    Charlie Sykes Google Bomb!

    Charlie Sykes! Charlie Sykes! Charlie Sykes!
    Charlie Sykes spelled backwards is Sekys Eilrahc.

    If you're trying to get on the Charlie Sykes blogroll, here's a list of things that probably won't work. I know, because I've tried!

    1) Talking about something that interests Charlie Sykes.

    2) Sucking up to Charlie Sykes.

    3) A polite bleg (is that a word, Steve?) to Charlie Sykes.

    4) Live blogging Charlie Sykes' TV show.

    5) Poking Charlie Sykes in the eye.

    6) Renegging on poking Charlie Sykes in the eye.

    7) Google bombing Charlie Sykes.

    Perhaps, my summary of last year's posts will get the blogfather's attention.

    15 Amendments:

    Bleg is a word; it's short for blog beg :-)

    He's apparently on the Jeff Wagner schedule for updating his blogroll.

    Ohh! I forgot that!

    8) Linking Jeff Wagner to get under Charlie Sykes' skin.

    I hope you get on, man. You've earned it.

    Awww... Shucks! You're just saying that because I'm campaigning really, really hard.

    I did email Charlie tonight, though, to nominate Dean at Musings of a Thoughtful Conservative.

    Dean's got a link to every blog ever written, I swear. He deserves the respect.

    you are too funny

    Dean said...

    Aw, thanks, Aaron. I like to link, even if they don't write regularly.

    I was just wondering if one of the Free Will links was a place holder for you.

    Or perhaps, I need to get PhotoShop...

    Here's what I sent him:

    Charlie,

    You may never blogroll me, and that's ok. I think I can amuse myself either way. But, I want to petition you to give Dean a chance: http://thoughtfulconservative.blogspot.com/

    Musings of a Thoughtful Conservative has been around for some time. Dean has been quietly linking the cheddarsphere without solicitation, and he's just a really nice guy! Dean deserves a mention from the blogfather.

    Holy crap, Aaron. I just discovered the other two blogs you contribute to.

    If you want to get noticed by Charlie, just start posting all in one place.

    You are very, very funny.

    I just think you're spreading yourself too thin.

    Or you can just go and try to persuade him using your boomstick.

    First of all, thank you for using the word "boomstick" in a sentence.

    If you want to get noticed by Charlie, just start posting all in one place.

    Each of those blogs is for a different audience. One is intended for my friends to keep up on my house projects. They don't read it much, and neither do I. I had expected to do more with it. If you read my 2005 review, you'll see that I'm thinking of turning it into a photo blog.

    The PLCs.net blog is a work in progress. I'm trying to drum up interest by posting once every week or two. I'm hoping that the members will eventually take the lead and it will develop a life of its own.

    And, I spend a lot of time on other people's blogs. Rather than be a parrot, I like to just hop in and add my two cents.

    And if the boomstick doesn't work, you could grab Tony Montana's little friend (an M-16 with the M-203 grenade-launcher attachment).

    Slow down, guys!

    Let me just clarify that Elliot, Steve, and I are playing "movie trivia."

    We are NOT makign threats against Charlie! I won't be adding that to my list any time soon.

    1/06/2006 02:01:59 PM  
    elliot said...

    We weren't making threats?

    Oh, yeah, of course we weren't.

    Really.

    We weren't.

    (As if Charlie couldn't have all three of us wiped out any time he wanted.)

    The blogfather is going to have you whacked, Elliot.

    Dude, you are sooooo in!

    Jessica McBride blogged about this post.

    Isn't she like Charlie's consigliere?

    Well, you're either in or sleeping with the fishes.
