I know I generally tend to prattle on and on about whomever I link here on BlogHer, usually only providing one link or two, but my linkage queue is getting huge. There are just so many good blogs here in the great white north. I am lucky that I am not restricted by topic. I can give you music, art, erotica, food, shopping, all in one mouthful. Today, I give you THREE, THREE luscious links HA HA HA. (sorry, too much Sesame Street).
Samantha Burns of The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns is funny. Period. She has won awards for being funny. I will let this quote to the talking.
Something That Wouldn't Happen In Canada
A man tried to prove to his girlfriend that marriage is a good thing, worthy of the risks involved.
He tried to prove it by running through the streets naked:
"A marriage-minded man ran naked through his neighborhood, trying to show his hesitant girlfriend that taking risks is important."
But, the guy somehow ended up losing his persuasive argument when he nearly got his a$$ shot off:
"The man responded that taking risks is an important part of life and, to prove his point, jumped out of a first-floor window and ran naked across the street.
Before he could return, he spotted a couple walking and hid in some bushes to avoid them. A 28-year-old man noticed the bushes rustling and bare feet underneath, then drew a .40-caliber handgun and ordered the naked man out, police said.
The naked suitor ran away, but the armed man gave chase and threatened to shoot, police said. The gunman fired a shot and the naked man fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries."
If you're at all like me, you're probably wondering how stupid this guy was for running around naked, or perhaps how dumb the gunman was for shooting without legal cause, using a concealed weapon.
And, if you read the title, you may be wondering what I meant by it all.
This sort of thing wouldn't happen in Canada, not because we are completely rational and would never do something so idiotic as run out of a window naked onto the street.
No, we'd do that for sure.
Nightly, if possible.No, this thing wouldn't happen in Canada because we don't carry handguns.
A hunting rifle's the only way to go up here.
And another thing, when we take aim - what with all our bears and beasties - we shoot to kill and rarely ever nick 'em.A naked targets, though, that had to be fun. I would have aimed for his "wee", lol.
I would have put a shorter quote in, but this killed me.
Kill the Goat is the next linky I am giving you, again with the very funny. Jay isn’t just for the funny though. She runs a fine personal blog that has the kind of relatable talk that keeps me coming back. A sample.
To the deluded individual who wondered "do straight men wear thongs?":
the answer is an unqualified and resounding no. Just no. That's all you need to know. If you need convincing, you can look here, but note, it's for the strong of stomach only.
In fact, my good friend L. assures me that gay men don't wear them, either. So who is wearing them? Just the trannies? Do we want to know?
No. No, we don't.
I just got caught up in this blog AGAIN for another 40 minutes. It is totally a personal preference, but I like the personal blogs. The day-to-day stuff. What people are thinking and doing. People like me, but not like me. It is an intimacy that I think was really created by blogs. It is why I started my own. Evelyn is a sweet young thing (she is 22 and I am well, older than that), who hails from our east coast. I love this description of her first day of work.
I hate first days of work. There's the awkwardness, the not knowing what you're doing, the wearing a dressy shirt and regretting it cuz it's uncomfy and everyone else is wearing hemp sweaters and crocs, and the kids thinking you should know what you're doing, and they're like, dude! and I'm like, dude! and then someone else is like, dudes! and deals with it for me. And there's the trying to look like
