You Should Have Seen the Links Leaking!!!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 11:46 am

Did You See That?

People came to see what Open Comment Night was about and were we surprised when we had a guest visit from — the one and only code-writing donkey himself, BASIL! We also saw sights of the world both natural and virtual. Then the links started leaking as they always do.

The Link Leak Virus seeped into every thing we saw. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was great fun having you!

You should see the links that were shared.

    How about a blogging fiesta, coupled with sombreros, lots of tequila, and a metaphorical pinata? (in actuality, every time you “hit” the comment button, the word “candy” will pop up — unless you have a popup blocker)

      “We’ll invent the Donkey Keg just for you” - That was me :)

      The visit from Basil was nice. Too bad he ran off before we could see if it’s possible to get a donkey drunk. Maybe next time?

      I’m still laughing inside about the Starvin’ Marvin’ Episode of South Park. I actually saw that when it aired on TV and now to have a link to visit when ever I want to see it is great.

      Yay link virus!

      Hey Sean,
      I’m delighted you had a grand time! That’s what Tuesday nights are about. :)

      Something we should add next week is an official Taco Tuesday.

      We have that at my local El Torito Mexican Restaurant. Yummy tacos for 50 cents but at Open Mic night, they could be free.

      I like cooking at the BBQ but maybe El Torito will donate some tacos next week?

      Speaking of food… I have a lunch meeting in about an hour that I need to get ready for.

      Have a great day Liz. Thanks for another amazing Open Mic Night.

      It sounds like it was sooo fun! I wanted to stop by. But, I was updating a friends website and even though I didn’t stop until 11pm, I’m still only about 1/3 done with everything she gave me yesterday!

      It’s great that she’ll have all that new stuff. But, I don’t think she appreciates what I gave up on a Tuesday night!

      Hi Katie!
      Thanks for missing us. We missed you too! There will be lots of other Tuesday nights and you’ll be part of all of them. :)

      Scandalous at Jessicadoyle.ca said

      [...] Been witting writing around the blogosphere much of late. It has been fun. I feel like I am back from something but am not sure what I am back from. Maybe a true vacation, combined with a little trust and spiced with emotion! I feel scandalous. I like that word scandalous. I don’t think of it as a negative word. It is more like a rollarcoaster of events that leads one to where she is now. That is what scandalous means. Yeah! And how can being happy be considered bad? I, Jessica Doyle am happy [...]

      Hey, Liz, it was fun! I think next week we should do Margaritas to go with the tacos.
