The Good
Every once in awhile it's good to get out and do a little exploring on the interwebs. I say "every once in awhile" because 99% of the blogs out there are utterly and completely unreadable. It is extremely difficult to find new and interesting blogs, and since I've found a couple outside our Circle of Jerks, um, wait, maybe that's not the right term to use, outside of the usual group of regulars around here, I thought I'd pass on a couple of good ones I've found.
First up: Moooooog35's Mental Poo. I've always said that Pistols at Dawn's Save Your Generation is the gold standard of blogs. Well, Moooooog35 is easily #2, pun intended. I have to warn you that if Mental Poo were a movie, it'd be rated NC-17 or R, but it's freaking hilarious. I defy you to go check it out, and come back complaining that it wasn't any good.
Also Very Good: Rassle's Sometimes I Make Lists. Maybe I'm just a sucker for ladies who curse like a sailor. A long time ago, I used to read this blog by this other woman...let's see, who was that? Man, it was so long ago when I read it...there was an eyepatch or something...ah, it doesn't matter. Check out Rassle's blog. I nearly cried laughing while reading her latest posting, even if I don't understand half of it or know who Molinder is. Much of her postings involve drinking stories, and if it were a movie, it would probably be rated R. I give it a big thumbs up, though, so keep those f-bombs a-flyin', missy.
The Bad
On November 23, 2008 someone set up a self-titled blog Whoissecretdubai. SecretDubai, according to wikipedia, was a Middle-Eastern blogger who went underground - whatever. Whoissecretdubai thought is was hil-freaking-larious to go around and spam people (I got spammed in the posting before this one - check the comments), asking who is Secret Dubai. To WISD's credit, within a couple of week's time, there were nearly 150 responses to his/her 1 blog posting "Who is SecretDubai (the blogger)", but WISD pissed off a lot of people in doing so. Well, ol' Mathdude gave WISD a bit of Elmore Leonard-inspired mischievousness, and lo and behold - no more whoissecretdubai! As a prankster/rule-breaker/quasi-law breaker, I'd rather keep my cards close to me on this one. Maybe some day, we'll have a beer together and laugh over it.
The Awesome
You didn't think you were going to get out of here without hearing about the 12 Shades of Awesome NFC West Champion Arizona Cardinals Probably the Greatest Team Ever Assembled - EVER! winning their first division title since 1975, did you! Yeeeeeeaaaaaah Baby!!! How do you like that? Can you feel it, huh? Oops, sorry, I got a little carried away. Yes, the last time they won their division, I was in the 7th grade, and I'm old. I knew rooting for them would pay off some day!
That's all I got for ya!

I was just a scant few days away from being born when the greatest team ever assembled won their last division title. Well done, well done.
My "team", on the other hand, lost--again--to hapless Houston. At least that part wasn't again.
Someone wake me up when the Jaguars are a professional football team again, k?
Math, you're making me blush. And I don't understand half of my last post either.
Oh, and fuck Secret Dubai.
I saw one comment where WISD said he/she was going to die if he/she didn't find SD and now I'm worried you made something happen to him/her. But if you made it so we don't get spammed anymore, I can live with it.
He thinks I'm cuute! He thinks I'm cuuuuuute!
Sorry. Sorry.
Watched 'Rudolph' last night.
Santa is such an asshole in that.
Thanks, mathdude! May your pi one day be finite.
See what I did there?
Mooooooog is so good, he's even better than me!
There's nobody better than the midget man of steel. With the possible exception of the midget man of platinum, if he existed.
The Arizona Cardinals have never won their division, the St. Louis Cardinals won it back when you were in 7th grade.
MJenks: Wow, I really feel for you because my team has won 1 playoff game IN MY LIFETIME!!
Chris: See above.
Rassles: Amen sister!
Gwen: Oh that's right! I probably caused something really bad to WISD. Whatever.
Moog: Don't get me started on pi, or you'll be real sorry.
Mike: You sound like World B. Free - "That shot (teammate made)was so good, I thought I shot it!" Oh yes I did just drop some World B. Free on you!
Jackson: You are correct sir! Changing cities hasn't made the suffering less painful, though.
After the painful Jake Plummer years, it must be great to finally have some success. Plus, I think you hate the Redskins, and they are just good enough to still technically be in the playoffs while losing to every team they'd need to beat to actually make the playoffs, meaning all they've done is ruin their draft pick.
