30 in 30 III - 3 - Dress Your Best, or Not
Jun. 3rd, 2006 11:57 pm Now, though earlier today I issued an encyclical urging you all not to post about your daily lives, I'm going to go ahead and do just that. But wait, before you declare me the antichrist, let me note that I bring you a photo essay -- a photo essay with drunken debauchery, people dressed up, and people practically naked! This, my friends, is almost always a recipe for an acceptable blogging. Also I already posted a less underbloggist entry today, and though I recused that one as being too recursive (being about 30 in 30 itself), I think together these two entries should meet blogthodox requirements.
Last night Kristy & I attended both my Φ A Δ (Pre Law) formal & then Gina Scheffel's "Dress Your Best .. Or Not!" Party.

( See More! )
Or see all these pictures and some more from thte party that I didn't work in here on flickr.
For no particular reason I thought I'd link to one of my all time very favourite 30 in 30 posts now to inspire you all: Jesus Cthulhu.
As to my best day 3 post choice, I'm not gonna beat around the bush, its going to apoplecticfittz again. Though original megabloggist philosophy1 frowned upon the use of multimedia as taking away from the technique & craft, it was quickly seen that the use of images very greatly enhanced the achievable hilarity in entries. Even those without digital cameras can still find images on the internet to enhance their entries, and I would say I definitely encourage this. It helps counteract the debilitating effects of TL;DR, and frankly I think some of you need to turn some attention to the TL;DR issue.
And so my point is: that apoplecticfittz's post for today is a brilliant example of how a simple office prank can be turned into a hilarious blogccomplishment through effective use of multimedia.
Another example of good use of multimedia I'd like to recognize is orwell_troll's first post (ever, actually). The simple addition of a 51st star to the US flag demonstrates how very simple a brilliant idea can be. In addition to the aforementioned Brent "Darth Laabs" Laabs, I'd like to give a shout out to the other people who have either joined 30 in 30 since my last post or I just forgot them at that time:
gerbilgrrl,
professor_david, the mysterious
anonymous_frosh,
punitrebel, and the venerable
citizene (reporting from Singapore).

Three Years Ago Today: UCD MUN Conference 2003 - First annual UCD MUN Conference. To this day they were my favourite committee ever.
Two Years Ago: 30 in 30 I, Day 3 - shekb declares the pulitzer prize "tapped out." I didn't think the entry was that funny but comments from other participants seem to laud it as blogging gold.
lerani posted about Dennis Quaid & the Sharks, and how you can get him to touch your enemies.
stephenl decides that “The fact is, girls can't keep their pants on when they encounter a guy who's big into anime,” which is further proven by the fact that
shid is now engaged. Also, bloglarious as usual,
apoplecticfittz posts a must-see entry about gummy bear porn - I swear its tasteful ::caugh, get it?::.
Year Ago Today: 30 in 30 II, Day 3 - From the Field - Phonepost abilities unexpectedly failing me, I desperately make a post from some random person's house in Santa Barbara. Not much of a post, but I had to use maximum intrepidness to get it done at all and its the thought that counts, no?
