Hump Day! This is me humping your Internet leg! (Alternate tagline: I guess I’m a parasite, too!)
Today begins a new Wednesday feature here at Playgroups are no place for children! There are so many things I come across on the Internet that I MUST share with you, so I decided to start “Hump Day! This is me humping your Internet leg!” Tasteful, no?
Yeah, so this isn’t an original idea. Blah, blah, blah. In fact, I’m stealing this idea from Mrs. Fussypants and her Linkapalooza, but I’m confident that she’s classy enough not to try and publically humiliate me and call me a parasite for also using her idea.
To be fair, I’m stealing this idea of linking interesting posts and Internet content from a LOT of people. The “victims?” Slackermama’s You Must Read, Plain Jane Mom’s Go Read it Today, Good Mom/Bad Mom BS Sunday, The Bean Blog’s Sunday Linky Love, and many, many others. That’s right, you heard me. This isn’t an original idea. *shrugs shoulders*
So call me a parasite or a spade. Whatever. I just want to spread some kumbaya love here in the mommy (and daddy! and singles and hippies and A-list, C-list, W-list…) blogosphere. I think there’s plenty of room here for more than one take on an idea. And isn’t imitation the highest form of flattery? *raises one eyebrow*
MOVING ON.
I’ve discovered two new blogs via StumbleUpon that I’m now in love with. Go visit Nanny Goats in Panties and Yankee Drawl. Oh how I love thee, let me count the ways. Oh wait? Has that already been said by someone else?
I LOVED this post from Schmutzie. I loved the morals to her story, especially “a good round of sluttiness can cure a bruised ego.” *Wipes away a tear*
Going to auctions is one of our favorite things to do, but never thought about what it was like to be on the other side and watch a loved one’s treasures being sold.
Did you know that I’m writing a “fitness” diary over at Blissfully Domestic? I mean, ME and FITNESS practically go together like cake and ice cream (or maybe it’s more like oil and water?) (Did I just hump my own Internet leg?)
You probably already know about this, but Blog Nosh Magazine has launched. This online magazine is devoted to republishing the best of the best on the Internet. Do you have a fantastic post, sitting dusty and lonely in your archives? Well submit it to Blog Nosh Magazine so that it can be revived!
*****
I’m not sure if this will be a weekly series or a monthly series or even a just-this-one-time series. It also may not be the ONLY thing I publish on Wednesdays. What do you think? Be honest.
Also…Class is cancelled this Saturday for my Blog Tip Sharing Project series. It IS a holiday weekend after all. I think our blogs will survive.
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
O Lord, kumbaya
I’ve seen the link love idea spread far and wide, and I know not EVERYONE is coming up with the idea themselves. I do believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery, and whenever people get pissy about others “stealing” their ideas, it makes me pissy. Get ovah it, peeps. Anyways. Like you said, MOVING ON [at least some of us can].
I died a little inside when I read that BTSP class is cancelled this week. My blog will simply shrivel up and perish without your wisdom, oh Jennifer, God of Blogs.
Oh okay. Take the weekend off. I guess I can just bury my head in a box of illegal fireworks and cry. Wait, could that set some off? I don’t want a burnt off face.
Um, I need sleep. Don’t mind the babble.
Looking forward to NEXT weekend’s BTSP post.
And lovin’ the linkyness. Keep it comin’.
Happy 4th, lady!
And ohmigawd. I just had to give a little squeal. I popped your Hump Day post’s comment cherry. Too many sexual references?
Oh how I love you. Linky love is the best! And you are spot on, imitation IS the highest form of flattery. Some people just LOVE drama.
But not me, I love you!
Misss last blog post..I’d rather live my life on the Z-list, than be a bitch
I was pretty much onboard until I got to the Kumbaya part. Now I pretty much hate you. And myself. For saying I was “onboard” with something. Just kill me.
Lisas last blog post..Haiku that Blog! v1.03
Wow - I’m gone for 3 days and I seem to have missed EVERYTHING… I’m making my way through my Reader and no less than 4 people have all touched on “the incident”… Can’t we all just get along?
I too am sad that class is dismissed this weekend… I’ve really enjoyed your tips over the past few weeks. Thanks in advance for the next ones coming.
Wow, what have I got to do to get you to hump my internet leg… but I guess I have to work out which list I am on.
Who decides that? Or is it an honour system?
Kelleys last blog post..Of twits and twats Tuesday
Lisa, hope you know the kumbaya reference is meant to be a joke, with some snark and a jab thrown in!
Kelley, I’ll hump anyone’s leg, whatever list you are on. I’m cool like that.
I HAD NO IDEA
about a lotta this.
love your fitness diary (shocking, I know :))
MizFits last blog post..Viewer Mail.
Awesome. I love the linky love.
Gave you something today at my place…come over.
~JJ!s last blog post..Look at this bad boy!
Can’t wait to check out those sites! Happy Hump Day!
wrights last blog post..Wordless Wednesday - Cupcake Carnage
I have an area in my sidebar where I link to other blogs. I call it my “blogroll,” but recently it’s come to my attention that this idea has been used before. Dude, I totally hope I’m not infringing on any copyrights, you know?
Anyway, I like the Hump Day link love idea. You can never hump too many Internet legs, IMHO.
rimaramas last blog post..I Dodged the Bullet
rimarama, Yeah, you *might* want to think about that blogroll. Geez, you parasite!
Ha ha! Oh, Jennifer, you always know just what to say and how to say it. You rock.
I think this is a great idea! (WHOEVER started it!)
I say you do it whenever you get the itch to do it!
And by IT, I mean humping the proverbial internet leg, of course.

I just did this last night….I didn’t know it was so popular!
Connie @ The Chronicless last blog post..A Blog Tour…
Cool on sharing the links! KUMBAYA I remember singing that song in school! I had no idea what it means!
Mrs Moguls last blog post..Bump watch: I look neater than Angelina Jolie!
Great idea, I always love these! And not just because I completely SUCK at keeping up with my google reader.
Oh my… so very funny! Love the new feature… and I too am anxiously awaiting the return of Blog Tip Sharing Project (which I linked to on my blog last week… so dude,,, you are so copying me! Ha!)
And I’m pretty sure I am a D-list blogger. (Oh wait… I’m stealing that from Kathy Griffin.)
(I snorted out a little coffee when I got to the kumbaya part.)
I really hate that people are still giving that old thing attention (how do you make a bully stop? you ignore them), but since you mentioned one of my most favoritest blogs, I’m going to forgive you for feeding the trolls.
Burgh Babys last blog post..Plotting My Revenge. Suggestions Welcomed.
Wish I could be as forthright and irreverent as you on my blog, but it is mostly for family and they just wouldn’t understand. Thanks so much for the heads up on “Nanny Goats in Panties” and “Yankee Drawl”.
They fit into my “fun” category in Google Reader just beautifully. I have subscribed to both.

I think you stole a whole lot of sarcasm from someone, somewhere, FYI.

Oh and Alli and I have established that we copied each other on our names ending in PANTS. Ha ha ha….

Spreading linky-love is always a great idea!! A good way to help others find new blogs…and to acknowledge some of your favs!! I like to do it every so often as well!!
Sarahs last blog post..Where the…huh?
I love Linky Love. I’ve found some great blogs that way.
Rph Mommys last blog post..Ya wanna make something of it?
Love it! Love the new haircut, too, btw.
P.S. I constantly rip off other people’s ideas for blogging (and give cred. where it’s due).
Oh my god, you are SUCH a copy cat!! I cannot BELIEVE it!! OMFG?? Who do you think you ARE??
Seriously, you need to STEP off this linky love idea, because, really? Played out.
(Actually I rely on your shared items to point me in the right direction, so if you could just continue doing all the hard work for us slackers, that’d be great, ktxbai.)
VDogs last blog post..Happy 18 Month Birthday, Little Man!
Thanks for the shout out!
All I’m saying is that your post title simply rulz and thus I’m giving you a little bit of love for being so incredibly amusing!

NO FAIR.
Love you!

No class this Saturday! What am I going to do???
I’ll survive, I suppose.
McCathys last blog post..And the money keeps finding it’s way out of my pockets…
Now I have kumbaya stuck in my head. God help me.
Thanks for the hump. That’s the most action I’ve had in a while…
amys last blog post..I’m A Soccer Mom In Heels
Aww, thanks for the linky-love. I’ll admit, I may have peed myself a little in the excitement of seeing my link up there.
I don’t think you’re a parasite or a spade, linky love is good (espeically when I find another good blog like I did in your last post.) Or maybe this is just my way of sucking up to you so I may, someday. be worthy of your linky love.

Shit, wait. You were blogging first, weren’t you?
DAMNIT.

Thanks for actually calling her out. So many people have referenced what happened, but I didn’t KNOW what happened.

You are such a bloggy rock star, girl. I’m not worthy to share the same hotel room with you.
Off to check out your fabulous looking links…

I like you even more now.
Stimeys last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: A Game of Catch
I think your hump day, thievery or not, flattery or not, is a fantastic idea! And it has nothing (NOTHING, I TELL YOU!) to do with the fact that you linked to me today. *smiles sheepishly*
Speaking of which, thank you for the linky love! I HEART you a whole lot right now. You made my day today!

Top that.
Velveteen Mind- Megans last blog post..To Alistair (An Argument in Favor of Unschooling)
um, hi. I cannot tell you how much I wish I had never written that post. And then I wrote an apology post and now I’m getting blasted in those comments too. I feel like I can’t apologize enough to everyone! Alli has been so sweet, trying to make ME feel better, because that is just the kind of classy lady she is.
I use free blog themes, I participate in memes, I join the same social networks as everyone else-I’m so unoriginal it’s not even funny. I’m hoping that most of the 1,000 people at BlogHer won’t have read the post and will still want to meet me. I’d love to meet you, so if you would like to exchange cell numbers let me know!
you can hump me any time.
am on vacay and was wondering how in the world i got so many hits.

It’s the finest form of copying.
