himself with the music from “Fine and Dandy” was hilarious.

He was funny in the Police Academy movies, and later successfully sued Family Guy.

You know what else if fine and dandy? Open Thread time. Which is now. It’s Friday Night Open Thread, and your turn to show off your magic.
