Because Everyone Loves Carnies...

Carnival of Crazy FAQ What is the Carnival of Crazy? See below! What qualifies as crazy? It's subjective but usually it's the odd news items or things that make you laugh, shake your head or give it that puppy dog slight tilt... like when they hear high-pitched noices, etc. I submitted an item and it wasn't published! That's not a question but I'll comment on it - It wasn't crazy enough. It wasn't funny. You're spamming the carnival entry submission forms. Stop it and send something crazy. You're a jerk! Can I host the Carnival of Crazy? Why yes you can! Just email me with your request and I'll pencil you in. I'm hosting the Carnival of Crazy so what now? Go crazy. You can find all the items you want to include yourself. You can publish any item submitted or not. If they aren't crazy, don't publish them. If you don't like the content, don't publish them. I have had weeks were I tossed almost everything and went out on my own and gathered up some material. People love sending marginal posts to every carnival they can get away with. And lots of times those same folks won't even hit you back with a link or thanks. And you called me the jerk? Yay! It's hosted! Where the heck is the traffic? Hey, we only get a couple hundred hits per day and lots of those are search hits. But we do have a nice group of dedicated readers at FIU. Chances are, if you host a really good Carnival of Crazy, we'll let you know about it and generate as much buzz as we can. Knock yourself out! I love the FIU website. I have no idea why I haven't been to your site yet or blogrolled you. Can I do it now? We forgive you and of course you can! Original Announcement: File it Under presents the newest carnival to hit the blogosphere, On bi-monthly basis, we'll bring you some of the craziest things we come across. From news, blog entries or current events. We'll also be accepting submissions from our readers, as well. Please email your crazy finds to carnivalofcrazy@gmail.com and they'll be eligible for our debut posting. Submissions can be humor-based crazy or serious/outrageous crazy. All types of crazy accepted. There are three main categories: Moonbat crazy - no shortage of this... Domestic crazy - think Hollywood, Tom Cruise, Courtney Love, et al International Crazy - i.e. stories of crazy from abroad This will be a grass roots effort from the beginning so we'll need the help of our neighbors and frequent readers (you know who you are) to get this off the ground. There will be a more formal (and very official-sounding) announcement later, including the deadline for entries and debut for the carnival. In the meantime FIU's executives and Art Director have some projects lined up for completion. Stay tuned... Update: Kim Jong appears to be excited... Another Rob B. creation We are, too... Good examples of crazy items can be found here, here and here.
