When I was a kid I wanted to be in Karate Kid, good at cooking shrimp, and able to spit fire. Well, looks like the dream boat just pulled in.
I’m gonna keep the mashup short and sweet, especially since I need you to watch that other itty, bitty video down there! But read these fantastic posts also.
Jess Buttram’s tribute to her mom.
Ironic Mom’s guest spot at ProBlogger. (Readers are raving. So proud of my blogging friend and search bomb queen.)
The always brilliant Jon Acuff on The Wrong Way to do Twitter. Look for his new book Quitter about closing the gap between your day job and your dream job, between what you have to do and what you’d love to do.
Don’t miss Matt’s funny take on Vampire Nerds. You’ve gotta read a title like that!
Finally, I am in the fight of John Travolta’s life in Tyler Tarver’s “Worst Movie Ever” contest. I have actually fallen behind after jumping out to a massive lead. I suspect tomfoolery and Scientologists are to blame. Watch this super short video and click the link below.
Bonus video: MOBILIZE YOUR PEOPLE. I NEED YOU!
Just hop over to the voting page and cast your click for Battlefield Earth. Then get all your peeps on Twitter, Facebook, the blogosphere, or wherever to vote too! Anyone who supports me will automatically become a member of my survival squad in case of any potential scientologist riots or zombie apocalypses.
Remember what a great offer that is now that you know I am a ninja who can spit fire and even cook during the down times.
You all are the best! Have a phenomenal Easter my friends.
What’s the best thing you saw on the web this week?
Let me know if you’d like to take a Down & Nerdy spot in coming weeks!
Posts That Pop (PTP) appears on weekends and features some of the best web content I’ve discovered recently.
Connect with me on Twitter @ClayMorganPA.
Voted and tweeped for you bro. Good luck and let us know the results.
Thanks Kerry! Much appreciated. I’ll update when I know.
Voted for you. Best of luck to you, you prolific bastard. Are you just not sleeping these days – or are you like Benjamin Franklin? Making do on 4 hours a night? Whatever you have going, it is working. Can you slip me a little?
Ha, I love that you call me prolific. I’m no Benji Franklin but I’d be doing pretty well these days if I was getting paid by the word. But that day will come. Thanks, and I’ll see if I can slip you something.
My favourite part of the video is when WD gives you cooking advice. And you listened to him. Good man.
Thanks for the shout out. You da best, eh?
Okay, let’s put you over the edge on this bad movie thing. Off to do my part.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Signed,
Your Bardy Blogging Buddy
You’ll have to debrief me (a phrase I should never utter with minds like you and Tamara around) on the impact of having that guest spot. Heck, you could probably write a guest post for another site about the effects of writing a guest post for a site like PB.
Briefly, then.
I meant to link to this awesome post I read. It’s a parenting post, tenderly written by a mom who puts the best words in the best order.
Here’s some linky love:

And another worthwhile read:

Just tell me to stop. I can. Maybe.
Placing into the file of check out later for sure. Thanks!
Yeah! Ideas are great. Thanks for that.
My mom is a superstar.
Also, you should have referred to IM as a professional blogger. Dream boat, times two.
Thanks for including me and my moms in your mash-up. Wax on, karate kid.
Oh you were gettin’ mashed all the way JB. To be referenced in a PTP is 12 years of good luck in the old world superstitions of the East.
You breathed fire! I have an awesome pic of a friend doing that. My little brother thought it was so cool that he tried to do it…his face caught on fire. Luckily, just his facial hair burned off.
You referenced Quantum Leap…hehe.
Fortunately my face did not catch on fire although I can see how that could happen. You have to know what you’re doing. And be a little stupid.
Voting and tweeting, done and done (even though I’ve still only got a meager following at this point!)
Here’s something bizarre that I saw just today:

Alright! Thanks for that. I’ll check out your link now.
Voted twice. Is that cheating?
If I’m ever running for my life from a bunch of preppy punks or if I need tips on cooking shrimp, I now know who to call. Such a relief.
Vote away! I think it’s limited somehow, but I really appreciate that you super sweet-o! You are officially a member of the Clay Morgan Survival Squad. In case of apocalyptic devastation be sure to pack a hoodie and toothbrush. And a baseball bat.
I did my civic duty and voted–hope you win. And thanks for the shout out–much appreciated.
By the way, you asked what we read that was fabulous? I just read an article about a middle-aged mom becoming an empty-nester. It might not have anything to do with education or zombies (or shrimp), but it was really good. And it made me teary eyed.

Hi Clay. I voted twice, too. I always enjoy your videos, and that shrimp looked great. You’re welcome to visit my kitchen any time.
Thanks for the vote me lady. If I’m ever out west we are totally having a warrior writer’s fiesta!
I voted twice too, Clay…once from home and once from the bookstore…
Happy belated Easter! That shrimp looked awesome!
Wendy
It was delicious Wendy. Thanks for the votes.
Ha! Funnies.
You breath fire. AND cook. AND have something that resembles karate skills. How cool is that?!
The answer: very.
I like your question. And the answer is better. Thanks Mrs. Awesomepants.
