UPDATE 9:08 AM: COTV #85 goes live with the hour. And I'm still accepting entries up until then.
The Carnival will be up between 9 and 10 AM EST tomorrow. That's as far as I can drag this out...
If you're just checking in one last time before y'alls hit the sack, we're at 20 entries and counting. Good, but not good enough.
How do I know that's not good enough?
Simple. Because I know that every blogger, like me, has one entry buried deep in his weekly archives. An entry crying out to be heard 'round the world...
"Oh master! Please post me to COTV #85 at Thief's Den! I know I may be a little long, or far too short, or a little quirky, or too obscure, or have a few spelling errors that haven't been fixed, or a little rough around the edges, or you may have been drunk when you created me... but I'm still special! I'm unique! I've got a point that hasn't been made, and I want to be HEARD!!!! I'll bring you traffic, I'll take you up a notch of existence! I'll bring you trackbacks and commenters and permalinks on some of the biggest blogrolls in town! Heck, who knows, you might get noticed by the BlogFather...wouldn't that be something! One post could make you a star!!!
"And you're just letting me sit here and rot? When I could do all this for you?
"One e-mail. Not even two minutes worth of your time. For the time it takes to read 10% of a Steven Den Beste posting, I could be turning you into one of the biggest bloggers out there!
"But I can't do that if I'm just sitting here.
"Put me in the game, coach. I can do it!"
You wouldn't refuse something with as much spunk as that little post has, right?
Give it a chance. Let it fulfill its tiny little dream.
Send it to thief[at]thiefsden[dot]net. Operators are standing by. Let those two minutes of your blogging life mean something.
