This was a monumental week for the Scholar. Apparently I got to brag about my junk food post where I received 72,000 hits. If I could I would trade all those smacks up side the head hits for ONE THING.
What is my one thing? Google Site Links! It took me 2 1/2 years to get these. I only have 3 links but it’s a start. How did I do it? I have no clue. Experts say that Google rewards those who are an authority. What am I an authority of? I guess Dummy IQ.
Lastly I would like to thank John Erickson for his participation in the posts this week. He was the top commenter but since he doesn’t blog (why, I’m not sure) I want to thank him here. Thanks John!
Make sure to check out the Dummy IQ links below!

My Top 10 Most Fascinating and Brainless Ideas
Here are my Top 10 Most Fascinating and Brainless Blog Ideas for Dummies of the Year! Share your most brainless post, that is if you have the brains for it!
This Week’s Boost Your Dummy IQ Links:
- An Interview With the Goat Whisperer: This is an interview with John Erickson. Since he doesn’t currently have his own blog this would be the best place to go to learn more about him.
- I Heard it on the Bus: There is a ton of wisdom to be had the local school bus. I should know because I rode the thing until I was 18! I was the old wise man who the first graders came to for advise. Go check out this post unless of course you want to halt your brain cells from learning anything new.
- Why Bloggers Should Consider Engaging on Google+: I touched on Facebook and Google+ this week. If you want a really thorough blog post about Google+ then I recommend this one by Darren Rowse from Problogger.
Thanks for the plug, Scholar Mel! Sadly, the school bus has not received the credit it deserves for it’s contribution in educating our youth.
I agree, John Erickson should have a blog. Aptly named, “The Choir Of Voices In My Head.” He once commented about this on my blog and I thought it suited him perfectly.
You’re welcome
If john wants to start a blog he could do so at wordpress.com. I just discovered that http://choirofvoicesinmyhead.wordpress.com is still available
I am waiting to get off the 10000th page of google for “editorial cartoons”
Honestly I have no clue why they have you there. You’re my favorite green haired cartoonist.
Oh, I get it. Putting your food in tissue paper!
What? Isn’t that how you weakly wrap?
I’ve never blogged because I’m more of a reactor. I’m not good at coming up with stuff out of the blue, but I feed voraciously (and insanely) off the works of others.
And though I’m not Japanese, I am definitely dangerous to public health! (Get it? Reactor? Japanese? Aw, Fukishima! I knew I shouldn’t have Sendai that joke in.)
Thank you, ladies and germs!
What about a blog about blogs? Like an ongoing commentary on various posts? A Who’s Who of blogging.
Here’s one worthy of Jay.
Can a person write a who’s who of blogging when others look at him and say “Who?”
I’ll have to think about that. Hm – a wrap-up of all my favourite sites? Might be a possibility….
How many blogs do you leave comments on? More than 10 and you would already start with a nice size audience and fairly big comments section. You could be king of the world (or blog land also known as geek land).
Hmm. I think (if I’m reading WordPress correctly – always a challenge) I’m on about 12-14 blogs, though some are very infrequent posters. I’m just not sure how…. family friendly … some of them are, or how interested my heavy metal buddy Keith would be in my chum writing about soldiers from Portsmouth (England) in WW2.
)
Besides, it’s far easier being a smart-aleck sniper on the side than a general in plain view. I always preferred NOT being the target! (Mind you, that’s because I played a WW2 German for so many years. You tend to get shot so often, you develop an aversion to not being under cover all the time!
I don’t come up with these blog posts out of the blue. I usually pull them out of my keester.
I do get your reactor joke. I get about 73.049% of your jokes.:-)
The tower climb was the post that got me. That awas just incredible U totally fear inspiring.
Typing correction: awas was supposed to be just “was”. I should be “incredible & totally” not U instead of &. Does that make me a Dummy???
Dummy? Na. I’ll just assume that U stood for und (and in German) and I didn’t even notice awas, my eyes only saw was.
You’ll have to try harder at being a dummy before you win any prizes here.
