I Play the Telephone Game
Published by January 2nd, 2008 in I Enjoy the Internets, I Blog.I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall
If you don’t answer, I’ll just ring it off the wall
I know he’s there, but I just had to call.
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone *
OK, now we’re talking. I know that I’ve said I hate hate hate talking on the phone, but this here is different.Remember the Telephone Game from when you were a mere tadpole? Here’s a version, thunk up by none other than Fracas, in which you don’t even need a telephone! Hurrah!Not only that, but this particular kind of Telephone Game promotes link love throughout the blogosphere. And that’s never a bad thing.Here are the rules, as laid out by the Fraccy one herself:
***Fracas created this game, and because only one person gets to play at a time, consider yourself a real fraccer! Here’s what you gotta do. See those 3 asterisks at the start of this paragraph? Copy from there to the three asterisks at the end of the post. Then, add your line and change one word. JUST ONE. It’s like playing the telephone game when we were little. Then tag ONE person and pass it on. If the game gets stalled at someone who doesn’t play, fracas takes it back and sends it on its way again. For playing, you get links . . . and you get to take this badge
and display it with a link back to the telephone page so your readers get to see your contribution!
If you want to be part of it, please leave a comment at the telephone page at fracas and fracas will add you the next time it comes back around to her, but please don’t just start doing it yourself as that will ruin the proper flow.

That’s all for now folks, but visit the telephone page later, and there’ll surely be a new twist! ***

JD here again. Now wasn’t that more fun than actually talking on the phone? Check out some of those cool-looking links, why don’t you, and ask Fracas nicely if you can play the Telephone Game.

Very cool post! I could never do this, as I’m no good under pressure, and especially not under the bleachers with nude and leaking people.
Kathy’s last blog post..A Year in Review, With a Twist
LOL JD.. thanks for playing. I’m getting a little queasy about what those nude people could be leaking, but oh well… I hear there are people on these internets that like all KINDS of things.
fracas’s last blog post..Toasting WordPress
JD.. I submitted your info to WordPress to get you liberated from that Askimet jail you’re always in - so you don’t have to!
I’ll let you know when I hear back from them.

Kathy: Thanks! Yeah, I’m a little leery of those nude, leaky people, which is why I suggested drying them off, at least. Yuck. People shouldn’t leak ANYwhere.
Fracas! Thank you for inviting me to play. And thanks for freeing me from Akismet jail. What exactly did you have to do (so I didn’t have to)?
JD’s last blog post..I Play the Telephone Game so you don’t have to
JD.. I emailed Mark through the help/support forum, provided him with the info that sits in the admin panel with each comment, and explained your dilemna with posting at WP blogs. I’ve already received a reply back from him saying it should be fixed now and your posts should go to the board instead of the bin (well, assuming the blog owner isn’t moderating them). He said if not, that I should mail him again to make sure we get you happy.
So.. go to fracas and post a comment to see if it goes up or if askimet still owns your soul.
I’m going to go empty the askimet bin so that I can find you easier just in case.

Fracas! Thank you so much. It never occurred to me that I should do that myself.
I’ll test it out…
You are awesome!

Funny - from the phone to under the bleachers.
I’m visiting all those who have posted before and I’m inviting them over to my blog for a little giveaway that I am having. No gimicks, just a way to celebrate one year of blogging.
