Blogger Mogul “Blue” Resurfaces

Gemma Massey And Blue

Way back about 100 years it seems, I signed up to a blog service called Modblog. it was a quirky setup with one Hell of a community. After about a week getting all my files and posts together, I emailed the list administrators to approve my blog design. The next day I received an email from “Blue,” one of the admins. That would be my first encounter with Blue. Sadly, as many know, Modblog died a slow death and everyone moved on.

Over the years, I followed Blue wherever she went. She was the rock star of blog photography. Her photo’s were always gritty and biting. Her poetry deep and meaningful. Her life always seemed to come bleeding through with her photography.

Then one day, she was gone…..

No you assholes. She didn’t die, she just moved to yet another blog platform. And then gone again. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen her around these parts, her Twitter is silent, her blogs scratched.

Until today. Blue re-surfaced in London, England photographed with international Glamour model Gemma Massey. Blue, A/K/A Ulla, cut a deal with a movie studio and purchased Blue Bird Studio’s. Gemma Massey is one of many starlets under the Blue Bird umbrella. 2011 is going to be a fantastic year for everyone.

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Modblog Blog Returns After A Four Year Hiatus

Modblog, an original blog platform, offline and shuttered several years ago, has risen yet again. David Gorman is reintroducing Modblog 2.0 at the end of April. Gorman has combined the best of Blogger and WordPress and married the two together to form a rock solid stable blog platform.

Just the other day the Lead Scientist and I were running in the cemetery and we happened upon this grave marker. On a double take, I stopped and read the name again. It was Gorman, the creator of Modblog, the sassy start-up blog service of the early new Millennium.

Yes, I was a member, and for a short period of time, Modblog was a vibrant popular Internet social site. Alas, David Gorman lost control of Modblog and it convulsed and hemorrhaged for several years until finally it was pronounced dead.

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Stump The Neener 2009 – Volume #52

Like the mythical Phoenix, Stump The Neener has risen from the ashes to reclaim it’s glory and position on the Grassy Knoll Institute.

* What is Stump The Neener? It’s the wildly (Or mildly) popular Internet celebrity guessing game. It’s fun and easy to play.

* How old is Stump The Neener? The first Stump The Neener debuted April 7th, 2005 on a blog service called Modblog. It was originally titled Name That Diva. Here is the original post dug up from the Wayback Internet Machine.  Stump The Neener Volume #01

* How do you play Stump The Neener? The rules are simple. For each Stump The Neener volume, I will either display a photo obscuring the identity of a famous person (An actor, actress, sports hero, diva, etc) or I will offer you distorted lines from popular movies or television shows. It is your job to guess who the famous person is or from what movie the lines are from. Simply enter your answer (Guess) in the comments section. First one to guess correctly wins. You can guess as many times as you like. I will add clues as the game goes along if needed or requested.

*Where did Stump The Neener get it’s name from. It was originally called, Name That Diva until a certain fellow Modblogger friend named Neen became the best contestant of the game. Neen would BAM most of the games in just a short time. However, she did not like photo’s of famous people with their grills as the clue.

Enough of the history lesson.

It’s Now Time To Play Stump The Neener Volume #52

Below are three lines that describe the key plot lines to three movies.
Warning! The clue won’t be an exact quote, like, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” (Gone With The Wind) First person with all three correct wins. Good luck.

#01 Someone dropped a house on her sister and she’s pissed!
Name That Movie:

#02 These college lads have been on double secret probation since spring!
Name That Movie:

#03 The call is coming from inside the house!
Name That Movie:

Bonus Clue: None of the movies above are Gone With The Wind.
