I think, therefore I blog. I think. Wait. Repeat the question?
Hey look! I got an award! And you can bet it's going in the trophy case sidebar, too. Hey! I ain't got m'self very established in this here new place yet, people! I'm still acquiring furniture and doo-dads to spruce it up. Cut me some slack.
Hillbilly Mom has bestowed upon me the Thinking Blogger Award.
That's right. I made someone think. Better yet, I made Hillbilly Mom think, and that's pretty good because you know her brain is fit from all that trivia.
Thanks, Hillbilly Mom. I'm honored someone thinks I'm a thinker. Or a think-inducer. Perhaps this can inspire me to write semi-thoughtful things in the near future. Lately, I have been very tempted to write about farts and cat turds. There was even a post on constipation that got scrapped. Anyway.
I'm now supposed to bestow the Thinking Blogger Award on five bloggers who make me think. I'm only giving it to three people, because there are only about five on my blogroll right now. Here goes.
1. Legless in Perpetuum. Rachel was the very first person ever to comment on my first blog, back in my basement days. She and I encouraged each other through the sometimes hopelessly difficult job hunt that lib arts majors must endure. I won a bet, and she actually mailed me a six-pack of Australian beer. Good stuff, by the way, even though mailing alcohol in glass bottles halfway around the globe probably broke a law or two, not to mention a bottle or three. She maintains a good sense of humor and one of the most popular blogs around, while also managing to not only be in the know about political matters, but also to have something thoughtful and reasonable to say about them. I, on the other hand, recently posted a picture of a dog hiking his leg on a Hillary '08 poster, and that is just about all the political commentary you're getting around these parts. So Legless in Perpetuum wins the Thinking Blogger Award for making me think, even though it sometimes hurts.
2. Hillbilly Mansion. That's right. And yes, I know that Hillbilly Mom won't be repeating this meme again. Hillbilly Mom makes me think. Mostly about meth heads, hundred dollar cars, and ghosts in the basement, but still. Oh, and ostensibly fictional balding male teachers who stand in doorways and pine for unnamed female teachers while contemplating whether or not he can....please her. Exercise for the brain.
3. Redneck Diva. Okay, the diva's been on my blogroll for a long time, but I recently resumed going to read there on a regular basis, and it turns out we have a lot in common. Okay, I don't have kids to write about (although I seriously can't wait to have them, if only for the blogging material) and I'm not as bold as she is. (She once blogged about having "super loud the kids are out of the house sex," or something to that effect.) We do both wear absolutely enormous panties. I'm sure that's not where our likenesses end, but this is about what blogs make me THINK, people, and I think I feel like giving it to her, so suck it.
So there. Three. If my blogroll were beefier, I'd give you five, but it's not, so I didn't.
In case you want to give this award to your favorites, these are the rules, as they were passed on to me from the Queen of Hillmomba:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think.
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

You little THINKER! You've come a long way from the days of posting that artwork of the guy with his balls coming out of his butt. I thought, perhaps, that he'd had a terrible accident, and they were reattached by a surgeon high on benadryl.
Yes, you've come a long way, Meanie. One might say you've pulled yourself up out of the basement by the waistboobs. IF one wanted to piss you off.
Yes, you do make me think. It delays the Alzheimers, I hear.

I am hurt seeing as how I am on you're blogroll but not "good enough" for you're little award.
Surely I make you think...maybe not about things you would necessarily WANT to think about...but hey..thought is thought...

Oh. My. Gosh. You are the second person that I've made think!! I am astounded. Utterly astounded. And the fact that both of you are teachers....well, that fact will cause me to never tell my mother because she's still convinced that I should teach and no WAY is that going to happen, no offense.
Anyway, my big ginormous panties and I thank you.
