Let's Go "Next Blog"-ging

Start with the tune of "Space Truckin'" in your head, and you'll have a nice musical background going. Then, I'll hit the NEXT BLOG button to see where I'll go. The sense of adventure is overwhelming. Now I know how Magellan and John Glenn must have felt.

My first English-speaking stop was Free Hott Girls, proclaiming "if you come to this blog you will see hundreds of free girls that are ready for you to just look at them in their bikinis." What better reason to blog? Girls in bikinis.

Next up, the ladies way. Lead story: Bald-headed Britney gets tattooed, just above an article about the French Nazi-era collaborator Papon dying. Otherwise, it looks like a resting space for articles about coping and romance. By the way, the Nazi's romantic period is greatly under-appreciated.

Then, I found beeleoge. He posts YouTube videos of women dancing. At the bottom of the page was the answer to the Number of ways of factoring n with all factors >1. It made the scroll-bar thing really tiny.

Up pops the Artful Blogger. He posted some photos of sculpture made with forks and some hedge art. Interesting.

Ooops. It's the Catholic Book Review. I wonder what they thought of The Bible?

Now, it's Dinosaurs. Most recent post: 3,000,000 BC.

Here's The Foolish Girl, who promises that she is "rude, vulgar and will probably offend you." She loves The Toadies, Leonardo DeCaprio and Damien Rice. She's was right. She is offending me.

OURTALK is a blog by Bushy, who seems to get out a lot. It's mostly reviews of shows he's seen or bands he's heard.

Then I came up on one of those family blogs, which is entirely uninteresting unless you're a displaced member of their immediate family who cares about what color Junior's crap was that day or how many times the dog pissed in the laundry room. Otherwise, it's really cool.

Uh-oh, it's The Political War Zone. The first thing I see on the page is a big "ad" for some place called Cloud 9, that promises to
transform unique and memorable experiences into unforgettable gifts. Hey, back off the war talk, OK buddy. I'm trying to make a keychain out of that hooker I was with last night.

I needed a place for Jokes, fun and laughs, so it's a good thing I found e-LauGhs. Even the title is funny. It's full of dopey jokes and lists. It's a great place to start one of those chain-forwarded-a-thousand-times e-mails. Fwd:>>Fwd:>>Fwd:>>Fwd:>>Fwd:>>Who Doesn't Think This is Funny?

In Our House is another of those family-oriented deals, but this one has more general interest stuff, and each post comes with a handy click box for you to order Harry Potter on Amazon. Thanks, I was wondering how I was gonna get one. Wowie.

I wondered what DangerDemocrat meant. Was there a comma missing or an exclamation point? It wasn't until I saw him refer to the "Luddites in the White House" that I knew what it meant.
The Luddites were a paramilitary
group, trying to enforce a production monopoly for their own financial gain through sabotage and the resultant intimidation. They also opposed the free market and technological progress. There ya go. Word for the day: Luddites.

One blog said that it was
designed to foster discussion that will help Christians become transformed into the image of Christ and sharing that transformative process with others. Wow - is that video on YouTube?

Machines are for Sissies, or so says K-Smash, on a blog that is a daily post of his workout routine. OK, that's enough.

Try as I might, I couldn't randomly stumble across anything worth reading. Sorry folks. The NEXT BLOG button is infested sometimes. I found myself switched to Jokes-n-Junk, a drug advertisement and something called The Bestest Blog in the World, which features a RANDOM BLOG button that gets you locked in Internet Hell. Not bestest blog.

What this little exercise did was to make me appreciate the people on the sidebar under Blogger Buddies - and even the ones that aren't there that I stalk ... er ... read.
There are estimates that say there are 50 million blogs. To know and read any at all that are of high quality and have interesting content is an achievement in itself. Congratulations to you for being interesting and fun to read.

Along the way, I found a neat place to get free Blogger templates, and a link to the original film of the Hindenburg crash, so it wasn't a total loss.

And now... Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice, Ian Gillian, Jon Lord and Roger Glover. 1973. Back when you had to use musical instruments to make these kinds of sounds. I wouldn't blame you if you bailed on it:

I sometimes do that-hit the next blog button to see where it takes me. Usually I get stuck at some Asian girls teddy bear blog and can't get the fuck out of there cause she took the NEXT blog button off. I can see why some people got pissy with me because I took it off, but seriously, I don't have teddy bears on mine.

Sounds like your surfing days were quite uneventful. Maybe next time go through FS5's and look at all his porn he has linked. The twisted fukker.

Anthony, I swear, you're better than a travel agent. Thank you for visiting those places so I don't have to.
Oh.My.Holy.Hell. Deep Purple. My fave? Demon's Eye.
First concert I ever saw was DP in Germany. I thought I had died and gone to Nirvana when that purple & pink smoke started rising from the stage. Oh.My.

Anthony said...

Kimmyk: I've actually done that FS5 thing, in my more twisted moments!
When you run into one without the "Next" button, just Go Back, and the next "Next" will take you to a different spot.

OB: Somehow, I knew you'd be the one to go nuts over the Deep Purple vid.
Stuff like that used to be the norm at shows. Now, I'm afraid audiences would be reaching for their cell phones or going out for pizza if bands tried stuff like that. It was musically adventurous in those days, but not so much now, regrettably. Short attention spans.

Sounds like somebody was REALLY bored ;-).

I may have to try it today...home with a sick kid AGAIN. This is getting really old. Glad I only have two kids, or else I fear I'd never get to leave the house again.

TOO FUNNY! i've played the next blogging game before - but only ended up with girls in teddies and sites written in japanese. bo-ring. looks like you at least got a bit of variety!

you'll be delighted that i like to joke fairly often that i'm a bit of a luddite myself - at lest on the technological tip. :)

Hey now dude...You can't judge the Poltical War Zone by one post on our 'free form' weekends......The PWZ is about politics, sports, news of the day, and our Friday Night Party .....

That particular post was about ones dream gift, by one of our female comtributors.....If you would have taken a closer look you would have seen we are a kick ass political blog that takes no prisoners, but we don't lose sight of the fact we are humans as well as bloggers......

Anthony said...

Yo Rex, take a seat and pull up a sense of humor. That's part of the "human" deal. Who's judging your blog?
You can't judge My Sick Mind from one post, either. And, by the way, the joke is on the Cloud 9 ad, not the PWZ.

It isn't my job to promote your blog. That's yours. My job is to write my mind and hopefully throw in enough humor to keep people interested.

Hey, I put the word ad in quotes.
What do you want from me? I'm only human.

Rex Zeitgeist said...

Stop by tomorrow night for the Friday night party.......We ususally get going around 8pm eastern and drink until dawn.....One of our contributors is from New Jersey.....

Its a blast.....How many other blogs have parties where they play quarters and get baked on the finest green?
