Oooh, I love pimpin'! First, everyone must go visit Ms. Q at http://acatnamedpi.blogspot.com. She and Chris are my two favorite bloggers! (mrburns)Excellent!(/mrburns)

And of course, I hope you'll all visit me at http://mooalex.blogspot.com. Not as witty or well-spoken as Rude Cactus, but occasionally entertaining in a banal way.

Thanks Chris for the pimpin' forum! Can't wait to visit new blogs.
LJ

OK, I'm Heather and my blog is www.destinyqueen.blogspot.com.

I don't know if I'm totally entertaining, but you can learn what Friday Night with Frank and the Fidos is all about.

Happy Friday, Chris! Enjoy the weekend, I know I will.

Come see me, my duaghter is starting her own business and we need traffic!

or Daughter...rather ;)

Hey feller!

Have the headache too....but have the Friday happys to temper the headache. Tonight = Chianti and maybe EVEN a bottle of Bordeaux, ya know, if I get too thirsty.

Here are three blogs (all completely different one from the other) that I am particularly enjoying lately...

1) HipMamaB - http://www.lalalaland.com/

2) Superhero - http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/

3) True Confessions of an Antisocial Bitch
http://www.antisocialbitch.com/

http://gofugyourself.com - i like making fun of celebrities.

Happy Friday...Isn't it always the short weeks that seem to last forever?

Traffic seems to have drifted over at my place...Therapy Failed...so please come visit. Also, you should stop and see http://www.unspace.net...he has some interesting insight.

my two favorites (besides yours of course Chris!) are actually community blogs.

a community weblog:
http://www.metafilter.com/

a community photo blog:
http://www.scenefrommylife.com/

I like Superhero too (http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/) as well as Callalillie (I hope that's right I can't check here at work!)
http://www.callalillie.com and
Mighty Girl http://www.mightygirl.net

There are several really good blogs by men and their families who are surviving testicular cancer. My brother in law is cancer free now! his is the first one...

vinnysgotcancer.blogspot.com
andrewsride.blogspot.com
timstollery.com

Awesome picture. Have a great weekend:)

I've just been off the radar due to the hurricane, so it almost FEELS like delurking - and it's been a LONG two weeks -

of course I will pimp out MY blog http://sundayschoolrebel.typepad.com

and one of my favorites, Marilyn - http://marilyn,typepad.com/california_fever/

Just saying Hello!

I don't remember the theme from Barney Miller but I am standing on my head and trying to whistle.

I will pimp my own blog www.spuddybuddy.com

I also want to pimp:
www.smackmybooty.com (shameless plug for my husband's blog)
http://guwisays.blogspot.com/

Happy Friday!

Gorgeous photo!

Delurking because you asked us to...

mine - whatawebweweave.blogspot.com

a friend's - smilinbethieboop.blogspot.com

Well, there's always me. Because, you know, I'm just that self-centered.

But the one you really should be reading?
Hello from Oz
My adorable friend with a dog-sitting business that drives her insane. It's a great time.

http://what-direction.blogspot.com/

This is a cool idea, Chris. I'm totally heading back to this post to check all of these sites out as soon as I get this work off my desk. Yikes.

In the meantime, folks can stop by and visit me, if they are so inclined:

The Space Suitcase
www.spacesuitcase.com

Happy Friday!

Just following orders here!! Scince this IS my favorite blog, rather the whole Cactus-Fish family of blogs. I have to say that also REALLY enjoy MissZoot.com and Amalah.com. I also have a blog but it isnt up to par with the likes of the above mentioned, but its mine just the same and I say stuff there that makes me feel good so stop on by and check it out and have a superwonderfabulous weekend!!

Delurking to pimp my site: mmmm, brains.

Also recommending A Socialite's Life because it helps me take my mind off more serious matters.

Have a great weekend.

Chris, I owe you so much for introducing me to such fine musical fare. Keep up with the recommendations because we seem to be on the same musical wavelength. My blog features an eclectic mix of whatever pops into my head. It is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates ... you never know what you're gonna get ... http://cut-2-the-chase.blogspot.com/

Mike

De-lurking at your urging. I've been reading for awhile, in the shadows. Your daughter is beautiful beautiful beautiful! However, I started reading prior to her arrival. Have a great weekend!

Ok - THREE guys post comments? WTF? You need some good male representation. So:

Elisson: www.elisson1.blogspot.com

Velociman: www.velociworld.com

MetroDad: www.metrodad.typepad.com

And I totaly agree with WN's recommendation for www.lalalaland.com. Oh, and I'll whore out my own blog; daddy stuff, politics, surfing, general long-winded rants - it's the blog equivilant of a Phish concert, only without thousands of hippies.

I have been reading and loving:

Bob Gentry

Dell's Diner

Echoesofadream

And...I may as well be my own pimp :D

Amy's Bad Groove

Everyone should read Ampersand (http://claro.diary-x.com/) and Sundry (http://sundrymourning.com) because they are both awesome, awesome women. And you can read me, too, if I may so humbly suggest: Ameliorate (http://sbchichi.blogspot.com).
Thanks, Chris!

Happy Friday! I got pimped by someone else (whoa!) so I am blown away by that. Is it Rude to pimp it again?

Let's see. In addition to lots of them already mentioned here, I really must read
Bonanza Jellybean everyday.

Here's my blog

http://www.danno.org/blogs

And a few of my favorites...

An Audience of One
http://audienceof1.blogspot.com/

Looking Glass Houses
http://junocarlson.blogspot.com/

Ledge End
http://lejnd.blogspot.com/

Waiter Rant
http://waiterrant.net/

I look forward to looking in on all the suggested blogs!

who is barney miller? am i too young for this? :P YAY for friday though!

My blog is incredibly tedious but since you like photography let me suggest Monkeygirl's Photoblog.

Right now?

http://mgno.com

and I'll pimp myself:

http://nonpromqueen.com

TGIF! I'd enjoy it more if I weren't trying so hard to stay awake...

Zoot (www.misszoot.com) is always great entertainment. She's hilarious!
I also love reading Supine's adventures.(www.supinefever.com)
And who could forget Amalah!(http://amalah.typepad.com)

Pretty blogs:
Fox In Socks (http://paigekeiser.typepad.com/fox_in_sox/)
Bertha
(http://www.livejournal.com/users/bertha79/)
Allsorts
(http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts)

I have more links on my blog, but I have to get coffee before I do anything else!

OK, I'll de-lurk to say HI! I've been reading you and Beth's blogs for a while, they remind me of our "new baby days". My babies are now 13 and 16, so I can be nostalgic from this distance. My other (besides you) favorite blogger is Iki at http://www.afterhourspub.com

I'll pimp my best friend... she could use it right now :)

http://survivingaworldofassholes.blogspot.com

Well since we all know about Chris and his Awesome Blog..

I am pimping my own Blog...come see me babble about everything and anything that passes through my mind.

www.tammytalksalot.com

which by the way.. I just noticed... Chris!! you don't have a link to me??? OMG! I am crushed. forever heart broken. And it's all your fault.

Whoops My Bad...Heheh had to empty my cache and reload the links page, lol... sorry Chris.. I see me now, LMAO

I know I'm a dork, lol Feel free to visit me daily to tell me so, lol

::::Snicker:::::

Chris,

there is another blog I read pretty often but not daily (he only posts once a week-week and a half) that's called Anonymous Lawyer....which is obviously the blog of (drumroll) an anonymous lawyer...who is a partner at a big firm in a big anonymous city.

Not sure if this one has mass appeal...but the guy is a fucking RIOT. He baldly says what you think every partner at a law firm is really thinking and because it's anonymous it's completely unapologetic. I LOVE to hate him.

http://www.anonymouslawyer.blogspot.com/

Now I'll check out the dozens of other blogs people have left so far! yay!
good idea

Delurking to say hi, yes it has been a long week. I'm new to the blogging sphere I've actually started with Beth's and now yours. I will however take the time to read some that I have seen here today.

I'm delurking to say hi and how much I enjoy your blog.

My daughter is 17 mths old and reading about your experiences with your baby makes me remember all of the same kinds of things that we went through when we first got her home. I still don't know why they thought we were competent enough to take her home from the hospital, but so far so good!

I'm not pimping my own blog as I gave it up after about 6 or 7 posts, so it's really quite boring. Keep doing what you're doing though. I directed my husband to the alkie mist & moob posts - we both cracked up!

Oops. Forgot to put my name. That's me up there with the 17 mth old & the boring blog.

Hello! And happy Friday!

You all can visit me anytime you want!

I don't know who this is but I love her blog. Simple yummy recipes.

http://not-too-shabby.net/eats/

Oh, and my friend Kate if only for her radio blog. She is quite the music geek. Her writing is good too.

http://ego.dunedan.com/

i'm reading it now ... :-)

well, you people could visit my site if you want free tunes on friday. or if you like to put captions to funny pictures. or if you like peanut butter even though that has nothing to do with my site i just felt like adding it because peanut butter really is yummy even though a lot of people seem to be developing peanut allergies which means they'll never know the joy of peanut butter which ought to be a national tragedy if you ask me.

I will not be pimpin' my blog...I know it sucks, and I'm ok with that. I will however, shove Andy's blog down your throats: www.worldwiderant.com

It has a disclaimer. Any blog with a disclaimer is ok by me ...http://www.worldwiderant.com/archives/002584.html

Not really a blog, but a series of beautiful photos up for auction to benefit Katrina relief. Seems like a cool way for artists to get exposure (no pun intended...)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/katrinareliefauction/

My blog is boring. In fact, I'm the single most boring person on the internetwebosphericalblogdom. Or something.

www.druidlabs.com/bhd

PS Don't go there if you can't handle dying relatives or house-sale angst.

Pimping my own blog:

http://thelisalog.blogs.com/the_lisa_log/

I read too many other blogs on a daily basis to list them all and I'm looking forward to reading some of the ones listed here.

And don't we ALL read the Dooce? Heh.

Not necessarily a lurker but here to pimp my site:

www.zaniesworld.blogspot.com

It's updated about twice a week and sometimes I can even pull out the funny, especially if I had more readers!!! HA!

Love the pic, Chris.

I am SO late about this, but:
Congratulations on your beautiful, absolutely breathtaking baby girl, who has the most amazing head of hair I have ever seen! I wish you and Beth all the best as new parents.

As for the blogs: Most of my favorites have already been mentioned. One site I think is quite interesting is PostSecret: http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

And of course whoever wants to can come by and visit me at http://thiswindow.blogspot.com ... :)

Great idea Chris! I LOVE trollin' around sites :) Haven't quite got it together enough yet to blog myself - soon hopefully - I'll pimp away at that point :)
Wishing you & yours a spectacular w/e!!!!!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one that finds short workweeks seem looooooong :/

I must admit that I am a compulsive lurker and though Im not really ready to admit that I have a problem yet, Im going to go ahead and pimp my site nonetheless.

digitalphiltrum

this gives me a whole new list of sites to lurk..

Yo. This house is crowded with dem pimpin' types! Dayum! I thought you got hit with a messa comment spammers. Dayum. We a little heavy on da pimps and light on da HOES! Bring on da hoes! It's friday! Where da hoes at? Dayum. Ahight. I gotta make like a baby and head-out. I gotta make like a hockey game and get the PUCK outta here.

Peace out.

Blog on,
Sam

I recently started a little gift shopping blog/guide:

www.giftedguide.com

Rude, baby, this is good. I've visited alot of these blogs today. But friend, your spouse's post today is da bomb! Talk about putting it all out there.
C'mon I think the gauntlet has been thrown down.
Top that.

Oh well, everyone else put their's, I'm just being chicken. Go ahead and check it out. Maybe I'll be inspired to start again & improve it. Hope you don't fall asleep. :)

http://mystuffandthings.blogspot.com/

I'm kind of in the same boat, lacking updates recently because I've been so flippin busy - but hoping to redesign soon and get some fresh content and pics up

Plugged and pimped

I continue to get a kick out of Michele--www.micheleagnew.com

I can't wait to check out some of the other links!

well I won't pimp myself (I'm a girl, I'm fairly attractive, I have two legs and this is the internet...you do the math) but I will pimp a very important book that seems to be missing from your little list. "Youth and Revolt" by C.D.Payne...one of the only books to ever make me nervous that someone saw me giggle to myself, making me look around with shifty eyes just to check.
read it...you will giggle like a school girl---> http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385481969/qid=1126311941/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-9186955-5976807?v=glance&s=books

These are blogs, aside from yours, that I read daily. Aside from my smokin' site, that is. But I post sporatically so it wouldn't be right to pimp my own.

Cheers!
