October 22 Links

Autumn is in full bloom around here! The mountain colors are fantastic, the neighborhood smells like hickory smoke, and every time I turn around, someone is offering me Halloween candy. The houses around here are in a decorating frenzy. One household felt the skeletons, ghosts, pumpkins, and scarecrows in the yard weren’t enough, so they strung lights around the eaves. The thing is, the lights aren’t the normal orange and purple a lot of folks have, they are red and green Christmas icicle lights. Go figure. The street I live on has three, count ‘em, THREE six-foot inflatable Halloween snowglobes. And there’s only six houses altogether! Oh well, I’ve caught the Halloween bug, too. Besides the murderers, monsters, pumpkins, and zombies I’ve already posted about, this coming week I’ll have posts on Halloween candy, costumes, and skeletons.
OK, this is the LAST time I'll ask you to go to 25peeps.com and click on my face. You've been really good to me so far here, so I'll let it rest after this weekend. Thanks! Of course, I may ask a different favor next time...
If you sent one link out this week to all your friends, it’ll be this one, ‘cuz cats r funnee.

Remember the My Heritage Face Recognition program that decided what celebrity you most resembled? You might remember it paired me with Olivia Newton-John. But what if a celebrity tried it? Guitarist John Mayer did, and found he 72% resembled Jessica Lange, and 68% resembled himself.

This 5-year-old girl named Muskaan skated underneath 40 cars last week in Gwalior, India, demonstrating awesome flexibility, control, and courage. See a short clip of the stunt here. More details about her are available on this longer video from last year...when she was four!

MARRIAGE #1
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most legal evil thing I could do to him."
MARRIAGE #2
Sue and Sally meet at their 30th class reunion, and they haven't seen each other since graduation. They begin to talk and bring each other up to date. The conversation covers their husbands, their children, homes, etc. and finally gets around to their sex lives.
Sue says, "It's okay. We get it on every week or so, but it's no big adventure. How's yours?"
Sally replies, "It's great ever since we got into S & M."
Sue is aghast. "Really Sally, I never would have guessed that you would go for that."
"Oh, sure," says Sally, "He Snores while I Masturbate."
There’s some clever editing going on in this Tony Blair music video. (via Arbroath)

I went to check out my account at The Truth Laid Bear Ecosystem for the first time in months. According to TTLB, this blog has no traffic, no outbound links, no posts, and no sitemeter. Something tells me they aren’t really paying attention. I managed to get halfway up the ecosystem anyway. According to them, all I have is inbound links, which show up on this pretty picture. There are sites on the outer rim that I’ve never heard of, but since the graphic doesn’t contain links, it will be hard to find them.

I got onto the front page for one of my average posts, while my heavily linked-to posts tend to fall off or barely register.
