1000 bottles of beer posts on the wall…

A while back, I asked what you think I should include in my 1000th post, and though she is my sis… that wasn’t the reason I chose her answer as the best idea. It really was the best idea.

Okay, okay… she did have a bit of inside information about my little venture, so maybe it wasn’t really all that fair after all.

When I started this blog, I thought it would be something different than what it is. Originally intended to be a blog that gave away free images of very benign things like sunsets and old wooden doors and things I’d expected people to want to take and use to make graphics or blog themes. I soon learned that my images were ok, but not nearly as good as what’s out there. Free or not, people didn’t come for the images, they ended up here because, well…

I’m an arse.

A fracarse, as I would come to be dubbed, by someone who might protest at being called an old fraccer… but he is one nevertheless.

A sexy bra photo

And so, I stopped adding those images and resigned my arseness to posting about really great shoes and sexy bras. I redeemed myself about posting so many bras-worn-by-fake-boobs by posting a link to a site where you can see real, live, regular bare boobs that everyday women have. I settled into writing what I think about pop culture, celebrities, daily nonsense and occasionally, a meaningful issue. I found sisters I didn’t know I had, won a contest or two, met up with a traveling bra, and learned that British men can be sexy after all.

I posted pictures of my cold, hard nipples, I posted wet t-shirt photos.

The hits added up and for some reason, people seemed to enjoy visiting here. I began to see that I could do more, and so I began planning for and promising something wicked…

Today, I am able to use this 1000th post to share with every fraccer who’s ever given me the pleasure of their visit, a place I’d like to think of as the party house on the block.

It’s called…

Fraccers 

The welcome mat is on the stoop, the fridge is full of beer, I think there’s a lady in a cake somewhere… if you think he’ll remember that I asked him to take care of that (okay, I didn’t… I lied and just like to mess with him) and I’ve arranged for a certain gang of fellas to provide the entertainment.

The preview of the musical entertainment is below.

What can I say? My name is Fracas and I am Canadian!

I’ve been busy getting the party house together and though it’s open… there are still several surprises yet to come over there.

I haven’t been here as much as I’d have liked to be, but that will stop now. Fracas the blog isn’t going anywhere.

Think of it this way:

Fracas is best described as your family room during a party. Sometimes, the folks get silly and there’s usually something to watch.

Fraccers though… Fraccers is like the rest of the house.

Head over to the house-warming party… just please don’t throw up on the rugs!

Wasn’t That a Party

(The Irish Rovers)

Could’ve been the whiskey
Might’ve been the gin
Could’ve been the three or four six-packs,
I don’t know, but look at the mess I’m in
My head is like a football
I think I’m going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn’t that a party

Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat
They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
Long about then every-thing went black
Wasn’t that a party

I’m sure it’s just my memory
Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cutting down my neighbour’s tree

Could’ve been the whiskey
Might’ve been the gin
Could’ve been the three or four six-packs,
I don’t know, but look at the mess I’m in
My head is like a football
I think I’m going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn’t that a party

Billy, Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
They were sittin’ in my back yard, blowing on a sireen
From somebody’s police car

So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those thirty days
To re-cover from the party

Could’ve been the whiskey
Might’ve been the gin
Could’ve been the three or four six-packs,
I don’t know, but look at the mess I’m in
My head is like a football
I think I’m going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn’t that a party

Thank you for being part of my first 1000 posts!

Congratulations for the 1000th Post, and it looks you have worked day in and day out to bring this post up as well as the new website. It has always been wonderful here, and I wish you all the best for everything that you do.:)

Has anyone mentioned the time and place of the SaskBlogs BBQ to you?
http://www.saskblogs.ca/2008/06/sunday-july-27-in-regina/

We could use another blogger with more than 1000 posts, to show up :-)

Comment by saskboy

Many many many congrats Fracarse ……. [a real achievement for someone of soooo few words - tee hee]

In preparation for this tremendous occasion I have managed to get you a present that you’ll actually like …… [there was an ....... incident unfortunately - she probably won't notice if she drinks enough beer] …… it’ll be in the post tomorrow.

Here, Fraccy my sweet, have a beer and one of the chocolate eclairs I’ve brought – yummy.

Comment by Daddy Papersurfer

……….. another beer?

Comment by Daddy Papersurfer

CONGRATULATIONS on WoW…one THOUSAND posts?!?! I am in awe! Sooooooooo glad we hooked up in the blogosphere Fracas and soon in real life! Woo-hoooooo! …..got any champagne?
xoxoxo

Comment by Olga, the Traveling Bra

……… more beer?

Comment by Daddy Papersurfer

Congratubloodylations!

Did you really start this blog on October 28th? If so that is spooky! Cos that’s when I started mine.

I think I might post myself with Olga and have a pint or seven with you!

Comment by Claire

aussiebabe – Mwah! You’re sweet.

scratchbags – I have way more to come over there but I thought the fracas blog had waited long enough for the post so was determined to get enough done to go live.

saskboy – Not sure if that can work for me on such short notice. Sheesh I’ve been out of the loop for a bit, haven’t I?

Daddy Papersurfer – A present? Oh.. it’s probably on the floor and I’ll have to pick it up for you, right? LOL

Daddy Papersurfer – Shh. Don’t tell anyone but I don’t actually drink beer. It interferes with my margarita drinking.

Olga – Ok.. champagne works too. I’m glad we “hooked” up too Olga. {{DP won’t get that bra/hook thing.. or maybe it’s the beer?}}

Maplesurfer – Is that you? I think you must be Maplesurfer since DP would never try get a lass tipsy, now… would he?

Comment by fracas

Claire – The first post on the board is dated October 6, 2006, but I’d actually set up this blog and another one in September. I didn’t know what I wanted to really do with it though, so I don’t really have a firm blog anniversary date like others. I guess that’s why I’ve used hits and posts as my opportunities to make a fuss.

Sniff… I’m like that orphan kid who doesn’t really know their real birthday….

lol

Comment by fracas

Blogsphere would be a duller place without you dear sis :-)

So glad to have met you and shared a lot of the 1000 posts … long may you continue

I have posted something for you over at 70s land xx

Comment by 70steen

I’m good with bras …….. well, I used to be ……margarita? ……. or two?

Comment by Daddy Papersurfer

It’s only short notice because you’ve been out of the loop :-P
If you can’t bring food, you can still stop by sometime after 1:00, there should be people lingering for a couple hours at least.

Comment by saskboy

70steen – Aww.. thank you sis. I’m off to see what it is…

DP – I know you may think you’re still good with bras, but if you asked one (like Olga, say…) they’d probably say you’re a little off the fence in that department. I think bras (and women alike) prefer to be woo’d and spoiled as opposed to being filled with rubble and made to work hard.

But yes.. it’s about time you offered me something other than beer. Sheesh.

saskboy – LOL, that’s what I meant. Had I not been tied up this past month or so with sick children, giving myself a hernia and trying to have a new blogchild, I’d probably have noticed what’s going on. I’m not so sure a trip to Regina is in the cards for this weekend.

Comment by fracas

Congratualations my friend.
Fracarse??
I don’t think so
FracAss is more like it.
And to think I’ve been here through it all,,,,
Good job.
C U L8r
You know where,,,,,,,

Comment by Dusty Roads

Dusty – I think fracarse is the British pronunciation. That one has kind of ’stuck’ here because, well… a certain British fellow hangs out here more often than you do. (Hint, hint)

I admit it here to everyone… I’ve been dubbed that (Y) word (by YOU I believe) for about 8 years now. Gee. Where has the time gone?

Comment by fracas

Hair of the dog? …….. nice greasy fry-up?

Comment by Daddy Papersurfer

Yuck.. I really don’t like dog hair… and since I can’t vacuum anymore, it would be rather annoying with hair all over the house.

Are you sure you weren’t finishing everyone’s beer? I did think it strange that all the bottles I cleaned up had nary a drop left…

Comment by fracas

you did it! congrats! I have nothing but admiration…and I am jealous of your new shoes tehe….

Comment by sylvied

(____Y____)

Doesn’t time fly?

Proud to call you friend, friend

Comment by Dusty Roads

Oh, I see you’re up by Saskatoon, I had thought Regina for some reason.

Comment by saskboy

sylvied – They were lovely shoes until DP got me tipsy.

Dusty – It does indeed, and ditto.

saskboy – How did it go?

Comment by fracas

[...] recent mention in an RSS feed I follow celebrated a blogger who had crossed the 1000 post mark. This got me thinking about my own run on the amusement park log [...]
