LeftyBlogFriends

Fortunately for me, I have one addiction even greater than tobacco and that is to the First Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  In addition to being a die hard Denver fan, I also play fantasy football, and Politics Plus sponsors the a fantasy football league: Lefty Blog Friends.  My team, Tomcat’s Teabag Trashers won the regular season, but came in last in the playoffs.  We currently have six teams, and one of those did not shop up last year, and can be replaced.  I’d like to expand it to ten giving us five openings, so I’m inviting you to join on a first come first serve basis.  I can visualize such teams as BigFoot’s Blasters, Critter’s Crunchers, or Monster’s Mashers. (hint) :-)

If you’d like to play, here’s what to do:

First, register for fantasy games at NFL.com.  The registration link is here.

Second, go to the left column of this page and find the ‘Contact me’ link and use it to send me an email.  Give me the email address use used to register for fantasy football.  I will send you an invitation from within the league.

We will be having a live draft on Sunday, July 28 at 11 AM PDT (12 Noon MDT, 1 PM CDT, 2 PM EDT).  Because this is a “keeper league” returning players may keep two members of their previous year’s roster, but if they do, they do not get picks in the first two rounds.  If you cannot attend, you will receive auto-pick choices.  All things considered, it’s great fun and I hope you join in.  It’s a great break from fighting right wing InsaniTEA one day at a time!

42-Edie

This is Edie’s second Big Mouth Award, having won the first on 8/12.  She is one of our most regular participants here, a denizen of Care2, and known for insightful comments and a BIG heart.  The poor woman needs all the love we can give her.  Her Senators are McConnell, aka Bought Bitch Mitch, and Paul, aka Idiot, son of Idiot, named after Idiot.  I certainly appreciate her.

While I was ill for most of much, I still managed to post an Open Thread most days, including a daily cartoon.  Since many of you regular readers come through links on other sites, you did not get to see them, so for your enjoyment, here are nine from March, plus one from April.

I hope you found them enjoyable.

41-Patty

Patty is a regular, and you’ll find her excellent comments on virtually every article, almost every day.  She comes to us from Care2.  This is her fifth Big Mouth Award, having also posted the 28,000th comment in January, the 31,000th comment in May, the 33,000th comment in July, and the 35,000th in September.  Patty’s is still a MAJOR Jig Zone predator, and is now known as the Patty Monster.  She attacks those puzzles with all the zeal of a Republican politician trying to steal a grandma’s benefits.  She is a completely welcome regular here.  Thank you, Patty!
