Worthy Surfers Who Wiped Out Here

Chris
Yet another sign that the next generation brings hope. Has his soon-to-be-jar head screwed on straight, with a strong sense of duty and humor. Not necessarily in that order.

This guy was impressed enough with a BNN story to link to it. I was impressed enough with his points-of-view to link to him.

Here's a young feller who 'preciates wordsmything enough to feature counterfeit words.

What are the odds of someone with a blog title laying claim to the phrase "Too Stupid for Words" finding another blog titled "Dumbidity"?
Kevin
A tolerant host and well-informed on technical issues.
Jenny & Geoff
Attesting to the international appeal of this humble blog, this couple from Australia stopped by. Just pronouncing "Mulubinba" makes me feel like I've gone down under.

Very much the Fabulist, and a fairly prodigious blogger, Suzette can prepare to entertain and provide the entertainment. Join her retinue.
Tvindy
Anyone who recognizes obscure mammals from the Southern Hemisphere can't be all bad.
stupidangrycanajun
I think "canajun" is a phonetic corruption of the Canadian pronunciation of "canadian," and I just can't pass that up.
Sarah
I think she just wishes she was a geek. Seems normal to me, but then, consider the source.

Cookies for Days!

My Dear Sweet Wife, who has to work full-time in a high stress environment (but would much prefer that I win the lottery or quit trying to balance the checkbook so she could stay home all day and do wifey/mommy stuff) secured a temporary semi-industrial license for the production of consumable baked goods. Pounds of flour and sugar, dozens of eggs, butter, milk, spices and pinches of this and dribbles of that have been mixed, dolloped and heated to perfection.

The macadamia nut, chocolate chip and fat-gram cookies are currently under armed guard, with special emphasis on monitoring the cats. Just one of the cream-cheese pound cakes takes 3/4 of a pound of butter, and I haven't weighed one, but my guess is those suckers are every ounce of two pounds. Liberal quantities of the rum we obtained in the Caribbean last month have been used to make rum cakes - large and small. Then there are these little blobs of meringue with mini-chips in 'em - they're like a weak excuse to eat semi-liquid chocolate.

Little baskets and tins and tags and decorative froo-froo and festooneries have been used by the schmedlets for the distribution of this high-caloric output.

And we have washed every damn dish in the kitchen at least 3 times and I can't count how many times for mixing bowls, cookie sheets, spatulas and measuring devices. Wiped the counters down over and over and over and over... Had to run a load of dishtowels in the washer just to keep up. Both ovens have been on 350 or more all day, which wasn't too bad considering the temperature today was in the low 50's and dropping.

Can it be inferred that my life is sad because I use my oven for little more than making frozen pizza?

Au contraire!

According to followers of Dudism, Dudist priests - whose lives are anything but sad - prepare that sacramental dish as part of their frequent religious observances, commonly served with a frothy drink made from partially decomposed grains and yeast.
