Giving It The Old Jamaican Bobsled Try...
Monday, August 25, 2008 Either someone really thinks I am hot, or they are pulling a Carrie on me. But it's official. Some kind soul on the internet nominated me to be on the Hot Blogger calendar. My category? Males. Not "dad bloggers who have a six year old boy, who live in LA who drink Newcastle and build Lego sets and went to China within the last 3 months." I might actually make it in that calendar. Nope, my category? Anyone out there who blogs and pees standing up.
Whomever it was, I thank you. It was nice getting a direct twitter from the Hot Blogger Calendar folks informing me that I was nominated. And in your honor, I will give this my best shot.
Ready?
Hey readers, lurkers, friends and relatives! It is my blogiversary!! The Busy Dad Blog is one year old! What started out as a fun way to avoid having to read books on the train has turned into this crazy thing that is careening out of control. And I love it. Thank you ALL for keeping me motivated. And thank you to my family especially. Fury provides the fodder that keeps you entertained and d Wife sacrifices her quality time with me just so I can keep up with this silly hobby of mine. You rock like Newcastle, Lisa. Or should I say Newcastle rocks like you.
If I'm allowed to ask for one blogiversary gift, it's simply your nomination. Being nominated once put me on the preliminary list. Additional nominations keep me there. I can't win this thing, but I'd like to at least get on the final voting pool. Maybe I'll take a screenshot of it to show Fury one day. "See? Your old man was kind of a stud back in the day."
The folks at the calendar determine the final pool by how many nominations I get, so click on over and nominate me. Give an old guy a fighting chance, because honestly, I don't have one:

Done! Good luck.
Congratulations!
Oh... and.. nominated! :-)
Woo Hoo! Way to go. Do you get, uh I mean, have to take it off? You're way cuter than Jar Jar.
Am I the first? And can I only nominate you once? Because dude, you were my first bloggy crush! Heading over there now....
I got your back!
KEEP BELIEVING
Consider my vote in. Just don't go getting a big head about it, okay? :P
(I nominated, is that how you vote? Or was I supposed to go somewhere and vote, too?)
Congrats BD, on both the nomination and the blogaversary! I will go cast a vote in your direction. But if you think your hot stuff, don't let that cue ball get to big before you go read the latest post. Not only am I a MInivan Milf (congrats on the Volvo BTW) but now I am a hot commodity up on the auction block!. Now I'm no pin-up girl like you, but I've only been at this for 2 1/2 months.
Done! Gotta admit...felt a little weird nominating you based on hotness though.
Uh.....hmm. You see that game last night? Monster Trucks?
Happy Blogiversary! One year, man. That's a long time to blog, and you don't totally suck yet, either!
And yeah, no disrespect to the missus, but um, you're dead sexy, yo. Even the Donor was all, OH, he's a fine looking man. You're totally the Asian Blogging Brad Pitt. Even dudes think you're hot. Casa Del Mr Lady will cast their votes for you!
Done and Done - your hotness is nominated
Done. :)
Not done as in voted, but done as in will vote when voting opens. I think. I'm not even sure how that works over there, but I'll figure it out. :)
I think you have officially moved into whoring status. You'll be so nominated after this, they'll give you two months.
Happy Blogiversary buddy!
BD, the calendar wouldn't be complete without you. Considered yourself nominated. Again.
Done.
Oh, and I cited your Distinguished Gentleman post as proof.
Do they have nominations for guests on blogs?? If so, your firefighter friend so should get a nomination too!
Congrats on your blogiversary!
*raises a beer and clicks over to vote for your hot ass*
Well, Happy Anniversary BD! Woo Hoo! I'm only a few months behind you but you're waaaay ahead of me ;-)
I'll go nominate your happy arse.
Congrats hon!!!
Happy Anniversary. And congrats on the nom. Now, if you win, you are keeping your clothes on for this right?
I thought the McDLT was ingenious. Just like your nomination.
I'm passing on this one. Sorry. LOL.
Dude, we have the same blogiversary! Have a good one. And good luck.
Only if you promise to autograph my copy...
Of course I'm voting for you!
I will vote for you if you vote for me. Wait. I can't pee standing up.
Yet...
Voting for you OF COURSE.
Will Fury, Krypto or BJ be in the picture?
Happy Bloggiversary, good Sir! You appear to be in esteemed company! You've got my vote to be Blogger King!
Congrats on the blogaversary!
Happy Blogaversary! Maybe they'll let the two of us share a month, like October so we can wear costumes - we could be Gene and Ace!
Congrats. Please no banana hammocks if you win.
Happy blogiversary! Cop Rock. I remember that. Off to vote...
Dude, the poor fools chart above?
Hands down AWESOME.
Plus I think that I liked the McDLT.
Congratulations on the anni and the nomination! I shall head on over now. :)
'Tis the least I can do. Happy Blogiversary man!
Duly nominated! And Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary Jim! The Mc DLT? They had to drop it when customers came up with a new tag line: "It keeps the whole thing lukewarm".
Oh, don't let those calendar people make you wear a banana hammock. They'll tell you it's all about "The Art", but that's all just BS. The truth? They want to sell more calendars by showing all the ladies where your "publish" button is. Don't fall far it. Word to the power.
Are you kidding me?? You SOOO deserve this. (well, I assume, never having seen you in person) But I'm going over to nominate you again now, your awesomeness.
All I can say is that when I hopped over there to check out another bloggy buddy's nomination, I went to check out the guys. As soon as I noticed you on there I knew it was legit :)
congrats!! And big props to your one-year. You may be a "poor fool"--but I'm thinking you got a huge chance!!!
Glad you were excited. Now I can ask you to return the favor. BTW, it was the tattoo post that did you in :)
Woohoo! Congratulations. Sounds like a ton of fun!
Happy Blogoversary. I'd be happy to contribute and nominate/vote for you!
dude. totally voted for you. mainly cause the karaoke nights at 100 to 1, singing country music, drinking newcastles, learning to drink jack, and basically over all coolness that you exude. and the fact that i want to be you .. well .. i want country listening/sing'n, beer drink'n, whiskey shoot'n friends like you. congrats man. I bet d wife is having a blast knowing ur nominated for hot blog dude. HAHAHAH!!! OMG! I can only imagine! HAHAHAHAH .. PPUuuuAHAHHAHAHAH ...
You've done pretty well at this blogging thing considering you are only a year into it.
Happy blogiversary
Does this mean you have to do a photo shoot in the buff for the calendar? I dont't know if I am old enough to see that. Or if I want to see that.
Not a doubt in my mind that your face will grace a month on that calendar! No doubt at all, because you have no solid competition BD.
I hope I'm there too, oooh, I hope I am too. We aren't holding our breaths for that though, my competiton is stiff indeed.
Happy Blogiversary BD, I can't believe I've known you almost since conception. What a ride!
Congrats on your blogoversary, and the nom ... I suspect you've you've got a LOT better chance than the Jamaican bobsledders ever did ;0
