Poppin' Mad!

Mad crazy, not mad angry =P

I made this guy
for the occasion!
I'm crazy excited about today's Pop Travel post over at Father Dragon's lair! It's one of my favorites, with minions and everything (bee-doo, bee-doo). And his birthday was yesterday, so make sure and wish him well.

I also want to thank everybody for the great patience comments on IWSG day - funny, helpful, and hopeful! I'm glad I can refer to them whenever I'm in a snit of panic! (similar to a din of harriedness) But I digress...

Today is also the day for Gary aka Klahanie's anti-Blog Hop! Where we suggest titles to blog hops no one would want to join. I think Mark put him up to it! This is going to be hilarious!

Here are my silly entries:
  1. The Smarty Pants Blog Hop - talk about well-thought out things a teenager says or does... (Sarcasm and pranks don't count)
  2. Nerd Alert Blogfest! List your favorite math problems! (What? I like this one, but I'm sure not many would join me)
  3. Mediocrity Rules Blog Hop - list your top three mediocre characters (I can't seem to recall any, they're so forgettable)
I look forward to reading the other entries. Happy Monday!
And I keep forgetting to put up my August giveaway!

    Smart things teens say? Is there such a thing?
    Looking forward to your visit with Al. His birthday bash was awesome.
    And I like the Minion!

    I would have to say no way on a math blog hop. Unless there were Minions involved, and then I'd have to join in. Love those Minions! :)

    How did I know you were a math nerd? I used to be, until I hit Calculus. Then, I was like, "This is HAWD."

    Great non-fests, Tara.

    Will check that post out. Sorry I'm no math fan but I'd take a peek at the other two hops. Nice minion Tara.

    Many years ago, I might've joined the math blogfest. Now the thought scares me.

    Thanks for your contributions to our Gary-fest, Tara.

    Be well,

    Hmmm...I'm sure I could come up with some Mediocre characters. They'd all come from Twilight (boo, hiss....I know, I know)

    Good choices. I'd definitely pass those up!

    Great blogfest suggestions! I know a few folks who might like the math one. Off to Al's!

    Love your minion!(Aren't they the cutest characters ever?)

    Thanks, but I believe I'll skip your fests. (Good ones!)

    LOL. I am amused by the mediocre characters one for some reason.

    And I'd be running screaming from the maths one.

    I'd probably break out in hives at the thought of a math blogfest. I'm nervous enough about taking the math section of the GRE!

    Wow, you're really trying to get us to think hard!! Smart things teens say? The mediocre characters? And math? Ewww...I won't do any of those!!

    Hey the Smarty Pants Bloghop could be a payback, in response to the teen version, where "outdated" adult rants/raves are in the spotlight. Bad idea? Oopsy doopsy...

    I'd definitely stay away from the Nerd Alert Blogfest. Math problems are anathema to me.

    Hey Tara,

    You can now relax. Yes, finally I've arrived. Yay me! :)

    You are over at the dragon's lair. I shall pop over there when I finally finish popping and non-hopping to al the different non-hippety hoppers who have been involved the irony of ironies festival of farce.

    Your first one makes me want to put on my hoodie and go skateboarding. Or maybe not. Your second one makes me remember I'm very quick at totalling up numbers. I hasten to add. Your third one reminds me of the "Tagonist" family.

    Your non-choices are a fine selection. I'm grateful. I hate blogfests! What a surprise.

    Thank you for the irony, Tara.

    Gary :)

    The minion is so good!!

    I'm sure I said some brilliant things back in my teenage years. Psht, that was SUCH a long time ago. I'm much more mature now :)

    Aw, Monster Inc. Minions are the best :)

    Your blog hop ideas are awesome. I think you're right, I don't know many bloggers that are into math. Best of all is the Mediocrity Rules Blog Hop. You're so funny! "I can't seem to recall any, they're so forgettable."

    My favorite math problem? None of them? lol I'd be steering clear of that one!

    I loved your post over at Father Dragon's blog :D

  36. BevimusAugust 15, 2013 at 3:27 PM

    That minion is ADORABLE!

    And I agree with Alex- I'd actually be really impressed by learning of a teenager capable of well thoughout-out observations and plans.
