We have a problem in my small town. We are close to nothing that resembles civilization. The freebie phones that you get when you renew your evil bloodsucking contract with Cingular do not work well in environments where paved roads are a novelty. After checking my bank account and deciding, that no, I do not have the money to buy new, functional cellphones right now, I opened my email and discovered that I had won Contest Blogger’s $100 giveaway! Contest Blogger, my older son thanks you, as he will be the eager recipient of a brand spankin’ new Nokia386xxx4 or something like that–today!
Along those same lines, Angela is the winner of the book, My Job Sucks and I Can’t Take it Anymore! Help! I used Random.org as always, but I think the random generator must have snuck into the comment section before generating her number! Quitting to become a bill collector?!? Angela, I will mail this book to you pronto! You must not unleash evil into the world! By the way, Roberta the Bill Collector, I’m sorry about the time I annoying sang the ABC Song until you hung up on me. Those days are over now, as I’ve reformed my financial habits.
Speaking of the comment section, Rhodester’s comment got my attention and I moseyed on over to do some reading. I found dialog like this:
“Oh man, if you eatin gaytuh you KNOW it! That’s some good eatin theyuh. Dey’s hard ta kill too, but if ya git um unawayus yu kin sink dat knife in and slit em from da throat all da way down to da nuts and all dat gut spills out and dey is dead fastuh dan you can count tuh ten.”
I wanted to ask him if gators really had nuts, but I chickened out.. and I was REALLY curious how you sneak up on one and catch it unawares, but I didn’t get a chance to ask him about that because a pretty girl walked out of the store right in the middle of his vivid description about killing gators.
I just love it. This guy’s a riot. You’ll have to click on over to The Chronicles of Rhodester to read the entire thing.
Happy weekend, everyone!
Singing the ABC song, eh? Maybe I should try that sometimes… on telemarketers, that is.
What I’ve tried on telemarketers is:
“I can’t really decide. Let me get my dad.”
(moments later, in a different voice)
“Hi… oh, it’s not really my call, let me get my dad.”
(In an even older voice)
“Hi… oh, well, let me get…”
(continue until they give up)
Hey, it’s Snoskred back again.
A few months ago I added you to my “new blogs I am test driving” sidebar. I am dropping back to let you know I love your blog and I’m adding you to my permanent blogroll now.
I’ve moved to WordPress and the site looks a lot different, so drop by to check it out when you have a chance!
I have found some of my favourite sites via other peoples comment sections - I’ll check out that Chronicles Of Rhodester site.
Did you know there are people reading blogs who don’t know they can click on someones name to see their blog? I’m not kidding - that’s why I put my blog url at the bottom of comments. 
Cheers,
Snoskred

Congratulations to Angela, for winning the book! Maybe she can blog about it or something
Congratulations on your win! I firmly believe that if you give to others good things will eventually come your way. You’ve been giving away free gifts via your contests for several months now - it’s good to see you win something for yourself!
Wow, Bloggrrl, I’m verklempt.. I’ve never had such an enthusiastic, yet exaggerated, endorsement. I say exaggerated, because although I TRY to be “a riot” consistently, there are days when I’m not much more than a few upset people tossing sticks and saying words like “shucks”.
Me udder half (coffeesister @ http://coffesister.net) and I are looking into launching a fictionalized serial blog about life in a small town soon, and I hope you and your readers will give it a shot. It won’t be over 1500 words per post at three days a week, and it’ll be an ongoing comedy/drama that won’t end until someday when I’ve decided it’s had enough, or I have had enough of it. We’re hoping it’s underway by the end of this month, or next month, whichever comes first.
Thanks again.. YOU RAWK, as my next blog post shall aptly point out.
Rhodester and Coffeesister were my next-door neighbors when we all lived in Oregon. They are truly unique, iconoclastic, and up-and-comers in blog-city.
I found Blogggrl through Rhodester’s site, and they’re both funny, funny, funny.
