A description of my blog. http://www.my-site.com 3635386457813952610 Thursday Shout Out: Thinking Bloggers 2007/04/#3635386457813952610 2007-04-26 I've been accused of a lot of things, but this is a new one. I have now been accused not once, but twice, of making people think. I'm sorry, I don't know what what wrong. Shrink Wrapped Scream said that I write with "acidic irony." I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds dangerous, like maybe I should be wearing gloves or something. And then Mr. Fabulous from Pointless Drivel goes and says that he envies my "prose." I didn't even know I was writing prose. What the hell is going on here? Somebody hold me.

So I guess now I'm supposed to name five bloggers who make me think. So let's see. There's Jocelyn from O Mighty Crisis, a pro whose prose is to my prose as my prose is to Fab's prose, proving my prose a prosaic pose.

Then there's Al's blog, Up the Hudson with Gun & Camera, which is all about exotic places that I've never been to, like Central Park and the Statue of Liberty and stuff. Also there are questions, just like on a 5th grade social studies test, which I take about as seriously.

Thud Factor covers a variety of topics, but I particularly enjoy his posts on religion and spirituality. And he enjoys the fact that at least one person enjoys those posts.

O Ceallaigh's Felloffatruck Publications is also a bit of a hodge-podge of stuff from a guy who seems to have so much going on deep within his brain that sometimes I get the feeling when I read his blog that I'm seeing bits of the Loch Ness monster surfacing from the depths. I know all the slimy bits and pieces fit together somehow, but I can't quite figure out how.

And finally there's Doug from Waking Ambrose. I haven't made it over to Doug's blog for a while because dammit, he actually makes me think too much. I feel so much pressure to come up with a clever comment on his updated Devil's Dictionary items that sometimes I just can't risk going over there. Who can afford to spend three hours staring at the computer screen trying to redefine the word eccentricity?

Boy, with all the thinking I'm doing, I may have a shot at becoming the world’s smartest man.

So the rules of this meme are:

a) People should respond to this if, and only if, they are tagged.

b) Those who have been tagged should now list five blogs that they themselves find makes them think, as well as also including a link to this post, so that people can easily find the origin of this award.

I'll see you tomorrow with the conclusion of my run-in with the law. And don't forget to vote in the caption contest. If you don't see a voting button under the contestants' names, just click on the black area underneath. There's a button there somewhere; it's just hard to see. I'll post the winners on Saturday.
