Back'n Tha Day
Today, I extended an Facebook group invitation to my buddy Jay Thompson. Not
just any invitation mind you. One of such exclusivity that the Skull & Bones crowd
would find themselves on the outside, looking in. In fact, even the queen weenie
master herself, and host of this blog of mass destruction (cleverly disguised as
a hot dog stand) is not yet eligible for invitation to the Back'n Tha Day
Facebook group.
What is Back'n Tha Day?
Well, unlike Skull & Bones, we can talk about Back'n The Day. In fact, that's the only point of the group. To gloat. Back'n Tha Day is reserved for real estate bloggers with three years or more of blogging experience. Today, Jay joins the likes of Dustin Luther, Maureen Francis, Kristal Kraft, Jim Duncan and myself. Today Jay can start saying stuff like:
Back'n Tha Day, we didn't need no fancy RSS reader to read all our favorite real estate blogs.
Back'n Tha Day, we thought Active Rain had something to do with seeding clouds.
Back'n Tha Day, Brad Inman actually blogged on the Inman Blog.
Back'n Tha Day, making Hanan Levin's bloggers list was the gold standard... It still is.
Back'n Tha Day, we didn't have blog wars.
Back'n Tha Day, the Blog Squad was the bomb.
Back'n Tha Day, we didn't need blog coaches, or SEO experts to make it work.
Back'n Tha Day, we just jumped in.
Welcome Jay. As Jim Duncan would say, you're old school now. When other bloggers try to give you advice, or tell you you're wrong, just tell them, "Dude, I'm Back'n Tha Day". Argument over. When a blog coach pitches their services to you, just ask them, "Are YOU Back'n Tha Day? I didn't think so... bye bye." Best of all, when you're downing a pint of beer at Inman Connect this summer, a simple nod to your fellow Back'n Tha Day members will be all it takes to confer the obvious. Original RE Blogger in da house yo.
Jay, Is looking so Village People like... Back'n Tha Day.

Jay is finally legit in the group! Woo hoo!
His blog shares a birthday with yours truly. I am much older though. His blog is smarter. We can call it a tie.

Welcome Jay! Just when I feel really old, something happens to make me feel even older.
Where did I leave my cane? Could someone please tell me why I am here? What is this place?

Is it Invite Only?
My blog is so old, my first post was written in pencil.

Back'n Tha Day,
I refer to this group as "Those that came to RE blogging in a covered wagon". Pardner!

My blog is so old, the first comment was left by Moses.

My blog is so old, I used to blog about Burger King when he was still a prince.

Jay: Welcome to the club. Now make sure you follow the rules of not telling anyone about the club's existence!

So Jay, does your blog need tennis balls for the bottom of its walker now? ;)

You people are nuts.
Tennis balls... :0)

You got that right, Jay! Congrats, from a baby blogger!
