Blogorama: Sheen-free edition
Everyone else as burned out on Charlie Sheen as I am? Good. Because this week’s collection of links contain nary a single article related to his extended manic episode.
As I write this, I’m watching fights and packing for a weekend in New York City. Going to see some family members, non-related Marshalls, and my friend Brian and Marla that are like a brother and sister to me except they’re also a couple which makes it weird.
What?
Anyway, y’all hold it down here in the Capital Region and I’ll be back on Monday, when this blog will be relaunched under a new title and a new brand. That’s right! Get excited!
This week – A fighter with a heart gives a liver, bullies with bullhorns, booty in the Bible and more. This…is Blogorama.

Off-topic: I like your new avatar.
Also glad to see someone challenge the slippery slope argument used on the horse-drawn carriage post. A friend of mine sent me a link to this list of fallicious arguments:

Have a great weekend.
Hey, thanks for the mention! And, not to be a jerk, but it’s spelled “Wendalicious”. Even I’m not sure why.
WendyV – Noted and fixed!
Thanks for the mention! :) And also thanks for making this a Sheen-free zone.
