See how nice and uncompetitive I was to give EXPAT an opportunity to make about 6 posts in response to my question?

11/11/11 is so last year!

The job rightfully belonged to Elizabeth Warren, but Obama did not have the balls to support the woman who created the whole thing.

Sometimes clothes make the man. But yes, I do occasionally look at your blog. I even wrote to you one time but you did not respond.

Well, at least you will have them watching to the end!

But what about the contest? Do we get a bye for the day? Not fair to let weaker fingers have a break, is it?

Yes, congratulations to MsGuy. No person from Mississippi has ever spelled so many words correctly! 1500 posts! I am so impressed, I am thinking of starting to post myself. But could I ever get to such an auspicious number? (Post all in good fun. I really do appreciate MsGuy's contributions and join in the congratulations with sincerity!)

Honey, we are in a contest! Trash-talking is the norm in these things. If I said that I loved you, folks might think we aren't serious about competing!

I never thought I'd see the day!

Formerly closeted airman Randy Phillips has taken to You Tube to help us all get in shape. Andy Towle says that Randy would someday like to open his own gym. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP_S2bc1r7E And here is the video that went nationwide as soldier Randy asked his father if he still loved him after coming out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hnrp73StWA

One reason might be that he keeps finding just the right pictures. This tribute to DADT involves "His airman, my Marine." And ain't it a sweet one? Check out towleroad.com.

And my favorite gay blogger, Andy Towle, is taken with this video, "a true New York experience" called never a dull moment on the new York subway. Take a look, cuz Andy is rarely wrong:

Blogger kennethinthe212.com sure thinks so, as he posted this video of the young man singing the Sex Bomb song on the Australia Got talent show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-d-k85kvrQ

America's leading Christian football player is now enshrined in his own stained glass window. Tim Tebow, know for tebowing, an exercise in prayer before playing in the sporting event know as football, has reached this hallowed status in Buffalo, New York, according to jimromenesko.com. Any similarities to the real Jesus are probably unintended:

Bradford Wells and Anthony John Makk have been together for 19 years. They're married and live in the Castro, but have been living under the threat of separation because Wells is a U.S. citizen and Makk a citizen of Australia. That threat ended Wednesday, when they won a two-year stay of Makk's deportation. Congressperson Nancy Pelosi had intervened as Makk is seriously ill from AIDS, and Wells is his primary caregiver.

Yes, he's a Republican. One of those guys who support God and country. Yet he couldn't be bothered to obey the law banning the carrying on of guns onto airplanes in the U.S. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, near San Bernadino, California, says he had tried to hide the gun from his wife, put it into a carry-on bag, then forgot it was there when he boarded a flight. This supporter of the sanctity of marriage would rather risk lives than tell the truth to his wife. The weapon was a Colt Mark IV .45 caliber handgun, with nine rounds. The TSA says the most common excuse in the 1200 guns seized each year is "Oh, I forgot." I hope voters forget to re-elect this creep.

We've gone from an average weight of 160 to 185, according to those who really, really need to know what the average American weighs. The Coast Guard has been boarding ferries around the San Francisco Bay Area to see if they are in compliance with new federal weight regulations. The weight restrictions had not been reviewed since 1960. So, next time you super size those fries, think of your ferry boat sinking in the muddy waters just before you make it to shore!

For me, it only proves the point on the recession. Folks cannot afford to go out, so they stay home and watch stupid games on the telly.

My bad. I didn't realize that posting with cards was not unique.

Lucky is pointing out the insincerity of the guy's desire to meet us.

Yes, Virginia, EXPAT really did have those guys in his bed for Christmas.

EXPAT, I don't think that is the gist of his question. Would you have him save money on a car over a bike if it killed him to ride the bike?

One Finger, I am sorry if Santa did not bring you what you wanted for Christmas. I don't know anywhere in the rules that says that certain posts are off limits. If I had started a thread wondering what happened to BewareofNick, would you have reacted so violently? It's much the same, in my opinion. Finally, as they say, if you don't like a thread, don't read it. did I force it on you? Same thing goes for the post on Barry. Is he here? Is he a moderator? If so, why do we never hear from him? See, MsGuy, I combined your protest with One Finger's in one post. My post count be damned!

Axiom, are you saying that the summer is a really hot time?

Word is that the flooding is now stopped and things have returned to normal- except for tourism, which still lags.
