A thoughtful little meme award conferred upon me by Snigglefrits and Phlegm Fatale, both of whom I have managed to fool into thinking I wield a mighty keyboard.
Since I have a delicate ego and crave the validation such awards provide, I naturally decided to play along. I decided to rename it though, if for no other reason than to show off my dubba digit vo-cabba-larry.
I’m supposed to post the picture, and the rules*, and name five other bloggers who dwell in the superior fringes of that bell-shaped blogging ability curve.
Seems every other noteworthy blogosphere scribe has already been tagged, so I’ll point you guys to some of the other, perhaps lesser-known fellows on my blog roll.
Voodoo Medicine Man is a physician and writer of considerable talent. He’s a new resident of the blogosphere, but in a short time has gained a rabid following, including his share of haters. I figure if you haven’t pissed at least a few people off, you haven’t been writing anything compelling. And reading VMM will certainly provide you with plenty of compelling reading.
If you like your cynicism razor-sharp, with a side of well thought-out commentary, give Rogue Medic a try. He mainly writes for the medical crowd, and strives to educate as well as entertain with his posts.
Silly rabbit. I keep telling him to work in more poop jokes and share the intimate details of his genital wart surgery, because readers respond to painful personal anecdotes like that. So far, no luck. He’s a bit shy.
TOTWTYTR, aside from being a dandy way to check for dysarthria by asking stroke victims to pronounce his name, is high on my list of damned fine, hunnert percent Murkins. He’s my brother from another mother, and his blog tagline says it all:
Paramedicine, politics, guns, a little Country Western music.
What’s not to like?
Kevin Baker, of The Smallest Minority, ain’t exactly an unknown, especially if you read the gun blogs. Like Tam says, Kevin’s not just a blogger, he’s a gen-yoo-wine essayist. And his essays are always good.
Last, but certainly not least, there’s Dinosaur Doc. One of the few surviving solo-practice family physicians, if his medical care is anything like his writing (and I’d imagine it is), it’s no wonder why he’s still practicing while so many of his brethren are slowly becoming extinct. Check out his “Laws of The Dinosaur” in his right sidebar.
Y’all enjoy.
