MyBlogLog Sunday 27
Filed in: MBL sunday
OK - MyBlogLog Sunday is over for another day.
Before I head off, I thought this video clip from Blue Beaver Beer would make you smile. And here's a joke I heard from a TV preacher man.
A Hindu, a Jew and a TV evangelist are traveling together. They have nowhere to stay, so they knock on a farmhouse door. The farmer says two can stay in the house, but one has to sleep in the barn.
The Hindu volunteers, but 10 minutes later there is a knock on the door. He says there is a cow in the barn, it is sacred and he can't sleep there.
"No problem," says the Jew, "I'll sleep in the barn." 10 minutes later there is a knock on the door. He says there is a pig in the barn, it isn't kosher and he can't sleep there.
"No problem," says the TV evangelist, "I'll sleep in the barn." 10 minutes later there is a knock on the door. The farmer opens the door and there is a pig and a cow.

Bloggers: if you call by next Sunday, feel free to leave a link to your best post of the week in the comments. That way, even if you don't end up being captured in the widget when I start blogging, at least you get to spread the word about your own blog.
So endeth the MyBlogLog Sunday posts for this week.

. Past post updates
Filed in: Ed's blog spot
Rather than print and forget, I thought I would post some updates of past articles.
You will be pleased to hear that the 6-legged stallion has recovered from his trip to the cutting room floor. Where once hung 2 mind-bending hormone-generating horse nuts, there is a now a clean scar. Three cheers for the vet and if anyone wants a fantastic former Arab stallion with a weird look in his eye, let me know. (And no, I am not joking, he really is for sale now!)
Talking of sale, I mentioned the weird world of classic wooden boats and how owners tend to go all gooey and irrational when they are selling their rot-infested pride and joy tub. Mr and Mrs Ed have been inspired by these folks and will be giving up their attic room next Spring so they can join this interesting fraternity. They are planning to break out of the confines of a 20 x 20 room and spread themselves all over a palatial 35 x 11 feet wooden boat of their own. Rest assured, they have made a pact not to refer to the boat as "She" and they won't be giving names to the dinghy or the radio or whatever other inorganic appliances may take their fancy.
The disappearing hyphen is still disappearing, but not as quickly as different elements of Kate's side bar. There is of course Net Disaster, the proper way to destroy a blog, and leave cow dung all over the screen.
In Tech this week, I caught Comcast engineers being incredibly anal about Health and Safety. If only they were as particular with their service as they were with their cones. Unless they work out how to provide us with a far better time in front of the TV or surfing the web, they may need to dispense with cones and erect an electric fence to protect themselves from irate customers.
Blog Rush has been slaughtered by the Money Makers, because it doesn't seem to make them money. For the rest of the blogs online, I think it is probably doing just fine, offering looping links to related posts. Or have I missed the point completely?
To celebrate 392 readers of my RSS feed, I am offering a $39 prize for the best 50-word review of any article in my RSS feed.
And tomorrow, Sunday, is MyBlogLog Sunday 27. I am getting quite a few interesting new bloggers calling by, so I am having fun discovering new places to visit, new people to read and review. If you have a blog, try and be in the last 10 to call by before I take a screenshot of the MyBlogLog widget in my sidebar tomorrow morning. If you have no blog, call by in the week, and check out 10 sharp mini reviews.
Have a good Saturday, it could be your last!

MyBlogLog Sunday week 27
Filed in: MBL sunday
More frightening than Ms Hawn was the darkness of the dead of night outside. I haven't seen 5.30 in months and I don't wish to see it again, thanks very much. On the plus side I felt remarkably awake, so I thought I would do some blogging.
The 10 MyBlogLog bloggers who last visited this site are in the screenshot and for their troubles, they will each get a mini review later on today. The wit and juicy PR5 backlink prevail, plus a link to each MyBlogLog community and a stumble for the bloggers who leave a link to their own fave post of the week.
Contest
The 25th MBL Sunday birthday contest was a bit a flop, but I have come back with a new one that has nothing directly to do with MyBlogLog Sunday!!! Blog about any article in my super x-fruits mega RSS feed, (50 words will do), send me a link to the post, and the most amusing or engaging one will win a $39 memory card for their troubles. Ends October 14th, 2 entries already. Hurry, hurry..
Permalink is permanent
Today's mini review will stay on the homepage (PR5) all week and is instantly added to the archives for a permanent PR4 back link.
