You kept reading? How sweet! I decided to be super nerdy and go hunt through RYS and put their links here as well. You don't like it? I can't find a duck, but if you don't like links, go Google a duck picture and feel some tranquility, unless Compound Cash made some fine duck hash. When is he supposed to take over the joint? Are we still in Utah?

Man, RYS is pretty screwed up. Entries show up individually and as pages of three postings. It ain't pretty to search for, so if I missed some articles, I do apologize.
Fun retrospective, Maybelle. Your initial kerfuffle was one of many at CM that I have missed by being absent for a week. That would explain why I didn't offer you a welcome last April. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGreat work and happy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI remember the kerfluffle and also remember thinking, "Why the kerfluffle?"
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, Maybelle. I always enjoy reading your posts, even if I don't comment on them.
Funny collection! Happy day.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's considered bad form to post with comments off; it just is. But it was your first posting, and I'd say the kind of attention and support you've gotten from a number of community members more than makes up for any small twinge of kerfuffledom.
I really prefer the cow. Love the cow.
ReplyDeleteRight now poor Maybelle looks like she's wearing an erection.
I thought it was a bloody, extracted molar with arms, feet, and a head.
DeleteEww. To that I prefer the erection.
DeleteA 10-stapler salute to your CM anniversary, Maybelle! May this year be less miserable than the last!
ReplyDeleteHear, hear!
DeleteRe: the new graphic. Do staplers reproduce? If so, why can I (and my students) never find one when I/we need one?
ReplyDeleteCal has twice posted that graphic he loves so much, the woman with a stapler as torso & legs, and each time people have registered their displeasure.
ReplyDeleteSince he's a big big baby (and only a mediocre golfer, zing), he has taken it down and retired it to the great Picasa Hall of Fame of Images Even Too Awful For This Blog.
Thanks everyone! I was out of town (and there was NO WIFI ... the HORROR) for a few days, so it was nice to come back to the compound.
