Well, hello. It appears the Riverfront Times scanned this last month's worth of posts, and had to go all the way back to late April to find something that was sufficiently family friendly to put in their paper. Well, the family-friendly first few pages of their paper, as opposed to the back of their paper.
Usually, I honor an influx of new readers by blurting out shocking personal information. It's like a subconscious Turrette's tic. My subconscious blurted details of the nudification of my nether regions when it saw 300 visitors from the Ships n Dip message board. It screamed, "Shit! Hi, 200 people following a nice link from Out of Character's blog! Je-je-jesus! Here's a post with lots of profanity! Bite me!" So, of course now that the RFT tapped me as Blog O' the Week, I figured today would be filled with wildly inappropriate blog material that I could not resist posting.
Nah. I got nothing. Especially if you are looking for posts that would live up to the expectations of RFT readers - I mean, what would shock them? There's a section of the RFT devoted to voodoo and phone sex ads.
By the way, Everyone Who Visited from the RFT Web Site, I saw You ALL go immediately to the Great Hall of TMI category. I heard "Diets? Yawn. Wait - 'Must be 18 to enter?' Is she naked or something?" Instead, all they got was this, and if you don't click the links that's pretty boring too.
I guess this type of thing might interest a limited number of RFT readers. I don't know.
What bothers me about the RFT blog of the week award is that's there's no way to know you're the blogger of the week until you get the flood of hits from RFT's site.

Some of us weren't so thrilled to be featured, either (like, um, me). Back in those days (early 2004) they went about "outing" people, as well.

Can I just say I nearly died when I saw you had graced my blog with a comment today?! I have been reading yours for about a month and it makes me laugh every time. Thanks for being so funny!

Kathy - Sadly, Thursday was the day Typepad decided to give me a graph with my stats so they didn’t count stats that day.
Christy – Yeah, I know, wasn’t there a guy who worked for the Post who lost his job because of it? But yours doesn’t use your last name (except for veiled town-related references) so you should be safe. They were nice enough to leave my first name out of it even.
Faythe – I love your blog, especially your American Idol recap.

Gotta say, Miss Queen, my dad read that article. He thinks the post is funny, is glad he's not "manbitch" and is perfectly capable of pronouncing "mediocretia".

Hot Mom -
But, your Dad is a genius.
