The iron gauntlet of the Summer Blogging Challenge. It’s a big, mean glove just made for busting your hopes, dreams and teeth (and maybe not in that order). Oh, it’s fun early on, but towards the end you’ll be so desperate for topics that you find yourself trying to type up a few hundred words about the tire rims you saw that day that really pissed you off. You’ll sit in front of your computer and try to claw something resembling a concept for a post out of your stupid, tired brain while the desperation sweats increase as time ticks away.
I’m just awesome at drumming up interested parties for this, aren’t I?
Anyway, the blogging challenge consists of this :
-Post every day for a month, starting with August 8th.
-Post something of meaning. In other words, no just typing the word ‘pancakes’ 300 times and posting that up, you douchebag. Rant, rave, share, mock, talk about stuff you like, talk about stuff you don’t like, complain, praise, blaspheme, whine, snivel, laugh, and whatever the Hell else you wanna do. Oh, and pancakes are certainly a relevant topic.
-Try to comment as much as possible on at least a few posts by the other participants. And yes, mocking those who give up totally counts, at least if you’re a jerk like me.
That’s it. How do you enter this fantastical idea symposium?
1. Go to the relevant post on Liam’s blog here.
2. Leave a comment saying you’re in, and maybe a link to your blog. Seriously, if writing a comment is too much work for you, you might want to rethink entering. You might also want to rethink a lot of life choices that have apparently led you to become the laziest piece of crap ever.
3. Actually have a blog. I suppose this should have been higher on the list. Personally, I will accept daily posted Youtube videos of you ranting, but that’s just possibly just me.
Literacy would probably help. Of course, if you can’t read or write, you have no idea what any of these bizarre collections of characters is anyway.
If you’re looking for something a little extra, there is the optional Cliff rule that you have to talk about a different topic every day. You can still cover the same ground multiple times, you just have to break that apart with other subjects.
And if you really want to amuse me, perhaps consider a rule requiring you to use the word miasma in your posts at least 3 times per day.
And no fat chicks. Oh, and show us your tits…
So there you go! The gauntlet waits for you to pick it up, if you dare! If not, I’m totally going to put it on and go punch random strangers with it and stuff.
