Do you have a humor blog?? What is your definition of a humor blog?
The reason I ask is that over at humorbloggers.com we are gathering an army of humor bloggers for next month's HUGE campaign against our foe, Injustice.
Several members of BC are also members of HBDC so this is also an open invitation for those of you with humor blogs to join us and become members.
(MY definition of Humor Blog - A blog which is written with the sole purpose of making the reader lol.)
We are an inclusive directory for quality control, however, so not everyone can join. It is nothing personal, unless you are not funny and easily offended by us saying as much.
If you've applied to HBDC before and been turned down, don't worry, just reapply. Up until recently I was completely removed from voting new members in, but those days are over.
If you have a consistently funny blog that isn't full of ads and can make ME lol you're in.
That is all.
PS. I am easily amused.

I consider myself a humor blogger (perhaps a mean one, but one nonetheless) and I agree with your definition.

F HBDC. They said I wasn't good enough.
I am going to aid in the side of Injustice!
ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! -

Even though my blog is not a humor blog (though highly whimsical) I want to apply because my creativity feeds on rejection.

I have two humor blogs... My Brown Bag blog does have ads because my evil sponsor makes me, but my sole purpose is to educate using facts AND humor.

Blog's sole purpose to make you LOL?
My sole purpose is to entertain myself... Ordinarily, on a one on one type of thing, if someone doesn't laugh at what I say I usually repeat it until they do. But that doesn't work as well with the written word. That doesn't work as well with the written word. See?
Still, I hope that some will find amusement in something that I have written.
I'll check it out - sounds like fun!

Debbie Downer: Hey, does anyone have a banana?
Friend #1: What?
Debbie Downer: Well, if I don't get enough potassium every day, I awaken in the middle of the night by crippling leg cramps.
(higher-pitched wah wahhhhhhh; zoom in)
(everyone looks pissed off)
Debbie Downer: By the way, it's official -- they've located my birth mother. Deceased.
(deeper wah wahhhhhhhh; zoom in on a particularly painful facial expression)

Don't feel bad CA I was rejected too but for not updating enough, damn that chell has some high standards!
-
come on CA Offended is great, I am glad to have her back even if my awesome blog is a Humor Blogger reject!

I was misled. I thought here is where they were handing the free packs of good-for-nothings. In a moment of weakness I wandered over, because I think it is about time I got something for free. After reading a few posts, I think this might be a secret organization plotting to crack a good man's funny bone, and I want no part of it.
But before I turn you down, I am going to give you a chance to turn me down, so I can write about it. My blog site is Looking For Laughs at www.lookingforlaughs.org
I'm going to tell you out front, if you have dues. I won't pay them. If there is a funny uniform we must buy, I'm not buying one.
If there is a funny song we must learn, I don't sing. I can't carry a tune. But wait. I really am getting ahead of myself. I could be turned down, rejected, told that my blog doesn't measure up. Well, that will give me enough material for two blog posts. -
I applied. Well, as I had expected, though a new link may have helped with traffic, I wasn't disappointed, when I received a message at 8:31 PM, this evening, informing me that my blog had been rejected by the pharasies. Well, they don't call themselves pharasies, but that is what they are.
"Young man," these high lords and ladies wrote, "We are looking "for established blogs..." Your started, when boy? Aug 30th of this years? Do you expect us to consider such a green whippersnapper like you? We check the "number of comments per post." Boy, you have your comment thingamig turned off, why? We look "for consistent humor with the sole intent to be humorous," boy. You have too much politics, philosophy. Is that funny, boy? We look for, "consistency."
"Consistency in posting is important-not the number of post per week."
That means don't think too much, stay on the subject of humor, boy. HAHHA.
And the secret panel of shadow people wrote, "Other factors also are looked at in determining whether the panel thinks the blog falls within guidelines of HBDC." What those factors are is our business. Goodbye. Improve yourself and we will look at you again.
Well, no thanks. My blog is what it is. It is me saying what I want to say, the way I want to say it. I just don't conform. Never have, never will.
Getting serious, the HBDC has a good idea, a link up of comedy blogs. Maybe us HBDC rejects can exchange links and have our own link up. Those interested in exchanges links send a message to my in box. -

To all of those complaining that HBDC's standards are too high, consider this: I've been a member for quite some time. How high can its standards be?
Here are a couple of hints for getting accepted:
1) If you're a guy, promise to wear a kilt. Don't worry, nobody checks. At least, they haven't so far.
2) If you're a guy, promise to be Chelle's sex slave. Unfortunately, she hasn't taken me up on that yet. But I live in hope. -
Okay, I'll admit it. I was rejected by HBDC, but I still love the bloggers there and read a whole mess of them on a regular basis. I figured they just didn't want any more vague, scatter-brained bloggers. Or maybe the Quirkster was worried I'd try to steal her Dr. Pepper. I felt bad for awhile, but got over it. Tried to apply again, but it just said they already had my application... which had been rejected. *sound of sobs and wailing* Next time I'll have to take Joel's advice and offer to be Chelle's sex slave, although since I'm a female it might not be as enticing as if it were Joel or Moog offering.

I maintain a humor blog, because if I didn't write about what I thought was totally bizarre in this world I'd be a total crabass all the time, my wife and kids would leave me and I'd run out of booze before realizing I wouldn't have a car. Oh, I also do it because I have a book coming out and it would suck if nobody read it.
