Okay, peeps, this is it. I am Blogathon 2003-ing. I was inspired by another greatly-admired local peep, B-Squared, who rocks the Kasbah every day of the week. Fuckety Asked Questions Will Follow….
Like him, I think this endeavor will only be worthwhile if I set a certain goal–something to shoot for, if you will. I am going for $100, and am accepting donations in any amount, up to the day of (and during) the Blogathon.
F.A.Q.:
Whazza Blogathon?
It’s a charity thing. Basically, on July 26 I drag my banana peel-smoking ass out of bed at 6am and blog for 24 hours straight, updating every thirty minutes. Oh man, Mr. Husband is going to hate this. Here is more info, from the Blogathon website.
Why are the good people at the offices of I, Asshole doing this?
1. I have a blog; I am a show-off. Duh.
2. It is summer and I want to do something “wacky.”
3. I can raise money for a good cause.
What charity are you blogging for?
I am blogging for Bookaid. As a future librarian and big-time reader, I feel it is my duty to get as many people reading as possible.
What makes you think you can do this?
Again, it is summer, so I don’t have many other obligations. Mr. Husband will watch the girlie. Also, I like coffee. A lot.
I also hope to drag my sister and a digital camera into this to increase the shenanigans. Because I know you want to see three a.m. pics of my stretch marks, avec commentary.
Other Blogathon Bloggers have a theme. What’s yours, jerkface?
I am going to start by chronicling every single one of my freaky tales, in chronological order. That will only get me through the first twenty-three hours or so, and then I regale you all with other Asshole Tales of Yore. Sleep dep+freaky tales=not to be missed.
There will probably be pictures, badly-rendered in MS Paint and photos as well. Perhaps I will even borrow a scanner. It will be performance art gone terribly wrong.
Wow! How can I donate?
My blog is here. Donate now, before a blogger you like better signs up!
I am hankering for a hunk of cheese.
I cannot help you with that.
Finally, is it just me, or is your fund-raising meter totally phallic?
Yep. I just had to bam it up a notch. It goes with the theme, after all.
Go Asshole, go! I’d give you money, only I’m really tight. Good job I have moral support aplenty. Coming atcha.
If you make goal, will you remove that extremely disturbing penis?
Yes! The penis will be removed! Good incentive!
You don’t like my original art???
I don’t know art, but I know what vaguely unsettles and disturbs me.
i like the fact that the “member” seems to have a little smile on it’s face. a happy penis ! yay!
It is kind of a jaunty penis at that. Also, is it just me, or does the penis bear an uncanny resemblance to R&B diva Erykah Badu?
that looks just like the penis diagram I drew in the middle of a presentation a few months back! Only I didn’t meant to be drawing a penis – I was drawing a floor plan for an outdoor party in a local park.
I wanted to do this blogathon, too, but will be just getting back late friday night from a week at a camp thing with my kids. I’m afraid I’ll be too sleep deprived to do this.
Good luck!
Oh yup. Count me in.
Visited your fine city this past weekend. Got trapped in scary Anglo-tennis-patriot festivities in Madison Park on the 4th. Wish I’d had happy penis art to keep me safe and warm.
