Bridesmaid Becomes A Bride: “Food” Is The Topic For The Eighth Virtual Symposium
|
Bridesmaid Becomes A Bride: “Food” Is The Topic For The Eighth Virtual Symposium The third time proved the charm, and “Food” is the topic of choice for the next virtual symposium. We had some strong contenders for this month’s symposium, and voters will see some of them again, but the choice of the twice-runner-up topic was a foregone conclusion once last month’s symposium ended. Still, great get-out-the-vote pimping by many symposium supporters… thank you, one and all! For those new to the virtual symposium: In short, it’s a simultaneous act of blogging. Here’s how it works: Anybody with a blog on this site is welcome to join in. All choosing to participate will create something – an essay, a cartoon, an erotic story, a memoir, a series of one-line aphorisms, an image collage, a photo montage, a poem, or anything else – relating to “Food.” At a pre-arranged time and date (see below) all participants post their contributions. Want a better sense of how it works – or just some good reads? Here’s a link to the participants’ list from the seventh symposium: Participants List for The Seventh Virtual Symposium Inspiration What Inspires Us To Feel free to take the basic idea of “Inspiration (What Inspires Us To…)” and stretch it to as wild an interpretation as you like -- the post should reflect you! The last thing we need is a dozen monotonous texts on the same topic. Anything goes, as long as there is a trace of the original idea in the post. On the morning of May 24 (a Sunday, for those keeping score), all participants will post their creations. Please, please, post ‘em to your own blogs early: I do want to link to them in a central post here, but I don’t want to be stapled to my desk all day. I'll be responsible for posting links to your blogs here – I want to make this as effortless for participants as possible! Once you’ve posted, leave a note in the comments section here so I know to link to your submission. I will, of course, post latecomers… people do check back to see whether new participants have joined the symposium. But after the morning of May 24, I may not be updating the list as obsessively. As for contributions themselves: The idea is to create something new, as opposed to using posts to respond to other posts (although the comments section will, of course, remain fair game). Leave a note in the blog comments, and I’ll use a post on this blog that day to link to all contributions. A suggestion: Participants may want to refer to either the virtual symposium or the topic itself in their headline. Not a requirement – there are no requirements, save for originality and participation – but a suggestion which will let the wide blog community know what we’re doing. This is not a contest. No souvenir mugs will be sent, nor ribbons awarded. The idea here is for those interested to, on a single day, offer an interpretation of a single topic for the sheer fun of it. By all means, encourage other bloggers to participate – and to let me know they’re doing so through this post, so on the morning of May 24 I can link to their posts. Oh, and please consider this an invitation – if not a request – to the symposium both on your own blogs, and in individual requests to bloggers whom you’d like to see represented. The more the merrier, right? There are some folks with very distinct voices on this site who aren’t yet participating – let’s bring ‘em in and make ‘em one of us, one of us, one of us! Remember, of course, to keep things in your voice! Final note: Every symposium, there are a few newbies who contribute posts, and don’t let me know about their contributions (I catch some by watching the “recent posts” feed, but that’s hit or miss). So… once you post, please leave me a note here! (I get messages about the symposium which are attached to the blog a little faster than the ones which are emailed to me.) Can’t wait to see the results! the symposium, the symposium, the symposium... the viewers you bring in may be your own. Can't get more (verbally) naked than that...

I think it is entirely appropriate that this posted three times. The foodies have been a partisan lot in the past Symposia, and this may serve to cool their ardor for the topic and their sense of persecution about having lost past fair and balanced elections. If it will silence their whining, I'm all for it. In fact, just to be on he safe side, I'd post it a couple of more times. The wonderful thing about democratic elections is that no one is ever happy except the bankers and Fox News. Fox loves gloating nearly as much as it loves bitching, just like its viewers. I'm headed off now to contemplate just what costume my pimp will wear, and whether it will drive a Lincoln, Cadillac or Prius. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I'm game because my body image thingy will so relate to food with what I am going to write. I look forward to it so I need to get my thoughts all together so they're cohesive. I enjoy this Humor, thanks for coming up with it. Please, just call me diggy.

I'm headed off now to contemplate just what costume my pimp will wear, and whether it will drive a Lincoln, Cadillac or Prius. Food was going to be the topic of this symposium whether we like it or not (and I do -- I think it's a rich topic which is going to generate some very diverse posts). That said, I was amused at the idea of it being the Susan Lucci of topics -- always stimulated, never consummated. As for your pimping...it's really all about the hat. Widen the brim of yours by about eight inches in radius and you'll be well on your way. Never saw the pimping community as driving a Leaf, but we've all seen that you do march to your own drummer, so go for it!

Three times? As happy as I am that my pimping bore fruit, I didn't expect such exuberance in the end. But, thank you. YAY!!!! The Food!!! So... do we ask people to append a recipe to each post? Nah, I think the fewer rules the better. And, quite frankly, I'd love to see some visually oriented posts in this edition. Fifty posts concerning food on a sex site? I'd never need to buy stroke books again!

Hi there, HG. Well, I considered this, and told a few Lovely Ladies that I might participate. Cooking and writing are two of the things I do well, so I'll just have to whip something up between now and Sunday morning.  I have another post that I'm trying to get focused on, but it's still an amorphous mess. This'll be simple and maybe light a spark under my ass. Seeya, man. Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum Audentes Fortuna Iuvat Politicians. Lampposts. Assembly Required.
