The OC Recommends

It’s been a busy week at Ominous Comma Headquarters. Among the Comma Clan there have been birthdays, more birthdays, an engagement, and a quickly approaching departure to a foreign land.

The Rock snuggly nestled upon the finger of Little Miss Ominous

The Rock – We’re thinking of calling it “Dwayne.”

In spite of this furry of activity, I have written several posts. Unfortunately I have been unable to infuse them with the magic required for them to fly free on their own, and so I’m keeping them in the nest with me until they mature.  Sometimes good blogging requires tough love.

Anyway, to make sure people know I haven’t forgotten about them, I am throwing up these recommended links that I have found to be thought-provoking.1

-

  • SlowBlogging – This article not only validates my less than prolific writing pace but also reassures us all that even in the blogosphere some people value quality of quantity.
  • Ever wonder who’s really behind all the painful programming on christian television? Certainly not God, he’s got better taste than that. Discover the horrible truth in the stunning expose TBN Run By Atheists.
  • How can you help undisadvantaged children overcome the spiritual hardships inherit in a culture of assumed wealth? Sponsor an Affluent Child. (Via Ariah.)
  • You’ve heard of the highschool crush, you may have felt a man-crush, you’ve possibly even sampled the citrusy sweetness of Orange Crush, but have ever experienced a bloggy crush? Well you should. After all, it is about time I ended up at the top of somebody’s list…other than the FBI.

That’s all I have for now, but what about you? What issues have got you thinking lately?

  1. Doctors are unsure as to why I throw up links, some say it is Acid Reblog Syndrome, other think it’s somehow hereditary. Most of them are more concerned as to why I keep passing comments in my stool. «

Issues? Are you saying I have issues? Pfffft. Great. You probably think this dress makes me look fat too, huh? Don’t you?

I’m not surprised that you’re the object of someone’s bloggy affections. But I am troubled that you are having furry activity. It keeps making me think of muppets, although I’m sure that wasn’t your intention.

Congrats (again) on the engagement!

Congrats! Did you pop the question at Rendevous Ribs? I hope so.

Hey, isn’t today Elvis’s birthday? That’s gotta be a city-wide holiday in Memphis, right?

Issues? Chief found motivational poster parodies from The Stinker posted on another forum. With no credit given to The Stinker and no link-back. Chief was pissed, big heap. Went on warpath. Needless to say, there is now an additional scalp hanging on Chief’s office wall.

Steph -I’m going to take the fifth on that one. In fact I’ll let my shirt speak for me.

Evil evil pants shirt

Roann -Hell hath no Furry like a woman with a spellchecker.

muskrat -It wasn’t me popping the question. The ring in question belongs to…my daughter.

A Status report on the Comma Clan

Man, that makes me feel old.

Chief -Plagiarism is a tax on quality. If you were writing crap no one would steal it.

I always knew something was up with TBN. Thanks for the expose (I’m too lazy to look up how to put in the accent mark, although as much time as I spent on this parenthetical remark, I could have found it, oh, well).

Meg doesn’t have very good taste, does she? Muskrat AND I were both there too.

Dwayne is lovely.

I really like that you say you’re at the top of the list and just disregarded the ‘in no particular order’. Nice work though anyway. So the youngens getting married? She looks twelve.

That ring is such bling I had to look away so I wouldn’t go blind!

Don’t show my daughter…she would be sooooo jealous! (She’ll be 16 Sunday…OMG I am OLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD).

Unfinished Rambler -Meg has most excellent taste, TBN not so much.

Sher -You’ve been through this, right? Is there any sanity at the other end?

Alex L. -Any order that starts with me can’t really be random, now can it? And yes my baby still seems like a baby to me.

Congrats on get the first out of the house. At least yours only needed to be distracted with a shiny object. I had to use the trebuchet to get rid of my oldest.

thanks for the link friend.

Fred -Now when you say sharing, please keep in mind that my daughter is not likely to part with The Rock.

Chris non-C -Having learned from her example, my other two have bolted themselves to the furniture to prolong their free room and board arrangement.

Ariah Fine -Thanks for all the thought provoking material, both on your blog and your tumblr feed.
