Special Thanks to A Big Fat Slob
Not too long ago, A Big Fat Slob ordered me to post five weird things about myself. Now you might think that's a snap, but it was no small task. The only good thing about it was I was able to tag some other bloggers, like Lehigh County Redneck. Wow! Talk about naked blogging! She in turn tagged distinguished Morning Call columnist Bill Rutherford White, who had to confess he once set his hair on fire. Think about that the next time you read one of his columns.
None of this would have been possible without A Big Fat Slob. So I have to thank him for that. But I also have to thank him for naming Lehigh Valley Ramblings his blog of the week. That was very nice. I wonder if I'll get a bucket of chicken wings or pork chops or something, too.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I'm sure he'll send you ...something. By the way that's a good picture of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I stole it from BFS.
ReplyDeleteNO ONE... and I mean, no one... can make me laugh so hard that I snort and shoot coffee (or whatever else I'm drinking at the time) out of my nose like Bill White!
ReplyDeleteAny good writer (Carpenter, et al.) can make you cry. But, it takes a GREAT writer to make you laugh your ass off and roll on the floor.
Bill White is a gift to the people of the Lehigh Valley.
Thanks, Bill.
ReplyDeleteHe he . . thanks Bernie! I had a bucket of wings to send to you but, well, they looked sooooo goood, I thought, 'well, he wouldn't miss just one' and then the next thing ya know there's only a couple left and I thought 'well sending him two wings would look cheap and probably be insulting' so . . . .

BFS, No problem. I'm still very honored. And the tagging game you started led to some hilarious results here in the Lehigh Valley.
