ReplyDeleteFunny stuff.
"Bloggers Gone Wild"?! Scary thought.
ReplyDeletePonzi blog--- I think that's already gone down somewhere... otherwise what else would those seemingly legit charges on my credit card be from? Surely not for my bowflex! I don't LOOK like I own a bowflex... ;)
ReplyDeleteD'oh. You totally should've done the last one. Oh well. Just erase all the links to this post ever made. THen do it.
ReplyDeletePonzi Blog!!!....love it! I needed a good laugh this morning :)
ReplyDeleteIs 6 an acceptable PowerBall number?
ReplyDeleteAha! Brilliant. I'm making bloggers gone wild videos at fitbloggin. Hee.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you're not making millions off your blog? I made a whole $5 once.
