My Four Things
I’ve been tagged by fellow-blogger Joel Garver to produce lists of four for the categories below. Narrowing down to four is actually more of a challenge than the typical “top ten” list, but here goes:

Knowing your affinity for the comfort of a warm abode, I don’t think you would want to be at Old Camp in January! You might as well be at winter snow camp in less than a tent. But if you did go, I’d be right there with you (we can ski out to the island).
January 22nd, 2006 at 9:26 pm
Well…there’s a fireplace there…and I can think of other ways to keep warm!

Hey _steve…let’s break the Internet rules and make you my fifth tag! (Who enforced these Internet rules anyway? Is it the same deity that brings you bad luck if you don’t forward the pictures of cute kittens to your fifteen closest friends?)

Oh I see how it is…completely ignore me, and then try to throw me some cheapass last minute recognition to make up for it?!?!?
If you think that’ll work on someone like me, well you’re damn right. WOOHOO!!! RECOGNITION!!!

Wow, Steve is prone to CAPS lately.
Mmmm … fish stew sounds greaaaaaaat.

I’m almost insulted that you don’t visit my fansite daily, which, by the way, has a new format.

Sam,
There was no category for Four Sites You Visit Hourly.
So let’s all head on over to D Y O B M A S (its Sam Boyd spelled backward, get it? Isn’t that just the cleverest?>

I keep on changing the template on samboydfans.blogspot … trying to get the perfect template for the perfect cause

I think it needs a .wav file of trumpets blaring, like when a king enters the room.
January 24th, 2006 at 12:21 pm
Oh…and revolving crosses. I forgot the revolving crosses.

As long as they’re butt-trumpets, like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s, animated segues.
[This has been your obligatory MP&tHG reference of the day. We will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.]
