 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, July 30, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 7S SDBWM Making Comeback? Nothing official yet, but rumors are spreading faster than Anthrax that SDBWM is negotiating with a major blog to be a contributor. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate know that we can not afford him, but we can offer him stock options of up to 50% of the total. We can even offer him a new identity if that is his concern. Not to get into a bidding war or anything like that. Professor Gives Passing Grade For SDBWM Ten Questions All of us at the Holabird Advocate didn't know if our Publisher, Jerry Hinkle was going to be expelled or put on the Dean's list after Professor Powers learned that Jerry borrowed his 10 questions idea from him earlier this week. He took it pretty well, however. He even had to admit that Jerry did an OK job. The Professor has a big 10 questions interview coming up. Nobody will want to miss that. We just wonder what he'll think of the ad that we ran in our little Newsblog last night. Of course, should the Professor find an idea, or anything else here worth using, he is more than welcome to do so. One thing that is getting noticed is the nice little directory he has set up of all of the major (and a few minor) South Dakota Blogs. Much work has gone into it, and he should be proud of it. Look out Ben Hanten. Make no mistake, about it, the Professor is still the BMOC Publisher's Notesby Jerry Hinkle Well, I said that July would be big, but I had no idea it would be this big. The ending of South Dakota Blog Watch was something few of us in the South Dakota blogging Community would have believed, and yet it happened. We got surprisingly little G-mail concerning our 10 questions segment with SDBWM, but I impressed the Professor somewhat. We also got 51 hits that day. A personal best for us. Maybe it was SDBWM, maybe it was the pictures we used in the top story. Either way, we did OK. We made a total of 32 cents on our "Watcher Challenge", but I have a feeling that the Big Guy will click on the ads once in a while for old time's sake. Gonna be a while before we get that first $100 check, but anything good is worth waiting for. Of course, legally speaking, I can't ask or tell anyone to click the ads, I must say I have been tempted to click on the "Hot Iraqi Women" ad a few times myself. Curiosity can be expensive. Emorymas was quite festive, as always. So was July 4th, for me anyway. For three weeks I wondered if, in fact, God himself had told Grandad that he wasn't going to live to see his birthday. Turns out there was a little mistaken identity there. He made it to 103. Just 2 years from breaking the record. As long as he can do and think for himself, there's really no reason to worry. We'll just see what goes between now and 2007. There's nothing saying that I'll be here then either. We all just trust in The Heavenly Father. One interesting development was that we got 2 "Terrible" ratings on our rating poll. We have several ratings higher than that, so we haven't "Jumped the Shark" yet. Ours may not be the biggest blog in the Dakotas. It may not even be the best. I like it, and you do. I know that because the Circulation Department claims that 1 in 3 of you are repeat Readers. It's cool when I impress people like Bernie Hunhoff, Ben Hanten, SDBWM. And even Dave Dedrick himself has liked my work. What I like best is when my family, friends, and neighbors tell me how much they like what I do here. They're the people I have live with, around, and for. Very few complains so far. This stuff is not for everybody. Next months poll is sponsored by People Ingesting Tasty Animals. PITA is protesting the selection of the "Sexyest Vegetarian" award with the "Tastyest Animal" award. They got the Idea from Los Angeles PITA member Jimmy Kimmel. Good thinking, Jimmy! That's all for July. What a long and interesting month it has been. Here is to August being even bigger and better. See Ya'll next month!
