I had no earthly idea the LOLcat of Death post at mental_floss was so popular. Sure, it got a lot of comments, but it was only yesterday that I checked to see if there were any other sites linking to it. There were 56 on Technorati. What? So, I checked, yes it was on Digg, with 2758 Diggs! I may be late for the party, but I still appreciate it. Now, if I could only come up with things that popular for MY site... but then again, no one would have submitted it to Digg if it were on this site!
Yesterday, it took me almost an hour to pick all the ripe tomatoes in my garden. I kept filling bucket after bucket. And I know it will be the same tomorrow. My refrigerator is full, my window sills are full, there are baskets and buckets of tomatoes laying about, and I have some ripening outside because there’s no room inside. Meanwhile, I’m making stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato soup, and salsa as fast as I can. That’s why I haven’t kept up with the normal blogs I visit. Please accept my apologies. But I’ve been doing the minimum amount of surfing neccesssary to pay the bills, and I’ve collected some right nice links for you this week.

Stickman. A really sadistic game I played over and over. Grab the stickman by the head and throw him down the stairs. You get points for how much damage you inflict upon him. Ouch!
SCRIPTURE
(via Hoss posting at It’s A Raggedy Life)
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder.
She caught him burglarizing her home of its valuables and she yelled: "Stop! Acts 2:38! Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven."
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture at you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an ax and two 38s!"

BAR JOKE
John was sitting outside his local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling good about himself, when a nun suddenly appears at his table and starts decrying the evils of drink.
"You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin! Alcohol is the blood of the devil!"
Now John gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the offensive.
"How do you know this, Sister?"
"My Mother Superior told me so."
"But have you ever had a drink yourself? How can you be sure that what you are saying is right?"
"Don't be ridiculous--of course I have never taken alcohol myself"
"Then let me buy you a drink - if you still believe afterwards that it is evil I will give up drink for life"
"How could I, a Nun, sit outside this public house drinking?!"
"I'll get the barman to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will ever know."
The Nun reluctantly agrees, so John goes inside to the bar.
"Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks", then he lowers his voice and says to the barman "and could you put the vodka in a teacup?"
"Oh no! It's not that Nun again is it?"

I decided to try, try again next year. I want to get one of those baskets that grow tomatoes hanging upside down. Have you ever tried one of those?
