Welcome to this week’s edition of the Bonfire of the Vanities, now it’s 29th. The logs are ready, dry, and dripping with flammable material. Now, the posts that have come home to roast:
- Mog has a fixation on the word “boob,” linking to another post whose fixation on Misha’s invective use produced solid research. As the rules of life go, you blog about shit, you get shit.
- Josh Cohen kills boredom by posting weight loss tips; they’re all sound advice, until he includes a primer on locker room politics. I feel some cold air running up my backside right about now.
- Bryan McAnally dares bloggers to embarass themselves with a “Most misspelled words in the English language” storytelling challenge. Says he: My effort will arrive once someone else contributes, assuring me that this isn’t another ill-conceived, hare-brained idea. With initiative like this, who would dare start the ball rolling?
- The Drama Queen is playing with scrabble tiles. The perfect tool for teaching addition. Her next challenge: to get the same score in less letters.
- Harvey of Bad Money has descended into arguing over disposable sanitation materials. Oh the things that could happen when we start running out of “greatly important social issues” to debate over!
- Sean Hackbarth of The American Mind shows us there’s nothing too American about his mindset when it comes to the defeat of the Green Bay Packers: he lays the blame on someone else’s voodoo tactics instead of sucking up and taking defeat like a man.
- Andrew Ian Dodge speculates on a possible name change by the weirdest man on earth. It’s something everyone might know, but no one would want to actually hear, read, much less even think about.
- Owen of Boots And Sabers was hoping against hope that sensationalist weather coverage by national news shows would cover the typical Midwest cold weather. Normalcy hardly earns advertisers, and thus, coverage, Owen.
- Kiril of Sneakeasy’s Joint tries to lighten up his previously crappy week with a series of F-bombs directed at his past. He now qualifies to run against John Kerry in the next primary.
- Nicholas Packwood of Ghost Of A Flea features Great Canadians every week. Mastery of the obvious this week: we all know what’s great about Pam Anderson.
- Nathan Hamm of The Argus has some nightmarish navel gazing. The things Google does to your head, hmmm?
- Pete, the Smarter Cop, tempts the gods of smarts by airing his shirtless Photoshopping fantasy. His subject? Al Gore. Smart, all right.
- Brian J. Noggle is singing Java to the tune of Karma Chameleon. Need I say more?
- Heather Noggle is suffering from an identity crisis. Her name, of all things!
- Kevin Aylward is raining on Amtrak’s parade. Like the trains he complains about, he’s late, right behind Jeff Jarvis.
- The Interested Participant is frying up Ohio’s desire to name the ubiquitous hamburger as their state food. Methinks he need to go to the Wendy’s; open late, as we all know.
- Jim of Snooze Butoon Dreams has lost his mojo for reading minds. Does he expect everyone to think “carrot” after saying six six times? Arrogance. Tsk. Tsk.
That’s it for now, dear friends. See it next on Southern Musings.

By the way… What many consider to be a most admirable Aussie quality is the ability to laugh at yourself. If you’re wondering whether I’m being serious or not in most of my posts/comments, give me the benefit of the…

I never could get the hang of Fridays
FIRST UP: EmptyBottle is pretty grumpy about blogging selling out. I suppose it’s a valid argument. So, evidently, you can only win an African American Student Award (almost hyphenated that, but I forgot that hyphenation is now no longer a…
