It’s time for Dr. Demento’s annual Funny 25! And that means it’s time to update the Top 100 (or so) Demented Hits. Here are the new Top 10:
1. Dead Puppies – The The Ogden Edsl Wahalia Blues Ensemble Mondo Bizzario Band
2. Fish Heads – Barnes and Barnes
3. They
Michele has decided to put together a year-end review of blog entries that touched us all in some way (not THAT way, pervert…um, actually, that might make it there too). Anyhow, here’s the intro to the Blogger Required Reading List 2002:
Culled from the blogosphere and online news articles, and hopefully from a list sent in by all of you, I’ll start posting the definitive list of required reading for the past year. No matter what your ideology, politic or point of view, if you felt something – a blog post (yours or someone else’s), a meme, a news article – was especially important, profound or maybe just hysterically funny, please send it to me and I’ll start compiling a year-end round up of what made us tick in 2002. You can either email me or leave a link here in the comments. I appreciate also if you leave a short note as to why this post/article was important to you or what it meant to you.
So, if you have read something this year that you think everyone should see, throw it over the fence to A Small Victory, pretty please. Merci beaucoups.
OK, looks like Kat has found a new place. A thousand curses upon the moron that messed up the old one . . . and a thousand praises to Sara, her new host.
Update your Blogrolls and find Kat’s My Single Mom Life at http://blogland.com/mysinglemomlife/blog/
Grrrrrrrr. Some ignorant ass has attacked Kat and her blog host. So, until things get fixed, find her at her temporary Blogspot digs.
As someone so eloquently put it “Hey you snowballing freak, your guest post is up at Raising Hell. Fly the pig, Gir!”
Go and re-visit our birthday night out with Pepperkat in raising hell : Chocolate and Other Birthday Delights.
Well, that was fun. I wasn’t even around half the day, and I still got to splat about fifty blogs! Now, I am off to bed. We’re taking the in-laws to the big Diz-Knee tomorrow. Then, it’s off to St. Augustine on Saturday. Won’t be around much.
Keep the entries for Carnival of the Vanities #15 coming to Solonor at Solonor.com!
But Mommm, Tracy started it!
Nothing like a good old snowball fight to get the after Christmas juices flowing. I think I’m a little late, because somebody hit me when I wasn’t looking. Payback time…
It’s all finished!
Peace on Earth! Gimme presents! – Animal
Santa was good to old Solonor this year. Oh yes.
And you shall all be green with jealousy at the prezzies I got. Mwahahaha.
(Please, pardon the tone of my posts today. I watched Invader Zim Most Horrible X-Mas Ever with the kids first thing this morning. Thus, all the voices in my head have that “Sweet lemony fresh victory is MINE!” cadence. It will pass. Maybe. Worm baby. Maybe.)
First off, Ejen and Snowgirl, my in-law siblings from Maine, are here. So, they brought us a basket of Mainey goodness:
– a 2003 calendar from Yankee magazine
– a couple of Reny’s chocolate bars
– a package of chocolate covered blueberries
– some maple syrup
– a can of fish chowder (sorry… ‘chowdah’)
– a tin of lobster spread (‘lobstah spread’… oh, you get the idea)
– a can of Bakewell Cream (mmm…biscuits…)
– a jar of Pemberton’s Death by Chocolate dessert sauce
– some maple-cinnamon creamed honey from Preble’s Bee Farm in Corinth
– some Winterport onion dill dip
– a couple of packages of Necco wafers (um, not from Maine, but what the heck!)
Snowgirl is a maker of glass-blown beads. She’s got the fiery furnace of doom and everything! She made me a key ring with one of her creations on it. It is tres purty.
(One thing I did not get was a digital camera. So, I cannot show you the beady goodness. This will not do. Therefore, I decree that I shall have a digital camera before the end of 2003. It will be MINE!!!)
Then, just for me, there was a present with class–“Oh deer! The Super Dooper Reindeer Pooper”. It shoots jelly beans out of its ass.
Jealous yet?
While I’m on the toy theme, my brother and sister-in-law in Georgia got me Rocky and Bullwinkle figurines to add to my crowded desk. Meanwhile, my loverly family got me a rabbit with big, pointy teeth to snuggle up with at night.
In the “read any good books lately” series, I got Timelines of World History and The Languages of Tolkein’s Middle-Earth. Both are filled with hours of geeky goodnes. Quenuvalye i lamber Eldareva.
In the “I used to have these on vinyl” series, I got two of my cravings satisfied. E.L.O.’s Greatest Hits and Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols. They complement each other so well.
Gaming goodness was addressed with Civilization III and the multiplayer add-on. Now, I just need to find SOMEBODY who wants to get their buttocks kicked as I march to conquer the WORLD!!
Finally, I got the Muppet Family Christmas on DVD (hence the opening quote from Animal). This special first aired when my oldest was about 18 months old. He was a Sesame Street junkie. We taped six episodes (“No, son, no! You’re not old enough to drive! N-n-n-no. That starts with an ‘N’!”) that he watched over and over and over. I remember snuggling up and watching it with him, before hauling his footed-pajama’d bod up over the stairs of our rent-assisted slum apartment.
Jim Henson died a few months after my second kiddo was born. From that time, when I’d see the end of the show where Henson surveys the gathering of all his Muppet creations and turns to do the dishes with Sprocket the dog, I’d cry like a baby. They stopped showing it on TV a long time ago, and I never got around to getting a copy on tape or DVD. But I have it now.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and got all the goodies you wanted.
I did.
Lest we forget, some people actually worked last night to bring us fresh Vanity Goodness on Christmas. Go there and thank Ravenwood for struggling with all the losers that e-mailed him last minute changes to their entries on Christmas Eve (um, that would be me).
Then, return to this very spot! For I have been tapped as the next stop on the Carnival Cruise. Yes, you heard it right. Solonor’s Ink Well has been chosen to host the very first CoV for 2003!
Send all submissions by 6pm, Tuesday, December 31. Bonus points for those who submit by Monday at 4pm…
In spite of my extra long post yesterday, I didn’t spend much time in front of the PC. Thus, I missed the call from Geekman: Do They Know It’s Blogging Time.
