So the term “mommyblogger” is pretty much the new “bitches”. It was out of style for a bit but now it’s returning with a vengeance. (We’re taking it back, motherf’ers!) I wrote about it on my other blog and got this response from a friend of mine:
Friend: Hey, I read your post about mommybloggers. You spelled ‘beaver’ wrong.
Me: What are you talking about? Where do you see “beaver”?
Friend: You wrote it on your face. Beever.
Me: That says “BELIEVER“.
Friend: Oh.
Me: Can I ask why you thought I would write “Beaver” across my face? And more importantly, why the only thing weird thing to you was that I misspelled it?
Friend: It did seem a little weird.
Me: What the hell is wrong with you?
Friend: I just thought you’d like to know.
Me: Yes, actually, I would like to know if you see me posting pictures with “Beaver” written across my face because that would mean I should be committed.
Friend: Well I’ll keep an eye out then.

Awesomeness.

Special shout out to my friend PreppyGirl who pointed out that the rather judgemental ad next to the post about my kitty being put to death is unintentionally hysterical in a truly horrific kind of way:

Have you noticed that lately I’ve been blogging a lot about blogging? Next stop…me live-blogging my blogging about blogging and recording it all to upload on youtube. It’s like looking into a mirror with another mirror behind you (i.e. boring and headache-inducing). Then the world implodes from all the narcissism.
Best comment of the day: “You spelled Brokaw wrong.” ~Sjinky
Oh man…I should totally shout out FIRST like one of those assholes who shouts out FIRST and then is actually like the 14th commenter. We need to coin a term for that for the urban dictionary.
This post gave me a belly laugh.

What’s wrong with writing Beaver on your face???
Maria [Immoral Matriarch]’s last blog post..NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I’m pretty sure your friend must be one of my husband’s friends. That man sees the word “beaver” everywhere.

You spelled Brokaw wrong.

Make sure you record the live blogging of the blogging for a podcast, and video it for a vodcast. Then the circle will be complete.
The cat cracks me up. How come I didn’t notice that?

this blog + being a new mom with weakened bladder control = really bad news
teresa’s last blog post..Amazing!
You look strangely like June Cleaver in that picture… hey, that rhymes with “beaver”. Could that be why they though you’d write that on your face?
People are weird. It’s like guys writing “penis” on their noses. Like we didn’t already know.

I have to say I’m disappointed that this post didn’t include a picture of you with BEAVER written across your forehead. Here’s hoping for next time…
Absolutely Bananas’s last blog post..Sticky
1) You have a beaver on your face????
2) Your beauty mark is…beautiful.
3) But you wear a BANDANA??? WTH is wrong with you???
4) It’s okay to have “beaver” written across your face as long as there’s not a beaver ON your face. Because, contrary to popular opinion, there is something very wrong with a mommyblogger having beaver on her face.
Robin’s last blog post..Waxing poetic all the day long…
1. I love that someone would think you’d be crazy enough to write beaver…do they think you are an Oregon State fan?
2. The ad is rather twistedly funny.
3. And, check you out Ms Blogger pro! Making the big time!

I hope you take this as a compliment, but your face is so porcelain, you look like a movie star from the 1940s – gorgeous, dahlink.
Sunshine’s last blog post..Birthday Cake is Good for the Munchies
Excellent timing on the ads! Accepting them and then getting Kawasakied! Guess you’ll have that dentistry paid for in 10…9…8…

Wait … are you saying having beaver on your face is a bad thing? I’m so confused!
I want a t-shirt that reads, “I’m a beaver-faced mommyblogger, bitch.”
Robyn’s last blog post..Star-crossed or Star-crushed?
I love the lighting bolt “i” in the word “artist” that is on your face. It’s bitchen in an 80’s sort of way. Like a Peachie folder.

I keep getting called the anti mommy blogger. Mainly by guys and then they want to see my boobs….. But I am in Australia and we don’t have Mommies here we have Mummies (not the wrapped in bandages kind) and that is a whole different story.
And no beavers here. Perhaps I should write Platypus on my face?

Oh and thank you – I am truly honored to be Bloggessed.

I came back to see a) what I wrote last night while under a “certain” influence and b) to read comments since I knew they’d outscorch your post (you gave us a lot to work with…).
Lotta and BusyDad owe me a new laptop…I blew a nice combo of snot and coffee on it after reading what they said and it short-circuited the mutha….
Robin’s last blog post..License to Limerick
Even the “expression” on judgemental cat’s anthropomorphised “face” is telling. He’s got this narrowing to the eyes that says – “Hey Motherfucker, don’t fuck with my bladder, you bladder squeezing jackass.”
I want to take him home.
Kawasakied is a good word, I will never be that cool, but I have been bloggessed once or twice.
Michael’s last blog post..TT – Bumper stickers piss me off.
Hey, I think I know you well enough to know that you would never have written Beaver across your face unless you gave equal time to Wally. Because that would just be wrong.
AB’s last blog post..Fresh Start
I enjoy your posts about blogging. You have your hand on the pulse of the strange and wonderful world of blogging. And tragic cat stories.

OK, the cat thing made me snort my cereal milk out my nose. So thank you for that.
Candy’s last blog post..Fresh Out of Funny
You little slut. You got kawasakied twice. Congratulations!
If you have a beaver on your face, you should be proud and put it where the world can see.
How did I manage to miss that ad?

holy crap! Best. Post. Ever. Congrats on kawasakification!
anne nahm’s last blog post..You Can Tell I’m Nervous Because This Post Sucks
Michael stole my word! I totally coined “Bloggessed”. I’m going to Urban Dictionary right now to copyright that mofo.
PS Love the picture! You do look like an old Hollywood movie star, which means lover should be spelled “lovah”
The Introvert’s last blog post..return of creepy myspace guy
Last time I checked, beaver shouldn’t be written on your face…….
Nikki’s last blog post..Do I really have to title this damn post?
At least you are a chilled beever. You wrote “chilled” on your face, but it is spelled incorrectly, as “child.”
Occidental Girl’s last blog post..Administration
this has nothing to do with your cat or being a beever…

Biddy’s last blog post..I’ve always thought these look like milk trucks…
If you wrote “beaver” on your face, did you also write “face” on your beaver?
A shout out on the Bloggess!!?!?!?! I feel like I’ve been Kawasakied – only better. I’ve been Daisy Mae Perez-ed!
preppygirl’s last blog post..Is It Wrong… ?
Hell yeah, you’re slightly ahead of me. You’re the chick who writes “Beaver” across her face. Of course you’re ahead of me. In fact, I can’t believe they didn’t put you even higher.
I feel Kawasakied by being a comparative point for the Bloggess. Thanks.
Congrats on the double Kawasakification!!
I snorted iced tea when I clicked over to furiousball’s picture that he did in honor of you.

I never know what’s funnier- your posts or the comments. Either way, I get my giggles in (actually, I’m a snorter, but giggling sounds much nicer).
Jenni’s last blog post..Scrolling Saturday: Little Helpers
Crawled out from under my rock the first time this week to discover your pussy is dead, you have beaver a beaver face and you’re advertising cunnilingus on fadiddle.
I’m crawling back under my rock now, to go mourn the kitty’s loss but think of dirty things to do when my husband gets home next week…

I so did not notice that ad next to your post about the cat. Seriously funny in a sick kind of way. Now off for a rag to clean the coffee off the computer screen that I spewed while reading this……….
Lisa’s last blog post..Random ideas
Aren’t all mommiebloggers already crazy? I’ve heard the kids and all that goes with it makes one that way, or at least that’s the “excuse” used. Assuming that’s the case, who cares if you want to advertise beavers on your face. Now, if you actually HAVE a beaver on your face, that could be real trouble. ;P
The Pear Lady’s last blog post..Blog Party Across the WWW
It’s ridiculous how much I love you people.
A few responses:
1. I know I’m from Texas but, no, that is *not* a bandana on my head. It’s part of my bellydancing costume from my days before Hailey. For real.
2. Not sure if I’ll make it to Dallas for the Bossy party. Right now I’m saving up all my extra cash (and the 4 dollars I’ve made from ads) for Blogher. By the way, all of you need be at Blogher so we can mingle (drunkenly). FOUR DOLLARS!
3. Furiousball – You spelled beaver wrong, cootchie-snorcher.
Not to further poop on your party, but you also spelled “fiend” wrong. It’s called SpellCheck…use it. Sheesh.
Missie’s last blog post..Sick Freak
Love the head scarf! Very 1950s of you. Bellydancing or no bellydancing. HEY! I took a class in Montrose in the’90s. Maybe we ran into each other there. 😉
I guess I’ve become a mommy blogger too! We RULE! Now that’s ’80s for you.
Shoegirl’s last blog post..Leftover PMS
I would totally write “beaver” on my face.

But look at you all BFF with the motorcycle dude.
Sandra’s last blog post..I Am Not An Aboriginal Woman
you know, if you took that picture and wrote MOMMYBLOGGER across the top and made it a thumbnail, my guess is that it would take 24 seconds until half the internets had your picture displayed as a button on thier sidebars
because you are just that cool 🙂
Katy’s last blog post..Just a quick update
So, it’s official. But the words “beaver” and “face” in the same sentence and you get my attention.
Good to know.

LOVE that you’re on Alltop AGAIN! Is that too much pressure to be funny?
Lawyer Mama’s last blog post..Shutter Sisters – The Daily Click
OK, I can understand about the “beever” thing – but what’s with the “fried” label? Maybe you meant “fried beaver” and got them backwards, in addition to mis-spelling “beaver”? And why would you want to fry a beaver anyway – what have the beavers ever done to you?

Shit, I’ve never had a problem with the word beaver, though now, after this exchange about beaver and then imagining your face with beaver scrawled upon your temple, well, I’m afraid as my girls play with their beaver, gifted by our dearest boy-I-sure-do-love-being-a-lesbian friend, I’ll struggle doubly not to blush.
amanda’s last blog post..Eliot, you broke my heart.
At least it didn’t say “hairy beaver.” I hate that I remember stupid things from movies that I never intended to watch.
And Jenny, you could blog about anything.
