I like my blogging buddy, MCF. I really do. But he’s decided to launch this blog bracket contest thing, pitting blogs against one another in the same format that sports teams often compete. My problem with it is this – in the first round, my contender is a family blog called, appropriately enough, The Bayer Family Blog, which really fits, given that their name is Bayer and they’re a.. uh.. family.
Now, that’s all fine and dandy. They all contribute to it, including their lovely daughter Elizabeth, who tends to post things like this..
What’s your favorite type of cheese?
Cheddar, I guess..
Whereas I tend to post things like this..
The poor, unsuspecting rapscallion who dares to order an Amstel is bound to be the recipient of merciless teasing for assorted reasons such as the rather bland taste of the product and the lack of creativity in the labeling, but mostly for the slight alcoholic content of 3.5 for which Amstel Light is famous.
Do you see where I’m going with this? There’s plenty of room in the blogosphere for family blogs that are peppered with delightful discourse from children, AND slightly naughty blogs that are satirical in nature.. but MCF is asking you to CHOOSE between the two, and some people who’ve responded to his original post have actually chosen the family blog. I guess these are people who prefer..
Tattoo??
Ewww!!
To..
The White Party consists of thousands of gay dudes, with nigh a lesbian to be had – many of whom ALSO tend to run up and down the halls nude and go for moonlight swims sans clothing.
Pit a sweet little girl against a 40+ year old smart-ass and the darling is sure to win every time – if anything, just so as not to hurt the feelings of one so innocent and unspoiled. She likely wouldn’t even be allowed to READ my blog, so shame on you, MCF.. you best pick a different hotel to stay in during White Party Weekend.

The nerve of that Bayer family – competing with our Rhodester. It made me want to take an aspirin. Then I checked out their blog and discovered that their favorite vacation spot is FLORIDA and one of the family members got crazy and sang and danced to a show at Disney World on their last visit. My heart melted, and I decided that their blog is the best thing since sliced cheddar. Sorrr-eeee.
It’s not about that. It’s about Jack Daniels VS Diet Sprite.. Black Snake Moan VS Horton Hears A Who.. Led Zeppelin VS High School Musical..
silly MCF
Making brackets is HARD. The monkeys with darts did their best to make logical pairings, but then we kind of had a few leftovers that just went wherever we had open slots. Plus, and I realize this is the flaw in the concept, as the rounds get whittled down the matches will make less sense. Most people are predicting Darrell vs. Lorna in the conclusion. What unscruplous fiend would pit his favorite granny against his favorite redneck just to increase his blogs hits? WHO would do such a thing, I ask you? WHO?!
Hey, at least I didn’t pit you against Coffeesister in the first round.
And “nigh a lesbian to be had”, while an oxymoronic statement, also convinces me to avoid that hotel.
Seriously though, I’ll think the bracket thing through more next time. You do make a good point about pitting G against PG-13.
Okay, you’re forgiven. You may come to White Party Weekend, but stay out of the hot tub for your own good.
I’m refusing to get pitted against someone who isn’t even blogging at the moment. But, the rest of you guys could all just give up and give the granny her due.
As far as I’M concerned, you’re the cat’s meow! AND his little red play toy.
