Dec. 10, 2004 [LINKS]

Well, here we go again with a nice set of links to point out those nuggets of wisdom and gems of humor that I have found here and there through my blog surfin' adventures. All links open in new windows, so feel free to click and read ... the list will be awaitin' your return. Now, for your readin' pleasure, the proprietors of Read My Lips are proud to present:

  • When I first ran 'cross this quote from a story at Country Store, I couldn't believe what I was readin':
    Super-compassionate liberal Senator Ted Kennedy is one of the richest politicians in America, but he's quietly giving back -- by teaching poor inner-city teens to drive, free of charge!
    Ya mean America's most famous drunk driver, the anti-hero of Chappaquiddick himself, was responsible for givin' drivin' lessons to inner city thugs? Surely you jest? Then I clicked the link and discovered the source.
  • I don't 'spose I ever tol' ya'll how much I adore cute pictures of babies, have I? Accidental Verbosity - It's Clobberin' Time! I like 'em so much better than cute pictures of cats. [Update: late discovery]
  • It 'pears there is another Best of Blogs award contest goin' on, but this one is 'sposedly for those unrecognized personal blogs, kinda like this one, which, despite havin' maintained a large mammal status for over a year and a half, havin' amassed over 150,000 visitors by one meter, and havin' composed over 3000 entries, has yet to ever be nominated for any bloggin' award. You can find the necessary info at The Zero Boss: BoB and B4B. If any of ya'll would like to nominate Read My Lips in any appropriate category, I'd be muchly appreciative of your efforts. If nominated, I'll likely be beggin' for your votes, but we won't cross that bridge 'til we come to it.*
  • The Empress** timely provides a delightful and humorous listin' of holiday eatin' tips jes' in time for ya to get some good use outta them.
and, lastly,
  • Blackfive provides the details of an upcomin' conference at Harvard University:
    Global Voices Online: Blogging for Independent Journalists, Concerned Citizens and Activists
    of which he has been invited to participate. This is supposedly jes' a small part of a larger symposium on "the use of information and communications technologies in the transformation of politics." Let's give Blackfive a great big "Hoooooo-Raaaah!" and congratulate him on bein' a representative voice of the greater blogosphere.

*I ain't real sure if there is a category for the Blog Which Best Bastardizes Cliches or not, but ya know what I mean. ;)

**I do often wonder if the Empress notices that I am a regular reader and sporadic commenter at her blog.
