Time for another bonfire folks--a collection of voluntarily submitted terrible posts from people around the blogosphere. Because deep down, there's little in life more entertaining than the chance to laugh and point at someone else's folly. And so, without further rambling, let us begin.



From Interested-Participant, a simple question for the members of PETA. My answer to his question: tap dancing.

RIGHT WINGNUTHOUSE swims against the flow to make some anti-predictions for 2005. My favorite of his "Headlines You Won't See" is MICHAEL MOORE EXPLODES. If only...

From WuzzaDem, a post for which he can't remember what he thought was funny.

Centerpiece presents the bonfire-worthy-titled post "Listen Up Stupid Liberals." I'm sure that'll get their attention.

Dodgeblogium's submission is a link to quite likely the most blasphemous time waster ever invented.

The Chainik Hocker makes the fatal mistake (we all make it at some point) of posting while too tired to think straight. First sign that you're posting when you should be catching up on sleep: when you start your post off with a disclaimer about how you're posting when you should be catching up on sleep. Read it twice folks, the sentence works.

Ghost of a Flea's submission for this week is, no kidding, about having sex on Mt. Everest. Speaking of which, I just discovered this week that Sir Edmund Hillary is still alive. Betcha didn't realize that.

The Flying Space Monkey Chronicles has run out of time it would seem.

Espresso Sarcasm live blogs New Years Eve. Hint: it's never a good sign of a healthy social life when you're blogging midnight on New Years Eve.

mad anthony bemoans the cruel capriciousness of blog traffic.

Carpe Bonum submits a blog post full of broken links. But he assures us it was moving.

And finally, Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has writers block. No really.

I don't have a submission of my own, but I do have a completely random story for you. A few days ago as I was rooting through my spam folder for my GMail account for the first time in months, I came across what is quite simply the weirdest email I have ever received. Attempts to respond resulted in immediate email bounce-back, so I was unable to delve further into the mystery. Here, in its entirety, is the email:

From: Simpson R. Egotism
To: Incite
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2004 09:18:45 -0600
Subject: Denise

smattering

I thoroughly checked the email for stealth-spam elements, but found it to be entirely clean. And there you have it folks: the 79th consecutive Bonfire of the Vanities.
