It is that time of year again-time to cheer and roast another fellow blogger. Last year it was our favorite Ninja, Alex Cavanaugh. This year it is our favorite bird- Arlee aka Lee Bird. Lee describes himself, “as a writer, speaker, entertainer, music lover, collector, husband, father, grandfather, friend, traveler, seeker of truth and wisdom.” Lee has six blogs, but is most known for Tossing it Out.
Why did Lee come up with the A-Z blogging challenge?
Lee loves Scrabble-it is juggling letters. One night he was tossing back a few drafts he heard this song A, B, C, played to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and he had to blur lines. Fate led me to Lee and I was Hooked on his Phonics. He thought this idea could catch the big one on(a)line.
Who could play Lee in a documentary? (Living or
dead.)
Christopher Walken-he can do it all and he also is a Scanner.
I think seeing is believing!
See, Walken is perfect to play Bird. He is up for the challenge and his talents will soar leaps and bounds. Tossing and juggler are part of his daily grind in the limelight. He will make Lee a proud Bird. I wonder could they be the same person?!
The founder of the annual A to Z Challenge, Lee is a well-respected member of the blogging community.
This roast is hosted again by Mark Koopmans, Morgan Shamy, David Powers King, Stephen Tremp and the Ninja Captain-CheersFest 2.0 will go LIVE! Dec. 9, 2013.

If someone dreams about being a juggler, what does it mean?
He is a Scanner. Scanners want to do it all-they toss their dreams in the air and wish they could pick one, but they can't, so they keep juggling. They usually have more than two blogs and many talents. They want to wear all the hats and the world is their big top.
Is a post by Mr. Bird worth two in the bush?
Does a bird tweet?! Of course, I think it is worth three. Yes, he loves to juggle odd numbers. (It's a designer trick)
Christopher Walken-he can do it all and he also is a Scanner.

So that's what Lee does when he tosses out a subject? Hmmm.
Great choice for casting Walken.
