It's a good day to fall in love

You may have noticed that I don't maintain a blog roll besides the RSS feed on the side here. Don't take this to mean that I'm not paying attention out there. If you've commented here, I've been reading your blog.

I used to try to highlight bloggers wherever possible because the truth is, blog rolls don't do you folks justice. You're all absolutely wonderful and deserve all the attention you get. So here's my promise to you. Once or twice a month, I will feature some of you to help spread the word of your collective greatness.

Today's batch was chosen at random from blogs that I found more recently (in the past month or two). Want to get in the next batch? Write a post with a genuine Whack-a-Mole reference in it and email me (ben[dot]boudreau[at]gmail[dot]com) to let me know. I'm dead serious. Do it and I will covet you.

Otherwise, please get your dose of hilarity today from these amazing people!!

Alice @ Alice in Averageland: She's sexy! She has impeccable grammar and shoes! She talks about sex toys!
Alice: Got a package yesterday...how was your week?
O/N: Good for you! Guess this means I’m out of a job :-(
Alice: Hardly. I ordered them in a drunken stupor, plus it’s more fun with someone else
O/N: Yeah, don’t hurt yourself

Dan @ The World Needs a Hero: He's hilarious! He's part of the Chicago blog-superhero troupe! He plans awesome staff events!

What ever happened to depantsing your boss on his last day and watching your
people hang his undies from the flag pole while I laugh to myself and sip on a
Stella?

Rachel @ I'm a Mom in Real Life: She drinks! She lets me guest post! She has a daughter who is bound to cause her trouble!

Cousin Jake is a little over a year older then Diana.

One day I caught them slow dancing;"You guys dancing?"

"No we are marrying."

Naturally I don't trust the little bastard.

Crissy @ Crissy's Page: She loves the gays! Her daughter pees at random! She is practically Carmen Electra!

Matt @ A View from 5280 ft: He has a sensitive side! He drinks it away! He marinates in farts!

I got up…said “Fuck Man,” and he laughed. That was probably the part that pissed
me off. I understand, dudes fart sometimes. But it’s not funny when you are in a
small dry room with the heat cranked all the way up.

RS27 @ Your Beard Is Good: His comments make me snort! He's brown and exotic! He loves Miley Cyrus!

Now in the store about 5 people are looking at us. I would like to think it's
because I look like M. Night Shymalan's 4th cousin removed, but mostly it's
because Miley Cyrus is being yelled throughout the store while I stand there and
wonder if bashing my friend over the head with a margarita mix bottle is assault
in California.

bits...

Maxie said...

I agree-- all of those blogs rock my socks.

Essentially Me said...

I'm pretty positive that the majority you've mentioned are blogs I started reading a few weeks ago because of you. Yes, I blame you.

Rachel said...

I think I will require someone to write wonderful things about me every morning, it's better then a cup of coffee!

Thanks!

P.S. you got a guest blogger award Sunday http://mominreallife.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-am-alive.html

(Un)popular said...

A whack-a-mole reference? You got it!

JB said...

Aaaaaaaaand my fat blogroll is now thanking (cursing?) you for adding more feeds to it. I think it's a good thing, since it takes me now all morning to catch up on blogs. Catching up on blogs = less time pretending I like my job and do work.

Kristen said...

It's an honor to be mentioned!

yay!

Thanks Ben!

I'm going to check out some of those other guys too. I know a few of them but not everyone.

Matt said...

Thank you for the mention!

You know your blog is tops in my book.

Or if you didnt know....

Now you do.

verybadcat said...

I love Matt. That is all.

Lauren said...

Ah! What great blog shout outs! New ones for me to read!

brandy said...

Awesome! I love it when bloggers highlight other bloggers. I definitely have some reading to do now...

Noelle said...

I'm thinking of getting rid of my blogroll for that very reason. Might just do it yet.

In unrelated news, I had a dream that I met you at the county fair last night, and that the only thing I could think to tell you was that you looked remarkably like your Twitter icon picture.

rs27 said...

That last guy is awesome. I am so going to click on his blog 37 times today because he deserves it.

Also I will send him money.

He would say, "thanks for the shout out."

P.S. Send girl's phone numbers.

ÄsK AliCë said...

I heart you Ben!!

Paula said...

Wow, that made me laugh! Cheers! :)

Miss Burb said...

your so awesome Ben. I love finding new blogs to read and you always have some good ones.

I have my very first guest post by MrB who's never blogged before, so if you'd stop by to leave a comment, I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to get him all the encouragement I can for him so he'll write more!

Phil said...

I just started reading Crissy's blog, on account of joining the posse of gays. I'm definitely adding these other folks, too, now.

Katelin said...

great choices, i'll have to check out the new ones. :)

L.C.T. said...

I'm impressed you keep up with so many. Isn't Google Reader a lifesaver?!

Ben said...

Alexa: The sexual innuendos are OVER. Just kidding. They're always welcome here.

Maxie: Duh. They are awesome. Like you.

Essentially: I am the pimp of the internets.

Rachel: Feel free to put me on payroll!

Unpopular: I will be seriously happy with anyone to fulfill my dream of whack-a-mole's resurgence into popular culture. DO IT.

JB: I do what I can...

Kristen: You will love. I promise.

Matt: Thank you sir.

Verybadcat: I'm with you on that one.

Lauren: More features to come, I promise.

Brandy: How else do we find each other? Well, if you're lazy like me anyway...

Noelle: That was no dream...dun dun dunnnn...

RS27: Whoa whoa whoa...this isn't a dating site. It's only for sexual hook-ups!

Alice: You too, as you may have noticed.

Paula: Happy to help!

MissB: Mr. B + Bogey = love.

Phil: haha Crissy gets me in trouble with her occasional pictures of dildos, etc.

Katelin: Definitely do that! You'll love them!

LCT: My reader actually never gets out of control but it certainly is a lot to keep a handle on!

thespottedottoman.com said...

Thanks for the links--I'll definitely go check them all out now! I've been looking for more quality reads to add to my reader.

( . )( . ) said...

I always love hearing of new bloggy fodder, so keep em coming!

JL said...

And then the pig said to the farmer: "You're such an altruist Ben and make me want to be like when I grow up" and then they ate the pig for dinner.

Happily ever after!

Ben said...

SpottedOttoman: I have more features on the way, I promise!

(.)(.): I will! I will!

JL: If you are a) calling me a pig, b) threatening to eat me, c) both, I will not be impressed.

JL said...

Ben: a) I was calling myself a pig (that can talk - this is a big deal) b) and calling you an altruist and c) I don't eat pork. I am misunderstood.

Ben said...

JL: Now you're making me feel stupid for not getting it! GET OFF MY BLOG!!!!

(just kidding. I accept any and all comments especially those that confuse and otherwise dazzle me first thing in the morning. Also, I don't eat pork either. Let's be friends.)

JL said...

I'm oddly proud that I confuse you. This was my latest goal. Now I'll have to set another one - I'm thinking take over the world, or do work today... hmmm. Decisions.

Friends it is ;)

Jenn said...

I <3 all of these bloggers and I <3 you for sharing them with the rest of the blogosphere!

Amanda said...

Chrissy's video is pure gold. I laughed like ten million times. Going to have to add her to my reader! Thanks, Ben!

Ben said...

JL: Haha don't let me get in the way of the BIG priorities!

Jenn: More features to come, yourself included, not that you need it.

Amanda: Oh prepare yourself for hilarity!
