Gettin’ Outta the Comfort Zone
Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!
Breaking out of his comfort zone
ANNOUNCEMENT (sound of trumpets): Today I have the distinct bad luck misfortune honor to become the newest member of that exciting, dynamic, and not to mention extremely handsome writing team at Scrambled Toast (sound of one hand clapping).
What the heck is Scrambled Toast, you ask?
Well, it’s the spawn insanity brainchild of my buddy Brad Shorr, who writes prolifically (and quite authoritatively, too) at Word Sell, Inc. on the subjects of marketing and copywriting. However, whenever he feels like a wild hair is coming on, he writes over at his other blog, Scrambled Toast. At least, he used to.
Unfortunately, it’s become sorta neglected lately. Despite that, Scrambled Toast still seems to generate significant traffic. Go figure! So, rather than just taking it out back of the shed and, y’know, putting it out of its misery, Brad decided to try and revive the little darlin’.
The other day he issued an open invitation for any suckers nutcases writers who enjoy writing in a humorous vein (or if not, perhaps a jocular artery), and might like to join him to see what could be done to reinvigorate it.
Not being one to shy from a challenge, I decided to take the ol’ bull by the horns, if you get my meanin’ (unlike the unfortunate fellow pictured here). So, every now and then I’ll be posting something over at Scrambled Toast, just for the fun of it. As a matter of fact, today’s post is there right now:
Sure, But Would You Wear the T-Shirt?
Generally speaking, I’ll be writing about… well, why not go read it yourself? You’ll enjoy it, I promise. And if you like it, go ahead and subscribe, why don’cha?
But hey, you never know; it could be about… you! Naw, just kidding. Really.
[Note from the Proprietor: In case you're wondering why there are so many repeats of Scrambled Toast, I'm utilizing a marketing technique called "repetition". Let's see how it worked, shall we? Close your eyes and answer this question: So what was that website again?]

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...
I’m afraid I pronounced it wrong. To me it was Doomahses Taco. “So why the big fuss?”, said I. Just goes to show how tricky humor can be.

Well, I don’t care WHAT Brad says; I still say It’s not my fault!
And somebody please pass the marmalade…
Robert, you are off to a great Scrambled Toast start. Dumas is exactly the sort of thing we should be writing about over there. Thanks for giving my labor of love new life, sir! (Marmalade and tacos? Hmm …)
Brad Shorrs last blog post..Why Companies Should Outsource Web Content
I still dont get what scrambled toast is exactly?
I’m headed over there now Robert to see what you and Brad have cooked up! Sounds enticing and I’m always up for a dose of your humor!
I just now found this blog. I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it. Nothing like a laid back kinda blog. I hate those types that sound like they’re preaching at ya or yelling at you telling you how to do everything. This is more like talking to an old friend. Keep it up.

@Brad - Marmalade and tacos? Probably tastes like chicken, right?
Hey, it’s gonna be a fun ride, I’ll tell ya. Lots and lots of stuff out there just waiting for a comment or two or ten. Yee-haw!

@KeeKee - Hey, welcome to the Middle Zone, KeeKee! Look around, kick the tires, subscribe, if ya would. But just so ya know; once you’ve fallen into the Zone, you’ll never recover. I’m just sayin’…

reses last blog post..meningkatkan trafik dengan keyword
@Rese - Well, it’s either a whacky breakfast food (something like green eggs and ham) or a slightly skewed look at the world around us. Take your pick. OR… choose both!
Congratulation, Robert for being a new author of the Scrambled Toast…
No, I wouldn’t wear this Dumass Taco T-shirt and walking down the streets, as I don’t want people looking at me like a dumb assh**e here lol
OK, OK, I’ll go check out that Scrambled Toast! Good luck with that!
@Wilson - Thanks; and I’m with ya, Bubba!
