Le rouleau des blagues: TSR's Mutual Admiration Society
Longtime visitors may have noticed that the list of blagues to the right stays a constant size. I cap the list at 20 10 to keep things rotating and fresh. But I always feel terrible when removing a blog from the list! Especially when it's someone who has been kind enough to link to TSR in the past.
So, to all the folks who've linked before, who've sent travelers in and out my door: I'm glad you came along! I dedicate this post to you, all the folks who have linked to TSR before. If I've accidentally left you out, please let me know. I'll update and annotate this blogroll as time goes on. Readers, please visit these dear hearts and gentle people.
But first, you must visit the Manolo! (I hope La Vilaine is reading...) The Manolo, he gives to me the good laugh:
Once, the Manolo, he saw the aging minx the Shannon Doherty coming out of the Malibu Country Market, and she had on the Uggs and the miniskirt of the denim.
Perhaps she saw the Manolo frowning at the ugliness of her feetwear, for she scowled at the Manolo as if to say "you are the insect who is not worthy to gaze upon the shoes of the Shannon Doherty."
The Manolo, he was all whatever biotch, I am the Manolo, and your shoes, they are ridiculous. You are the woman approaching the middle age, but you insist on dressing like the 12-year-old.
Manolo says, do not be the Shannon Doherty. Do not wear the Uggs.
