Dateline: Atlanta
Local blogging celebrity Jim Peacock has been profiled in the Atlanta Journal Constitution (annoying registration required, yech). Friends and family admit to being underwhelmed by his stark rise to fame. Mr.Peacock was unavailable for comment but his spokesman Bear Peacock released a tersely worded statement "He's pukey in the toilet. Can I have ice cream?"
New visitors to the site "Snooze Button Dreams" have been advised to examine the right sidebar where sections such as "People Love This Place / Best of Snooze Button Dreams" and "Blogrolls etc / Constant Reads" will expand to show them lists of hyperlinks to some of Mr.Peacock's favorite posts and favorite other bloggers.
This reporter was furnished with a short list of links to items mentioned in the article:

In closing, please do not look at the bageldonut. Seriously, it's nasty.
He stole my Walter Mitty punchline!
Nice story, babe. It really makes you sound like a clever, well-versed, well-thought of blogger.
The bribe worked, eh? :)
Just kidding-you know you're my man. Even if I didn't get a mention in your article. It's ok. I know where I stand now. My kidneys are going to Simon and RP. Hey-we all have a price.
Yay! That's actually quite an insightful read although I disagree with the statement that you are occasionally purile ... frequently yes, but not occasionally ;-)
That's okay, Helen. I shouldn't need your kidneys anyway. I'm more interested in other body parts. >;-)
Robert, those were my thoughts exactly! I mean how many posts about pooping do I have to put up there before I'm truly recognized for the puerile hack that I am?
Why don't you two love birds get a room......
:-P
Nice article.:-)
That was an annoying registration process, but was totally worth it. Yay, Jim!!! Great article!
I think you deserve the recognition.
Oh, and Helen, thanks for the kidney. I am very grateful.
"blog that he actually gets paid money to write"
That's odd... the words LOOK like English, but I don't understand that phrase
Congratulations, Jim! I'm so proud of you. You're representin', babaaay. Oh, and I'll tell the AJC that I'm really not interested in a subscription unless and until you get a byline.
It's true, Harvey! And he got it without Wonkettish ass sex stories too. There is hope for us all.
It took a while to load but OH. Those babies are so darned adorable!
Truly amazing...will wonders never cease!!
How did you get the kids to stand still like that for 3 seconds?
It's a great article; it makes you sound, well, almost normal.
And I've got a kidney coming to me! So it's a real win-win thing...
Emma - Yeah, they took their horns off and everything for the photographer!
mitzi - let's hope not!
Simon, the secret is in the bribery. In this case it was scooters.
Ah! Jim! You're famous! Some guy commented on my blog thusly:
"So, I get Google News Alerts for "Ayn Rand." Today their was a link to an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution (http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/gwinnett/0804/17blogger.html) about a guy who's a blogger. In the article it states, "Since he started posting, other bloggers have turned him on to objectivism and the writing of Ayn Rand." So, I went to the blogger guy's website: (www.snoozebuttondreams.com) and I looked over on the side where he had other blogs listed and yours was among them! Very cool! Maybe this will increase traffic flow to your site!"
I guess he doesn't know that *I* take partial credit for turning you on to Rand! Sorry haven't been keeping up with the blog. That will have to change.
Congrats! We are in esteemed company indeed.
Congrats Jim! I wish I could actually see the article..but it won't let me register from out of the country....
That's right, Don. You were the first objectivist I had regular discourse with. That seems like forever ago, doesn't it?
Rachel Ann - That disparity has been corrected. Check your mail. ;-)
