Question for the group:

Now that  my Embryonic Police State is off and running, I have another idea (or two ... wince?) for another weekly diary series.  Would I be overextending my welcome (I AM an American immigrant to ET after all) if I started yet ANOTHER series ... don't want to be an ET space hog.

What think you?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Diaries are always welcome. I think the problem generally is too few, not too many.

I think you don't need to ask.

Here are the two ideas; I'll go with one if the crowd approves:

1.  My first exposure to blogging; dKos, little over a year ago; didn't like their "my way or the highway" attitude; fuck that shit; did think that Bill in Portland Maine was quite good; sent him an email; pre-he was getting paid for the gig; asked him if he worked alone, did he accept outsider material; said politely that he was a one man show; Oh well.

So, how about a weekly ET humor bit; I (we?) could give old Bill a run for his money, given the ET crowd?

2. I did a little bit at Docudharma before coming here.  Tried to get those folks interested in a regular Monday Nite (American) Football blog - live while the game goes on.  A true drunken, swearing  time for all.  Mind you, this is at 6 PM CA time on Mondays, 2 AM for you Europeans so probably an American thing.

Those are my 2 current ideas.  Don't be kind.  If they both stink, tell me now.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

That's not how it works.

You write a diary. If the crowd approves it gets recommended.

This is what I will do; just got back from my AM walk; my back needs some rest; I'll let you folks weigh in on the 2; if I don't get a preference from you folks, I'll try the humor one first; more general; less American.  Check back in 3 -4 hrs.  bye.

There's really no need to ask for permission. If you have some ideas for diaries then go for it - we can't really comment on diaries that haven't been written. if you get no recs and no comments then it's fallen flat and there's your answer. Or it might turn out to be popular.  If there's something you want to do then just give it a go.
