You may have seen the posts on SKITTLES site or over at MO’s It’s a Blog Eat Blog World about the Bobby Griffin’s site Bestest Blog Of All Time.
The site, which brought us an entire world of blog friends has disintegrated into a giant Pay Per Post site. Bobby does not seem to do daily updates and has left the nominations up to the guest reviewers.
There also seems to be a second site, allegedly run by his wife that is supposed to be about weight loss, but is anything but.
Tonight, before I even heard about this situation, we received an email from Bobby asking us to join another community that would bring me closer to other bloggers.
Now, we have a friend who has blasted this site as a scam in the past. We saw some of their points, but felt others were not as important. Yes, we have paid for a premium ranking when THE COUCH was named Bestest.
It felt kind of wrong, but we figured, it was how things were done. When we became a user of the site way back when, our traffic went up, but more importantly, we found new friends.
It is unfortunate that a great idea seems to have become a grab for the dollar.
As others have done, we are pulling the Random Button off THE COUCH and the link to Bestest is also going.
We will not remove the Badge that announces that THE COUCH was named BEST BLOG OF THE DAY on January 18, 2007. Why you may ask?
Well for a simple reason. Our nomination was made by Starrlight, (who has been missing way too long)one of the special people we met through the Bestest site. She was allowed to name anyone and she named THE COUCH. In doing so, she wrote some words that touched us. If we were to take the badge off my site it would feel that we were dishonoring her and that would be wrong.
Everyone has to make their own decision on this. This is my decision.
Recently, a meme has been going around called the Thinking Blog Award. Some of our friends have been honored with this award and we have read their posts and been touched and educated by them.
Our good friend Travis was awarded this honor and his post was quite enlightening.
He pointed out that the originator of this meme seems to have a disdain for bloggers who have fun with their blogs. That all blogs are supposed to be serious endeavors…
Well, we are going to continue in our ways… hope Bobby comes to his senses and comes back from the dark side and continue to write for our enjoyment with the sincere hope that you also have fun when you come over and sit…
So, Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental drug overdose. Of NINE different prescription drugs including a powerful sleep syrup she was known to swig out of the bottle.
When we saw this yesterday, the vision in our mind was of Howard K. Smith's hand down her throat shoving pills in saying "OOPS, sorry that was an accident."
How many people have to go from an "accidental" overdose while this guy is around before someone starts to scratch their head ans say "HUMMMMMMMMMMM?"

Baseball starts in SIX DAYS.... I am totally pissed at Major League Baseball. They have solidified their deal with DirectTV as the exclusive carrier of their MLB package. This impacts us now that we are not in the NY market and can't see the Yankees whenever we want.
Our only option is to buy the package that provides streaming video on our computer...There are some real good things about the cable/satellite evolution for television...THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM...BUD SELIG---You SUCK!

The next time you call the local pizza place and order the large cheese and pepperoni in the Cincinnati area, you might get something extra...a flyer attached to the top of the box with 
pictures of those slimy scum... deadbeat dads! Yup, local authorities have handed out the flyer's to local pizzerias and they are being taped to the top of boxes.
They say that only one arrest has been made, but they have seen an increase in payment of child support. We think this is an EXCELLENT IDEA!
Of course there are the detractors. The American Coalition of Fathers & Children say kids may be devastated by seeing their dads picture on the box.
OH YEAH, me thinks that these kids who are struggling to have the necessities in life will be devastated by learning their dads ARE DREGS WHO ONLY GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THEMSELVES!

We have been told by reliable sources that the following item is NOT about Bee and Sarge. It seems two passengers fell overboard from a cabin deck of the Grand Princess which was sailing in the Gulf of Mexico. They were each treated and released and have asked that the "circumstances of their fall remain private."
They fell over a foot foot high railing... hummm just high enough so that if she sat on the railing..
OH, never mind...OK, we will now allow each of you out there to imagine what these two kiddies were doing on the 4 foot railing to cause them to fall....
No, kiddies, they were not married....
