Howdy y’all!

Hey, I know we usually kick these things off on Mondays, but since it was a holiday here in the U.S. and all, I decided what the hey, and took an extra day off. Anyhoo, what say we get this show on the road!

For those of you who may not know, every month I host a groupwrite project called “What I Learned From…“. It’s open to anyone, and loads of fun – not to mention pretty educational at times – and all you have to do to participate is write a post about whatever the topic is that month.

This month, we’re goin’ for laughs, and all you have to do is… tell us something funny! Yep; that’s it!

Maybe it’s a favorite joke, a funny story, or even share a practical joke or two. Ever written a limerick? Congratulations, that qualifies! Whatever strikes your funny bone, we want to hear it! Also, did you learn anything from it? If so, tell us about that too. (But if all you got was a big belly laugh out of it, no worries; no need to get profound here, I’m just goin’ for laughs this time!)

What to Do

OK, to participate, all you have to do is either write something new and send me the link, or you can send me the link to something you’ve already written. It doesn’t matter how far back the link goes – just send it to me!

The project is open from now thru Sunday, September 13, at midnight (that’s midnight to me, which is GMT-5 time), so write your post(s) (yes, you can enter more than once!), and send me the links! I’ll post the entire list of entries on Monday, September 14.

And let’s not forget the details…

1. Write a new post (or link to an existing one) on your blog with a link to THIS POST (uh, the one you’re reading now). As I said, feel free to be as eloquent (or concise) as you like. C’mon; show off for us!
2. Send me an email (rhruzek@sbcglobal.net) containing your name, the title of your post, and the permalink of the post. (To make sure I don’t miss it.)

That’s all there is to it! Next Monday, September 14, I will post the entire list of entries right here at the Middle Zone, so be sure and drop by to check ‘em all out.

As always, we have just two simple rules around here:

• For the sake of the general blogging audience, please keep it G-Rated. (Also please note: this is a request, not a demand, since after all it’s your blog and you can do what you want. Fair warning: I can choose to link to you or not.)
• Be nice.

All right, ladies and gentlemen; you know what to do! Grab the writing instrument of your choice and start writing!

[Note from the Proprietor - I realize it takes a little time to write your entries, but would you mind too terribly not waiting until midnight on Sunday night, September 13 to notify me? Sometimes it can be difficult to get them all compiled by Monday's 6 am post time! I surely thank you, and as a token of my appreciation - have yourself a cookie!]
