PS. Let's do it again ...

My name is Tex & I am a serial re-blogger...

(Above representation of T. Tex's image by Charles Hancock)

Hello...
My name is T. Tex Edwards...
I was born in Dallas & now live in Austin Texas...

Since I am a serial re-blogger & usually re-blog one or more PCL Link Dump posts most every day...
When the cattle call went out for prospective new PCL contributors...
I jumped on it faster than a duck on a junebug...
My application to join the PCL Elite has just been approved by PCL's founder/H.B.I.C. -- Mr. Dante Fontana...
I thought I would share my winning entry with you folks out there in PCL land as an introduction to my world...

Mr Dante,

In Fort Worth Texas, back in the 1970's, there used to be a country DJ on KJIM radio named Shootin' Newton...
Shootin' Jim Newton was a slick-talkin' pitchman who rhymed as much as possible in his adverts...
There was a bar/venue in Saginaw, Tx called The Seven Acres Country Club...
In the ads for 7 Acres, Newton would say...
"Where the elite meet to slurp & burp..."

I would like to be a member of the elite...

Best,
T. Tex Edwards
Austin, Texas

The PCL Elite wants YOU!

EDIT: This option is closed for now. Maybe later.

Hi gangsters.

PCL is looking for a couple of cool gals or pals who are dying to become PCL Elite.
What is PCL Elite? you may ask.

PCL Elite is the team of contributors making PCL LinkDump the greatest, most bad-ass pop cultural trash can in the world.

If you like what we are doing and understand what we are aiming for (WORLD DOMINATION) please do not hesitate: send me an email at
mrdantefontana at gmail.com
and tell me who you are and why you want to become PCL Elite.

Maybe you get lucky.

Six years ago (or to be more precise: 6 years and 2 days ago) I started this blog. Good times! .... and bad.
But mostly I'm fascinated over the fact that PCL is still here. Of course a big reason for that is Baikinange whom continues to post pop cultural gems in an endless stream that never seem to run dry. And I thank her for that!
Me, I probably out-posted myself during the first intense 3 years and is still recovering from the hangover. But I'm still here. Not on my toes. But still. Enjoying what's going on.
Also big thanks to Donna, Jan and the rest of the awesomest PCL Team on the planet.
Dynamic Party Blogging!

I love all of you!

Let's hope for another bumpy 6 years!

Ps. But, hello Houston! We have a problem!!!! But I'll get back to you on that one. I do not want to mess this happy anniversary post with crappy problems. Later....

Hello …

It's me, Bob of Bob and Dusty's Whirl-A-Go-Go. Not a stranger here, attentive readers of this blog will recognize me as the source of some funny photos and YouTube videos which amused us all.
Now I'll be bringing more of the same as part of the PCL LinkDump team.

Hello! My name is… Dusty

"Hello! My name is Dusty."
At least that is the name that is on the tag I swiped off of the table out front.

My Spring-o-lator cha - cha heels are squeezing my toes and the lurex hobble skirt I am wearing is riding up with anticipation of the relationship I am about to forge with you.
Why is this?
I received an invite to the most happening holiday party on this side of the water cooler just days ago and I simply could not pass it up.
PCL Linkdump?!

Jeepers!

I hope to be just one more sparkling rhinestone on your cheap ass jumpsuit of pop kulture's thrills and spills.

Please, check me out at Cotton Candy Truant.
Otherwise, thank you for having me over!
Now - it is time for more nibbles and funny drinks!

Whoops!

Happy Belated 2009.

As usual, I'm a day late to the party and a dollar short with the cover charge. Blame it on my holiday vacation from all things online, from which I'm just now returning. Since this appears to be the tradition among you locals, allow me to join in...


(click to enlarge)

I'm the short one. That's me at the ripe old age of two months, with my parents. My mother apparently wished to remain anonymous. Maybe it's on account of that lamp back there, but I really wish I had that now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From a young Trout (1975).

-Percy

bonne année 2009!

Isn't it happiness?

2008 was great! I turned 30 with that same smile stuck on my face!
I wish you all the best for 2009!
Long live PCL!

My First Post

The name is Bella Bliss. I'm a brand new contributor to pcl. I dig clothing, especially vintage or diy designers. I'm a Jersey Girl,born and bred, but spend most of my time in NYC. I grew up in a musical family, but I only know how to play the radio. That being said, when I was four, I was supposedly a great harmonica player. What happened? I started sewing.

I'm planning to interview people with cool jobs, tell you some funny stories about pop culture and goofy stuff I done because of it.

I read voraciously. I don't sleep enough.

Edit: No more Looking for ...

new team member(s).

I think it's obvious that this site need new blood. So if there's anyone out there with good taste and knows what's going on around here and are willing to share som good ol'e fashion links, opinions and memories on pop culture you're most welcome to send Me a note.
Let's get this machine up in the air again!
