No, that's not a typo. I'm giving a shout-out to the letter G. Like on Sesame Street, when they used to say "brought to you by the letters S, B, K and the number 7." Speaking of which, product placement on movies and TV shows has really gotten out of hand. I mean, can you believe all the marketing that the number 5 does? How much do you think it had to pay to have EVERY fake phone number in every show ever start with 555? More than 5, I'll bet.Well G didn't pay me anything to post this, but she happens to be one of my favorite bloggers. She hasn't been blogging a whole lot lately at her own site, but you can catch her blogging about her latest musical finds every Saturday at Central Snark (under the name "Lampshade Lady" or sometimes "D.J. Lampsha"). She has also been kind enough to fill in for me this week at the Humor-Blogs.com review site. She posted one review today, and she'll be doing two more later this week. If you stop by and tell her how much better her reviews are than mine, I might even be able to get her to do a few more.
If you're wondering what all this Humor-Blogs.com stuff is about, it's basically a community of funny bloggers. I started it a few months back, and now there are nearly 300 blogs participating. We've got some really funny blogs listed, so go check it out. And if you have a humorous blog yourself, go ahead and sign up!
The letter G also stands for our favorite Nazgul and Meme-Wraith, Grundir the Implacable. I can't express how thankful I am to him for dispatching those three memes yesterday. Due to the overwhelming response, I've decided to let Grundir offer his services to other meme-plagued bloggers. If you have been tagged with a meme that you don't feel like doing, please email grundir@mattresspolice.com. He will come to your blog and take care of your meme. Just keep in mind that I have no control over what he does. Nazgul are a temperamental lot, and there is a reason that he is known as Implacable.I will be back on Friday with another round of the caption contest. See you then!
Diesel out.

clever post, D -- now this is what i call a "shout out", and a sweet one at that.
can't think of a better person to highlight than "G", a.k.a. my own dear NBFF -- she is, indeed, a grand blogger and a fantastic person -- and more than deserving of this kind of spotlight and/or attention. well done!
guess i'd best race over to humor-blogs/reviews-did anyonegetabetterscorethanus.com and see how our dear Lampsha did channeling you! (i'm guessing she did pretty damn well) ; )
ooooh -- and as your "first" commenter, i believe i shall claim "first" in securing the services of Grundir, the Implacable Meme Wraith. yeah -- i've got a crappy meme i need help with, and i do believe your phantom pal will be the perfect wraith for the job.
neener neener neener to everyone who pops in here after me. ; )
All I can say is "G". I'll take a look. Oh, and what is the going rate these days for Wraiths doing some ghost writing for meme's? (get it...ghost writing? Ha ha...never mind...
Sesame Street will never cease to influence the intellectuals of the world. :)
Groovy.
(not a dementor...perhaps the Banshee?)
It's official - G whiz.
(More power to you and to Grundir)
Interesting. Tell us more about this "Sesame Street" of which you speak.
Fanmtastic I can't wait for him to do my next meme!
Can i borrow Grundir when I'm pissed off at someone from work??
I might consider borrowing Grundir at some time in the future. But, for right now I prefer to take care of my own business and not be indebted to a per .. uh .. an uh .. whateverthehellheis of such questionable character.
I could use Grundir to keep my son in line once in a while.
Grundir is kinda hot in a freak-show bad-boy sorta way.
Just signed up for humor-blogs. Time for another beer. Burrp! 'cuse me...ahh.
My house number growing up was 555. Did someone pay may parents to do that?
I knew Grundir and I would find a common ground besides cursing memes. I'll be in touch with him.
Thank you for this wunderbar shout-out. Ah what the heck, you're one of my faves too! This week's episode of The Mutual Admiration Society has been brought to you by whatever beer the caveman just burped.
You're the best.
Hi G.
Ahh G, all the best words start with it... Gr... Go.... Well I can't think of any at the moment but I'm sure there a many out there.
Oh I love trash, anything dirty or dingy or dusty, anything ragged or rotten or rusty, yes, I love trash. Sorry, as soon as I saw that picture of Oscar, the song came back to me. Does this mean you are a grouch, or is Grundir the grouch? So, after that bit of garbage, I'll say that your post is exactly the opposite: antigarbage. Now I'm off to visit G wherever she may be.
Woot G!
I would love to see you and Grundir in a caption together!
Meaning...a caption contest together! duh
Oh, you're funny. And I can't wait to borrow Grundir. (Though maybe I'm a little scared to, too.)
So Grundir is being rented out for meme-bashing? Does he do parties too? Because my daughter turns two next month and bounce-houses are so passe.
Grundir's been doing a bit of non-meme blog-hopping these days.
How reassuring to know you have no control over this dude.
But he doesn't scare me!
Hallejuia!! I refuse to do memes!! I love Grundir with a passion I've never felt beyond the blog.
Well, how on earth did I miss this? What a nice say so about you G - thanks Diesel for a nice post. She is G... for Grreat!
PS - Crazy Aunt B - your lovelovelove is showing :)
