Blog Roundup

Welcome back to the Blog Roundup. You may note if you check the extended entry that two non-local blogs have been included in the scan - Read My Lips and Dusting My Brain. I did this to increase the number of potential links for consideration. Unfortunately for the timing, Dusting My Brain has run out of bandwidth so we can't actually scan it. If you would like your blog links included in future runs, just leave me a comment. The downside of being included is that it is likely to increase the chance that your blog gets reviewed :-)

Now about a week ago, Ramblings of Silver Blue frightened the entire rational blogsphere with this post which suggested that he was giving up on the blogging habit. Then again maybe there was a secret memo (as suggested by Tig) where everyone just stopped posting/commenting. Fortunately, it turned out that SilverBlue was still around with a recent Thanksgiving post and another one called "Black" Friday. I am not sure why it is "Black" because it is not the 13th...

Speaking of Read My Lips, he has promised to keep his blog all serious now. In other news, apparently you can only use the ;) smile now. In other news, Tig has been raiding the cheap DVD bin at Walmart - which caused much angst when I realised that the top10 program decided that all the links to imdb were actually blogs :-)

The next cab off the rank (Blogthings - Cool Stuff To Put In Your Blog) is not really a blog. What it does have is lots of quizzes like What Part of Thanksgiving are you, What Number Are You? and most strangely What Jones Holiday Soda Are You?. Who the heck is Jones and what on earth is Holiday Soda?

Some of you may recognise the name Peskie. Not only does he have his own blog, he is also a very frequent poster of LOL material. Unfortunately for the rest of the blog world, he has not been updating his main blog recently :-( Still, it is worth popping over there and checking out some of the historical material.

Last, but certainly not least, is Mostly Fluff which appears to be having a brief Thanksgiving break. Mind you, that might be the result of selfless testing of complicated Martini recipes. It's a dangerous job but someone needs to do it. Mind you if the tension is going result in jamming a turkey up someone's [DELETED] then drink testing might be a safer alternative. In another interesting post, there seems to be some confusion where Kat mixes up Aussies and Texans:

We Texans Aussies are known for our hospitality. We’re known for our food. We’re known to drink more than we probably ought to. Hell, that’s all the fun you need right there, isn’t it?

Mind you the post then explains about Snipe Hunting and that is definitely not an Aussie thing. We have hoop snakes and drop bears instead.

That's it for this week. Comments (that are not spam), suggestions and requests to be added to the scan are most welcome...
