Everyone Knew the Time Warps Weren’t the Only Thing

If we could have as many lives to be as many versions of ourselves as we could be, what might we become? The outer limits of Successful-Blog had that conversation and weird musical sounds were heard coming from every category in the sidebar. No one actually said that an extraterrestrial would be a choice, but . . . some thoughts in that direction seemed to come up.

The Link Leak Virus was to be part of the whole operation, whether we were Mother Teresa, Mark Cuban, Lucille Ball, or Donald Trump.The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. But we were in a summertime frame of mind.

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

What Actually Happened?

And this week Rick Cockrum of Shards of Consciousness found a creative way to tell the story of last night’s event.

AdLib is happy just as he is
Fresh bread close at hand, hair down to his chair
His blog back in biz, and music filling his air.

Joe is a lawman,
A wookie for real
Protecting us all with McGyver’s great skill.

Scorpia, too, is content
As she already is
Everyday fantasy is already her biz.

Liz directs song and the dance,
Electronics begone.
Children, flowers and writing Is where she belongs.

Renee comes in singing,
Dancing dog in her arms.
Man and canine alike, she soothes with her charm.

Christine’s in Missouri
Her ballads filling college breeze.
She stopped and said hi before the clock made her flee.

Chris Cree is traveling,
A hero in the stars,
Humming Led Zeppelin, escaping storms in his car.

Seanrox cooked at the barbie,
A feast he laid out
While being James Bond with a bottle of stout.

Douglas dropped in among us,
Just to say hi
Then time warped him away, away to fly.

Ben plays great hockey,
And cartoons on the side,
With Basil his donkey, round the world he does fly.

Starbucker wings in
Home from the West,
Song and dance in his soul, with his wife he does rest.

Cat steps in for a moment,
Still fuzzy with sleep,
Tea in the morning, as to bed we softly creep.

Tony’s in a time warp, two hours behind,
Somewhere he is starving
Drawing comics so fine.

Phil zips by so fast
Pac-man behind him
In a kung-fu world Donkey Kong races past.

Wendy said it was fun
From time zones away.
In the alternate world she stops by to play.

And Ellen pops in
With a comment from home
She read the discussion as a way to be grown.

So another mic closes
It was quite a feat.
We think of you often until the next week.
— Rick Cockrum of Shards of Consciousness

Thanks, Rick, for that great summary! Thanks Everyone, for coming!

It Was Summer Again

Summer breeze made us feel fine, rolling through Open Comment Nights. The fish were jumping and the cotton was high. . . .

Starbucker, we knew we’d see you in September — but once again the evil/good link leak virus had Successful-blog leakng. The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. But we were in a summertime frame of mind.

A Lurker’s Report

Here’s what happened according to Marti Lawrence, comic and author of “Queen Klutz – The Misadventures of a Very Clumsy Woman.”

We didn’t start the choir
They were always lurking
Since Liz has been working
We didn’t start the choir
But she let them write it
Let them open mic it

BBQ, BBC, post today, BB King.
Portugal and summertime.
Labor Day and Techno ring.
Business talk is so sublime

Ben and Joe and Ricardo.
Where did triple w go?
Churchill, Stalin, beer is cold. Beach Boys songs and Toronto.
Who are you? Librarian. What’s your take? Sectarian.
Scorpia and Ricardo. Summer breeze, Wiki blows.

Doobie Brothers, Vacation. Tony, Norway, location?
Moon landing in ’69. Rick and Chris, cubits and stones.
Douglas, lawyers, coloring. Conservation, telephones.
Come on in, the talk is fine. Would you like a glass of wine?

Bloglines, law, embarrassment. Conservation and the Cubs.
Roy, Florida. Tivo, sand. Politics? Everyone shrugs.
Eureka,.beach, mosquito. Renee, dogs to the vet go.
Sky and Basil, olives, Cat. Katiebird, bed? Please say no!

Hungry, Tom, lunch, Seanrox too. There’s Yvonne, 300 woo!
ME has done it again. Marathon open mic night.
Marti couldn’t be here then. But she wrote this condensed spin.
Thanks from LA to Berlin. Liz is great, what a delight!

Thank you, Marti. This is wonderful! Read about Marti’s book and then buy it!

Thank’s Techz and Ram for your International visits too. You’ll get your turn when we do the Open Mic Weekend Marathon . . . 🙂

A weekend marathon?

Wouldn’t it be fun to find out?
I’d just have to think of a super topic!
