December 15, 2006 at 3:04 PMWow – what a collection. I clicked through on the sexy blogger link and then on one of the comments there (I think it was nominating someone named Amy Guth – something like that). Anyway her entry (Amy’s) today was one of the oddest things I have ever seen. It was an Asian woman leading some kind of aerobics with a class of poodles (all obviously digitally enhanced). It made me wonder whether someone had slipped something into my coffee. Thanks again for a wonderful side trip, Liz. You always seem to point us in the most interesting directions!

December 15, 2006 at 3:08 PMHi Ann!
I had the most fun picking out this week’s cafe. I went for a bit of theme . . . I figured with the end of the year I was going to find a certain kind of post, so I might go with it.
That comment wasn’t there when I made the post. I’m going to have to check it out. 🙂

Guess, like anything, the more territory you familiarize yourself with, the more you can explore!
Thanks for the Cafe and its great specials.

December 15, 2006 at 9:01 PMHi Francie!
This is only the second time in my blogging career someone’s ever called me a Googlebot. I think that’s a compliment! 🙂
If you know where the good stuff hides, you know where to find it . . . it IS called the S.O.B. Cafe. 🙂
Thank you, for noticing!!!
