Go Try This.

Go to:

and see where you are redirected to.

It is quite interesting and fitting.

Type it in yourself or use the link and you get the same results.

(Update: www.ugly.com has changed this link. At the time of my posting, if you clicked on the link, it took you to John McCain's Campaign web page. It has changed now, so the joke and the mystery don't make a hell of a lot of sense now.)

"THE CAT AND THE MOON"
By: W. B. Yeats - 1919

.
The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top,
And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance?
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
Has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.

The Same Or Better?

The TOP-TEN reasons

Pumpkin Carving

is the same as sex:

.

10. It's somehow connected to all the little brats

running around the neighborhood.

9. You have to spend a lot of money

before you can take a nice pumpkin home.

8. The pictures you've seen always look better

than anything you can achieve.

7. The neighbors have more on their front porch

than you do in your whole house.

6. Other people seem to use fancier techniques.

5. Getting the top to come off can be very difficult.

4. The Pumpkin never moves.

3. Your hands do most of the work.

2. During the whole process you're wishing you had a bigger tool.

1. It only happens once a year!

.

.

The TOP-TEN reasons

Pumpkin Carving

is better than sex:

.

10. You don't have to support last year's pumpkin.

9. If the tool breaks you just grab another out of the drawer.

8. The pictures you take won't land you in jail.

7. You don't have to stop what you're doing if the kids walk in.

6. You can display your pumpkin carving skills on the front porch.

5. You don't have to hide your battery-powered pumpkin carver.

4. When you're done you light up a candle instead of a cigarette.

3. You can carve several pumpkins in one evening ---

and still walk in the morning.

2. Your wife lets you do it on the kitchen table.

1. It takes longer and requires many more strokes.

Don't Forget To ...

IN MY POLL.

There is a poll to the right where I would like some input. I am planning a major blog overhaul for the first of the year. I plan on doing a new format. I will be dropping some features and adding some new ones. The poll will help decide what visitors respond to the best. If something gets more votes than others I will try to do more posts like those. If something gets lesser votes, I will either do that kind of post less often or may eliminate it all together.

.

The poll choices are:

.

Iraq Stats
Struck Me Funny / Found On The Web
Kitty Lit
Platterists & Cuppers
Dinner in the Hotseat
Melancholy Memories
Songs and Music
Theme Weeks
Flowers
Politics
In My Opinion

.

You can vote for more than one.

.

If there is something else you would like to comment on that is not in the poll, feel free to add it to the comment box at the bottom of this post. If there is any other types of posts you would like to see add them to the comment box as well.

.

If you are a regular visitor, please vote or comment as I want this blog to a place you want to come back too as often as possible.

.

So go vote in the poll

.... also go vote next week in that other voting thing

that you may have heard is going on too.

Boo-A-Thon & A New Poll

I am going to be posting some Halloween themed posts from now until the 31st. It will sort of be like a quasi theme week but may be a little more sporadic. If you enjoyed the theme weeks in the past, please comment so I know if I will be doing any more.

.

.

Attention !!!

There is a new poll on the side bar.

I am trying to figure out what content is the most enjoyed.

The poll will be open for one month.

You can vote on more than one choice.

.

Around the end of the year I plan on a complete redesign of the blog with a new design and hopefully easier to navigate features.

I have already updated the link list. (IE: "Mav's Hot Spots")

I might add that there are some sites that might be considered PG-13.

I have left off any R or X rated sites.

HA!

You will have to hunt for those on your own.
