The twO-in-One tag

// March 31st, 2006 // Blog, Funny, Tag

I looked around and didn’t see too much activity on any of the blogs I usually visit so I decided to take matters into my hands and I came up with a small two-in-one tag to get things going.

The first step in this two-step meme is to find your Japanese name using the Japanese Name Generator (via Blog Reader and his Blog). It’s completely random and doesn’t take too much time which is why its fun. Also, my name turned out to be Shou Ito, which is really small compared to other Japanese names and I really like it. I won’t mind it if you call me by that name at all.

The second and a little longer step is to dig into your blog’s archives and find the one post, which you think (remember this. its important!), is the worst post you’ve ever written. It could be a post you wanted to delete before anybody could read it – maybe you even did that. Or a post you wished nobody would read, or maybe it was so bad that you wrote another post soon to ensure it wasn’t at the top of your blog.

Here on Thoughts on a lonely afternoon, my worst post has to be “Why Do It Yourself?”. It’s really very dumb. Almost mind numbing.

I want everyone to do this. Cos if you do this, I’ll mention your name and post your post’s permalink here. (How tempting is that?)

So start working on it. Now!

Well, here are the posts that were written in response to this tag:

Sher-e-Jalandhar – Only For Raj’s Tag
Akanksha – Untitled
Abigail did the tag in this post’s comments section.

    in that post, i said that most times she plays alone and i just sit and watch her. After that post, i noticed a drop in comments from various people. And i thought: Oh no! people think i’m a lazy bum! they hate me!
    so, i later did a follow-up post where i explained that i dont just sit on my butt all day watching TV.
    that post is: http://adventuresofmommyhood.blogspot.com/2006/01/clarification.html

    @sej: No, its meant for everyone. Its just of special help for people “deep in their slumber”.

    @greensatya:
    //you want the worst post of one’s to be known to the whole world

    Why not? Its already known to the world. Nows your chance to label it the worst so that nobody can blame you for it ;) This would be a sort of diclaimer.

    @becky: ha…ha…you think people stopped commenting bcos they thought u were lazy? I don’t think that could have been a reason. It might just have been a coincidence coupled with guilt :P

    Maeko Hojo is a cute name :D
    But there is no way I will dig up my worst post and get you to link to it… I struggled so hard to keep it under cover (but did not delete it!).. and now you want me to resurrect it and show it to the world? No way! :D
