How’s your week going? A few days of fabulous weather has blessed Cincinnati, so golf was wonderful tonight. If was cloudy, comfortable temps, played with good people, and I played very well.
Otherwise, I’ve been keeping busy enough to cut into my blog visits. 😦 Plus, we received notification that handbell rehearsals start in 3 weeks!
On to your mid-week dose of satire. I’m breaking tradition this week as these are not from The Onion. Well, I wrote these about readers here. Do you know any of these bloggers? Are you one of the ten? Go ahead, make your guesses, but I will return later with the answers in a comment.
Have a good rest of the week.
1) Local Promotes Establishing Peaceful Zones on LA Rush-Hour Freeway
2) Northern Virginia Blogger Warns Against Washington Becoming Political
3) Canadian Proclaims All Trademarks, Patents, and Copyrights Throughout the World are His upon Request
4) New NYC Tour Operator Creates Giving the Finger Tour
5) Photographer Revealed to be Alien Squirrel
6) Artist Admit to Psych Ward for Producing Drawing without Breasts, Faces, or Sexual Innuendos
7) Blogger Wins World Chortling Championship
8) Stunt Enthusiast Preparing to Surf Mudslide
9) NYC Tree Decorator Uses Bag Lady as Ornament
10) Flash in Pan – not genetics or coloring – Changes Hair to Red

I am so sad that I didn’t see this post on the day you published it, Frank. These were great–I wouldn’t have been able to guess all of them since I don’t follow every one of these bloggers (will have to rectify this), but I definitely would have guessed the ones for Elyse, Guapo and Lame Adventures, and Le Clown. The one for GingerFightback is good too, but I would probably not have guessed that one because of its subtlety!
