Catfish Man

Many people know of Ted Murphy through IZEA, Social Spark, PayPerPost and Sponzai – but there is another side of Ted Murphy you may not know.

Somehow it surfaced here, on this post. What do you think??

A friend showed me the video of Ted Murphy pretending to me a catfish and I about died from laughter. So last year a group of us attending the blogger’s IzeaFest conference in Orlando decided to take on the infamous Scavenger hunt. One of the activities we had to do was related to impersonating a fish. We chose the catfish routine – only via a business door – to replicate Ted Murphy’s famous fish. While it may not be better than his impersonation, it sure made us laugh!

Now if I could only find the real Ted Murphy Catfish Impersonation

Does anyone have the link??

Finally the great Ted Murphy of IZEA has posted just enough to make those who know about IZEA go nuts andmaybe even forget to wear their pants!

Here is the latest from Ted Murphy, and I quote, ”

I know I have been kind of quite lately. Things have been very busy in IZEAville. We are ramping up for a series of product releases and announcements that will begin in a few weeks. From a brand new SocialSpark to a new opportunity type in Sponsored Tweets, pigs will fly in May and June.”

If you are a blogger and have yet to discover IZEA web sites, now may be a great time – just before the big news. These are sites were once approved, you can make money with your blog and certain posts. I was not paid for this post. I posted because the people are great and I enjoy the ability to make a few extra bucks when I want.

Stay tuned…………………………

This is a short and quick post about my flight to IZEAFest this morning. Nothing like waking up after almost four hours and heading to DFW airport from Frisco, TX. Meant to leave my sister’s home by 5:30. Hello, only 20 minutes later. Arrived at the airport on time. Then when I arrived at the gate I had a sinking feeling that I did not lock my car. Not much I could do about it at that time, except assume I did lock it up tight. I assume I will discover how safe my car was when I return from IZEAFest.

Getting to the terminal was a breeze. Should have grabbed a picture. Got to AirTrans Airways with no problem. Have a super seat on the aisle. Flight is about half full, but it is loaded with kiddos. I booked for price only to discover this flight is referred to as the “Disney flight.”  I have to admit that the kiddos on this flight are well behaved – at least up to this point in time. I was on a flight from Spokane to Dallas last week with wound up kiddos. I had a seat near the back and all the kiddos were in the back. I was lucky and got to fly with kiddos constantly kicking my seat hard, slamming the window visor down and screaming.

I have a great idea for the airlines. Add a soundproof booth at the back of the plane for everyone with small children to use!!

It was difficult to get any winks during the night witth IZEAFest at SeaWorld on my mind. Then IZEA CEO Ted Murphy tweets he wonders if he should wear pants while he speaks! Hold the phone Sally – it would be easier to pack if pants were left at home. For those who don’t know -the pants are a long story.

If you are going to IZEAFest be sure to follow me on Twitter to win prizes via tweets. I will tweet contest giveaway information with tweets. There are dozens of giveaways ands contests that will be tweeted through Sunday so be sure to check out others like ConnieFoggles, WarrenWhitlock, BenSpark, HeatherinBC, craftyGAgal, susan70070, johnraser and justjulie to name a few.

This is the week of the seriously huge IZEAFest – a blogger’s conference. Maybe it could be called a blogger’s dream. Ted Murphy and IZEA, Inc. have lined up some of the brightest most happening blogger’s on the planet as speakers. What’s even more fun is the location for IZEAFest – SeaWorld in Orlando. Can it get any better than that?

The event starts Thursday evening with a party and ends Sunday with a day at SeaWorld where bloggers take over. Petty crazy, right?
