So, if I could do it without too much trouble I would redesign my blog site. At the top for the banner I’d want a black & white picture of Kip Dynamite in the top left corner, Fez from That 70’s Show just to the right of that, and the members of the band Slipknot to the right of Fez, all superimposed over the Texas flag with little comic book dialog bubbles. Kip’s says “Your mom goes to college.” Fez says “Where is my toast you idiots!” and Slipknot are all simultaneously saying “Bazooka-Joe is the only blog we read!* ” And then there’s some small print at the bottom of the banner that says, “* Slipknot™ are not affiliated with Bazooka-Joe’s blog, but the surgeon general concurs, they’d be much happier people if they were.”

And then on either side of the postings I’d have an infinitely repeating vertical conga line of the high-carb Hostess cartoon caricatures just like in those commercials in the 80’s. You heard me. Twinkie Cowboys, Ho-Ho’s, Zippers, Captain Cupcakes, the whole gang. If I could animate them doing the Macarena now that obviously would be the real goal, but I don’t want the blog to take too long to open for users on 56k dial-up (keep in mind the percentage of my readership that will be Texans & Kentuckians as it grows in popularity).

Then for the side bar where the Links and profile are, it would be cool to have an elongated fuzzy old close-up of Norman Bates as the background even if people couldn’t tell what it was. In fact, it might be cooler if they couldn’t. Each subtitle would be a picture of the word written and randomly misspelled in sharpie on a torn out piece of napkin and each link would be bulleted with an animated GIF of one of those Elvis hip-swinging wall-hanging clocks.

That would be just about the sweetest blog design ever. Oh to dream.
