"Gee, Your Blog Smells Terrific!"
(For larger photo click here.)
"Pay it Forward Tuesday" is something Deborah Ng came up with on her Freelance Writing Jobs blog. Basically, it's a little of the old "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, and somebody else's as well" concept. So, today she's plugging my blog. In return, I'll plug somebody else's blog, and so on, and so on, and so on. Which actually sounds like a variation on the "and they told two friends, and so on" shampoo concept. (No one born after 1973 will know what I'm talking about. Basically there was some shampoo that, according to the commercial, was so great that the shampooee told two friends, and they told two friends, etc. I tried Googling this; there were many entries saying what a great advertising campaign this was, but ironically no one could agree on which shampoo was being advertised. Mentions included Faberge Organics, Pert (which I don't think existed yet), Clairol Herbal Essence, Wella Balsam, Body on Tap (made with beer), and my own selection, "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!" (Apparently large caches of this are still available in the Phillipines. Along with Tab.))
That was a pretty wild tangent. What I'm getting to is that anyone out there who wants their blog plugged should contact me, and we'll all revisit the 70s together.

p.s. Oops. Do I have to write one, now?
Tim, you should just compile all the insane e-mails you've sent to... people. I'd definitely promote that.
Sadly, I've deleted them all. But there's more where that came from!
Ray,
Greetings from Texas!! Hope all is going well for you. I will try and catch up with you more soon.

I'm ashamed to say I actually bought that shampoo sometime in my teens in the '70's. I still didn't score..
JM,
Dude, no way! Wasn't it, like, for chicks?
