Gary, please know that Mark Koopmans and Captain Ninja Alex are to blame. I'm innocent, I tell ya. Someone must've hacked into my account and posted this...
Announcing the "Anti-Blogfest Gary Fest" on Monday August 12, a blog hop in honor of Mr. anti-blog hop himself, Gary at Klahanie. Don't be fooled by his picture. Gary is one of the good guys. Just don't mention "blogfests" to him, and nobody gets hurt.
The rules are *very* simple.
Create the titles of three PG-13 rated blogfests you would never join - and then add a descriptive sentence or two. That's it! For example, per Mark/Alex, I would never sign up for the:
1) Cheesecake & Cauliflower Bloghop - "where dinner and dessert is mixed in one dish."
OR the
2) Blocked up Toilet Blogfest - "where crap happens."
OR even the
3) Alphapet Zoo-mbie Bloghop - "where cuddly undead toys learn how to spell."
Hosted by:Mark “Madman” Koopmans,Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh, "Life is Good" Tina, Morgan "The Morg" Shamy, and me, Rawkn Robyn at Life by Chocolate.

His humor is quirky
He's noble and kind
A sensitive soul
His words lift and unwind
He fights for what's right
A man of virtue
His thoughts on the blogfest:
It stinks more than poo!
So Gary, dear Gary, this bloghop's for you!
Brilliant! Like I would never join the "proud of my disco dancing fashions pics".
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
We are going to rock Gary's world!
ReplyDeleteI've not heard about Gary until now but I love the idea of having a blogfest about him when he's in big opposition of blogfests, even though he's not a fan I think he's going to actually enjoy this!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea
ReplyDeleteHow clever!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are cracking me up early in the morning! LOL
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Gary... but I think this is a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to give this some thought.....
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm just saying I'd probably join a bad bloghop with some toilet humor (I.E. backed up toilets) before I'd join something like "the post every single day and lose all of your free time" bloghop...
ReplyDeletehaha oh what the cat could do at his zoo
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea. I need to spend some time thinking about this one.
ReplyDeleteGary is awesome so, naturally, I'm in! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Will have to think!
ReplyDeleteThis one tickles my funny bone. It remains to be seen if it does the same for Gary, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'll be the first to say, I don't like doing lots of blog hops. I usually don't have the time but I do participate now and then. So I do understand Gary's reluctance.
I'll have to think on this.

Very cool poem! Happy to be in this surprise project with you.
ReplyDeleteTina @ Life is Good
Thanks, all. If you're not following Gary, he really is an exceptionally good, kind man. His posts are well-worth seeing and reading. And this blogfest will be fun for us all.
ReplyDeleteI hope Monday's kind to you.

Ah dearest Robyn,
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to tell you how my heart sings with the exaltation of such a thought-provoking anti-blogfest. I totally believe your innocence in this, Robyn :)
Good thing there is no mention of "blogfests" in your posting. What did I just type? Arrrrgggghhhh! Phew, sorry about that. Feel much better :)
You know I could think of lots of examples on blogfests I would never join. Wonder what they might be...
A blog hop
Make it stop
A blogfest
Just a jest
Mentions of the alphabet
How strange does it get
Thank you my friend
To the very end
And speaking of poo
This thought is for you
I'll flip a coin
Perhaps I might join
Heads or tails
It never fails
Thank you, Robyn
Your bewildered fan,
that I am.
Gary,
I say! :) x
Gotta remember this...mustn't forget...anti-blogs, yeah...hopping's a pit....
ReplyDeleteI see that Gary has seen this bit of awesomeness delivered to his door. FANTASTIC!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. Very funny examples of possible bloghops. Although...I question if cauliflower could ruin the yummy factor of cheescake. I might not be totally against participating in that. The toilet one is a "for sure" I wouldn't participate.
ReplyDeleteCheesecake and cauliflower? Sounds like a craving I had when pregnant.
ReplyDeleteHis site is beautiful, I loved the waterfalls and seascapes.
Hmmm. what would be unappealing? Yodeling Marathons. 101 Photos of Body Vermin: Head Lice, Ticks, and Crabs, Oh My! Okay, that's only two, but I have already squicked myself out.
What a great idea! I bet people will come up with the funniest things.
ReplyDeleteGreat turnaround idea.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Gary, but I do agree that blog hopping just isn't fun. I only do the Wordless Wednesday hops because I find some really great photography from time to time. Otherwise, it's a real pia!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear folks.
ReplyDeleteI think Gary is making more friends already. Lots of people are expressing their dislike for bloghops.
I don't like it when I follow people who don't return my follow (which is happening more and more these days; common courtesy is leaving blogland), and/or when people write long, long (i.e., boring) posts. You have to read at least a portion of it to leave a viable comment.
Be well!

Hey Robyn,
ReplyDeleteLOVE the poem - that is soooo awesome - and very cute of you to take it to the next layer.
(I'm nicknaming you Tiramisu :)
Thanks, Mark, and I love the nickname! Great, great job with this one. xo
ReplyDeleteOh I so would do the blocked up toilet one. That post I did about my former SIL blocking my toilet on Thanksgiving would work well there. :D
ReplyDeleteI've been having a thinking problem lately. If I think I can come up with something, I'll sign up.
This is a wonderful idea! Loved your poem too! Gary is going to love/hate this!
ReplyDeleteJulie
I'm in!
ReplyDeleteHugs Gary :)
Laughing! So glad to be a part of this with you, Robyn. I'm still laughing at the whole concept! The poem was fabulous. <3
ReplyDeleteI read this as Anti-Blog Gay Fest haha
ReplyDeleteYeah, the pic is a little scary.
Thanks for supporting this anti-cause cause, all. It'll be a fun party!
ReplyDeleteHave a good Friday and weekend.
xoRobyn
Thanks for explaining Gary's invention to me. I'm all signed up now. It'll be fun! (And maybe Gary will learn to like blogfests after all. Heh, heh, heh.)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read what people come up with! Great idea...
ReplyDeleteLol. How fun. I like what you came up with.
