Five Questions
One of the bloggers in the frequent folder here is Avitable. At the top of his homepage, he is riding in a convertible eating an ice cream cone. The other passenger is Adolph Hitler. The slogan below that is “tact is for pussies”.
He was recently sent five questions by Hilly. He invited his readers to give their answers in his comments. This is a “green” blog that recycles. These five questions will make the nucleus of a dandy post here.
1.) What is the one thing that a blogger can do to really annoy you? The one thing would be music players with auto start. Jasmine Cannick has an auto start player. It would have been rude to turn it off, so I had to hear a performance by Shirley Q. Liquor.
2.) Even though I HATE this phrase, do you consider yourself an “A List Blogger” or do you see it a different way? I am lucky to get into double digits most days. Technorati has me in the top 800,000. In honor of our new president, I am going to claim to be an ” O List Blogger”.
3.) If you did not work for yourself, what kind of job would you like to have? Something that does not cause brain damage, and where the checks don’t bounce.
4.) If I dared you to talk dirty to me, could you do it? Why or why not? It depends on who “I” is. If it was Avitable, I seriously doubt it. Mostly, I feel silly talking dirty.
5.) How many folders do you have in Google Reader and what are their labels? There is a file on my machine which does not allow me to use google products. This is the reason I went from Blogger to wordpress. As for the whole rss thing…I just do it manually. I have a frequent folder with shortcuts to the blogs. Drag the thingie into the firefox, and I don’t miss anything important.

Ah yes, those annoying auto-playing music boxes. What’s more annoying is a page that takes 3 minutes to load, when all you went there to do was read about 3 paragraphs. For example, try following a link to an article on Newsweek or the WSJ (gasp) or some other mega-stream media monstrosity and not feeling like your computer has been hijacked by some cyberthug ad monster. Thank heavens for blogs. Especially this one. Be well, Chamblee.
Why are you prevented from using Google products? Do you work for Microsoft?
Thanks for visiting.
The google thing is a long story. The short version is, I don’t know.
How strange! I wonder if it’s your hosts file. Sometimes that can get infected by spyware and they’ll make entries like Google to prevent people from searching how to fix the infection.
I would be very sad without the suite of Google products that I used daily!
Very Nice
