Like a Good Cold Sore
Friday, May 15, 2009 A great idea never really goes away. Some of you old school BDB readers may remember this thing I kicked off a little over a year ago called Blog Hoppers? Of all the schemes I ever cooked up to justify recreational drinking, this was my crowning achievement. But like MySpace all things, eventually the blog hop faded into obscurity.
Until Twitter came along. And one blogger's wistful tweet sparked a social movement and a call to action, which I paraphrase as "BuzzeeDad, give us a reason to drink alone at home again! You're our only hope."
BuzzeeDad. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...
And I have answered the call.
BLOG HOPPERS IN BACK. TONIGHT, FRIDAY MAY 15. FOR ONE NIGHT.
and if you are on Twitter, the hashtag is #bloghoppers
Join us, won't you?
I will be reformatting the page today and adding everyone new and old who has requested to be a part of this reunion. Email me, tweet me or leave a comment if you want to be added to the new blog hoppers section (so fellow hoppers know to hop your blog tonight). I just need your name and blog URL.
And now I leave you with a random funny picture:
When you play charades with a kid who just learned to read, make sure he reads the word "Rowboat" the same way you do before you start acting it out, because then the buzzer goes, and one of you is paddling and the other starts breakdancing, all your relatives go "WTF??"

zomfg hilarious.
you know i'm always up for a little :-"
I'm a revoluntionary... who knew. Should be fun. I've been looking forward to this all week. Thanks for hosting the reunion.
Etcetera
Hahahaha - I remember that picture! That game wasn't charades but the name escapes me.
-----
[d Hubby] it was Guesstures! But I don't think anyone knows what that is. And it's basically charades.
Heck to the yes. I'm there.
But you have to be honest and admit that he looks cooler than you right?
And of course count me in tonight!
If I'm already there, can I say "Count me in! I'm SO there!" and not confuse the hell out of you? I still have the badge on my home page, too...the only thing that's been there over a year. Some stuff just has staying power, man.
I'm so in.
So. Very. In.
Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I can be there I will. I'm working tonight. Won't be home until midnight. Don't know if any of you will be sober enough to be blog hopping then. Enjoy yourselves immensely!
So glad to see this for two reasons:
1) I have missed visiting some of my favorite blogs from the past!
2) It's the beginning of Canada's May Long Weekend... a time to camp, get out gardening, maybe dinner on the deck....
and it's snowing.
I need a drink. And a few hundred blogs to hop on by to.
Thanks BusyDad!!! You rock!
Snort. Awesome photo!
We have friends in town tonight though...AND I'm hungover from last night. Good times!
This is so fun. I didn't get an engraved invitation in the Cre8Buzz days, so I didn't feel like a cool kid. But I feel like one today.
Yes, I do: even though anyone could join and I STILL didn't really get an engraved invitation.
But I'm over it. Happy Friday! :)
(and thanks for taking the time to set this up again)
BD, thanks for doing this (the first time and yet again)... you are a party people phenomenonmenon (okay, this is only after one drink!)
Great shot... isn't the Rowboat a new dance?
Happy Blog Hopping, sir!
Thanks for doing this, what a fantastic idea! And when it come to charades, my kid kills. His preschool plays "Animal Charades" they have to act out the animal of their choice. Unfortunatley all of his animals are acted out in the exact same way. It's amazing. Who knew there were so many similarities in the animal kingdom? And who knew a simple game could be so maddening.
Happy bloghopping!
HA HA HA!!! Rowboat...robot...I GET IT!!! (Shhh...its been a long week, mmmkay?!?)
Would love to be included on the Hopper's List! But dammit if I don't have any freakin' beer. Like I said, its been a LONG WEEK.
What a blast from the past! What a great idea. I miss those blog hoppin' nights.
Happy Blog Hopping!

ahhh feck! I didn't get the memo!
Dude! I've launched two new blogs since the old days... My newest site is "Formerly Gracie". Count me in!
And there's no better person to revive the awesomess of BlogHoppin' for than SEcret Agent Mama Mishi ;-)
She is the awesome and this old school OG blog hopper, loves it! ;-)
I'm in, beesh! (yes, you can too call a guy a beesh)
Smartasstic Mom in the house! :-)
Snicker!
I was totally thinking about doing the blog hopping thing tonight and then my internet pooped on me. So I played minesweeper (what is up with the new version? it sucks) and then when my internet came back I find that you are all blog hopping! Woot!
But don't come visit me, my blog is lame lately... ;)
Rowboat? Awesome. Why is there no breakdance move for rowboat? There totally should be. You should invent that shit and license it to So You Think You Can Dance and make
millionshundreds of dollars.And now ... more bloghopping.
Looks like you are doing the Robot not Rowboat.
Had a blast Bloghopping last night. We need to do it monthly... :) <3
Dang! I'm late. I wondered why people were stopping by my blog leaving Bloghopping comments!
So, I had a great time last night. I woke up with my clothes on, which is always a good sign. Now I'm back for round 2!
Can't believe I missed this dude! Man. Having two kids is going o be worse than I thought. I can't even make it to a VIRTUAL night out and the kid ain't even born yet!
Man, your sister is going to be PISSED you are confusing rowing and paddling....
Wraths!!! I'm too late! :-(
Dang it!! I was out of town!!
Dude- is it too late to be added?
I mean is this going to be an on-going weekend thang?
