A Perfectly Cromulent Blog will be hosting the 72nd edition of Carnival of the Vanities next week. February 4, to be exact.
What is the Carnival? Info can be found here. Consider it the natural evolution of vanity publishing, in which a different weblog hosts an assortment of "best of" entries from a wide and varied number of participants each week (the most recent version can be found at The American Mind). I joined in a few times, volunteered to host one, then promptly forgot about it until earlier this month.
Here's how it works: if you have a blog entry you'd like everyone reading the Carnival to check out, send me the permalink and, if possible, a one line description (e.g. "Pete proposes alternate targets of opportunity for the American war machine").
Simple, no? E-mail any entries to general_buck_vh@yahoo.com by, oh, let's say 11:00 PM CST, February 3. I'll post the Carnival entry the next morning.
Away we go. For those of you keeping score on Simpsons Quote Month, the Carnival entry is the one posting in February that will not have a quote for the title.
Or will it?
1. Madfish Willie will be taking your links to all the erotic tales (real or imagined), dirty jokes, risque post titles, cartoons, suggestive pics, and just generally nasty stuff in the blogosphere - All for his Tales from the Champagne...

Our little Petey's blog is all grown up now. In its short but happy existence, APCB has gone to the movies, sucked in a pointless yet annoying celebrity commenter, and now will be playing host to the Carnival of the Vanities. I always knew this blog was destined for great things! Can a guest commentator position at MSNBC be far behind?
Just don't forget all the little people, Pete -- the numerous readers and commenters who helped propel you to the top. These are the people who have supported you when you were just a monkey with a typewriter, and we'll still be supporting you when you're a monkey with a word processor.
Besides, we know all about you and the goat. Don't forget that, 'Bleat' von der Haar.
