Scholar and Gentleman and leader of the Scissorheads, Tengrain, did a zombie a solid and put me up on his post for Blogroll Amnesty Day. regular readers will know, of course that guilting a zombie is pretty dam easy, so I am going to turn around and do it myself.
Apparently the tradition is to link to 5 blogs that are lesser-known than yours. And no joking about your own blog being more unknown than anybody’s so there goes all my content.
So, feel free to visit the following, all Friends of the Empire:
- Paleotectonics, fellow Cheesehead (if in exile) and Checking Out Your Shorts
- Landru, curmudgeon extraordinaire and We Are His Minions. He’s got pretty good taste in music, so there’s that.
- blackdogred, at BLCKDGRD, with similar great taste in music. He’s posted Mekons!
- Scott and DT do some great music analysis and posting at Reason To Believe.
- good friend mikey who has been floating around the internoodzles for quite some time, impressing people at Sadly, No! and firedoglake, but he needs more people to read and comment on his long-form world affairs posts, other than me and thndr just effing at each other in the comments. Consider The Source.
I was going to link to a brand newbie, This Day In Science Fiction, but Tengrain beat me to it. The Prof notes Science Fiction birthdays, and highlights predictions of our present-time future from last century. It’s much fun, so Imma linkin it again, because I am a rebel, Dottie.
Oh, and also local Wisconsin blogger and journalist James Rowen has a great place called the Political Environment, he’s been leading the charge against the proposed open-pit mine in northern Wisconsin, as well as trying to talk sense to some gun fetishist trolls.
I suppose now I will have to try and post more often, to meet the ‘daily posting’ threshold. Or so. Remember, at the Empire, we specialize in disappointment!
Thanks for the props, TG.
Empire Of The Senseless 
We come here for the disappointment. But we stay for the linkage.
Thanks!
well, we’ll see if it results in any actual comments. Speak up, visitors!
Make up yer mind, do you want comments or not?
Why, are you going to make a comment?
but Tenrain beat me to it.
Speeling meestake!

no idea what you’re talking about, thndr.
“Tenbrain”, he explained.

Also, kitler.

There are better looking Hitler-cats.
It almost makes you think they might be artificially enhanced.
Dammit.
I’d REALLY like to pet those kittens…
I should label that picture as ‘aggravating mikey’
I’ve got this cool idea for a movie. A guy goes into a room and IT’S FULL OF HITLER CATS!!! Didn’t see that coming did ya?
Of course liberal Hollywood run by Homosexual Nazis will never make that!
Tengrain is one of the good guys of the blogosphere- he linked to me at Crooks and Liars for a second time this week. I checked out my stats, saw over 500 hits and immediately thought, “Tengrain was here”.
Have you ever checked out Willfully Obscure? I think you of all people would get a kick out of it.
hello bald ( hello because we’ve never talked in and on ..of these chainsL , but i’ve noted you over at penjacks ..in the past , ) ,here ..where the wander is ..the flod flooded streets( with the grey of the barn house that i grew up in, and that my father ,that i was just out with on fri., also painted his place in algonqui.. as well , and was on the high panel behind his head in the restaur ..where we met up on fri. ..and i commented on to him with a quiet smile ,said daughter of .. ) , back to bald, you look like the ..put out dec tree .. has finally had enough ..of being put out ..of this image on m’c to the left that your name must now stand/saddl’ with here ..
lol @ Mein Furrer
Thanks! I’ll send you some thumbs to put up.
@BBBB – Willfully Obscure may be a brand new rabbit-hole.
skippy the kangaroo sent me. is this where I get my free Obama cell phone, my 40 acres (and don’t go calling it reparations, goddamnit), and mule?
Nah. This is free-floating angst, foul mouthed political commentary, and Mekons.
Sometimes arguments. And disappointment, of course. Welcome!
Sometimes arguments.
But I came here for abuse!
This is ‘Getting Hit On The Head Lessons’. Abuse is down the hall!
Also, OBS is a sub. People should make a note.
Oh yeah, snark me harder baby! Thats it!
And Zombie Tactical Doctrine.
But we’re just gonna pretend “Warm Bodies” is about vampires…
.. anthony perkins has a son, elvis , that has a band that does a song , a guys toe tapping kind of song , called chains ..i think, ..but i can’t look to see , no moving visuals on this lap top ,

I am almost certain “Doe, an deer” is incorrect.

Really? That’s Tony Perkins’s kid?
Because I do have some songs from him…Elvis Perkins in Dearland. I figured it was a made-up name, like Elvis Costello or herr doktor bimler.
SHHHH.
You’re quite right on all counts, anne. Elvis, son of Tony. The disc I have, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, which I obtained because I love the song “Doomsday” (a zombie who loves apocalypse songs! What a shock, right?) and has a another song, “Chains,Chains, Chains”.
cripes, I just got a phone message on my office line, an email, and on my cell from a guy who wants to pick up some drawings today. Not only on Sunday, but on Stupor Sunday.
Haven’t decided how to answer him yet.
He also left me a message yesterday while I was all robotic.
The Zombalaya is well under way – and why did it take this long to figure out the name?- and this is how I answered Phone Dood:
Sorry, Steve. I was doing my FIRST Robotics volunteer gig yesterday, and will not be in my office today.
I will be in and out tomorrow. I can answer your questions then.
I can only make a pretense of keeping up with what’s on my blogroll and I’m getting worse at that despite the fact that people I follow seem to bail out a lot.
Mind you the RSS file is constantly evolving.
I AM STILL HERE.
I’m here, but I’m leaving.
My brother in law has tequila, home made wings and a sixty inch teevee set powered by the family atomics. So I’m going up there…
The lure of tequila is hard to resist. The Zombalaya is percolating, I am lunching and mocking the dog, and our friend has promised Hurricanes at the party. We’ll be going over there presently….

Doe-ann; I recognized the comment style from over at BBBB’s joint. Although it may be some time before I can parse it, don’t let that stop you!
Most of the same people over there come around here, but I am usually more foul mouthed than he is. He’s quite the gentleman, right? Imma simple zombie. Also, my Governor is Scott Walker, so it makes one want to curse quite a lot.
not sure on how you are teasing with “I am almost certain “Doe, an deer” is incorrect. ”
ummm….It has been said that I am annoyingly grammar and spelling pedantic. And I saw an opportunity to make a joke using the structure of that old R&H song. I am not good at jokes. But I WAS just teasing.
i’ve never left a comment at bb….. ‘s .. ,anne with an ‘e
Wait. Did I say Bastard’s? I meant the House of Substance. Wasn’t that where I saw your comments? Substance’s?
Riddled! It had to be Riddled!
No…it was thndr’s, wasn’t it? That was it, wasn’t it?
DAMN this incestuous blogging community!
You are, without question, the sweetest animated corpse I know.
You bet I am! The other day, when you had that rousing post about “Sick Of Myself”, I TOTALLY resisted making you jealous by commenting about seeing Matthew Sweet just a couple of months ago from the front row at a 300 person club, playing “Girlfriend” in its entirety, along with that song as one of the extras.
now this would truly be incestuous if this was the same scott that defended me over on io z/now jacob b, in early spring 2011 ,on my landing there .. .
blackdogred!! I saw you at BDR’s place!
Out of the strong comes forth sweetness.
