In the spirit of tabloid magazines, bloated pundits and clueless critics, I have decided to post my Top 11!! of 2009. I like some things and I don't like other things. It wishes and washes. My list is a reflection of my jene sais qua. If I don't mention you it's probably because I love you.
11.) The picture to the right on the front page. What is that? Appetizers? It looks like the mozzarella got drunk in the mouth of an amputee frog and collapsed in a bloody mess. Every day, this ruins my appetite.
10.) The Search function. I remain content with crossword puzzles and Sudoku which are easier to solve then the challenge of SEARCH.
9.)Turducken. All you Foodie Tuesday freaks talk about food - but no mention of the culinary feat known as Turducken. Footuesders need to get on the ball. (footuesders -heh heh.)
8.) TOPIC. If you have ever searched by topic please PM me your story and I will get you on a talk show.
7.) Snakes. There are far too few posts about snakes. Step up, blogifiers!
6.) The hour (EST) between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m when it all dissapears. Where does it go? WHERE DOES IT GO!
5.)Pirate Wimmen
4.)Monsieur Chariot. My favorite person on OS, although I know this will make him blush. We can all learn by his example.
3.)Heated debates. I celebrate the heated debates and wonderful discussions and reasoned arguments here. Let's all continue to discuss and discuss and discuss. Until we fall down.
2.)Community. Until and while we fall down and get up and do it all again.
1.) That's for you to decide. Tell me in a comment.

Ramesh is missing from your list. Why? Poor Ramesh.

I agree with you about the food photo on the home page. What the hell is it? Are they using an image from one of surly's vintage recipe cards?
I feel snow and ice whipping me into a morose and unconscious mental condition. It's the wicked chill in the winter wind. Saturn visits with woe. and bad omens. My toes, fingers, and my ears are falling off. The voice sounds like a cold tuna can jangling in the Wall Street curb. It's a quiet corpse. Elite well-to-do got a season snake-pitt bonus? Ice cycles.
The stolen paperclips,
robed #2 @ rubber eraser?
robbed orange lead pencil?
The clanks of paper clips?
Cleats on the shoes soles?
Dapper Wall Street Fancy.
We will survive? I Hope so.
As the originator of the originality of the term, I am pleased and amused that you have honored us so. Extra cases of premium Rum will be on your doorstep, indeed. Yarrr.

I never follow trends.
I love this post EXCEPT for the snake part. ohhhhhhh, I am so ascared of snakes. Sooooo ascared. (I'd pray if I was a prayin' womyn.)
Take care, doll. Love to you.
Mr. Hand is giving your pizza away! Mmmmmmmm, yummy!

PS- I stole that musical ditty from my niece' FaceBook site and thought it would work here and it did. Yer welcome! I don't get the HTML thingy at all. I thought it was short for hotmail.
My dear Mlle aim ~ It is with great pleasure that I read your thoughtful selections, and I shall cherish my inclusion here. It has enlivened my solitude, as I languish in reclusion, seldom leaving my cloistral apartments in Old Hollywood.
