I've
been looking forward to this day of honoring my dear friend, Gary Pennick, who blogs at Klahanie. He's the real deal –
honest, kind, trustworthy, great listener, fun to hang around the
internet (or tree house...) with and just a great guy. BUT, he
doesn't like blogfests, or hops, or God forbid, the A-Z Challenge.
(You knew I was going to say it Gary...I had to. It's for the
irony...) So several of us got together to host this Gary Fest,
because regardless of what happens, this day is to bring attention to
our oh so unassuming, stay in the background, "promote others not
himself" guy.
Participants are to invent
three silly, corny, stupid or annoying blogfests that they'd never
join. This task is going to be hard for me, because I love joining
most of them...I honestly enjoy meeting and greeting and to me, a
blogfest is like a good cocktail party. Mingle. Converse. Share
information. Snack. DRINK.
However,
I'd never join these three:
The
“If You Join the Linky, They Will Come Bloghop". Sign up.
That's it. No need to visit anyone, just wait for the suckers to
show up at your door.
The
“Great Vomit Story Blogfest”. Tell the most disgusting
vomit story you have. (I'm COMPLETELY vomit phobic. COMPLETELY.
I'm glad my boys are beyond the bodily fluid age...)
The
“Throw a Relative Under the Bus Blogging May Challenge”.
Tell embarrassing stories about your relatives, being sure to call
them by their full, googleable name, for a whole month. Be sure to
go in alphabetical order. (You know that last requirement is another
shout-out to our anti-alphabet spokesperson GARY!)
In
case you haven't noticed, we love Gary. Be sure to visit the rest of
your co-hosts:
Hosted by
and enjoy the silliness of today. Don't forget the
whole point though, and be sure to visit GARY himself.
I
love you buddy. Happy YOU Day!
