TODAY'S LOVE NOTE

(Introduction)

Each night when the day is through,

I don't ask much, I just want you.

TODAY’S GRAFFITI CURRENCY



"Well," thought Bill Clinton to himself, "technically, stuffing this into an exotic dancer's g-string wouldn't meet the precise definition of spending..."

[INSERT HALLELUJAH CHORUS HERE]

Mike the Marine. Who is he? Where is he from? Does he have working e-mail address somewhere? Is he just a disembodied cybervirus that haunts the blogosphere, leaving random, intelligent, well-thought out comments at people's blogs?

I have no freaking clue.

But we may finally get some answers, because everyone's favorite comment... whatever the opposite of "troll" is... FINALLY kicks out the doors of his very own blog and comes charging out, guns a-blazin'!

Well,... actually the first post is more of a timid "Hi folks, I've got a blog... so... now what?" but ya gotta start somewhere.

Anyway, I'm beaming with pride because Mike credits me, among others, with "the latest push" that sent him over the edge. Y'all can buy me a beer for that one.

Now, I have no idea what to expect. It could be the greatest thing since Bill Whittle. It could be the stupidest thing since Madfish Willie's Dumb Ass Kang A. Roo jokes. But having read Mike's last non-blog offering over at BigStick.US, I'm betting heavily on the former. And I'm blogrolling him.

Welcome to the 'sphere, Mike.

NO, HONEY, THAT'S JUST WRONG

For the record, this is just something forwarded to me by Beloved Wife. No Olson cats were harmed in the making of this picture.

   What do you do when you have:

        -time to spare          

        -a knife

        -a lime          

        -a cooperative cat          

        -a camera 

       ...and you're a Packer fan?

*********

For God's sake, don't do this!

WELL, AT LEAST THE PACKERS ARE LEADING SOMETHING

I can't say it any better than Matty O'Blackfive, so I shan't try:

*********

Campbell's is donating a can of soup (up to 5 million cans!) to the needy for every person that goes to their site and votes for their favorite NFL team. Go to this site and it is right there, and it's very easy to do.

It will only take a few seconds of your time to fill some empty stomachs with warm soup this winter.

*********

Last I checked, the Packers were ahead of the Chiefs by about 320,000 to 280,000. Out of deference to Matt, I'm not going to mention how the Bears are doing.

I FEEL BETTER NOW

I found this delightful bit of gratuituous French-bashing over at Curi's Domain. 15 seconds & a guaranteed smile.

SWELL GUY

Linus of Pepper of the Earth, who I voted for in the New Blog Showcase a while back, is a total class act. He actually sent me a nice e-mail to thank me for voting for him.

Awwww...

Well, I don't really have an open slot on the blogroll right now (which is Don's fault for not staying retired, apparently because he needs money, which I gave him, so maybe he'll go away again now), but I can tell you that there is a good reason to visit: the Merriment section of Pepper's blogroll, where, amongst other goodies, you will find 2 beautiful flash time wasters:

virtual bubble wrap

and

perpetual bubble wrap

Good for the OCD bubble-wrap-popper in all of us. Be sure to check the "manic mode" box when trying the virtual bubble wrap.

Oh, and be sure to find out why Linus said the following:

chickens are actually fruit, since you have to peel them to get at the good part

PROPOSITIONING SUSIE & DANA

J of Quibbles & Bits is buying me a beer. Just wondering if you ladies would like to... uh... help me drink it? See his comments for details.

I'VE GOT NOTHING AGAINST BANJOS...

... I really don't. Kermit the Frog played a banjo, and he's my boyhood idol. Nevertheless, I found these jokes at GEBIV's place amusing.

Please don't hate me, Lynn.

BOOBIE PRIDE!

America's #1 pin-up girl takes issue with the de-sexification of the American female:

*********

I do not take my sense of self-worth from the opinions of others (either positive or negative), but from my knowledge that I have worth, I have purpose, I have strength, I have intelligence, and yes - I have boobies. If you are one of the people who thinks women debase themselves by any mention of their bodies or anything sexual, then this is not the place for you.

*********

And she's also absolutely right that nothing she says will make men think about boobies more often then they already do. I mean, how do you get more often than "constantly"?
