Lost Links
Invariably with my viral links, I left out blogs I meant to have included. I’ve left Average Joe Blogger out twice now, even though I thought about him prior to writing the Pirate Links and probably the previous list too.
I’ve also found some new blogs through linkbacks too. So, I decided to do a mini-viral link list for the people I accidentally omitted and also the recent blogs I have found. And, I most certainly have to include Skittle’s Place, who also does links in the form of prose, who I found by way of this post: “A Viral Link Project.”
Plus, I added a few more to help fill out the story.
If you want to get in on future listings, just link to my blog so I’ll “feel” the ping. Better yet, leave a comment on my blog, and there will be even less of a chance of me missing you.
This story will be about a crew who has been left on a desert island after having been ransacked by a group of pirates.
“Where are we, Captain?” asked Bloggrrl.
“It appears to be a deserted island,” said CHESSNOID.
“Heck if I know,” said the Captain. “I was minding my own business, reading the Net Business Journal, when next thing I knew, this burly peg-legged brute pulled me out of the john and knocked me unconscious. I woke up here, which seems to be A Nice Place in the Sun.”
“I say we find those soulless savages and demand back our ship!” cried Average Joe Blogger.
“Teach Me to Make Money Online,” said The Copywriting Maven.
“We’ve got more important things to worry about,” answered (The Blog Formerly Known as) Taosbound.
“You want A Little Piece of Me, punk?” asked The Copywriting Maven. “Well, do you?”
“Let’s move Beyond the Rhetoric,” said the Captain. “I think I’ve been here before. We just have to take the Road Less Unraveled, then pass through the Back Lot Projects until we reach Skittle’s Place.”
“Neatorama!” exclaimed the Nerdy Nomad.
“I’ve Tried That, Captain,” said Brave New Traveler. “And I wound up at the OFW Center and all I got for my trouble was a broken BlueJar.”
“That’s just Easy Tech Talk,” said Shaun Low. “You can’t get there from here, Captain.”
“Does anyone else hear voices?” asked the Blog Duck.
“That’s just Voiceovers by Tim McLaughlin Blog,” said Bloggrrl. “Just ignore it, and you won’t even notice them after a while.”
“I say we beat those pirates at their own game,” said Average Joe Blogger. “We should look around for some Market Treasure! That’s How I Will Be Rich!”
“Those dirty pirates took all my Writer’s Notes and my Adsense Tips!” cried The Copywriting Maven.
“Let’s get them all on Bloggings Most Wanted!” said The Alien Next Door. “Once the show airs, they won’t be able to go anywhere without people recognizing them!”
“Yes!” The crowd cheered.
“First, we have to get off this island!” exclaimed the Captain.
Suddenly, they all turned as they heard the sound of a creaking door.
“Knock it off down there, you kids! We have Moms Writing! We can’t Think Like Them with all that racket you’re making!”
“Ugh, but Mom!” said the Captain.
“You just Blog That Outside or there’ll be a world of hurt waiting when your father gets home!”
Disappointed, the kids all went home because it was way too hot to be playing outside.
That was very creative. I appreciate the mention.
I’m glad you woke up on A Nice Place In The Sun! This post was a lot of fun to read and I really enjoy your blog!
Thank you! You Rock!

Now you’ve done it! I had to go and stumble you again…what is it gonna take to get you to guest on the NBJ? Short of $$$…I’ll do anything and keep in mind I do have a child soon to be born that will need a name….
You’ve never asked me before. I’ve had one person ask me, but after I said “Yes,” I never heard from him again.
Do you want to take that risk, ’cause I have no idea what happened to the other guy.
I would be curious as to how you would explain that to your wife.
Of course, there is always the option of branding.
And for the stumble: Dziękuję.
Wow! How’d you come up with that one? Beyond thanks, please and Piwo…I’ll have to refer you to “Mom”
As for “branding”, that one is definitely going on MomsWriting!
The reason I hadn’t actually proposed the guest spot on NBJ yet is because I’ve actually been considering something more…um…regular, in keeping with the newspaper theme I really want to come up with some way to include columnists more than guest posters…I have two of you in mind right now but I’ll bounce this off of you first…what say you??
Wow! Thanks for thinking of me for such an honor. I’d want to know more before committing to anything, but it is definitely an interesting proposal. Contact me privately by eMail when you have the details worked out.
Holy Cow! That was some fun reading. I love this so much. How the heck you managed to pull that off, I’ll never know. Thanks for the link lovey dovey.
Great post! Creative and fun to read. I might just have to borrow that idea. Maybe even make it into a traveling story-meme (linked all back to you, of course!). Had to stumble it too, I’m afraid…
ha, that was great. the first time i’ve seen a post quite like that. nice job! and thanks for the mention.
dcr,
Thanks for including Writer’s Notes in this one! You really seem to have a knack for creating these stories! Very entertaining!

Aye, m’hearty, the pirate’s life for me. Thank you for the mention and the fun read!
Nice stuff. Thanks for the Voiceovers by Tim McLaughlin Blog mention.
Now that’s hands-down the coolest link post I’ve ever seen.

Haha, awesome!
The best part is that it’s filed under Linkbait…haha.
Talk about swell, gnarley, and all those other sweet underused terms.

Hilarious. Even better than linkbait, it makes sense. Spooky.
All my best … from our back lot.

very very cool.
bobalicious even.
Great post. I’ll be stopping by occasionally to check out your mischief. If you’re ever in my neighborhood, say hi.
[...] For my next viral list, “Pirate Links,” I opted to tell a story rather than a song. A story is definitely easier than a song, as you don’t need to rhyme or match beats. I followed up shortly thereafter with “Lost Links.” [...]
so creative!
