We are having a blog party on New Years Eve and New Years Day. Anyone can join and we will link to participating blogs.

Rules:

  1. Leave a comment in this blog saying you want to participate.
  2. Give your url so I can check your blog. No "adult content" blogs will be linked to.
  3. Write a short post about any New Years type topic (How your year was, a New Years party you remember, and so on.) Do this on New Years Eve (any time on the 31st is ok) or New Years Day.
  4. Let us know the exact url or your post so we can link to you. A link to us in your post would be very nice!
  5. 2 Lazy 2 Blog members can write their posts in this blog if they want.

Aargh Matey! - Write Like A Pirate.

I stopped in at typOasis and found some Pirate fonts. Although not really suited for blogs they are good for website art or print projects. Plus they are cool!

Holiday Games And Videos!

Games

Canada Post has some fun games on it's website. Flying Santa and Build a Snowman are great and appropriate for everyone.

Rudolph's Revenge - Rudolph gets trigger happy. Violent but not gory. (via)

Video

Class Act - Happy Tree Friends salute Christmas in their usual violent and silly way.

Santa and Pics.

Happy Holidays! I just posted some pics in my blogs and earlier I wrote about Santa Claus. Other members have been posting in their blogs. Check out all the stuff and have fun.

Friends Are Fun/Linking To Nonmember Blogs

It is nice to have people read our blogs and leave comments. It is even better when they like us enough to link to our blogs.

Recently I have been commenting on interesting blogs. I do so because I think other members might find them interesting too. It also encourages people to keep blogging - especially when they are just starting out.

If I find a blog I think I will read often I link to it in my Firemind blog. I don't require a link back to my blog (ie - a reciprocal link). I want people to link to me if they enjoy reading me not just because I linked to them.

Bloggers have started linking to 2 Lazy 2 Blog. I wanted to say thanks to them and provide an easy way to find them. I thought a Our Friend's Blogs section in our sidebar would be cool. I discussed this with some members and they agreed it was a good idea.

We won't trade links or link to just anyone. The blogs we link to have to be recommended by a member and not offensive or 'adult oriented'. They should also have a link to us. The blogs also have to be reasonably current - we don't like dead links.

The reason I say "They should also have a link to us" is simple. Some of our members struggle to keep their own blogs and participate here. Linking to nonmember blogs can draw readers away from the blog for a time. I want people to come back and read what we write.

Any of our blog friends can become members of this blog.

Penguin Launching

Happy Holidays to you all! I found this fun little game, Smack the Pingu, a little while ago and figured I'd post it here. It's like a home run derby, but with penguins instead. All you have to do is click the yeti to make it swing. My best score so far is 588.8. See how far you can get the penguins to fly.

Snow Dudes Are Cool!

Those of us who shudder at the thought of freezing our %$$@^ off just to make snowmen need not worry any more. Snowfun is a virtual "snow person" creator. (via).

Penguins! Penguins!

At a Christmas party the topic of penguins came up. Later on I found this Webcam at Monterey Bay Aquarium (via). Birds in "suits" are kind of cute are long as they aren't members of this organization.

I'm Deaf?

Next year my e-cards are not going to have any sound! (Or I will send fewer of them:) )

Three Blogs

I found three interesting blogs recently.

reflections of a penguin - by Quinn. I found that I could relate to some of the things he wrote about. Quinn seems to be writing consistantly so the blog probably won't disappear tomorrow. I also followed his links to some cool sites about penguins which I will post about later.

The Life of Mathew Knightly - by Mathew. He has only three posts so far but it is a start.

This is Life: Through the eyes of Shogun - by Shogun. Shogun and I have had some funny conversations in his comments. He likes to experiment and then fix things up. He has quite a sense of humour too. I just added a link to his blog from Firemind.

Three blogs from three teens in three countries. Check them out and you may like them.

Holiday Songs

I have mixed feelings about Holiday music. I worked in retail and security so I heard too many crappy albums that were only 40 minutes long. There are some great Holiday songs though so I thought a post was in order.

Christmas Music - old favourites and oddball ones like "Christmas At Ground Zero" ( about Nuclear War) and Santa Claus And His Old Lady by Cheech and Chong.

Chanukah Music - I am not too familiar with Chanukah songs. I found these ones interesting and listenable. The first few ram files don't work but the mp3 files do.

I found a Chanukah music special that lasts three hours. You need Realplayer to listen.

Hello again!

Hi all - it has been a while since I posted here.

I just want to wish everyone a very happy holidays and a nice winter break.

There may not be as much snow as past years, and my winter break may be only 5 days, but it will be enough fun to fill a whole year - I hope.

Stay well!
-Sam

Do The Frappr!

Some of our friends have added themselves to our Frappr map. Most members haven't added themselves yet so "do the frappr" and get mapped.

Uncheck the "Create a Free Frappr Account for me" if you don't want your own map.

Cute Bunny!!

I asked Men if he had a big photo of his rabbit Timmie. He said he didn't, but he would take one. Well, you can see that Timmie is a cute bunny. You can comment on the Dutch version of the blog.



Leuk Konijntje!!

Vroeg ik Men of had hij een grote foto van zijn konijn Timmie. Hij zei hij niet, maar hij zou nemen. Goed, kunt u zien dat Timmie een leuk konijntje is. U kunt op de Nederlandse versie van blog commentaar geven.

Google Ad Weirdness

Cheap fares to Liberal
Directly Search over 120 TravelSites for Great Fares to Liberal


This travel agency was really pushing the limit. The ad must have been looking for keywords. The trouble is the ad popped up in a news story about Canada's Liberal party.

Xbox Destruction

When I heard about this, I had no choice but to watch the video. The reaction from all those people waiting for their Xbox 360s must've been priceless. Watch the destruction here.

I figured I would be a dwarf. They have always been my favourite.

This next one... well, let's say it was the one that made me laugh the most.
