If you're like me, you're pretty tired of all the shameless traffic-building gimmicks that I employ on this blog to attract more readers. If you wanted to be bombarded by ads and other annoying crap, you'd be using MySpace, right? Right.
So I'm working on a little side project that will hopefully allow me to continue to blatantly shill for this site and some of my other favorite humor blogs while maintaining the pristine snarky integrity of the Mattress Police. The project is a little something called humor-blogs.com.
humor-blogs.com is sort of a running "best-of" collection from several funny blogs. The idea is for humor-blogs.com to be sort of a gateway site that acts as an introduction to these blogs. Initially these four blogs are participating:
If you have a funny blog that you would like added to the humor-blogs.com sidebar, let me know by posting a comment here or emailing me at diesel -at- mattresspolice.com. I'll be happy to include your blog; all I ask is that you add a link to humor-blogs.com from your site in return. Your link to humor-blogs.com can be a simple text link or you can use one of the banners on the site.
I'm going to try to be pretty liberal (despite my notorious conservatism) in what blogs I add. However, I reserve the right to reject blogs that are gratuitously offensive or just not funny in any sense of the word. And let's try to keep it PG-13, if not PG.
Let me know if you would also like excerpts from your blog posts to appear on the main humor-blogs.com page. I will gradually be adding more blogs to the page feed over the next few weeks, and who knows? Fate might smile on you.
And of course you are welcome to link to humor-blogs.com if you have a "serious" site as well. Think of the kittens, won't you?

I would love to join! I added the banner already too!
http://radioactiveliberty.com/
Got the banner just below Beast Media blogroll, right sidebar.
I added your banner to http://www.hammeruncut.com and sent you an email. Good luck with the site.
here's a link to my banner. Adjust it as needed.
Excellent. I will get you all added today.
If you have a banner, give me the link (or email it). Otherwise, I'll make a banner for you. Let me know if you'd prefer that I just use a text link (if you don't trust my banner-making abilities).
Hammer - I haven't gotten your email. rkroese at clearwire.net or diesel at mattresspolice.com should both work.
the clearwire address kept bouncing messages back. I don't have a banner. I trust you. It feels so uncomfortable to say that to another guy!
If I started blogging a lot about the Democratic Congress, would that count as a humor blog?
Best,
-wolfe
Jaesoreal - That address should work. It just forwards to my mattresspolice account though, so you might as well use that. I've done a basic banner for you; I'll upload it shortly.
Wolfe - Blogging about any congress would probably qualify. You definitely have some funny stuff but I don't think your blog quite qualifies. I'll let you know if I ever start a site called smart-people-who-make-sense-and-
are-occasionally-funny.com.
who cares about the kittens, won't someone please think of proper English? humour, dear ethnocentric Diesel, humour.
Anonymous - Didn't we fight a revolution to leave u behind? I suppose you still write cheques and browse full colour catalogues as well.
Also, I'm not ethnocentric. I'm Ameri-centric. "American" isn't an ethnicity.
Congrats on getting this setup, looks like it will be a great resource for both authors and readers!
"American" isn't an ethnicity.
Not yet, but damn it we're working on it! Well, not me really...but I'm sure someone is.
I'd say touche but I don't have a squiggly thing above the e button on my laptop and I don't want to look like I can't use proper English n'all.
Anita - Thanks! Your banner has been added....
Drive-By - And I'm sure they're making tremendous progress.
Anonymous - Well, you could just call me a touche bag....
True, any congress would likely qualify. But new material ('95, 2007)is usually funnier. And I agree, my blog doesn't qualify.
Now if I ever get an RSS stream of my comments to other people's blogs, I'll be sure and let you know so you can launch www.faintly-funny-comments.com.
Cheers,
-wolfe
I think of the kittens, but I just can't be bothered to not masturbate several times a day. Besides, isn't there a cat overpopulation anyway?
Am I funny? I'd like to be, but I find myself mildly amusing at best, in a sort of whimsical, English-major way.
I have Dave Barry dreams ... but the reality is more Erma Bombeck, if not Ethel Mertz.
Wolfe - That sounds like a winner.
Malnurtured Snay - Carry on then.
Poppy - I think you're funny. That's all that matters.
I will be happy to add one of your banners to my sidebar, but you don't need to include me. I can't do PG-13. Not usually, anyway. And I don't think you should make an exception for me, that's wouldn't be fair to others. But I will be happy to link y'all :)
Thanks for leaving your comment on my blog. I couldn't resist checking yours out. VERY cool! I'll certainly be back for more. Cheers.
Fab - I already stretched the rules for Hammer. I split the lists into "mature" blogs and "immature" blogs. Yours should really be under both, of course. Anyway, no list of funny blogs would be complete without yours.
Chrissy121875 - Thanks for stopping by! You remind me a little of a friend of mine, THX-1138.
Love that banner! How do I get one? Boy I miss a few days and all kinds of things are happening.
You guys should check out these guys at www.jtcinc.blogspot.com - largely workplace based content, but some of it is funny stuff. Couple of guys I know who populate it during their workday to get away from their crappy jobs.
