National Blog Posting Month

Welcome to the Ministry of Silly Blogs

Thank you all for joining me in the pursuit of Silliness. I have (due to my own insanity) started an Official Ministry of Silly Blogs Blog, which will serve as a place for various Official Ministry Updates, Official Ministry Linkages, and other forms of Official Ministry Silliness.

Official Ministry Job Titles, will be made available to any who would like to have them. If you would like to choose a Job Title, you are welcome to. Otherwise, I may assign Job Titles to you Willy-Nilly. (Official Ministry Job Titles entail no Official Ministry Obligations, and also no Official Ministry Remuneration. However, if you prefer not to have an Official Ministry Job Title, please let me know by responding to this discussion.)

See the Official Ministry Website soon for Details.

(I'd write and post the details now, but I'm supposed to be doing work, dammit! Curses, foul NaBloPoMo! November hasn't even started yet and I am already spending too much time blogging for it...)

I wish to submit the following entry for your approval to Silliness Status. This is not my blog, just one I stumbled across which caused a stitch in my side, and this is the evidence which I believes supports its eligibility. http://mustachesofthenineteenthcentury.blogspot.com
Thank you for your consideration.; ▶ Reply to This

Perhaps your Involvement with the Ministry will encourage you to develop from the levels of Occasionally Silly to Often Silly.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Sassy on November 1, 2007 at 7:19am: Can I just say how silly it is that the ministry of silliness accepts anyone who considers themself too be silly. Shouldn't there be some kind of quality control on a quality as serious as slliness? Without proper silly screening, how can we be sure that those among us are truly silly? How can you be sure that I myself am silly? I'm very serious about this.

BTW, would this be an inappropriate moment to say that I am definitely 'in' on the job title scam?; ▶ Reply to This

However, we do make some Allowances for Individuals who, while not themselves always Silly, are capable of recognizing and appreciating Quality Silliness.

Your own Seriousness about Silliness marks you as being Exceptionally Silly. Perhaps you would be interested in a position in the area of Silliness Quality Control?; ▶ Reply to This
