Thanks to Blog Father Harvey of Bad Example who some how convinced Pamibe to make a nice logo for my BlogCrawl. Take a look at this nice design! If you are participating, please feel free to snag a copy of it for your site. Display it proudly!

Harvey also has a nice post up and created a blogroll for the Frizzen Family. Apparently my other blog father, Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks doesn't care about his family as much as Harvey does.

If you want a refresher on the rules and condition of the BlogCrawl, check out this post.

I went out with some poeple from work tonight. Drank some I did. fingers numb. I figured with the BlogCrawl coming up soon that I should practice a little. Obviously I'm not quit to TIG's expert level yet.

We went out and did some Karioke (SP? yea, I can't spell it right now, and I don't care!) When I'm feeling a little bit more... sober I'll give details. Lets just say Grau's blackmail of my singing Wind Beneath my wings to littleJoe has nothing on what I did tonight. fortunately there is no photographic evidence this time! Else I'd be in jail and divorce court.

At least my wife didn't lock me out of the hosue this time.

I'm going to have to do much worse better next weekend on my "social lubrication" levels.

Now I just have to figure out how the hell I burned my ahdn.

I have received many different volunteers for the Blog Crawl. However, I have not received any suggestions on what day would work best for everyone. Right now IÂ’m thinking Saturday, July 30th that is one of the last Saturdays I have free. I know that is over a month away but that gives everyone time to prepare and get ready. It also allows time for e-mails to be sent and responded to. Unless you are TIG who either doesnÂ’t read his e-mails or just chooses to ignore the ones from me. Especially if they want to set up a blog meet around this.

IÂ’m also thinking that since we have many different people that live in different time zones that want to play, that IÂ’m going to have a large window to participate. So starting at 7 PM until 7 AM CST the next day will be the times. It doesnÂ’t mean you have to participate for the entire 12 hours, just put your drunken comments up during that time frame.

I received an e-mail asking for the rules. Okay, here are the rules:

A) You have to be 21 years old to participate. I donÂ’t want some minorÂ’s parents coming back and saying I told them to get pissed drunk and go on the internet. If you are under 21, you may still participate, as a designated blogger.

2) Drink as much as you comfortably feel you should. This is for fun, I donÂ’t want to have blog fodder stories involving charcoal slurries and ER visits. Be responsible, especially if you have to drive. IÂ’m saying right now that if you do something stupid and hurt yourself I will make fun of you. I am neither legally, morally nor ethically responsible for anything you do either in the real world or on the internet. You are all adults and responsible for your own actions.

D) Please attempt to limit the Blog Crawl comments to the time frame listed. Just so, itÂ’s easier to track. Not that IÂ’m going to link to every single post that has a comment on it, I just donÂ’t want to search for them Sunday to see what everyone said. Oh, and a drunken post on your own blog is perfectly acceptable and I will link to those.

4) Try to leave a comment on every blog in the Bad Example and Frizzen Sparks family. You may use my side bar as a reference if you donÂ’t know who they are. Do not feel limited to these blogs only, go ahead and hit any other blog you would like as well. Oh, and a drunken post on your own blog is perfectly acceptable and I will link to those.

ThatÂ’s it! IÂ’m not asking much, again this is for fun. ItÂ’s not that I think anyone would get pissed drunk, jump in a car kill a family of 4, then jump on the internet and start a blog war while intoxicated. I just need to cover my butt legally on the off chance that happens.

If anyone has any objections to this date, or wants to suggest another one, please leave a comment.

1 **checking out bar and verifying sufficient quantities are on hand.**

That date is actually perfect - I'll still be celebrating my birthday!

WooHoo......I can't wait to see this!

2 Who is this T1G to whom you refer? And why won't he answer your e-mails? Does he have a gmail account that hasn't been working like so many others?

But the 30th does sound like it may work! I'm in.

3 What's with all the disclaimers, you citizen of a mad litigious nation, you?

I'm told that I once spent a few days in Scotland on a pub crawl, and if I remember anything of that trip, the charcoal was the best bit. Damn fine stuff for settling the stomach in my opinion. I'm fairly sure you can get it over the counter in Glasgow.

Posted by: Sally at June 18, 2005 02:57 PM (crWt/)

4 "I don’t want to have blog fodder stories involving charcoal slurries and ER visits." LOL!

And Sally cracks me up.

OK, one other thing, disclaimer on mine, if people get really fucking rude on my blog, I'm deleting their comments. Just sayin'... I'm all for fun and I'll laugh my ass off at y'all, but being drunk is no excuse to be a complete asshole.

Posted by: Bou at June 18, 2005 09:53 PM (z7nbM)

5 Sally, yea I know. But anymore you just need to cover your own ass.

Bou, I have no problem with that. That's part of the people taking responsibilities for their own actions. If they are rude or just nasty comments. I'd delete them too.

Posted by: Contagion at June 18, 2005 10:32 PM (977gQ)

6 I ain't deleting shit.

Mostly because I have no sense of either decency or shame :-)

Posted by: Harvey at June 19, 2005 12:30 PM (ubhj8)

7 Tammi and I will both be celebrating our birthdays!! this should be fun!

And I think Contagion was drunk writing this...Mr A, 2, D, 4.

That's why you're my favorite Bruncle!

Posted by: Sissy at June 19, 2005 02:16 PM (uXS+O)

8 Sissy, you are the first person to point that out. I did it intentionally. In fact I generally number stuff like that as a joke.

Posted by: Contagion at June 19, 2005 03:33 PM (977gQ)

9 Can undrunk adults play?

Posted by: Jo at June 20, 2005 03:58 PM (eY7Ar)

10 Wow, if I happen to think of this next month, I'll look at some of the posts, at the very least. Who knows, I may even buy a case of Budweiser or Guinness and have at it along with you.

Posted by: Stephen at June 22, 2005 09:20 AM (fO0MB)

11 Count me in!

A rules clarification -- so, as I read the time frame, I should plan on already being drunk by the start time, 7PM CST, right?

Posted by: Ogre at July 14, 2005 10:03 AM (/k+l4)

12 Ogre, you can be drunk by 7pm if you want. I'm just asking for the drunk posting to start no earlier then 7PM.

Posted by: Contagion at July 14, 2005 10:26 AM (Q5WxB)

13 I'll try to be as drunk as I can be. Its for the cause ....... right?

That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom has a post about the dangers of drunken blogging. He asks of his readers, that if a drunk commenter shows up on their blog, to chase them off. I for one say no. Actually I say, “Hell no!” I like drunken commenters. They are interesting, they make for fun, and they are highly entertaining.

In the comments of this post, I started jokingly suggesting that: “What we need to do is get together one night, start doing shots and tag team drunk blogging... We can hit the entire Bad Example Family. It'd be a BlogCrawl instead of a pub crawl.”

As soon as I typed that, I thoughtÂ… yeaÂ… thatÂ’s not a bad idea. A BlogCrawl. Designate a date, time, and get a bunch of drunks posting on blogs. Now, IÂ’m trying to get some volunteers together to join me in this BlogCrawl. On one of my free nights, I am planning on getting very socially lubricated and leaving a comment on every blog in both the Bad Example and Frizzen Families. WhoÂ’s with me? WeÂ’ll set a date and go from there. If people want to turn this into a blogmeet for more social interaction, more power to you. If you canÂ’t get away and just, want to drink with other people online. LetÂ’s go for it! If you donÂ’t drink but want to watch the ensuing highjinx, GREAT! ThatÂ’s why I want to do this!

All I need to do now is work on the logistics of this. I need some volunteers and then we need to pick a night and let things go from there. If you want in, drop me a line or leave a comment and IÂ’ll start working out details with everyone.

Hey, I just had an ideaÂ… if we plan this right I can get a bunch of drunken bloggers to invade HarveyÂ’s homeÂ… A Blogmeet, BlogCrawl, House trashing! ItÂ’s a trifecta of fun!

4 Count me in.....I'm just limited to every other weekend......but damn - that sounds like fun!

5 Ya never need and excuse to drunk blog/comment...but it's always nice to have one :-)

Keep us posted!

Posted by: Sissy at June 14, 2005 07:39 PM (uXS+O)

6 Oddy, you want to go nekked, be my guest!

Grau, Drunk bloggin at my house will be hot.. No AC.

Sissy, I'm not looking for an excuse. I'm looking for partners!

Posted by: Contagion at June 14, 2005 07:59 PM (977gQ)

7 Holy crap. Why am I not surprised by this?

I'll post a link to think tonight.

NOOOO!, your blog mama won't be participating. I don't drink. But I will be the sober one saying to you the next day, "Wait. You don't remember when you..."

Posted by: Bou at June 14, 2005 08:14 PM (z7nbM)

8 I'm with Bou here, I will be your memory for when your real one invariable fails.

Posted by: littlejoe at June 14, 2005 08:35 PM (QJRRo)

9 Screw a bunch of blog-chaperones! Let the partay commence. BTB (By The By) I've drunk-blogded 'afore, so don't give me any crap if I seem coherent.

Posted by: Johnny - Oh at June 14, 2005 09:38 PM (6XYy1)

10 Hehe - Sounds like fun ... although I am severely time-challenged, being on the left coast. Then again, since I'm a lightweight, that might work to my advantage!

Posted by: Barb at June 14, 2005 09:55 PM (g9qHI)

11 We are supposed to be "drunk and funny", I have trouble being "sober funny"

Posted by: ArmyWifeToddlerMom at June 14, 2005 10:57 PM (T6/Ls)

12 hmm, I'm interested.

But if I'm not out of my parent's house then I will have to be a Designated Driver as well. My parents have a strict rule about not bringing alcohol into the house. My land lords do to, but what they don't know can't hurt them, and if I have to, I'll keep the alcohol outside in my car and run outside, take a shot, then blog, then repeat.

Posted by: Aris_Ravencroft at June 14, 2005 11:29 PM (M7kiy)

13 I think it goes without sayin, that I'm in. Don't want anyone to feel alone, says I.

Posted by: That 1 Guy at June 15, 2005 01:09 AM (ucput)

14 I'm in. After seven and at weekends, anything goes!

Posted by: Sally at June 15, 2005 04:32 AM (crWt/)

15 This is SO immature.

I'm game.

Posted by: Harvey at June 15, 2005 07:35 AM (ubhj8)

16 How is this immature? Haven't you ever done a pub crawl?.. Same thing... only blogs.

Posted by: Contagion at June 15, 2005 08:42 AM (Q5WxB)

17 This isn't enough though, we have to figure out rules to actually turn it into some form of drinking game....

Posted by: Graumagus at June 15, 2005 09:44 AM (H0uKO)

18 Christ, leave it upto the BEF to come up with this.

Before you know it, Evil Glenn will be announcing it on his blog and it will catch on across the country.

Posted by: Machelle at June 15, 2005 10:22 AM (ZAyoW)

19 Awesome. I'm starting now, you people just catch up.

Well I'll be on vacation with no computers (no electricity most of the time) for the next two weeks, so I'll just drink a lot and pretend I'm posting if you do this soon.

Posted by: Ogre at June 15, 2005 10:41 AM (/k+l4)

20 I'm game! Is it drunk and nekkid or just drunk? I'll do both, long as the kiddies are asleep. No need to scare them...

Posted by: Julie at June 15, 2005 12:29 PM (7yw1H)

21 I think Machelle's got a point. If the Carnival of the Recipes got an Instalanche - why not this?

I hadn't thought about the time difference. Holy Shit, am I in trouble! I think I'm at least six hours ahead, so I'll be the first passed out in the bathtub :-D

Posted by: Sally at June 15, 2005 01:05 PM (crWt/)

22 There have been many questions about the clothing option for this. Clothing is optional, I will leave this up to the individual. However if you do strip down, I do expect pictures!

Sally, Yea, the time difference is going to be harsh on you. You'll either have to stay up really late or just be the first one out.

Posted by: Contagion at June 15, 2005 01:35 PM (Q5WxB)

23 For all of you who are wondering if this is clothing optional, especially the ladies, you can just come over and use my computer. My address is ***(removed by moderator)***, and I would love to ***(removed by moderator)*** with you.

Thanks.

Posted by: littlejoe at June 15, 2005 03:50 PM (QJRRo)

24 Hahaha! Nekkid blogging, maybe ... webcam or other pics ... No Friggin' Way!

Posted by: Barb at June 15, 2005 04:10 PM (4QSOR)

25 I'll give it a go.

Posted by: peemil at June 15, 2005 04:10 PM (awYQ8)

26 Sally--I'm in the UK too, so we can both pass out early...no shame in that!
