I'm a little late today. Had to go to church and sign paychecks and whatnot. Can you believe I'm the treasurer for an actual church that's not even a UFO cult or anything? Me neither. I have a weird life.
Anyway, I figured it was about time to promote a few more bloggers to Adjutant Inspector status. I'm selecting four bloggers this time, mostly based on how much they comment here and how much I enjoy their blogs.
- Theresa from The Rain in Spain...
- Harmonica Man from View from the Cloud
- Jami from Not THAT Different
- Wreckless from greenpiece
The powers that be will only let me promote four right now, but don't worry, if you're a loyal support of the Mattress Police you'll likely get your turn. And if you want to hurry things up a bit, you could always knock off Harmonica Man. I hear he's frail.
The responsibilities of the Adjutant Inspectors are as demanding as they are ill-defined. In fact, most of the work is in determining what exactly it is you're supposed to be doing. There's a lot of trial and error, which is amusing to me.
I'll be taking some much needed vacation from my busy fountain-building and blogging schedule to visit family (and maybe even meet Wreckless for a beer!) in Grand Rapids, Michigan starting on Monday. That means probably no posts for a week or so. I think I'm going to do a regular post tomorrow and put off the next caption contest until I get back. I'll try to post something on Monday before I leave too.
UPDATE: I've also added several blogs to my regular blogroll. If you've linked to me and I you don't see your blog on my blogroll, let me know. I'm often distracted by small shiny objects.
Also, I've just posted the review of Mad Kane's Humor Blog at the humor-blogs review site. Check it out.

One day, my friend, I'm going to learn to do a blogroll (it just sounds so exhausting), and when I do, you'll be on it.
That's the nicest thing I can tell you, really. Oh, plus you're some sort of rockin' church dude! Compliments on all fronts.
Harmonica Man better hide.
Jocelyn - Wow, I just noticed you're not an Adjutant Inspector yet. How did that happen? I'll put in a good word for you next time around.
We are fellow distractee's I'm often distracted from heck, small or large shiny objects. hehehehe
a blogroll seems less fattening than a bologna sandwich. less likely to give you gas, too.
what? oh yeah... heh heh. so, you're off to parts NOT found in Central California, eh? guessing that means there'll be no post in the Snark next week, eh Asparagus Boy? ah well, knowing my propensity for "lifting" material off of your site, you won't be surprised if i post a post about your posts, will you? (wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last)
also: am i off the hook for that e-mail? or will you be needing it before you leave? ; ) xox
Wow! Adjutant! Do people have to salute me with their whole hand now instead of that one finger I keep seeing? Wait a minute ... do I have to work or something because if I
... oooh, look at that! I've never seen a bug like that! That's rilly kewl how it ... Ummm ... what was I saying?
Can you believe I'm the treasurer for an actual church that's not even a UFO cult or anything?
Diesel, they always start that way. Very innocent, very innocuous (man that's a hard word to spell). But then they turn.
Sort of like insurance salesmen.
Uh,oh -I feel myself hurtling uncontrollably towards MPW
-Mattress Police Withdrawal.
Hurry back!
er, but have a good time visiting the fam...
You're leaving!
And not taking a laptop with you?? You are going to suffer withdrawal (as are we...)
Have a good one...
Blogroll? Is that similar to that thing you do with kayaks? I've done Jelly Rolls before, does that count? Rock 'n Roll? Tootsie Roll? I'm runnin' out...
What? There is a chance for promotion around here? I'll be over to wash your car later, sir!
As for the blogroll -- that's funny. I just moved my to each own page since it was getting so big.
And there has been a link to this site and Humor-Blogs since you added my blog to HB, so *phhbbbtlzz!*
Uh, I didn't really mean that. Er, may I shine your shoes, sir?
Man, I finally got here. My computer is giving me major problems, and I am sorely tempted to throw it out the window. Wow, Adjutant Inspector, I am deeply honored, now I'll have to go around shouting "Visit Mattress Police" to the four winds. Are we really going to have to do without you for a whole week' You do like to torture us, don't you? Well, at least that will give me time to fix this #@*& computer.
Have fun in Michegan if you can...down here we call it "that state up north". Quick, pass by this comment before I burst into song about Ohio.
The last small shiny object I was distracted by was my spleen.
Don't ask.
Hey - since you're into UFOs, have you seen this Roswell video?
www.flownetworkproductions.com/evidenceofaliens.htm
I thought it was fake until I watched Part 2. What do you think?
Howard, that slip-up is duly noted. Nothing personal, it's just part of my job as adjutant inspector.
Welcome to the others, you'll get special uniforms soon.
Diesel, we'll miss you, but we all need a little down time. If you swing by New York, meet the NBFF's for lattes.
There you go with that whip again!
I did as you asked MASTER.
I posted you a post after a long hia'duhs. Now I'll wait my turn to be a member of the A.I.team. (unless you can pull some strings).
Do we get badges, because I've always wanted a badge. Can you make me a cute little shiny pink one? And can we do full body searches? Let me know about that because I've always wanted to do that too! :0)
THAAAAANKS BOSS! :0*
Reporting for duty sir.
I'll be looking for you in GR.
Send me an e-mail.
That is...Boss, if I ever get hired for the job. :0)
G,
Well, poop. I guess it's time to convert my blog over to politics. No, that's funny, too.
Poop.
How very great of you to do a little promo for fellow bloggers! There are certainly a lot of great blogs out there. I've clicked on a lot of links of those who comment on your blog :) Good stuff!
Totally sweet! I feel just like Navin Johnson from The Jerk after he saw his name in the phone book for the first time...
"I'm Somebody!!!"
Ok, maybe not the best reference - but you get the point.
p.s. I'm only frail emotionally. Physically I'm like a rock.
A tall skinny rock.
Burfica - You know, just the other day I was saying
Neva - Check your email. You're welcome. :)
Jami - I can see you'll be going far. Please?
Dan - Insurance salesmen turn into UFO cults? Man, I'm going to stop dodging their calls.
Claire - I've got a couple more posts in me before I leave. Seriously, I have to get a couple of posts surgically removed before they'll let me fly.
Beth - I'll have my laptop, but I'm not sure they have teh internets in Michigan yet.
Variant E - With two blog you get blogroll!
Howard - I've got my eye on you. Like Sauron.
Theresa - You deserve it, with all the shameless plugging you do of my site(s). But that's not really what this is all about. Actually, yes it is.
Kat - There's nothing wrong with Michigan for 4 months out of the year. And look, we just entered one of them! Boy, that was lucky.
Mr. Fabulous - I've taken a shine to your spleen myself.
BJ - I think you did a Google search on "UFO".
G - Yeah, I might swing by New York while I'm there. Although considering that I lived in Michigan for 22 years and still have never been to New York, maybe not.
Zoning - Currently we're only allowed to do cavity searches on our own bodies. Still, my keys have to be somewhere, right?
Wreckless - I've been meaning to. I'll get on it today.
Chrissy - I'm convinced that I have the best readers of any blog on the planet. And I'm not even kidding. Frankly, I'm not sure what it is you all see in me.
Harmonica Man - This is the kind of spontaneous publicity that can really make things happen!
Thanks for adding me! Very cool dude!
I had to look up "adjutant." And I write for a living. Thanks for expanding my vocaballary.
Have a fabulous time! Bring lots of bug spray. And if/when you drink beer, have one for me. Rock on with your bad self!!
Sending out an LOL @ Dan. "Do you *have* life insurance? 'Cause if you do, you could always use a little more. Am I right or am I right or am I right? Right."
I love Ned Ryerson. He makes me laugh.
My head hurts.
small shiny objects happen to me all the time.
bet you anything, I was a raven in one of my 42 lives!
WOW, cavity searches eh?
If your daughter has a hoola-hoop, you might try using it to see if you can hear your keys jingling. Hopefully they don't occupy any of your cavities. Ouch!
quite the list you have going. i do have you linked since you asked, but it's entirely up to you as to whether or not you want to link me. no obligation. i'll just be sitting in the corner over here... a blubbering mass, dealing with the pain, the rejection the sense of unworthiness, wondering if life is worth continuing.....i'm fine, really. it's ok.
Do you realize there is not one damned princess on your list???
