We're meeting this evening at a local bistro for our July outing, and there are some of us who haven't yet completed our blogging requirements.
You know what that means: The Appetizer of Shame.
What a system: The offending non-blogger has to buy an app for the group to share. We all win, right? The slacker is punished, the group is fed.
Wait a moment.
If a perennial blog bum consistently has to buy appetizers for the group, has he truly learned his lesson? And how can one argue that justice is being served if his finances are shared with his wife (who is a consistent blogger and very nice, may I add)?
Is that fair?
A more fitting outcome for this hypothetical situation is that the slouch have to buy an appetizer of shame AND:
Perform the Bernie dance outside the restaurant.
It's only fair.
For the future of the dinner club, we need to encourage blogging and discourage laziness. The Bernie performance would accomplish both. What say you, Gassies?

I myself hope to never have to perform the Bernie in view of other breathing humans. I feel confident, however, that I will get to point, stare and cackle at a few Gassies in August.
ReplyDeleteI am for it. But I am afraid mom will forget to blog on purpose so she has an excuse to Bernie.
