Jezebel and Kizzy are bloggers. That’s like saying Bill Robinson and Shirley Temple liked to flap their feet.

Each of them made me laugh so hard this week I nearly hurt myself. Now I’d like to pass the pain along to you.

In this post, Jezebel and her posse decide to recreate recipes from the ’50s. In case you weren’t around then, allow me to tell you that the recipes tended to feature jello, tuna, mayonnaise, and olives — SOMETIMES IN THE SAME DISH. And so Jezebel gives us THE TASTE TEST FROM HELL.

Kizzy, meanwhile, outrages my sensibilities with a (surely) fictional exchange between an obvious user and a co-worker who is clearly fed up with it. Ladies and gentlemen, LOST CAT.

Meanwhile, I’m preparing to hit Nashville, Indiana, for Books N Brew. I’ll be selling (I hope) the SAGE trilogy and SIDESHOW IN THE CENTER RING. If you can’t make the event, you can click on this link and go to a page of all my books with links to buy and to read sample chapters.

You’re welcome!
