The latest person to join the list is Bill Austin who runs the Blog of the Day Awards. You can nominate a blog to win an award; they’re handed out daily. You get a spiffy award graphic and it’s a great way to find some interesting sites.
In a strange twist of fate, Bill Austin lives in Scottsdale, Arizona which is only a stone’s throw away from where Easton Ellsworth lives in Mesa, Arizona. Easton is on the list just in front of Bill; so Easton will be sending Bill the Fawlty Towers DVDs once he’s enjoyed them.
That’s how this works though! We don’t know who will sign-up and when. You might have to ship the DVDs across the globe or just walk them over to your neighbor. Either way, you’re meeting someone new and having some fun.
Bill meet Easton. Easton, Bill. Bill meet Basil. Basil, Easton.
See how that works!
Basil will probably appreciate the shorter distance…he’s not a huge fan of plane food.

Hilarious! That’s great that Bill is so close.
Ya, I think it’s pretty funny! Sometimes Basil might walk across the street, other times he may have to spend a week traveling…who knows!
I did receive a request to join the list from Belarus that I’m waiting to confirm, so Basil may be heading that way at some point in time…
[...] On a side note — Bill Austin has another site I wanted to help promote, called Quotes - Famous Quotes. It has nothing to do with donkeys, but since Bill drew my attention to the Cyprus donkey sanctuary…It’s a great place for a quick chuckle or a smidge of inspiration. [...]
