BLOGOSPHERE HOPSCOTCH

I was actually bored again at work, and checked my referrer logs. I found out I've been blogrolled by Blogbandit. Scrolling around, I found this excellent visual that ought to be tattooed onto the forehead of every single squish-brained freak who says we should "get over" Sept. 11th.

On the lighter side, if you'll forgive a little cat-blogging, I found a link to RateMyKitten.com, where you can find the cutest kitty pictures ever posted on the internet.

OOOOH! Pirate Kitty!

TODAY'S LOVE NOTE

(Introduction)

Your breasts remind me of Mount Rushmore... my face should be among them.

TODAY’S GRAFFITI CURRENCY



November 2, 2005: One year after Hillary lost the Presidential race in the first unanimous electoral college vote since George Washington was elected (due in part to her now-infamous "Of COURSE I'm a lesbian" speech), and 6 months after the bitter divorce proceedings ended, Bill Clinton, once the most powerful man in the world, was reduced to rubber-stamping currency for piece-rate wages.

Oddly, no one felt his pain.

BLOG-BUDDIES ROCK

Poor Susie's been having a bad day. Stupid high-school kids acting like liberals with their bickering & thieving, making her life hell. I wonder what's in HER happy place?

Matty O'Blackfive has a piece I've been meaning to link for a while. It's an e-mail from someone who actually attended the President's Thanksgiving appearance (Tears of Joy Hanky Alert):

*********

Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. When he stepped up to the cheering, I could clearly see tears running down his cheeks. It was the most surreal moment I've had in years. Not since my wedding and Aaron being born. Here was this man, our President, came all the way around the world, spending 17 hours on an airplane and landing in the most dangerous airport in the world, where a plane was shot out of the sky not six days before.

Just to spend two hours with his troops. Only to get on a plane and spend another 17 hours flying back.

*********

Poor Kevin  of Eckernet still has that "real-life" thingy kicking his ass, but he STILL managed to vote. I rooted around in his archives a bit, and found this little piece of happiness from before the Iraq war. Drink Alert in effect. Individual entry permalinks not working, so click the link and CTRL+F "weather".

Physics Geek has gone Christmas to the hilt at his place. Red & green shit everywhere, plus TONS of Christmas humor, most of which, oddly, has not yet arrived in my inbox via "million times forwarded" e-mails. Right now, I'm liking "Santa answers his mail honestly" the best. For example:

*******

Deer Santa,
 I wud like a kool toy space ranjur fer Xmas. Iv ben a gud
 boy all yeer.
 Yer Frend,
 BiLLy
 
 Dear Billy,
 Nice spelling. You're on your way to a career in lawn care.
 How about I send you a [f******] book so you can learn to read and
 write? I'm giving your older brother the space ranger. At least HE
 can spell!
 Santa

 Dear Santa,
 I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is
 peace and joy in the world for everybody!
 Love,
 Sarah

 Dear Sarah,
 You're parents smoked pot when they had you, didn't they?
 Santa

*******

JUST FOR THE RECORD:

Dana's a babe EVERY week.

It needed to be said.

THERE MIGHT BE SEX IN THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM AFTER ALL

Because I looked at Madfish Willie's collection of the best sexy, smutty, hot & heavy posts from around the blogosphere, and right at the end, I saw Helen blogging nekkid!

YOWZA!

So, Susie, name your price for posing similarly...

WHAT'S IN YOUR HAPPY PLACE?

Lynn points to LeeAnn who answers as follows:

Today my happy place is full of assault rifles and bell towers and laser sights.

Yup, I can relate.

I went to my office Christmas party Saturday night. Instead of hanging out in the blogosphere with all the smart cookies, I was stuck in the presence of the crumbs. I really resent having to make small talk with stupid people. It makes my brain all sad and hurty. So I went to my happy place while I was at the party, and while everyone else was chatting merrily about such dire and weighty topics as whether McDonald's french fries aren't as good as they used to be, I was taking inventory:

Louisville Slugger – check

Brass knuckles – check

Ka-Bar – check

Pliers (never can tell when someone might need dental work) – check

Straight Razor (hag queen who organized the party needs a haircut) – check

Cigar Cutter (hag queen needs to listen while I make a few points (CTRL+F “cigar”)) – check

Scissors (you can never have too many pointy objects) – check

Hammer (this little piggy went to market) - check

There, that should about do it…

…Whoops! Almost forgot the..

FLAMETHROWER! DIE! DIE! DIE!

I feel better now.
