Link gratitude

I actually have no desire to look like a schmuck or act like a schmuck (being a wise-ass is A-OK), so for those of you that have linked to my blog in your blogroll (or given out my screen name to all the college chicas), I will attempt to link back to you sometime in the near future.

For now, here are a few that for some reason or other, felt compelled to link to me (I know it's not for the free beer and wings):

- Media Dystopia (I blogged about his fantastic 'Dano' situation before)
- Mutated Monkey's (no idea, maybe she saw my TV show)
- Funky Kenzo (from that bachelor party I didn't throw)
- Mors Semper Tyrannis (I emailed him the X-rated version of the Constitution)
- The Worst Weblog Ever (this feline-o-phile is pretty funny, I stole his CSS too)
- Outwardly Normal 2 (I used to own massive amounts of shares in his blog, but sold it for a cheap import, he apparently is the co-creator of this handy dictionary)
- Know ProSE (he's an uber geek that for some reason commented on my blog, I was honored [bows])
- Richard Giles (because I emailed him and called him at odd-hours each night)
- Mike Ewens (because I got him blogging, he owed me BIG TIME, like Mav and Ice)
- Matthew Davey (we worked on the BSJ, he's a cool bloke)
- David Veksler - RationalMind (because we went to the same school and yelled at each other all day long)
- iluminent/weblog (I think I emailed him one time about RSS templates, probably in reference to that 10 he has on the banner)
- Gnome-Girl/Cheyene (she was the first "real" person to leave a comment here, I'd say some other things, but now isn't a really good time)
- MediaTIC (because I fooled everyone into believing hablando espanol muy bien)
- Doing The Internet and Her Twin Sister (Andrew made his presence known with a bang... his wife wasn't too thrilled though)
- ryochiji (this guy is a techno-bad ass too, he made Blog Matcher and is now heading to the University of Chicago for grad school, oh and he can walk on water)
- Holy Shmoly (this is Donncha's blog, he's the mofo that put together an excellent fork of Cafelog and is now part of the WordPress dev team)
- The Unnamed Blog (out of the blue, he probably saw my award winning stunt double moves in that Jackie Chan film, with that guy and girl and... well, I don't want to ruin the plot)
- atom grid (sniff, he was the first LLC that committed a hostile take over of my blog, oh and he's a riot too, if you're into [deleted explicative])
- Karen de Coster (we actually didn't care much for the others existence at one point, now we at least obey the restraining orders)
- Jason Ditz (he's the smartest unemployed bachelor that also periodically updates his blog, hire him)
- The Serfdom Times (he's the only other Dallasite I personally know that has a blog, besides Andrew -- he's a good cartoonist too, hire him)
- Mad Ancapper: Silas (because I destroyed the incriminating evidence from his bacchanal back at A&M)
- Human Conduct (because at least one person read my inside-joke parody)
- Wondrous Beauty (Sharleen and I met once at A&M, I did not get pregnant)

Thanks for whatever weird, sick and twisted reasons you put me on your rolls. I think there were a few others, but when they figured out that my blog is all about multi-level marketing scams, they hit the road. Anyways, that was my good deed for this quarter, I might do it again -- depends on how much of an exodus results from my exposition of your secret identities.

Outwardly Normal 2

Thanks for the mention, but I think you misoverestimate me.

FOLDOC was and is an outstanding solo effort by Denis Howe, who is a friend and ex-colleague of mine. I have contributed/edited a few items for Denis, and I'm proud to be one of the many sub-editors, but my contribution is genuinely submicroscopic in extent.

Now that's sorted out, I must go and visit some of the sites in your list...

thank you Tim for all the smiles you give me just thought you should know that.

I have no idea what your comment by my link meant. I'm a little confused...clarify?

No... I mustn't give away the secret to Swanson humour -- it is a genetically engineered secret that has been passed down from time immemorial.

Wow. I'm an Uber Geek? Froody!
