As I usually do, once the approaching New Year was... um... approaching, I began to set aside things that needed attention.
"Nah" thought I, smugly. "I'll deal with it next year."
Next year just crept up and bit me on my shapely arse, making me realize it's well into that legendary time, the time when angels will sing and all will be made right with the world and I will, yes I will with god as my witness, go through all my links and ascertain that they are indeed working links, not to mention figuring out why the hell I linked them in the first place. I'm not talking blogroll, y'all, stow your baggage and unclench your sphinckies. I'm talking that traditional catch-all of an internet closet, the Bookmarks. Favorites, for you IE folk.
Great honking piles and wallows of urls that once delighted and titillated, and now just make me wonder what the HELL was I on when I saved them. My techno-lust trend? My erotic animation trend? My curiousity trend? (Although I can say that 2004 is the year I discovered what "dirty sanchez" and "milf" mean. Holy crap, people. )
So I'll be over here, hip-deep in ten second cartoon clips and pictures of thongs that can also be used as servers, archaeologisting my past mind and looking up the phone numbers of good "rest homes."
By the way, some of this is Harvey's fault.... he mentioned guilty pleasures vis a vis links, which he got from the Other Lee Ann.... I hardly know who to blame, so in the interests of being tidy, I blame myself.
But it's a good blame.
Heh. Unclench that sphinckie, indeed.
Now, if you can just tell me what in the hell a "dirty sanchez" is, I'll consider us all square for "chewing on the stupid loaf."
And yes, I actually made that one up...didn't cop it from Robert Weaver's excellent Texas Crude (unfortunately, now out of print).
FYI, I've been lobbing BoB votes at you every day since this thing started. I likes me some cheese, yes I do! (You've been on my blogroll for months, believe it or not.)
I will reveal the book and movie later, so check back. Hint: it ain't Texas Crude.

Me, I just can't imagine that this activity is so popular that it needed a name.
Thanks, Mrs. Robinson, for instructing this innocent boy in the ways of love :-)
