Read My Lips - the blog

Dec. 11, 2004

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:

• Well, maybe there is a reason all the liberals in the United States should move to Canada, at least the gay ones. Accordin' to Travis at Rear Window Ethics, Canada is on the verge of legalizin' same-sex marriages.
• It seems that One Whipped Mother feels the same way I do 'bout the pettiness of some of these other bloggers. Although I try not to delete stuff, I have found occasion to do so, and I constantly am editin' out any mistakes I find in prior posts, even if they are months and months old. I figger it is my blog, so I am the one who gets to make those kind of decisions. [Aside to Ms. Lori: If I was in possession of a flyin' monkey's ass, I think I would see how much it would fetch on Ebay.]
• It 'pears that next year, which is comin' up fairly soon, ya'll, is gonna be the International Year of Microcredit. What is Microcredit, ya ask? Well it is loanin' very small amounts of money ($10-$25) to third-world impoverished entrepreneurs so as to assist them in gettin' businesses started and allowin' them to climb out of poverty. The link takes ya to a page of success stories. Karama muchly deserves a case of sporks.
• I have two dogs I love very very much, but I can tell ya one thing. I would never put a fireman's life in danger jes' to save one or both of the their lives. Some woman did 'zactly that in Arizona, makin' the firemen run back into a blazin' buildin' because she said her "three babies" [cats] were still inside. I actually know quite a few cat-lovin' and dog-lovin' people I 'spect would have done the same thing. A spork is awarded to Tania for pointin' this story out to me.
• I ain't even been able to come up with a 100 things about me list, and this guy, Grubby made a list of 501 ways to annoy your roommate. I am glad he ain't my roommate, I can tell ya that!
• It 'pears there is a major dilemma goin' on in the International Space Station. No, it ain't a mechanical problem, and the American Astronaut and the Russian Cosmonaut are not at each other's throats, however, it might actually come to that. It seems they are runnin' outta food and ain't got very much left on board. A magical invisible spork goes to whoever pointed me in the right direction, 'cause I surely have forgotten who did so.
• C.G. Hill was in fine form earlier this mornin' with these back-to-back postin's: dustbury.com: Season's bleatings and dustbury.com: Get stuffed
• Ya know, I wish I had time to read ever' good blog in the blogosphere, 'cause I know this guy's been 'round for a long time, and this is the first time I ever ventured onto his blog. However, thanks to another magical invisible spork awardee that I cannot remember, I found this entry and LMAO'd for a quarter of an hour or so.

• I really like the design of this blog. I didn't see anyone credited for such, so I am guessin' the blogger did it himself.
