Last week was a resounding success with 13+ entires. For week three I would like to see the Bonfire attract 20+ entries. The Bonfire will burn bright Monday afternoon, so Monday noon EST is absolute deadline for Week 3 of the Bonfire of the Vanities. Get those entries in now ! If everything you have posted this week was great, do yourself a favor and post; then enter a stinker.
E-mail me a link to your worst post of the week and include any extenuating circumstance, humorous commentary, or self serving excuse for your pathetic post. I will be including a putrid post of my own on the list. I’m also taking suggestions for the style of mocking tone to apply to all entries this week with credit given to person whose suggestion is used.
If you want to participate but don’t know what to submit, just point me to your blog, although this is not the preferred method of entry. If you don’t give me a specific entry I might end up featuring a post you are proud of, so I advise against entering your whole blog. Also those whole blog entries are more work for me, so I do them last.
Who says bloggers are self absorbed? Prove them wrong by mocking yourself!
Previous Bonfires can be found here.
I just tried to submit an entry (again) and found out my email addy is on your spam list. What say you?

Even the forward of this message/reply back to you didn’t work. I guess I’ll have to revert to another email address and give you a bare-bones link. I’m tired of typing the same thing 3 times…
