One of the places I lurk is A Frank Angle. Besides the satire of subjects whose straight man treatment makes me have faith species should eat their young, it is an eclectic mix which I find relaxing. So to shake things up, he went and dared his audience.
Like M3, AFA is huge. Frank has three years and 300 posts on me. His version of the A to Z Challenge was to introduce new readers to some classics and nuggets which may be missed in the frenzied attempt to keep up with the fast pace of the blogosphere.
At the time I wrote (and scheduled) this, there were 875+ posts on M3. My take on his take on A to Z is a bit more in keeping with the 30 Day Challenge which was already in progress for May. (His was a very impromptu challenge.)
The fun in this for me was rereading some of the fun we have had. I knew what the posts all said, so the comments really made me laugh… again. This is a bird’s eye view into Red’s world from A to Z with some posts you may have never known were convictions of mine. Since we have traveled many series in the last eighteen months, we have not repeated anything. Instead, we have expanded, gone on tangents, circled the block and come home to discuss it all.
You will be pleasantly surprised to find more than a few of these are top tens and pictorials, a window into which to peer.
Let’s return, compliments of a ticket from Frank, to M3’s roots of identity… And the standard drink warning.
I love them. I have quite a few. I have had many.
I celebrate them.
If you are new to the Internet, you may not know I have ten.
Not just the leftover pieces parts… all of it.
Green. Full stop. And then blue.
I am very in touch with my inner arsonist.
Even if you have no idea what it means, you know it when you see it.
For everyone who does not know, I am partially deaf in one ear. This post is not about that.
A top ten.
Secrets, giggles and head scratchers.
You cannot make a good kaleidoscope without breaking some pretty glass.
Where it all began.
The uncanny resemblance and the glaring difference.
The most powerful pair of letters in our language… and Monty Python.
Must love Clyde.
Do not read this with coffee in your mouth.
With its own meme, a spot on every post, three separate posts, a series, …I just have to ask.
A game I play with more regularity than is prudent.
For as much as I love quiet, I have learned to fill the silence.
In the interest of full disclosure… although there is a post named that, this top ten is not it.
What do Looney Tunes and spam have in common? The Friday Follies, of course.
The hardest two pounds I ever lost.
Good for absolutely nothing.
Every once in a while you really should open one. Just for the giggles.
You know I crave it. Always have.
Do not look surprised. It is funny. True, but funny.
If you are so inclined to take this challenge, grab the badge above and link it back to Frank’s post. (Right click the image and choose copy link address.) Open the image in another tab to get it full sized. Be sure and tell him I sent you. If you link back here, I would love to scroll through your posts.
As always, I look forward to your comments here and there.

/ May 9, 2013Nice. Imaginative. I’ll try keeping up by reading as many as I can manage. So many imaginative challenges but I’m in information overload.
