Chilihead is hosting a carnival and I'm playing along. And not because I can't think of a blessed thing to blog about. Nosiree. Not me. I'm practically DROWNING in fascinating blogorabilia (it's a word I made up, and no, you don't need shots for it). I'm doing this so that in 100 or 1,000 years when my great-great-great-great grandkids want to know why Mamaw Clem died with her gnarled, unmanicured hands clutching one of those antique laptop computer thingys, they can read the whole, unvarnished truth for their little pointy-headed selves. It's for the progeny, people.
The Ballad of Clemntine Buttercup
Cooooome and listen to the story of a blogger named Clem
Just another Mommy Blogger, there's sure a bunch of them
A couple 'years ago she was playin' with her brain
And on the Internet, the blog it was began
Words, that is. Diatribes and comedy.
Welllll what do you know, Clem's not a household name
Her kinfolk don't know about the blogging game
A couple of nice bloggers stop by once in a while
And leave a comment now and then that makes old Clemmie smile.
Carnivals. Meme-stars.
The blog that started as a brain dump has evolved a little bit
Unfortunately, there ain't a bit of money in it
But that's okay because so much useful stuff was learned
It doesn't really matter that all the dinners now get burned.
Pizza Hut. Kung Pao Village.
Well now it's time to say goodbye to Clem and all her kin.
And she would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of mediocrity.
Redneck that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off.
Y'all come back now, y'hear?

OH MY WORD!! That was just too funny! I loved it! I've read your comments around the blogs, but I'm not sure I've ever been here before. Are all your posts this good?! hahahaha
ROFLMAO. As in, my entire family is wondering WHAT I'm reading that could have me crying and rolling on the floor.
Oh my word am I glad you played along.

I like a person who can communicate in lyrics...
You write, I laugh ...good combination. Blessings.

Clem, you are TOO PRECIOUS! thanks for the laugh, friend.
And this would be why you're on my blogroll, you goof! Love it! My favorite part is the approximate rhyme of "brain" and "began," which I read, "be-gain." Also the mediocrity thing. But ... you are anything but mediocre, you joker, and that was an exact rhyme.
Long live the Clampetts! Woo-hoo, howdy do and yee-haw! Thanks, Clem, for such a great giggle!
Oh, now that is clever!
Hysterical, that is. Belly-cluthin'. Floor rollin'.
I did this the same tune for my about me on myspace. Yours was way better though!
Okay...that was WAY too cute!
Only you could make that up. Classic. Just classic.
this was totally fun! Thanks for the smile!
Oh,I loved The Beverly Hillbillies...Granny, Jethro, Elly Mae and Uncle Jed. I think they would be proud of how you used their song. Well, all except Miss Hathaway, she might not appreciate the humor. :)
Beverly Hillbillies was our favorite show growing up! Talk about creative! How long did it take to come up with that?
Now I know why your family is naked and hungry! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by!

You struck oil with this! Texas tea, that is. Ha ha ha! So creative! I love bloggers like you! I'll be back to read more.

You are one talented, creative gal...I love it.
Ok...you got me. I found myself commenting on other people's blogs about YOUR comments to them! How confusing and absolutely hilarious! I just may have to come back and read some more...
You had me at "blogorabilia"! Clementine, I needed this belly laugh this morning, and I am so glad you were here in my inbox to provide it. I came by to thank you for your kind comment on my blog story post, and found the right dose of medicine (aughter is the best) for my day! How have I not found you before now? I will positively be back to read more!
Have a great day.

Not sure how laughter became aughter up there. Did you ever notice how daughter and laughter are so closely related? Oops. Got sidetracked, but I just hate typos.
:-)

How do I even comment??? What would be good enough after that???
You rule, Clemster.
This is so creative and funny! I'm not even worthy to write in the same blogosphere as you. I stand in awe. Well, actually I'm sitting, but you get my point.
Just for that, I'm adding you to my sidebar of favorite blogs.
Thanks for a hardy laugh.
Yours is one of those blogs mine aspires to be when it grows up.
Wee-doggy, that was good! LOL!!
Very clever!!
OH MY WORD! Did you know laughter makes you live longer?? Will you pleeeeeease be my friend?? I need you. I want to live a long happy life.
ROFLMBO
I'm not a redneck. I'm a hillbilly, and I LOVE your blog!
BRILLIANT!
You are too stinkin' cute. You NEED to have more kids ;)
CLUTCHING this giant stitch in my side! Can hardly breathe from all the laughter. LoveBug is looking at me and asking, "What is it Momma?"
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I feel like I'm a friend of the famous now! (I've been stalking you since you won BooMama's contest on southern excuses.)
This is hilarious! I didn't know we actually needed to have talent to participate.
I LOVE your story! I was ROFLMAO!!
Thanks for stopping by.
I'll be back....
Great post! Thanks for dropping by.
This is just too funny. Very clever my dear. Who knew that rednecks could be so creative?! ;)
oh my lands, that was hilarious!
you are too funny and so sweet for stopping by my blog :) thanks for your comment! i am glad you came by and got to procrastinate on the housework a bit. i am always willing to do what i can in the "mama's against laundry" cause. :)
That might be the best thing I've read all day! Oh! Thanks for answering my question so...cleverly!
Too funny! Thanks for swinging by my blog, I'll sure be back to read yours!!!
OMG, I am laughing my ass off here . . . that was hysterical. I wish BigBob weren't asleep or I would drag him over to the 'puter to read that 'cuz he LOVES the Hillbillies. (He swears they are his former in-laws: Jethro is his former bro-in-law, DUHwayne, Ellie Mae is the former missus, and Granny is his former mother-in-law. Then there's Jed, the former father-in-law. He watches that show and laughs himself sick.)
Just posted my story today . . . c'mon by and "set a spell."
Bahahahahah . . . still laughing here . . ..
That was TOO funny! What's even better is that you're the only other person I've ever come across who wrote their own lyrics to the Beverly Hillbillies!! I wrote lyrics for a friend's birthday once. It was back before the days of making your own card on the computer, but Hallmark stores had a nifty little station where you could plug in your info and print out your very own, personally designed card. Which I promptly did for my dear friend.
I don't remember much of my version. I just know it started out, "Come and listen to a story 'bout a chick named Nan." LOL!
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane and a really great laugh!! :D
