I Sold My Cow For Some Magic Beans


In a last ditch attempt to lure in a few more people to my blog I decided to sell my last cow for some magic beans and rent a billboard in NYC. If this kind of desperation doesn't send my readership numbers rocketing all the way into double digits I don't know what else possibly could.

Onto the $2000/day eye magnet I slapped my unfeasibly handsome blog photo along with my blog title and address. How could anyone possibly resist all that. (Go ahead and embiggen the photo and see for yourself. Yeah I know embiggen isn't a real word but they used it on The Simpsons so that means I can too.)

As I am surely on the brink of worldwide infamy I would just like to take a moment to thank all of you who have been kind enough to stop by regularly even though my blog is plain and pointless. You know who you are and so do I.

Actually, none of this is real of course. (Did you believe it at all for even a few seconds?) I don't even have a cow to sell for magic beans, which I'm sure are wonderful, but I doubt you can use them for billboard rent. It's just a made up photo from a website I found. You can do all sorts of fun things with your photos there so if you want to give it a try just go to MakeSweet and check it out.

So, unfortunately, my blog is not about to become well known. It'll be just you and me as always. If I may I'll just repeat one of my previous paragraphs with the exception of the first part of the first sentence.

The email was a great sell...you almost had me. That would almost be worth $2000/day just to see how many people would visit; if you had magic beans of course. The only beans I have are musical ones.

But a very Clever blog indeed.

Ha, great idea. Looks real. I have a great idea. Just get Oprah to mention your blog on her show, then the whole world will know of your great writing skill!

You had me going for a little while. So fun to read your blog Lorin. You really should be a writer. You could review for a newspaper I'm sure. Love Mom
