An OOB Award To…
Did you know Liz Strauss at Successful Blog hosts “open mic” night every Tuesday night? It’s a lot like a giant get together over coffee (or whatever else you might happen to have on hand) where everyone gets together and chats about whatever subject Liz initially selects (it was winter vacation spots this time). It’s pretty freewheeling, and lots of fun; it’s a chat without the chat room.
I know that sounds weird, but you should try it sometime. The advantage over chatrooms is you can keep track of every conversation and even participate easily, via comments. Every Tuesday night, 7 pm CST (-6 GMT).
The reason I brought it up is because of belly button lint. Yep, you heard me – belly button lint.
You see, it’s like this…
Monique Attinger challenged us last Tuesday to give her various topics, and she would then write a post on her insurance blog about how that topic is related to insurance. (Monique sells… well, you know.) Barely had I managed to think up a few but doggone if Liz didn’t beat me to it by suggesting “Euclidian Geometry and insurance”, “sequins and insurance”, and “thixotropic and insurance”. Pretty quick on the keys there, Liz!
Anyway, I suggested “lawn darts and insurance”, “the Roaming Gnome and insurance”, “sushi and insurance”… and “belly button lint and insurance”.
Well, a tip of the hat and an OOB (Out Of the Box) Award goes to Monique, because sure enough, she actually wrote a post titled “Belly button lint and insurance“. I gotta tell ya, Monique: Great Job!!
If you’re sitting there thinking to yourself, there’s no way belly button lint can have anything with insurance, then think again! Do yourself a favor and read it for yourself.
Excellent thinking outside the box, Monique!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
You’re welcome, Liz. Now I just gotta come up with some kind of actual trophy or something…
Hi Robert!
Thanks for the PR. What a great post. Monique is such fun and your challenge was a creative and difficult one. I love your choice of awards. YEA! for both of you!
Liz
It just doesn’t read right without the “exclamation mark” after “thanks, Robert”… Missed that!
Well, I hope folks will take the time to read on Lawn Darts and Insurance, as well as Thixotropic Substances and Insurance when they stop by my blog!
Gee — thanks, Robert. I hereby accept this award, and would like to thank the academy…
