Carnival of the Vanities #175
The 175th weekly edition of the Carnival of the Vanities is now up at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.
Some of my personal favorites from this week’s selection:
- I remember the Iranian Hostage Crisis, but January 20, 1981 tells a couple of stories I haven’t heard before.
- Nurses are people, too. They eat, drink, love, laugh, and play devastatingly morbid practical jokes on each other.
- Steven Silvers tells what happens when the Internet generation wakes up and realizes what is meant by the phrase “your past may come back to haunt you.”
- Jack Bauer is tougher than Chuck Norris, according to The Nose on Your Face.
- Thinking of switching political parties? Multiple Mentality has some life experience to share with you.
- Finally, my favorite for grossest thing I’ve read all week: Gym Nauseam.
Plus, I may have (ahem) submitted a teensy-weensy little post of my own. Modesty forbids.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Whew! I had a lot of catching up to do! Apparently I am retarded and I linked to one of your articles (about not being allowed at the sci-fi conventions–hilarious) instead of your main site. Every time I would check back I’d just get that article and I assumed you hadn’t gotten around to blogging something new. Like I said, retarded. It’s fixed now and I’m happily laughing my ass off. (Thanks for the links, btw.)
Thanks for the links? Heck, thanks for the material. Write what you can and steal the rest, I always say. Maybe it might get me a book deal and a controversial live admission on Oprah.
I saw that yesterday! I never watch Oprah, but I had to watch yesterday. I read A Million Little Pieces when it first came out and I read the sequel My Friend Leonard last summer. It is disappointing that he lied (and I’m glad he got called on it), but it’s still a really great read.
Good luck with the Oprah deal. Just remember us little porn-mongers that you stepped on to get there.
