Out of bounds?

Well now I've gone and done it. After yesterday's advertisement post, I'm now in the doghouse with Momma - both literally and figuratively. She was not amused. You will recall I get opportunities sent to me from time to time asking me to write an advertisement for a particular product or service. And since I don't get paid to write this blog, nor have I been able to sell a single t-shirt since offering them for sale (I know, the price is outrageous), I have to earn money some way in order to satisfy my Milkbone fix. My Uncle Kermit would rather I put up a "Keep It Free" link so my four faithful bloggees could make donations. But I'll have none of that! So it's true. I'm a sell-out. But don't ask me why a feminine product manufacturer selected my blog on which to pay for advertising. Perhaps they found out about my reputation as a proud supporter of women rights. Who knows? Anyway, I just feel sorry for my newest friend, Parker Knox, a former newspaper man who now writes Parker's Midweek Update - a weekly blog/newsletter about all things happening in Pierre, SD. I asked Parker to promote my blog in his Midweek Update, which he does... so far. Unfortunately, I failed to warn him about my weekly left-leaning political rants, my overuse of the word "douchebag", and my occasional PG-13 rated posts about feminine products. Sorry, Parker. But many thanks for continuing to list my blog on your Blog Directory anyway. I really enjoy Parker's Midweek Update, and if there's anyone out there from Pierre who doesn't yet subscribe to it, go HERE to do so. It's got everything, including the sherbet schedule at Zesto, which any Pierre native will tell you is vital information. Zesto is, hands down, the best ice cream shop in the country. And in case you're wondering, here's the aforementioned sherbet schedule:

Friday-Sunday: strawberry

Monday-Tuesday: banana

Wednesday-Thursday: coconut

Aug. 21-23: strawberry cheesecake

Aug. 24-25: lime

Aug. 26-27: lemon

Aug. 28-30: cherry

Aug. 31-Sept. 1: orange
