I'm going to start a little tradition here at Blue Girl In A Red State, One Woman's View Of The World. Every Friday, I'm going to post my very favorite bloggy things from the entire week. Cut off's going to be around noon each Friday and I have no idea how Saturday and Sunday will fit into the picture. I'll just make the rules up as I go.
Or maybe this is one of my Big Ideas and I'll only do this once. And if that's the case, and who knows if it is, but if it is, savor this post. Savor it!
Okay. Ready?
Blue Girl's Fifth Favorite Thing of the Week:
Pinko Punko's post entitled, A Grave Situation
It has come to my attention that Three Bulls! is in danger of cancellation. Some critics feel the format is stale and change is needed. Network executives point out that our readership ages by the day in all age brackets.
Go read the whole thing and leave a comment channeling Orrin Hatch. It'll be fun!
Blue Girl's Fourth Favorite Thing of the Week:
M.A. Peel's post entitled, Unloved By The New Yorker Cartoon Judges
Go read why M.A. is unloved by those judges. It's unfair, I tell you. And leave a comment telling her so.
Blue Girl's Third Favorite Bloggy Thing of the Week:
Jeddie Ningo's post entitled, This I Believe...
Well, it wasn't the post I loved so much, it was the comment thread. I blabbed a lot in it. Blab, blab, blab, blab, blab. Hey, that's me. You don't like it? Well, then ban me people! You do have the technology.
Here's my very favorite comment in Jeddie's comment thread, left by a gentleman who goes by the name of Tom:
Being given a really nice jacket with the company logo on it: Acceptable schwag. Bonus points if they don't make you replace it if the logo embroidery "accidentally" unravels.
Voluntarily buying a really nice jacket with the company logo on it: Debatable. I almost bought a FedEx bomber jacket when I worked for them, because it was not only relatively cheap but had two different colors of reflective tape on it, which would have been nice to have whenever I rode my bike at night. I decided not to, on reflection, when imagining the number of random strangers who would stop me and ask where their fucking package was.
Blue Girl's Second Favorite Bloggy Thing of the Week:
BOSSY'S post entitled, Get a Virtual Haircut with BOSSY.
Wait. This post is from April 20. My rules! I'm keeping it!
First off, no fair. BOSSY gets to get her hair cut in New York City. And drink out of pretty red martini glass on top of it.
Go look at how BOSSY's hair is the frashizzle and how great and blurry it looks when she's all done.
(Side note: Everyone should be reading BOSSY all the time. She is funny. The funnyrizzleshizzle.)
And now. For Blue Girl's Number One Favorite Bloggy Thing of the Week:
You know how much I love Bobness. I do. I love his words and how he strings them together. And his advice to the lovelorn and stupid was great. For example:
Q: Are there normal, non psychotic men in there early 30's? Or is this the dating world now? I mean I realize that everyone has issues to an extent but I seem to attract the extremes.
Dr. Bob: No, actually there are not. Psychiatrists have studied this phenomenon, what is known as the Generation X-tremely Nuts men.
Yeah, Bob's funny. But, I have to admit, it's not his post that's My Very Favorite Thing of the Week.
It's the little emoticon sticking its tongue out. Go look! When I've had to deal with lots of my NOT very favorite things this week, (and believe me, there were almost too many to count) I would imitate that little emoticon constantly. I'm actually doing it right now. Not for any real reason, though. Just cuz it's fun.
And that, my friends, has been the First Edition of Blue Girl's Favorite Things of the Week.
See you this time next week. Same bat blog. Same bat url. And if you don't stop by? (Click to see my very favorite emoticon.)
And remember...
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
AG already smells a rat! AG put Mr. No Pillz, not a Protoctor, Blue Girl, teh Skimmer's balls on a key chain and AG doesn't even get a measly, honorable mention?
Pshaw to that!!

Bossy loves the tongue! Very Charlie Brown after Lucy has just belted him one...
Posted by: BOSSY | April 27, 2007 at 06:24 PM
AG, there will be a new rule. And honorable mention from here on out!
Posted by: blue girl | April 27, 2007 at 06:25 PM
I hope it lasts!
I mean the new addition to the blog, not AG's absence from the new addition to the blog...

Oooh, love it. Have a great weekend!

I'm asking all the people whose blogs I've enjoyed to post something about the national-wide food drive put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers on May 12th. You can find information about this at:

Oh Lord. Now AG's going to put someone else's testicles on a key chain and name them after Blue Girl. This is getting too weird for me.

This is what makes a winner - the extra little things, the cute emoticons, the adverbial clauses, the naked pleas for attention.
I'm number one! I'm number one!

My favorite part of the week was the week ending.

Whew, crisis averted!
And Grizzled. How much do we love seeing the G-dawg here?! Can we get a guest post by the Skimmer?!
