The Monday Melee has received a bit of a makeover for its first anniversary, and with it, come a set of new Melee questions. Feel free to continue to use the original list, or the new one… whichever strikes your fancy! Below is the new version. If you scroll down, you’ll find the steps to join as well as the original Melee questions. Take a badge to your site, and link it to fracas. If you’re not on the list below, post to tell me you’ve done the Melee and I’ll add you to the linkage list.
To find out how you too, can participate in The Monday Melee, please read the main Monday Melee page, grab The Monday Melee logo (and view the participant list too).
The Monday Melee for another year…
The first edition of The Monday Melee was published on January 29, 2007. In meme years, that’s a long time. Fracas has decided that just like your average celebrity chooses to opt for a face-lift when they find a bit of sagging and bagging, so too will the Melee go under the knife.I’ve switched up the five m-words and given a make-over to The Monday Melee. Please, take her on a date and let her know you find her attractive again. Here are the new questions for 2008.
1. The Magnificent: Name someone you absolutely adore, and tell us why.
2. The Muddy: Tell us something about life you just don’t “get”.
3. The Magnetic: Name something or someone good (or bad) you’re drawn to and you just can’t help it. Tell us if you want to change this or not.
4. The Mainstay: Who or what is something you just can’t live without? Why?
5. The Masquerade: Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t already know.
6. The Mettle: Tell us about a time you showed courage in yourself, or tell us what you wish you had the courage to do.
* The Monday Melee is a Fracas project. Participants in The Monday Melee should credit Fracas blog and provide a link back to fracas http://fracas.wordpress.com

Monday, January 29, 2007 marks the first edition of The Monday Melee*, a feature that you too, can participate in on your blog.
According to Roget’s Thesauraus, a melee is anything from a fight or a brawl (or hmm.. a fracas) to a list of odds and ends, a potpourri or assortment of something, a mixture, a variety… even a salad.
So each Monday, I and those participating, will use the following and appropriately assorted prompts, to create a post of interest.
The Monday Melee
1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
Step #1
Create a “The Monday Melee” page or a post at your blog using the six “Melees” above.
Step #2
Come back here and leave a comment to inform me that you intend to take part and want to be on the list of participants, and I will add you to the list and then link to your “The Monday Melee” page at your blog.
Step #3
Link your “The Monday Melee” feature back to http://fracas.wordpress.com
(The Monday Melee isn’t intended to be a meme, but rather a continuing feature connecting bloggers. Please be polite and credit and link to this blog, since this blogger is the individual attempting to maintain the connecting list.)
Step #4
You may save the image below and link it back to fracas.
Step #5
Participate to your best, each Monday. It’s a great way to give your brain a “kick-start” at the beginning of each new week and you’ll make new blogger friends. If you feel so inspired, create an additional post based on one of your six answers.

Welcome JerseyChick. I saw your link at Rootie’s and was planning to hike (well, I can pretend I hiked, really I just sat on my fanny) over to your blog to post a hi.
The link you posted is just great! Now I have to find a chance to read everyone’s lists.
Come by anytime and comment anywhere you like, the more the merrier and any friend of Rootie’s is always welcome here!

Comment by sauer kraut February 13, 2007 @ 9:35 amAnother late comer! Looking forward to Monday!

Comment by kimberleyanne February 17, 2007 @ 11:31 amkimberleyanne - I shall add you for sure then!
sauer kraut - did I get you the info you needed? I think I recall leaving a post at your blog. At any rate… the linking is easy, especially in WordPress. All you have to do is type a url (address) into your post and WordPress automatically turns it into a link.
So if you type in:
http://fracas.wordpress.com/read/the-monday-melee/
you see it makes a link of the address.
If you want to be fancy and make your link look like something else, you can type out (using the “code’ instead of “visual” option in WordPress) [a href="http://fracas.wordpress.com/read/the-monday-melee/']The Monday Melee[/a] (only use the for the ] and it will turn your link into this:
The Monday Melee
That’s it! Easy.
I’ll check your blog tomorrow for a Monday Melee post and link it to the participant list.

Comment by hazel8500 April 3, 2007 @ 12:14 amHi to you too! I was going to leave a comment to your Melee post but you have comments off. That fairy hoax is totally incredible! It made me recall how desperately my daughter believed in the tooth fairy when she was 6.
It’s a long story… lol.
Comment by fracas April 3, 2007 @ 12:22 amOh yeah the comments. Am currently fighting a troll invasion. I should have those comments back up shortly. Grrr!
I got that fairy autopsy off of raincoaster, she is the go to gal for weird and obscure.
hey btw, thanks to Monday Melee Monday is no longer the worst day of the week! Way to turn a negative into a positive. Hmm I think I should do an entry on this…

Comment by chattiekat June 5, 2007 @ 12:41 amI used your meme, lifting it from Blogitude, but because I didn’t really pay that much attention, I didn’t originally attribute it to you. I could stand to read more deeply into things before jumping on them.

Pingback by The Wednesday Wallop « Holocaust Labs June 6, 2007 @ 6:48 amI’ll play! do we use the same questions every monday?
Comment by Doktor Holocaust June 6, 2007 @ 6:51 amsamhuh - You didn’t leave a link or I’d have added you to the main list of participants and that way other Melee’ers could have a chance to check out yours too. So post another one on another Monday, throw my link into it and then I’ll see it in my stats and be able to add your link to the list! (Edit - I think I found you via someone else who linked… and have added you to the list… providing you’re the Samuel from no school, just learning. If that’s not you, then just ignore this edit.)
Comment by fracas June 6, 2007 @ 11:33 amDoktor H -Generally people use the same questions but occasionally someone puts a different spin on it - like answering the questions all about the same thing, or answering all the questions from only the “I like or love” viewpoint.
The point of the Melee was to have these questions that mean on Monday when we least want to think too hard to come up with a post, all we have to do is answer the questions and voila - a post. Because people have different experiences from day to day, the answers are different based on your mood, things that happened all week, etc.
I don’t lurk with a ruler to whack knuckles if people play with it a bit, just like to keep the link thing going and keep a participant list going too, so we can check each other out, etc.
So I added you already! I like your alternate title.. welcome!
I think I did this right…maybe.

Pingback by Army of EAM Changing Culture as We Know It, One Blog At A Time. « hazel8500 August 18, 2007 @ 3:34 pmHi Fracas, I out and out stole this Monday Melee format, except it isn’t weekly, and um there’s no cool word list, so maybe not exactly out and out, but I did take your idea. True to form I am a thieving amateur blogger; according to Andrew Keen, I’m worse than the Nazi’s. So anyway I’ve begun a participant list for The Army of EAM (Enthusiastic Amateur Monkey’s) I really hope you take a look, wish me luck and if you’ve got any self made content you feel like crowing about, or if you feel like crowing in general, come on by. At the moment I only have one participant and uh she’s me so, let me know if its lame or offensive and I’ll scrap it. But I hope you likey!
