Everybody Out Of The Pool!



UPDATE: (July 5)
The Google guys are working on my comments problem. Let's hope it gets solved.

We interrupt this party to bring you a public service announcement from our friend Eroswings. You can read about it HERE.

Eros is valiantly leading a crusade to have my missing comments restored and the comments of fellow Infomaniac bitch Leni Qinan.

All my comments on your blogs (and my blog) have been wiped out. Also, any comments I leave using my regular log-in/stripey tights avatar mysteriously vanish after 24 hours.

Eros asks you to “Please help us spread the word and join in our group action starting Wednesday 30 June 2010 to Tuesday 6 July 2010.

Mistress MJ hopes you can visit Eroswings HERE to read about how Infomaniac bitches can make a difference and restore the missing comments.

After all, it was the work of Eroswings and many of you bitches who helped restore Infomaniac when it was removed earlier this month.

You may now return to the party in progress. (see previous post)



Note: Mistress MJ returns now to her summer hiatus.

Party All Summer Long!



Welcome to our final post of the summer.

Infomaniac is on hiatus but while we’re away, we’re hosting a MIX ‘N’ MINGLE PARTY.

And you’re welcome to pop in anytime…all summer long!



What’s a Mix ‘n’ Mingle party, you ask?

It’s a chance for you to get to know your fellow Infomaniac Bitches a little better.

And it’s a way to keep our little community close while Mistress MJ is away.

Here’s how it works…

Study Infomaniac's Blogroll.

Select at least one blog that you’ve never visited and/or commented on and click upon it. The more blogs you visit, the more fun you’ll have. Besides, you have ALL SUMMER LONG to visit other bitches!

I SAID CLICK ON IT! LET ME HEAR YOU CLICKING, DAMMIT!

Now read at least one entry on that blog.



Next…

Leave a comment on their blog as follows:

“I was sent here by MJ from Infomaniac.”

Feel free to add more to your comment if you wish.

Remember…play nicely!...




If you don’t have something nice to say about another bitch’s blog, don’t say anything at all! Move along until you find a blog more to your liking.

Then…

Come back to Infomaniac and tell us which blog(s) you commented on.

Where do you think you're going? We’re not done yet!

When you come back you’ll all gather in the kitchen where you’ll share a potluck dinner.

What dish are you bringing?



Now head over to the Blogroll and meet some new people!

Get this party started!



One more thing…

A few of our bitches appear to be on hiatus as well. If you notice that they haven’t posted in a long time, tell them to get the hell back here and make it snappy!

Unfortunately, Mistress MJ can’t join in on the fun of the Mix ‘n’ Mingle party and has to sit this one out...



Oh, and just because I’m away doesn’t mean I won’t be keeping my eye on this blog. So no shenanigans, tomfoolery or hooliganism.

See you in September, bitches!

All my love,

Mistress MJ

Ayem8y: New Mr. Nude Infomaniac!


Ayem8y: The new Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2010 (click to biggify)

In a shocking move yesterday, Ayem8y snatched the Mr. Nude Infomaniac crown from Eroswings’ head!

Perhaps I exaggerate.

Let’s hear it straight from Eroswings’ mouth, shall we?

*Surprised gasp and looks around in disbelief...bows to receive crown and scepter...then wipes away tears, walks down the runway and nods and waves to the crowd*

Thank you! Thank you! I am truly honored to be chosen as the new Mr Nude Infomaniac! I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one who voted for me! Thank you for your support--and thank you athletic supporter, for keeping everything together!

And thank you judges, for licking up all that ice cream that spilled down my body! It was a very thoughtful way to be green, using no paper towels and saving a tree.

I'm truly touched--just not in the same way the judges touched me during the swimsuit competition. I am moved to be in the presence of such great company.

Damien set high standards that we should all aspire to in the quest for World Peace and representing the fantastic, fabulous, and phenomenal Infomaniac community.

My first official act as Mr Nude Infomaniac 2010 is to ask for your support in restoring MJ's and Leni's missing comments to all our blogs. It was the power of this great community, united and working together that got us Infomaniac back online. And I believe that our collective efforts can help restore the missing comments. Please, join our efforts to post at Blogger Forum to help return the missing comments and keep MJ's and Leni's new comments from being erased by blogger bots. Together, we can do great things! Together, we can move mountains!

My second official act as Mr Nude Infomaniac 2010 is to retire my crown and step down in favor of Mr Ayem8y. Truly, anyone who mows the lawn nekkid (with sharp objects and projectiles flying around the fragile, tender regions) deserves to win. I believe he embodies the Infomaniac spirit of adventure, humor, zest for life, and loyalty to friends. Not to mention he's been nude on the blog a lot.

So thank you everyone, for your support and your efforts. I am humbled and truly moved by your actions. And Congratulations, Ayem8y! You've just become the New Mr Nude Infomaniac 2010!



Eros continues...

I'd like to thank you all for your support and helping me win the Mr Nude Infomaniac title. It has been the best thing to happen to me this month! Y'all made me feel giddy with joy and laughter. I got such a boost of energy from this win that I went for a 2 mile run at 4:50 am in my boxer briefs just to burn off the extra energy. I'd put up pics, but I still don't have a new digital camera.

This contest provided me with a great opportunity to present my pageant platform of restoring MJ and Leni's missing comments to our blogs and of course, World Peace.

We've a long way to go to achieve both goals. I shall have to step down from my duties as Mr Nude Infomaniac in order to concentrate my efforts at reaching those goals. I am counting on Ayem8y to keep up the morale of our troops, with his grace, his skills, and his nude foto updates to Infomaniac. I'm also counting on Michael Guy to use his talents and ass-ets to ensure the Infomaniac community continues to thrive.

I shall be focusing a lot more of my energy and time for the campaign to restore all of MJ's and Leni's missing comments and keep blogger from automatically erasing their new comments. And I need your help, your support to make this happen.

It was our collective, united efforts that got Infomaniac back online. And it will take our collective, community efforts to return MJ's and Leni's missing comments and keep the new ones from being erased.

Please join in our fight. Every action we make counts.

And don't worry, my proctologist and herpetologist have given me a clean bill of health, and they've assured me that I may continue my work in servicing the community and doing charity work.

And now a word from Ayem8y



Magnanimous!

Thank you Eros I am truly touched by your gesture. I think we are all winners for having the guts to actually appear nude in this forum. Why just one “Mr. Nude Infomaniac”? The Infomaniac Mansion is a vast estate and I propose that we all three should rule in a sort of nude Trilogy of Terror.

I nominate Eros as the official “Mr. Nude Infomaniac Ambassador” and Michael Guy as “Mr. Nude Infomaniac Decorator” and me of course as “Mr. Nude Infomaniac Lawn Mower”.

All in favor say AYE…



What’s this? No lying about on the job, Ayem8y!

Congratulations once again to our new Mr. Nude Infomaniac “Ayem8y”; our new Mr. Nude Congeniality “Eroswings” (congeniality title suggested in a secret missive by Ayem8y); and our new “Mr. Nude Infomaniac Decorator, “Michael Guy”.

Announcing Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2010!

UPDATE: Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2010 steps down! Read the comments and come back on Thursday for more!

Mistress MJ is pleased to announce the winner of the Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2010 Pageant.

Congratulations, EROSWINGS!






The final tally:

Eros: 7 votes
Ayem8y: 6 votes and an ass-munching
Michael Guy: 5 votes and a marriage proposal

At his point we ask Damien Oz of Australia, Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2009, to place the crown on Eros’ head and the sceptre in his hand.

We ask Eros to make a speech after he dries his eyes and composes himself.

We ask Ayem8y to take his role as runner-up seriously in the event that Eros cannot fulfil his duties.

We ask Michael Guy to continue submitting photos of himself au naturel, doing odd jobs about the house.

Let’s hear it for all our brave, beautiful contestants!

And thanks to everyone who dropped by the polling station.

Eroswings is more than just a pretty set of pecs…he’s an Infomaniac hero.

Eroswings led the crusade to save Infomaniac.

Not content to rest on his laurels, Eros is actively and tirelessly campaining in a Blogger help forum to have my missing comments restored! It's Mistress MJ who should be serving him!

Long live Eroswings!

Long live Mr. Nude Infomaniac!

And long live Infomaniac Bitches!

Oh, and honey? They’re ALL single.

1. EROSWINGS:








2. MICHAEL GUY:







3. AYEM8Y (MEAN DIRTY PIRATE):

Note: If you get tired of looking at hot Infomaniac bitches, why not head on over to IVD’s place where he’s hosting MJ’s Calamitous Comment Compo Caper. And just in case Infomaniac disappears again and I need to start up a new blog, IVD’s also hosting the Name MJ’s New Blog Competition. Although there’s no point in entering as I rather like Kapitano’s choice … MJ's Bloggy-woggy.

Thank You, Infomaniac Bitches!

We are gathered here today to celebrate our blogging community.

That’s YOU, the amazing, incredible INFOMANIAC BITCHES!

Mistress MJ is so thrilled to be back that she invites you to join the Infomaniac conga line!...



Bitches, without your help and support, I wouldn’t be here today. FACT.

For those three or four people who don’t know what transpired over the weekend, read on.

It all started early Saturday morning. Mistress MJ awoke to check her Gmail only to find this message… "Account temporarily disabled.” That’s right, bitches. My Gmail account was closed! Meanwhile, many of you were attempting to contact me via email.

Moving along to check if you bitches had left any snarky comments overnight, I clicked on my blog only to find that Google had removed Infomaniac!

Remember…Mistress MJ had not had her caffeine at this point and was completely discombobulated by this sudden turn of events.

I don’t have the foggiest what happened next but before you know it, Mago was writing passionate pleas for my return and raging against the machine that had taken me.

And over at Eroswings' blog, well, Eros was leading a campaign to gather bloggers together to demand that Google “Free MJ!”

As I tried to make sense of it all and to try and contact Google, Infomaniac Bitches were gathering strength, one by one, in the crusade to release my blog from the clutches of Google.

Post after post popped up all over our community.

I thought my disappearance might cause a tear or two here and there but I never expected the overwhelming response that followed.

I didn’t dare give up hope for Infomaniac’s return what with you Bitches rallying ‘round.

You are a FORCE to be reckoned with, bitches!

Here is a list of Infomaniac Bitches who either posted about Infomaniac’s disappearance or about Infomaniac’s return. They are in no particular order except we MUST lead the way with EROS and MAGO who are responsible for a great deal of exhaustive legwork and getting the ball rolling. Your efforts were no less than HEROIC.

In fact, MISTRESS ASKS YOU ALL TO PAUSE RIGHT THIS INSTANT AND GIVE A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO EROS AND MAGO!





Eros started off with Help Restore Infomaniac. A link on that post led to his appeal on a Google Help Forum. Let’s take a look at Eros’ appeal, as follows:

The blog called Infomaniac (http://theinfomaniac.blogspot.com/) has been deleted overnight by Blogger. The owner did not receive a warning and they did not they violate any of the Terms of Service. The owner did not delete the blog and is unable to sign into Gmail or Blogger to report this problem, so I am making an appeal on the owner's behalf.

Please help resolve this issue, as there are many fellow bloggers who are daily readers of Infomaniac for entertainment, discussions, and to exchange ideas and share laughter. Infomaniac is one of the few places left where the spirit of blogging and expressing ideas and sharing humor is still alive and well. Infomaniac is the meeting place, the home of an international community of bloggers and many, different individuals who come together to share their lives, their ideas, and their sense of humor and helpful advice.

Please help restore Infomaniac and keep the blogging community alive. Your assistance is greatly needed and appreciated in resolving this problem. Thank you.

And that’s not all, bitches. Eros has posted again here about my comments that have gone missing and he’s started yet another Google Help Forum to attempt to restore them!

Mago (who booted Google to the curb after this fiasco and joined Wordpress) started by asking What Is Going On? and he continued on with Snow White. And then a post on the disappearance of Leni Qinan’s blog which he titled No More Fun: Next Blog Gone. Then on to cover both Leni and Mistress MJ in his post entitled MJ, Leni Qinan. As you can see, by this time Mago is really fired up and posts Google Cleans Its Web followed soon by Aftermath. But wait, there’s more! His latest post is Google Doesn’t Get It. I’m losing count of his posts! The man is passionate!

Roses pleaded to Bring Back Infomaniac AND she created a Facebook page for the cause to Restore Infomaniac to Blogger!

Michael Guy posted a solidarity statement on his blog. The statement is no longer up since I’ve been freed but you can read it here…


(click to enlarge)

Inexplicable DeVice (IVD) gave us Missing MJ and then prematurely ejaculated with Name MJ’s New Blog Competition when I suggested I might need to start a new blog if the old one didn’t appear. Soon after that post, my blog returned but the contest was in full swing by then. I encourage you to participate just in case I should ever need to start up a new blog with a new name.

Savannah quickly rallied the troops with Something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear. Troubled by my disappearing comments conundrum, Savannah gave us Just when you think it’s safe to go back in the water. Savannah: a woman who gives us soothing southern comfort combined with grit. In other words, a steel magnolia.

Donn, who is having problems of his own with Blogger, wrote the impassioned MJ @ INFOMANIAC SHUT DOWN?! Thank you, my long-time Infomaniac Bitch, friend and fellow Canuck. And may I take this opportunity to say how pleased I am that you’re blogging again?

Chris, another fellow Canuck and Donn’s best buddy, expressed his outrage with Orwellian or what? And The Death of Free Speech. Chris is recovering from a stroke and yet took the time to support me. And yet there I was letting a little flu bug get me down. Thank you doesn’t quite cut it but thank you, Chris.

That saucy Mean Dirty Pirate “Ayem8y” took time out from filming Truck Stop Trollop to post WTF? What Happened to Infomaniac?

Meanwhile, Down Under, Princess sounded the alarm with Where The Hell Is Infomaniac? followed by I Am Princess and I’m an Infomaniac Bitch!

Mr. Peenee combined a plea for my return with a pic of a humpy guy in Brink Back Infomaniac!

Jason did Mistress MJ’s bidding by alerting the readers of The Hair Hall of Fame with We interrupt this previously recorded hair. Jason takes orders very well.

Beast never fails to make his Mistress laugh and SLINGS AND ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE 2 was no exception. In this post, Beast uttered the nicest thing he’s ever said to me which was … “Hands off Miss MJ fat cat Mr Google , she may be a smutty old bag , but she is OUR smutty old bag AND WE WANT HER SCRUBBED AND SENT TO OUR ROOM.”

Miss Scarlet was away when all this kerfuffle took place but she quickly responded with Checking In: MJ IS BACK!!!!!

With Free To Good Home! XL suggested that without my blog I was homeless and staying in his kitchen …

(what Mistress MJ looks like in XL's fevered imagination)


Mitzi’s Welcome Back MJ! was a gift of dirty old men! That Mitzi…always thinking of others.

Posted after my return, Kevin’s She’s Alive! SHE’S ALIVE! contains a statement Kevin wrote regarding Google that I find fitting…”Perhaps they actually took the time to read one of the many blogs they quarantine.” Touché, Kevin.

And last but certainly not least…

Tom railed against the removal of Infomaniac AND Leni Qinan’s blog with Blogger Censorship!

YOU MAY TAKE A MOMENT TO APPLAUD THE ABOVE BITCHES




I would also like to thank the following bitches who either contacted Google to express their outrage or wrote comments somewhere on various blogs (including mine, once it was returned) to express their dismay at my situation or simply to welcome me back and/or composed email messages to me: (I’m not linking at this point because I’m running out of steam)…

and several people I don’t even know

If I left anyone’s name off the list, please let me know and I’ll add it after the fact.

I would also like to thank Old Knudsen, Tazzy and Piggy, and Vicus … bitches who all expressed, in their own fashion, that the world was better off without such filth. I know that is your way of showing me love.

THANK YOU, INFOMANIAC BITCHES! YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE AND POWERFUL COMMUNITY!

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!



Note: This post is dedicated to long-time Infomaniac Bitch KAZ in Manchester. If KAZ wasn’t too weak to blog at the moment from coping with ovarian cancer, you can be sure she’d be leading the conga line.

KAZ

More important than my blog is the fact that KAZ has ovarian cancer and needs our support and kind wishes right now.



Please visit her when you can.

We love you, KAZ.

Meanwhile, in the Infomaniac Waiting Room

Mistress MJ is taking a brief time-out.


[via]

Apologies for the delay while we try to get our life in order (it's extremely busy around here) and to recuperate from the massive headache that is losing our Gmail account and our blog.

Thankfully, both the Gmail account AND the blog have been restored but the “comment conundrum” remains.

Leni Qinan, who also temporarily lost her blog, has been experiencing the same problem.

Both Leni and I leave comments on your blogs but later our comments disappear.

Not only that… my comments on ALL your old posts (for eternity) have been wiped out.

It’s as if I never existed.

Many of you wrote wonderful, heartfelt posts either concerned over the lost of Infomaniac or rejoicing upon its return.

I left comments on your posts and in most cases my comments disappeared after the fact. You must have been waiting to hear from me, never seen a comment from me and thought, “what an ungrateful bitch.”

Mistress MJ is in a mood and needs time away from blogging. But just for a few days.

You will find her hunched over a houseboy or a cocktail or a houseboy and a cocktail.

Or perhaps just curled up on Beast’s fireside rug waiting for the madness to end.

Please help yourself to a magazine at the reception desk.

Our waiting staff will be with you shortly should you wish to order a beverage.

Note: I most certainly will post that Thank You post to all of you soon but I need a wee break. No, not a pee break. A wee break. I am deeply thankful to ALL of you.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Welcome Back, Bitches!

Infomaniac is back!



Tonight I received the following message from Google…

“We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The issue you described should now be resolved.”

I like to think that it was the power of all of you bitches who resolved this issue…coming together as you did to “Free MJ!” and “Save Infomaniac!”

I shall post a proper thanks to you in a day or two.

Unfortunately, Mistress MJ is ill and must retreat back to her boudoir.

*snaps fingers*

Official Pillow Fluffer XL and Official Massuer Mago please report for duty!

Note: To those lovely folk who emailed me, please understand that I did not reply because not only was my blog removed, my Gmail account was disabled as well.

I’m looking forward to visiting everyone soon but I’m not up to it at the moment.

Boxer, fetch the vodka fountain and you can start the party without me!

Men With Balls



More than the The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling (axed after 200 years…thanks to health and safety killjoys).

More than The World Bog Snorkelling Championship.

More than The Pantomime Horse Grand National.

And yes, even more thanThe World Black Pudding Throwing Championship

Mistress MJ’s favourite sporting event runs from June 11th to July 11th, 2010.



Please keep the chit chat to a minimum as Mistress MJ is watching the World Cup.


Divertimento: Let’s all hear it for Shirtless Italian Footballers.

Gay? WAY Over 31?

Earlier today, we invited you to join us for an exclusive dancing party for gays over 31.

Ask the Cool Cookie asked, “And what about the dance for those way over 31?”



Enjoy an evening of gay house party dancing!

*house provided by one of our own Infomaniac bitches who wishes to remain anonymous based on his appalling lack of décor sense*

Random Chick asked, “Can I come even though I'm not gay? I have a lot of gay friends. Does that count?”

Fag hags are welcome!...

Oh wait. Isn’t that Mr. Peenee in the foreground?

Gay? Over 31?

A Little Behind

Mistress MJ is a little behind in her blogging…


[via]

Please bare with us.

As you can see, nothing is happening chez Infomaniac but Miss Scarlet has revealed that for her next post she will, and I quote, “reveal my little behind.”

Apparently, she is giving it a good buffing as we speak.

UPDATE: Miss Scarlet’s little behind!...

Mr. Nude Infomaniac – Casting Call

We’re holding a casting call for our annual Mr. Nude Infomaniac pageant!

Damien has served his Mistress well and has been a glowing representative of this blog.

But now it’s time to hand over his tiara and sceptre to another deserving bitch.

This contest is open to all the Men of Infomaniac, including those who weren’t present when the Men of Infomaniac post was compiled.

Simply email Mistress MJ a photo of yourself nude or scantily-clad.

And tell us why you deserve to be Mr. Nude Infomaniac 2010.

We will post all your photos at a future date and all Infomaniac’s bitches will be granted a vote on the new Mr. Nude Infomaniac.

Hop to it, bitches! Submit those nudie pics!


Note: Mistress MJ is taking a brief hiatus from posting so this gives you all next week to submit your photos.
