OLDER POSTS
"Bad lazy blogger! Go to the corner!" (Schrödinger's cat can act, eh?) ;-)
Oh, relax PETA boy... No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of This Entry. Feline antics, fiction. Fat kitty and stubby disfigured finger, real. Sooo, the last time I blogged... 13 days ago. Bad, bad me. (I checked my pulse. I am neither dead nor am I seeing dead people.) Two entries in June. Yep, only 9 days left to meet a reader's request for minimum 6 entries. Four more to go. You know, since quality wasn't mentioned in that request... technically, this entry counts towards the quantity criteria! Should I feel bad about that?
Only just a wee bit, but I do feel guilty about seeing familiar faces poppin' on "MyBlogLog" and not giving 'em an update. (Four words: fruity full RSS feed?) Yes, I will blog hop and return your comments from previous entries. Eventually... Well, a Blue Moon is coming to our skies on June 30th. Wanna sing a Frank Sinatra tune? (Come on Paulie, you big Drag Queen.) :-D
"Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own"
I finally saw the movie Ocean's Thirteen. Coincidentally, after the flick, my sister and I went to Ocean's (the name of that Asian supermarket) to buy shrimp for my Father's Day lunch... Faddah Paddah Pad Thai. And the film? Once again, Brad Pitt eats a lot and licks his gold fingers. George Clooney. Buttered popcorn. Really, what's not to like? As they say in the film, if you shook Frank Sinatra's hand, then your word must be good as bond. Well, I never shook his dead hands... but believe me when I say I will return those comments. One day. Once in a Blue Moon. (Sinatra... get outta my head.)
Ladies and gentlemen, in the grand tradition of fruity oaty link plugging, I present to y'all my last 70 MyBlogLog visitors (up to June 19 1:15 PM) + 10 of my favourite bloggers (5 of whom do not actually have a MyBlogLog account, as far as I know) for a total of 80 spanking hot link love kisses.
[UPDATE: Sorry guys, I had to temporarily remove the table of 80 linked images. My theme's CSS broke the alignment. Oops... I'll fix it some day.]
Click on the blogger's mug shot / avatar. A new browser window will open. Yeah, there's a noticeable Filipino Asian supermarket pattern in there... huh.
BUT FRUITY, WHY ARE 11 OF THEM MARKED WITH SPECIAL ICONS?
Answer: They're... awards. I want you to visit those bloggers. Meet 'em:
A. STAR FRUIT (CARAMBOLA) - fruit that looks like a star when cut up
First up, meet crazy Jigs, a new visitor to fruityoaty island who apparently had A LOT of time on his hands. He read many of my old posts and left a boatload of nice comments. Twelve spams within a time span of 2 hours and 13 minutes! His name is the inspiration for the Will Smith song reference in the post title. The Cocky Bastard :-D in me can't help but notice crack words:
"You write with the creativity of a comedian and the brilliance of a novelist! You can add that to your ego boosting moment! I AM NOW HOOKED... I wonder if there's still room in the fruity fan bandwagon!"
More love: "After reading quite a few of your posts (God help me, I can't stop!), I have several reasons why we should exchange links." Yep, seven really good reasons! For the record, I do NOT hate Jessica Alba. I hate her movies. :-D (Hi Jude!) GO VISIT Jigs and maybe he'll stalk your blog, too! >:)
B. YELLOW BANANAS - for my pal Evilgenius, the Top Commenter!
C. FRESH RED TOMATO - for my vegetarian pal Valerie. ;-) Oh my gawwd, update your site once in a blue moon, OK? A tomato IS technically a fruit.
D. 6 JUICY PINEAPPLES
For noticing my new pineapple browser favicon :-D - { K }, Kaitlin, Jaypee
For giving me blog traffic - Janette Toral @ Influential Blogger
For voting me for The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2007 - Kubi
For also putting me in her Top 10 list - Tina
E. WHERE'S WALDO? goes to _______ (well, the game is to find Waldo). Hi, you e-mailed me a series of eye-opening photos of a large snake caught in the act of swallowing a kangaroo. I can relate to the kangaroo: life is swallowing me whole. [If you can't find the Waldo-adorned winner's avatar but you want to know who the winner is, click on the where's waldo button at the bottom left corner. Tell Waldo I said hello, twice.]
Jude, my friend (blogless by design)... >:) your Jessica Alba avatar is down at the bottom. 7 pineapples + 4 other icons = 11... 7:11 conspiracy. ;-)
Whew! That was long... again. Alrighty, I'll be back... with FOOD PORN.
Au revoir,
Massa P aka "fruity"
P.S. Answers to questions:
- I did NOT use a PLUGIN to create the table. I set MyBlogLog widget to display a table of 80 avatars (max. 127). I took a screen capture of the widget display. Next, I spliced the table in Adobe ImageReady and assigned URLs to each avatar. I used Adobe ImageReady to save the images and HTML file. I FTP'd the image files and edited links in the HTML to point to the image folder. I copied the HTML table code portion into this post. Easy, breezy beautiful Cover Girl.
- I haven't been blogging because: illness in family, death of parents' friend (mortality, depressing), work issues, life sucks, 'nuff said.
[...] Marie learned this link-love-spreading technique from Fruity. God, that sounded bad...XDDDDD But, next up in Marie's link-love-spreading [...]
Waw! Great work with the Adobe stuff. Really enjoy your posts!
GM Tristan :-P
What the heck? Is that your cat? HE'S SOOOOO... FAAAAAT!!
I really love cats and I have 2 with me in my room and around 7 outside.
Oh-oh, seems very difficult for me to follow... I want to be apart of it, too. :-D
You have a very beautiful cat. In my case, I have a dog. Now she is not living with us because I took her for three weeks of training. Professional dog trainers will teach her how to be more obedient. I say that she is at the university. Uff, I miss her.
That cat looks like a real life Garfield! Lasagna!
Hmmm... when you told me it'd take 2 days to go through this post, did you mean 2 x 24 hrs. (total of 48 hrs.)? Hehehe... I'm still going through this post...
Hahaha! That's a fat cat. If Schrödinger's cat were that fat, no amount of radioactive material would be able to kill it. :-P
What the?! Did you collect that one after another? You've got so much time, I'm envious. XP
Hello,
After I joined the Do Follow Movement and saw that there is a D-List, I wanted to be on that list. But, from what I saw, the list hasn't been updated for a while. So, I decided to keep the list updated myself.
Also, I wanted to let you know that your site is there too.
Regards,
Nicusor
I understand why you didn't even reach your 6/mo quota but I do wish you'd write more. Though I'm continually amazed at how you keep your blog light and well, fruity (couldn't resist).
Anyway, loved this one. Very creative. :-)
Whoo hoo! Thanks for the bananas!!! ;-) So, I guess I'll be clicking on the links this long weekend.
Hmmmmm... Smiley looks scary... or very sick.
P.S. Bring Max to see Ratatouille!
That cat looks exactly like my roommate's cat. He's like a huge jar of marmalade.
:-D Weheheh! Waldo...
Nice work on your "recent fruitees", galing! :-)
Wow, thanks for sharing info on "DoFollow" plugin... I just installed it. Let's see how it works.
Oh my gosh, that cat is just so adorable! When you have a fat cat, it just means that there is more of him to love.
Wow, that's one big cat.
It is just weird coz I remember that I made a comment here. Anyway, I always like to see pictures of Max coz he is so cute, fat and cuddly. Cute smileys!!
@Jhed: "Twelve" and "Thirteen" were definitely not as good as "Eleven". Eh, it was entertaining enough, but IMO... it's not a "must-see on big screen" flick. A very good DVD rental. :-D
I wasn't paying attention to the plot. All eyes on Brad Pitt and one hand in popcorn bag. Sums up my experience, LOL.
@Jigs: Sorry to burst your bubble. There were 2 other comments before yours in my moderation queue. But by all means, GET JIGGY with your bad self. Jasmine Trias... hahaha!
I placed that yellow star fruit on your head ON PURPOSE. It's very NOTICEABLE, hmm? LOL. ;-)
@Juice: Technically, you're NOT one of the "last 70 MyBlogLog visitors"... You're ONE of the 10 FAVOURITES I added to the table. :-D RE: Blog absence. Explained in postscript.
Thank God I changed my MyBlogLog icon in time for this post. HAHA! Yeah, that's my pretty boy avatar. LOL.
I wanna see Ocean's Thirteen! But I heard it's some kind of a flop. Is it? Thanks again for the link love! Weee!
Your cat is such a cutie! Pwedeng mag artista. ;-)
Oh, wow! A pineapple for me?! Thank you! :-)
That cat sure looks crazy...
Oceans Thirteen... what's not to like? Sure, it wasnt Schindler's List or anything, but you have some of the prettiest boys in the world, you get to have popcorn and gaze adoringly at them... Really, whats not to like?!!
Whoa! That's one ginormous kitty! :-)
That is one seriously large cat, but he's still adorable. Even if he looks somewhat cross-eyed.
The blue moon was actually somewhat bluish. Very pretty. It was in May for those on the opposite side of the world. The next one won't be 'til 2009, so make a point to look at this one.
Do my eyes deceive me? Do I see an update from fruity? :-D Seriously, I've been wondering what was up and I'm glad to see you're back!
Ah, I have the nofollow installed on my blogs as well. There are two of them out there, one that will strip the nofollow from all comments and one that lets you go back and be selective on certain comments. Which one are you using?
Max looks so cute and funny in that picture. You're probably gonna get PETA freaks bugging you though. They overreact to everything nowadays.
"Sooo, the last time I blogged... 13 days ago. Bad, bad me."
Sometimes good ideas are just so hard to find. Good for you, you blog worthy entries. My posts are all nonsense.
Marie noticed the pineapple but didn't want to go "OMG HOW COOL A PINEAPPLE FAVICON!" like she would have. (Marie is a pretty obnoxious person...)
Star fruit. Marie had no idea they were real fruit. Heh... Marie has to go to the grocery store to find, purchase, and eat one now.
Marie's been thinking about getting a MyBlogLog account... but too lazy/busy to actually do it. XD
Kitty is just so... hooge. Marie's cats are all skinny. Where can one find these jolly fat cats?
Dofollow is awesome. Marie thinks she still has it enabled. Thinks... Marie's going to go check now.
The star in Jigs' picture looks like a flower from Jasmine's hehe. I had to do a double take to check if it's really part of his picture.
Thanks... for the link love, hehe. Very innovative, what you did with it and all... and how you did it. :-P Thanks for the pinyaaa!! Hehe.
Waaa I wanna see Ocean's 13 ever since it went out, but too busy... oh well... :-P
I've been bad, not visiting, for a variety of reasons. But I'll be back now. :-)
Ooh, thanks for the links. I'll have to try those out.
What else? People see how good and creative you are in your entries. :-)
But I still don't understand that YOU FOLLOW COMMENT...
Kiss
Fendi
MAX!!!!!! :-P
I love the pineapple icon too! Why not put up the VIRAL ICONS? The pineapple will surely stand out!
"I haven't been blogging because: illness in family, death of parents' friend (mortality, depressing), work issues, life sucks, 'nuff said."
Hang on there, 'k? *Ross whispers: courage!*
I am fruity but why I am not on the fruities? Huhuhuhu. :-(
So, I'm one of those last 70. Saw your post via Technorati and it's linked to my blog, too. So, I got to drop a comment. LOL.
Anyway. I have yet to see Ocean's Thirteen. I love the previous "Ocean's" flicks, that's why. Teehee. About the kitty... Uh, I'm more of a dog lover, but I can say that it's so adorable! Haha.
Jigs. He's a demi-god. Love the 7 reasons! Haha.
He he... I work / blog (during render time), that's why I don't subscribe. ;-) It also explains why I don't write much. I just like to drop by once in a while and find a surprise, always a treat. :-)
Good luck on your 4 posts! Food porn? Ha ha. :-D
That fat cat pic is cute... Reminds me of Garfield.
I need to get that plugin for the "nofollow" for my site. I think I need it for one of my sponsored posting things I do...
You'll just never forgive me for that movie, eh? :-D It was GOOD!
As your friend, I've gotta say... this is the LONGEST and LAMEST entry ever known to mankind (haha). Still good - dripping with oodles of Massa P self-love and "links whoring" pizazz. >:) HAHA!
P, I hope you feel better soon, but life sucking shouldn't get in the way of you writing my "300 Movie" updates! Just kidding. :-D
Oh, :-D how deliciously wicked of you: "Brad Pitt eats a lot and licks his gold fingers."
Oooh, karaoke! I'll sing along, me, me, me!
... Brad Pitt's GOLD FINGERS! >:)
I love the cat! >:)
Hi, I just read your comments on my former blog, I didn't realise you'd leave a message there. Thanks for your concern. :-P Ang tagal na nun. Haha bat Thanks Really!
Wait, I could see Waldo from here... hmp... I miss him, haha!!!
Woohoo! First to comment! It was meant to be! Ahahaha!
I got JIGGY with it!
Wahahahaha! I can't stop laughing about this post! Plus, that comical chubby cat is abundantly funny! I love overweight kitties!
Check out my avatar! I look like I have a freaking flower on my head! Ahahahaha! Why oh why did you have to put it there!? Jasmine Trias, anyone?! :-P
I've seen Ocean's Thirteen too. It's good, but not as good as the previous ones.
Good luck with your remaining 4 posts! I hope you make it! Wow, that would almost be one post a day.
Can't wait for that FOOD PORN!
*sniff* I have no special icon. Hehe just kidding. Thank you again for the link lalalove!
I do not get the U COMMENT I FOLLOW thingie. I'm so stupid.
... can't wait for food porn. LOL.
Is that plugin the same as comment link love? I still have no idea what that means. Haha.
Wow, I'm actually one of your top 70 visitors? I was kind of wondering why I never saw your name pop up in my Google Reader anymore. Why haven't you been really posting? Busy? I haven't signed in to MyBlogLog in almost a month (or more) because I'm afraid I might get stalkerish. Hahaha.
Jigs! He's great. I read the seven reasons. Hilarious!
