BONFIRE OFTHE VANITIES #135 (1/31/06)

This is my first try at doing the Bonfire of the Vanities. Although many of my posts have been part of the Bonfires, I promise not to be mean and instead look at the humor behind these entries. We all have our bad days and good days, our bad and good posts and these entries are supposed to fit into that category. These entries are also supposed to bring attention to the entry-guest, so check out the rest of the site while checking the Bonfire posts; some may surprise you. :-)

In the old-fashioned way of doing the Bonfire, I'm just going to roll with each one separately. Wish me luck. :-)

Here we go: argh

First entry put me in a spin. "Peace Moonbeam" is the author. Who calls themselves "Peace Moonbeam?" Anyway, the title is called Liberal Libations and she notes it's a stupid story that's poorly written. For me, I couldn't figure out which story it was there were so many urls, so I'm hoping it's this one. No title, just a URL.

Now this one just cracked me up! "Pick me please!" John Stansbury begs, "I need more hits!" He's not the only one. All he wants is this to be linked. Since it is about Ben Franklin, I just want to add he was famous for taking "air baths." John added a little ditty that I'm going to put here because I liked it. "I'm like the Red Sox of relationships. Go this long without one, and then when you do win it...it's this good? It's almost like a fairy tale.
-John Stansbury"

I'm a Red Sox Fan plus I understand the losses and get his drift. :-) Not much goes over my head or under my feet! So John, Consider yourself linked!

This category is politics and a bit paranoid; it's about this week's signs that the Apocalypse is upon us. Jack Cluth of "The People's Republic of Seabrook" would feel better if there was a "Hooters" in town. The question I have is what state "Seabrook" is in for if it's the one I know, it needs more than a Hooters.

Have you guys figured out yet I have no clue what I''m doing? (ayup) This is tough.

Next title: How to save money for Super Bowl Tickets (without sitting in the cheap seats) from the "Free Money Finance Submitter." Who comments that it took him awhile to put this together and found out no one cared about it, so into the fire it goes! I think the best seats in the house are on the couch. :-)

Next we have an entry from the Conservative Cat himself titled "A scientific experiment." Interesting. Didn't realize the Cat posted.

This one I'm going to have to reread. "I am not a gayer...." submitted by John Harrison has a piece for current events that is something I didn't know and that's probably the same for the rest of us. A bit weird, tho. Is "gayer" even a word?

Gonna take a break to watch the REAL news of the day. (FOX)

This is from mensa barbie, titled "Ally or Interferece." who comments 'this was the tail end of a too-long post which goes to show "less is more" but not for the reason you'd hoped."

The little Digger Logo Themes on Digger Realm has this new entry. When I wake up in the morning or afternoon, I'll actually read this one.

Four more to go - will do in morning. I can only hope I didn't make any mistakes and if so, you have my apologies. Since this is a lot of work, I'd recommend doing the Bonfire every two weeks. These are quickies for this woman/gimp is not feeling well today: my apologies.

Peakah submitted this post commenting "hmm...some things may be better left unsaid." The title is La Visage de Francais...that I believe.

FIAR of Radioactive Liberty sends in a humorous post called " A Democrat Finally gets it right" saying "I didn't work too hard on this one." I can only imagine; I don't know of any Democrat that ever got anything right.

Your Weekly Assignments sent in by Alabama Improper says this post is the longest, most insignificant post -ever! It's up to you whether it's worth reading.

The last entry is from Elisson of Blog d'Elisson of a personal note. It's called Strange. I like strange, so I'll definitely read it when I feel better.

This one I originally missed. It's from sinsblog and this is what he says "here is my entry. While I do hate E3, I don't hate it as much as the writing in this awful post. At least there are pics of hot babes, so it's all good." Hee Hee, he's right, very funny.

Enjoy!!!
