Rabbits and Crackers

The Pez Family of b**ggers always goes RABBIT! RABBIT! at the start of the month because that's supposed to bring good luck. Well, maybe for people, but not so much, I guess, for rabbits, which also may be called "dinner."

My buddy MommaK and her pal Lucinda have developed a system for recognizing some fellow b**ggers with some "warm fuzzies." Each month, on the 1st, some of us will be linking our favorite post from the preceding month that someone else has written, designating it for a "Perfect Post Award." This is not a closed shop: If you also want to be a presenter, send email to Momma K at petroville@gmail.com.

My first Perfect Post Award goes to Florida Cracker for a breathtaking piece about his daughter and how he feels about her. For a read, go here. Warning: I know your b**groll is full, but you will want to add this guy.

Ahmed to Mahoud: "Tomorrow it will be your turn to be our suicide bomber."

Mahoud: "I can't. My doctor thinks the stress would bring on an ulcer."

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

My favorite phrase today is grin and bear it. Vb., smiling through gritted teeth. Def.: When that "perfect" person you can't stand engages you in conversation and you are forced to be polite.
