Happy Friday, munchkins! I admit that after last week’s numerous nominations, I feared you might forget about me this week, but you didn’t. You sent even more nominations. So many that I didn’t fit everything in this post, but please don’t let that discourage you from inundating me with them every week. Every week! Say it with me! Every week! Okay, hit the jump for my recap of the week’s posts, notable comments and–you guessed it–your Comment of the Week.
Remains of the Day
Jarrod’s blind items are here. In PhotoPhriday, BadKarma asked to see the inside of your fridge.
Lauren gave you a Hollywood Caller, and later Bots hosted the Friday Night DJ Party. In the OT, one of you was excited about an employment opportunity.
Cinco de Mayo
Delta Sierra shared some historical advertisements.
Sunday
GtCosita shared a recipe for Pasta with tuna and tomatoes. LaZiguezon took you to Five Abandoned Places, and GI kicked off a new series: This Week in Assholes. Later, Clarity83 hosted the Mad Men open thread.
Monday
Bots told you about Floyd Mayweather’s strange, flamboyant entourage. Rowen recapped Celebrity Apprentice. MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. LaZig and DQ continued their GIF biography series with a look at the life of Madonna. Clarity83 hosted the Mad Men post mortem, and Lauren deconstructed another episode of Game of Thrones. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren gave you a Hollywood Caller. In the OT, our resident Republican made the mistake of linking to a blog she was enjoying. BizMonkee took the opportunity to write an overlong post attacking said blog, trying so very hard to be funny but mostly coming up short. The internet: just like real life.
Elsewhere in the OT, you had your very own social minefield discussion.
Tuesday
Dancing_Queen started a new fashion series: The Hell is She Wering? DogsOfWar explained how to search the web stealthily. Bots’ post on Maurice Sendak’s Colbert Report appearance re-ran to honor the author’s passing. Bots told you all about the American Airlines AAirpass.
MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren gave you a Hollywood Caller.
Wednesday
Dogs asked for help creating The Modern Man Card. TS had some suggestions for how North Carolina can shove the bible further up its ass. Lauren reported on President Obama’s announcement that he supports same sex marriage. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren asked if you care that John Travolta is gay and also gave you a Hollywood Caller.
Thursday
Ska Hammer took a break from his OT philosophizing to write a great post about teaching in an alternative junior high school. Dogs told you about The Friends of Decency and their mission to ban books. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Homoviper alerted you to Bristol Palin’s most recent media whoring. Lauren told you about Jim Daly’s attempt to use Thomas Jefferson to validate his stupid opinion and also gave you a Hollywood Caller. In the OT, you discussed the new Time cover.
And one of you had great news.
Many wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery, Ross. Everyone is rooting for you.
Friday
Lucky recommended some videos for you to watch. Dogs reported on one Amurrican’s ignorant, fearful reaction to President Obama’s announcement that he would like to sodomize his way across the United States. Homoviper recommended some movies for Mother’s Day. MonkeyBiz’s political links are here. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren examined the trailer for Gangster Squad and also squeezed in a post about that Time cover. Dürer’s Rhino completed your Friday with a Ten Photos post.
COW
You are a talented group of GIF ninjas, munchkins. You always seem to have the right GIF at the right time for the right context. That’s why it’s so rare that I award COW for GIF deployment, but one of you really killed it in Tuesday’s OT. Skahammer did what he does, the number of replies grew, and HonkIfYouLikeCookies expressed in GIF form what she could not adequately convey with words alone. I give you your Comment of the Week.
Nice work, everyone!
Until next week.
