Baxter Bark Twice

Do as I say, never as I do

I will literally do anything to be liked

Greetings.

Couple of things: I made it so that BBT is now MUCH more mobile-device friendly. If you are reading this from your mobile device, you know what I’m talking about because it is now a simple format instead of the narrow margin of text that was pretty much impossible to read. I hope this helps. You are welcome.

Also, in efforts to make Baxter Bark Twice a worldwide phenomenon, I am going to award one lucky Facebook fan $20 to iTunes. Who wouldn’t want $20 to iTunes?! According to the web information company Alexa, BBT is ranked as the 9,623,940th viewed site on all of the interweb, reaching .00001 percent of global internet users. I don’t really know what to make of that, but I feel as though I could do better. Ergo, here’s what you do:

1. LIKE me on Facebook.

By Friday at noon, I will choose someone at random and email them the code to their $20 iTunes gift card. Said winner can choose to remain anonymous or we can come up with some kind of moniker to announce their win – whatevs, I don’t really care, but I want more fans on Facebook, so I’ve resorted to actually paying you to be my friend. People respond well to bribes incentives, and I have no shame. Sorry I’m not sorry. If you’re already a fan not to worry – you can still win, but feel free to help generate some buzz.

Just think of what you could do with $20 to iTunes…make a brand new mix CD for that special someone; catch up on old episodes of Rescue Me; re-gift it to someone you’re too lazy/cheap to buy something for… The options are endless!

Thanks in advance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BBT!!!

Posted by AllieB on July 21, 2011

Feliz cumpleaños! Joyeux anniversaire! Buon compleanno! สุขสันต์วันเกิด! سالگرہ مبارک! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (credit: Google Translate)

On this day in 2010, I posted my very first blog entry. I wrote it, published it, sent an email to a few people, left my office for lunch, and had massive anxiety the moment I was out the door. How far I’ve come!!!

Some neat facts:

Most viewed entry: Racks come in all shapes and sizes (this, unfortunately, is due to the J Simps reference I have in quotes and picks up an embarrassing number of Goog searches. I hope she doesn’t kill me in my sleep.)

Most commented entry: BBT Exclusive: Survey of the Sexes (one of these days….we’ll do #2)

Most popular feedback (male): ENOUGH KATE MIDDLETON – but she is pretty hot (I’m a girl and I like royalty)

Most popular feedback (female): I want a shout out!! (can’t force these things…your time will come)

BBT is nothing without her readers – many thanks to those who faithfully visit, and especially those who make suggestions – even if they’re dumb, I appreciate the effort.

I didn’t really know what to do to celebrate, so I made a collage of myself. I feel pretty retarded about it, but I’ve got a lot going on today so it is what it is.

Thank you for joining me.
