Sudden New Tradition

January 21st, 2010 | by TJ |

Hey, Internet, I’m instituting a new series of posts called “Link to Someone Else Thursdays,” because I found a new blog I like, I’m working on a plot so I’m really busy right now, and it’s Thursday. This series may or may not continue to other Thursdays. It depends on how busy I am next Thursday.

Hopefully, by next Thursday, I can tell you of the secret plot I am working on, though.

So, Internet, I give you the inaugural edition of LINK TO SOMEONE ELSE THURSDAYS!

ANYWAY. You see how I have the BlogHer ads, and underneath the tall skinny ad, links to other blogs in the BlogHer network? Well, you should check those links out as often as they change, because you will find some awesome stuff.

For example, I recently found Slice of Lemon that way.

I would go on and on about how funny and intelligent and interesting and charming she is, but instead, I give you this small selection from her FAQ Page.

Who is “The Boss” and where did you meet him?

The Boss is my beautiful and charming husband. We met when we were 9 years old and our childhood friendship eventually evolved into a wedding proposal.
We married on July 12, 2008.

I noticed you’re wearing a scarf on your head in your picture in the About This Site section of your Web site. Does that mean you’re a Muslim?

Yup.

Does your husband make you call him “The Boss” because you’re an oppressed Muslim woman who has absolutely no rights?

Yup.

Why in the world would you make a joke like that about Muslim women? It wasn’t funny and I’m offended.

My husband made me do it.

I almost peed, y’all. I almost peed.

Anyway, I’ve got to go inform some people of some developments in my plot, and I almost promised a top secret, deeply coded email to another blogger (that you should also be reading, by the way).

If you are desperate for something that I’ve written (but seriously, I’ve brought two whole other entire bloggers to your attention today, so I really think you’re being kind of uppity and demanding), you can check out this post I wrote on SodaHead about Kim Kardashian and $25 lollipops because WHAT THE HELL?

I can’t wait to tell y’all about my plot!

    Weird, I see no ads. I wonder if it’s blocked by our firewall or something.

    Hey! That’s me! I feel honored to have been mentioned by you, TJ. And I feel a little like a ninja spy, having entered into this clandestine, top-secret, encoded email business.

    Anyway, I love the idea of Link to Someone Else Thursday. I always appreciate discovering fresh stuff, and I really like Slice of Lemon!

    Can’t wait to hear about the plot! :)

    Thank you for the new reading material! I’m trying to branch out from WoW blogs because most of the ones I read are written by people who are raiding ICC, and my guild is still trying to clear the second half of Ulduar, so I’m not really learning much other than how to be stupidly jealous of all their phat purplez. How’s that for a sentence?

    Anyway, thanks!
