The Kinks? I don't remember the album name (unless it was the same). I never was a huge Kinks fan...

Yup. It was indeed the Kinks. Covered by Van Halen, David Bowie and Elton John (shudder).

1 point for Clancy. Anybody got the album?

The Kink Kontroversy?

That's the one. A point for Sue!

Now y'all have to work for the points. Start naming posts, folks. ;-)

I was thinking "where have all the cowboys gone?" by that Sara McLaughlan woman.

As for posts, I liked the dodge/uterus one. Especially cuz the last commentor got his panties in a twist. Also the very first 'Pimp my Ride', because the ruse never gets old.

My ... err ... well not really my favorite, but one that made me spray tea all over my monitor and keyboard:

Dreaded Post You've All Been ... er ... Dreading

Favorite line: "This way there is no chance of repeated premature [ass]gasget sinkage."

Also have to vote for "Kids say the darnest things " but i see it's already there...

I second clancy's nom. Honestly, I'll read that one whenever I need a pick me. Makes me laugh so hard I shake and tear-up.

Those are both good ones shank, but I'm looking for the creative original writing ones. The Dodge one is popular but it wasn't mine and the Pimp My Ride posts don't stand well on their own.

Ah, Clancy picked a winner. That one will definitely go in the pot. A point for Clancy!

(I'll do all the points at once at the end. No, I don't know when it'll end except definitely before the weekend.)

Just read the post that Clancy nominated and I have tears in my eyes and I'm kind of shaking from repressed laughter. Excellent choice, y'all.

Personally I don't think that just one post should be nominated.

I nominate Writer's Noose.

Now that was a classic. You fooled everyone.

Good one, Tiffani. I manually rammed it (that begs the question - can you 'womanly ram' something?) into the Best of list but it needs an actual post tuned in so it'll show up in the category list.

A point for Tiffani!

I pick, since you've nixed the dodge ,
Why do elephants paint their toenails red?
I mean I pick that one. The question mark is yours.

An excellent choice, Rachel Ann, but it's already in the 'Best of' category. We need fresh meat.

Damn. You mean not only do I hafta go all through your archives (because my memory is bad, yo) looking for past favorites but on top of that then I must make sure you haven't already included it?

Fine. "Am I A Whore, a Slut, or a Capitalist?" I know it's maybe not like a short story or whatever, but I love the conversations you have with Doppel-G. Love I tell you, with all my heart. You guys play well off each other, and that one is just hilarious.

What a slave driver! Okay, I went back and looked.

I liked this because it was short, sweet and ever so true!
A Bit of Wisdom

and
Three weeks, one signature.
Because sadly there are only 6. April, May, June, July. Sad. very sad. But important to flag maybe. Who knows? Maybe more Muslims who hate terror will stop by and sign.

Ohh, nice selection, Ilyka. Whore, Slut, Capitalist is a winner.

The Bit of Wisdom is good but that's another one that isn't mine. I just repeated an old saying that Dopple-G reminded me of. The Muslims against terrorism one is a keeper though. I'm not sure which post should get the 'Best of' but one of them will.

A point each for Rachel Ann and Ilyka!

My other vote would be for "Random Acts of Urination"

I thought that was great.

Oh, yes. Random Acts is definitely worth a point!

Yay..two points so far....

I'm such a points whore. I love it.

I hope you're happy, Mr. Peacock. I actually have a notepad doc on my desktop now, "JimsBestOf.txt." Lordy lordy but I'm a lazy one.

Anyway. I would also like to nominate " ">Learning to Speak." It dovetails nicely with "Kids Say the Darnedest Things," and I've never looked at trucks quite the same way since.

Yeah, I can close a bracket . . . shit. Learning to Speak.

I am indeed satisfied now. I have successfully invaded Ilyka's desktop. I am the Blog version of Nimda.

"Learning to Speak" is a winner. Nice choice. :-)

I can't believe Paula Cole is the source of a post title.

Holy cow.

Or maybe it's not actually a song! It's a trick!

I'm so bad at these games. This is why I have no points.

However, these are the gaps of knowledge for which I depend upon my Veep.

One more last minute submission...

So the other night...

It's important to have Veep that knows how to rant.

Better Paula Cole than Holly Cole! Or Cole Porter for that matter...

Good choice, Clancy. The post that launched the Tactlessly Correct movement is certainly a Best Of.

Thanks for the help, y'all. 7 posts have been rescued from obscurity thanks to your efforts. Points have been awarded and categories updated. It's a hell of a day at sea, sir.
