Guest Star Tuesday
“Today is Tuesday. You know what that means. We’re gonna have a special guest..”
That’s what they used to sing once a week on the old Mickey Mouse Club show. Not the Britney, JT, and Cristina Mickey Mouse Club. The old, old, 1950’s Mickey Mouse Club. I have always been a junkie for old TV shows. Black and white old. I could watch “I Love Lucy,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” on an endless loop and never get bored.
When I was young, I used to watch reruns of “The Mickey Mouse Club” on the Disney Channel, and I remember that Tuesday was always “Guest Star Day.” The Mouseketeers would put on their Sunday mouske-best and introduce their celebrity guest. For the life of me, I can not remember a single guest. Maybe because I was watching the show 30 years later, and had no idea who they were dragging through the starred door anyway.
I’ve been looking since September for a regular feature for the final year of the blog. I have started doing the HNT thing, but everybody and their brother does that. I wanted something a little unique. Like Hump Day during Year 3, and the T-Shirt Project from Year 2 (and 3 AND 4 and…).
Taking a cue from the Mouseketeers, I decided feature a guest blogger once a week. So, for the duration, Tuesdays will be Guest Star Day on the blog. The guests can write about anything they want, as long as it can fit into one of the categories on my sidebar. It’s kind of like when Johnny Carson has guest hosts. They could do their own thing with their own guests, just in his format.
Hopefully it will expose my readers to other blogs that they might want to follow after I’m gone, or it might simply give ya’ll a breather from my ramblings.
