Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Best Sentence
I read a lot of stuff. Books, magazines, newspapers, funny pages, journals, articles, blogs. Every once in a great while I see a single sentence that stands out among all the rest — not only among all the sentences I’ve read that day, but that week or that month. Because of the nature of the blog, they usually pop up there. Not always.
The last sentence I really liked a lot was cobbled together by the Anchoress: “What a foppish snot.” Just damn. If that sentence was a pair of boxers, you’d have major arousal going whenever you slipped them on, and you’d change out of them at the slightest sensation of a fart building up.
That was nearly two months ago, which just goes to show why I don’t hand out awards for these things like some people do. After all, what would that be? Quote of the…month? I can go a whole year, or a good chunk of one, not seeing anything of that caliber.
So I’ve decided to go ad hoc. Best quote awards for…whenever they pop up. One-sentence quotes only. Best sentence award. Something that merits extra-special attention…one sentence long. It happens four times in a week, we’ll deal with that…it doesn’t happen again for two years, we’ll deal with that too.
Best sentence — for today. Goes to “I Don’t Like You In That Way” under the post entitled, “Eva Longoria is a Slut”. It’s actually two sentences. We’ll learn to adapt to that, because this is some creative writing worth noting:
Eva Longoria’s vagina is like that thing that Jabba the Hutt tried to throw Luke in. It’s always open and it’s always hungry.
I really don’t know from experience if this is true or not, but it jives with what little I know about her. I don’t know anything that would contradict this. Hey, she’s doing other guys, she’s never expressed an interest in me, not that I’d reciprocate…that’s good enough.
Anyway, it’s a non-issue. If she’s living like a nun, and the article is slandering her, that is highly skilled slander. Nothing like a Star Wars analogy to describe someone’s sex life.

[…] A month ago I had passed out a citation for best sentence and, by implication, made a resolution to keep on doing it. I have a lot of habits; some are good, some are bad. This strikes me as one of my better ones. It has not escaped my notice that when I take on a new habit, the more it has to do with absorbing lessons from others, the more likely I am to look back on the habit and regard it as a good one. […]
