Just when you think you're out...

We have a dilemma. Yesterday Sparklestone started a discussion about us all being slackers for not blogging on weekends. I followed up with a well played comment reminding him that some people have a real life on weekends. Unfortunately, Miss Kate attributed me with having an idea that might have been better than Sparky’s, and wouldn’t you know it, he got his little feelers hurt!

So today Sparklestone says he’s “taking a day off from blogging.” I’m certain Miss Kate would much rather he take a break on a weekend than on a Tuesday for crying out loud. The blogshpere has been challenged. I know he’ll be reading this, even if he says he won’t be posting. We need somebody to find a way to call him out today. We need Captain Underpants, the crackhead, RVP, red, j, and anyone else in blogland to come up with something to provoke dear old Sparklestone.

He’s a blog addict so it shouldn’t be tough. I’d do it all myself, but I can't think of anything good right now, and I’d rather not have to bring up the Coates Hall glory hole. I have a vague memory of some drunk spraining their ankle in Austin, but I can’t remember if that was him or not. I still get him confused with that other guy from grad school.

I am surprised sparky hasn't posted a blog yet about how he thinks grits & polenta are the same thing. It's really quite tiresome when he rattles on & on about it! He's such a rube!

Did you know he told me once that if I locked my keys in my car I could call SB, and she could point her electronic door opener at the phone and it would unlock the car?

I found a dozen articles explaining why this is untrue, but he just didn't get it.

Hey Sparklestone, do you still make those cute little homemade biscuit thingies with the holes in the middle? I hear they're good with spaghetti.

Very good stuff here! Unfortunately, I think we all know that Sparkle's resolve can withstand your slings and arrows. That's not to say you need to stop trying!

Methinks sparky's resolve will break as soon as he hears about Sylow's toenail collection on the web. He'll be begging for the URL!!!!

That was a digital library of toenails, crackhead. And Sparklestone begged me to let him catalog them by taste, bouquet, and overall cleanliness.

He did get an A in cataloging after copying my homework you know.

Sparky is no Gail H., you know.

Maybe he will want to talk about his countryboy days out on LI. I love that story about how they didn't have a dog, so his sisters used to make him fetch sticks. Sparky still loves sticks!

You win Sparky. I thought you'd jump at the chance to publicly clear your name. I'm not usually wrong, but then again you rarely make sense.

My thanks to all who tried.
