POKING THROUGH TECHNORATI
Just for fun, I checked my links at Technorati, and discovered a blog linking to me that I'd never heard of before. Dave's Not Here by, well, Dave.
He's currently working as a civilian contractor in Iraq, helping to
pick up the mess Saddam spent 30 years making. There's some computer
work involved, but mostly he spends his time checking the strength of steel I-beams. If they're stronger than his head, they pass inspection.
Enough intro. What I REALLY want you to see are the pictures he posted of Baghdad International Airport (formerly Saddam's HellMouth). The place is quite visually stunning. I guess we know where the oil-for-food money went now.
Oh, and Dave, a suggestion, if I may. Please give the full title of the
acronyms you use at least once in each post for the benefit of readers
who are not familiar with your line of work. Always keep the new reader
in mind. Alternatively, you might consider having an "acronym glossary"
post linked in your sidebar that you could update from time to time.
But it's your blog, so it's your call. Either way, nice place ya got there.

JOEY STRUGGLES THROUGH ADVERSITY AND...
...Hits a freakin' HOME RUN with his first political cartoon (Jan 30, CTRL+F "comic"). I tried to tell him that I LMAO'd, but his comments gave me the cold shoulder.
Put down your beverage & check it out.
Now if only he could get that Single White Male MT blog working...

GOTTA REMEMBER THIS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY
Million-times forwarded e-mail from Blogless Brother Roy:
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her
birthday. "I'd love to be six again," she replied.
On the morning of
her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms and then
took her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in
the park: the DeathSlide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller
Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme
park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
Right
away, they journeyed to a McDonalds where her loving husband ordered a Happy
Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then it was
off to a movie, the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, a soda pop, and
her favorite candy, M&M's. What
a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled
home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his
precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well, Dear, what was it like
being six again?"
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly
changed. "You idiot, I meant my dress size!"
The moral of the story:
Even when a man is listening,
he's going to get it wrong.

TEMPLATE TWEAKS
Very minor. I added some stuff to the sidebar. Two of which are actual quotes about me.
Vigilance Matters had that reaction after I judged his sorry ass in the King of the Blogs Tournament. It was meant as a compliment, and I wear it as a badge of pride.
Ted of Rocket Jones spit his quote out in Susie's comments
after I had left yet another of my typically charming, yet crudely
suggestive comments there. It's probably a compliment of some sort. At
any rate, it's as accurate as a sniper's bullet.
Down a bit further, I finally got around to adding the King of the Blogs judge/participant javascript. Gee, I've only been judging there for about 2 months now. About time I found 5 freakin' minutes to get this taken care of
Now I'm off to go muck about in the meat world for a bit. Bills to pay & whatnot.
UPDATE (1-31, 4:25pm): I also added a reciprocal link to Blogwise. Does anyone actually go there?
