I saw a short respite a few weeks ago where this blog was renamed to something like ‘3-guys bullshitting’, or ‘3-amigos’, ‘3-stooges’ or some-such. I silently approved though I disapprove of only "3". According to the thingy to the left - there are at least 23 of us.
In the continued absence of the founder (Annie/Kim our leather-bound former mistress; apparent purveyor of sexual pain), and in the spirit of we (you, us, and newbies), I vote we vote and tally and all that great sum-such – to take command of this blog which has been ours for a loooooooong time now. It is apparently under no obligation to the founding mistress; monetarily or otherwise... though I believe the new name (if one comes about) should honor her in some abstract way.
I believe it is time we give ‘leadership’ of this blog to one(s) who is (are) fiercely free, free minded, and present. This (these) person(s) should have time to manage and coerce, er… suggest. This (these) person(s) should be from our roots (Tongue-tied) and should be absolutely ‘edit free’.
Though I will cherish my Annie’s T-shirt to the end (You rule BOW!), ‘Annie’ is obviously gone. It’s time we take responsibility.
Your comments are, as always, excessively pissed upon. (Just kidding!)
Again - this is serious blog business.
Your comments are pure gold.
And as my experienced cousin says:
"You can get further with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word. Great danger lies in the notion that you can reason with evil."
The future awaits.
Your good friend, Jimbo.

OK, now that my inner dialogue is pushed back under the rug, I'll simply say that Jimbo is right.
Part of my changing the name a few weeks back, was in looking for Annie / Kim / Madame Spanksalot, in an effort to rattle her out of the bushes. Obviously it didn't work. I've wondered if the bust in Vegas didn't cost her and Jack everything. I got the impression that they were heavily invested there, post the move from CA. It also seemed, that she left shortly after someone suggested a Blog Meeting of the Minds. Was the Annie persona BS too? I don't know. Regardless, we owe her a great deal, for setting this up initially, after we were booted from Tongue Tied.
The reason I changed the banner, was to see IF anyone was really paying attention. It seems that just a few were. Then, much in the vein of this post, I tried to get a show of hands to see IF we ALL wanted to go on, with Annie, as " Annie's" or if we'd lost most of our group. Again, not much of a showing in my opinion.
I'm almost sure I have more time than most of you. I may have more in the short future as my days as a teacher may be coming to an end. (I'll know more by weeks end) I found out yesterday, waaahhh, that the property in the boonies we've been trying to buy, went to someone else, we got outbid. So again, the time I thought I would be spending repairing, directing contractors, etc, is now mine again. Having said all that, it looks like Spider, Bill and I are doing most of the posting anyway. There's very little "housekeeping" to do, so if there's a consensus I'll take over as editor, which seems a strange concept here.
I'm pretty sure I've got everybody's e-mail addx, I'll send e-mails to everybody and see who is interested in going on as a contributor and who is not. That should tell us if we are 23 ACTUAL contributors or not. Also, I think we need to wait until BOW returns from Central America, before we make ANY changes. But I'll send e-mails before that, to start the ball rolling.
I'd like to get some new blood in here too, not really sure how to do that though.
Do we have suggestions from the Peanut Gallery for a new name, or banner?

I was horsing around, but that last one ain't half bad. Anyway, I'll send out some e-mails, to see who's with us.
Wait a minute .. I am at work and I am here. What's wrong with the firewall? Is it broken? Will it be back up? Did they just do some trial period thing? I just don't know but I would like to name it "Missy likes that at least for this moment she can check it online at work and all is right in the world .. if for just this moment"
I think this is a great idea and i'm onboard 100%. I really don't care who's in charge, so long as it's one of us. I also believe there should be a name change. Yes, we all appreciate the fact that Annie (?) set this up, but the way she left was (IMO) wrong. I think she owed us some kind of explaination. Not specific details, but something.
I was also wondering if we should have some kind of sign-in procedure to keep the garbage out, although i think many of you have stated that you don't mind "them" being here. If that's the case, then so be it. And i also agree with Steve, in that, we should wait for BOW to return as he is an important part of "our thing".
Also;
1) I think it should be mandatory for all of our female members to submit personal photos so that we can keep a record of any tatts or piercings they have.
2) That Poots be allowed to say EAT ME as many times as he likes, so long as he comes around more often.
I don't care what the name is, as long as I can continue to read and occasionally comment. I don't have the time I used to have to participate, but I'm still around and hope you all will be too.
But - no picture - my tatoos & piercings are, uh, well, private.
Um, ok Sven. At least it's nice to know you're still around.
[...Oh great...the ex-nyc cop says it's 'cosa nostra'... but we'll wait for the guy with the best tools of torture, to finish his vacation, before we move forward...wtf did i get myself into here...]
Missy, that's a hell of a long name!!
Let's think of a few and vote on them, we'll be very democratic in doing this name change. And I think we should allow ALL comments, regardless, unless they are abusive or "for sale of services or products".
I will say, I currently have no idea HOW to remove comments, so if anyone knows, I'll listen. I've seen it done, just don't know how.
Sending those e-mails asap, been busy looking for a new house so far today.
Jimbo,
I will cherish your Annie’s T-shirt to the end also and in such my picture has been submitted. ;-)
I agree with all that's been said.
How about rename it to: "Trolls are Turds"
...too obvious, Jimbo, it's like one of us guys saying, "...jiggly girls are fun."
What makes you think only guys like 'jiggly' girls?
I know plenty of girls who like jiggly girls, I was simply being polite. And it's none of my business, if that's the case, girl on girlwise. Unless those girls convince an employer that they should get a job instead of me getting it, BECAUSE they are girls who like girls.
[you didn't recognize me being polite, because I don't do it very often that's my fault]

Speak Easy

LOL! Nice list! Apparently, you drink a bit more than i do.;) (LOL)
simply name this place

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE!!
AGREE! AGREE!
No Spider, I'm not a Sopranos fan. I'm half Italian, mom is 1st generation, grandma and grandpa both from Sicily, capice? That, and because of that heritage I guess, I was fascinated with the Mob when I was a kid. I read the "Valachi Papers" when I was 12 or 13.
My mother was THE first one in her family to marry outside of that ethnic cloud. Her sister, All her cousins, male and female married other 1st generation kids. My cousins on that side are all 100% Dago.
Pop, on the other hand, was the All-American kid, Dutch, Irish, Scots and God knows what all. He used to kid my mother by telling her something her (Italian) Uncle Joe used to say, that used to piss off her whole family.
.

"There are two kinds of Italians, those who are IN the Mafia, and those who refuse to admit it exists".
.

I love that line. Uncle Joe was most likely a bag man, from stories that are told.
[and no, I don't have a cousin named Snooki, I don't personally know anyone who's THAT Italian]
As a matter of fact, that little pig "Snookie" is (not) Italian! And that show highlights the need for more mental health programs.
I think i stumbled into TT just as yall were exiting :p and fell into Annie's. Sorta outta da pot and into the inferno.....
