Search ME
Happy almost New Year, blogophiles.
Hundreds of thousands have now found themselves staring at the Lame-o Weblog when they could have been doing something more productive during the month of December.
Culling the list down to the top-ten searches has now become a monumental task and includes contributions from the entire Elrod family.

My second post from a Whatburger… this is exciting.
We’re on our way home from YIA 2006 in New Orleans. It’s pouring down rain but the good news is that we got a lot of work done in Chalmette and everyone is feeling good about it.
More later. I’ve got to eat my Whataburger.

After a quick turn-around at our place, Tish and I are taking the West Side youth group to New Orleans for the 2006 Youth in Action conference. We’ll be back on Saturday.

Ambassador James Brown (1933-2006)

Leave it to the “Hardest Working Man in Show Business” to go out in a flash on Christmas morning.

The Lame-o Advent Calendar: December 25
Maybe you have an advent calendar in your home as well.
My calendar is a countdown of unusual items that I suspect that only a very few of us would really want for Christmas.

This Week’s Sign of the Impending Apocalypse (#60)
A group of assorted pagans, druids and pantheists in England celebrated Winter Solstice one day early this year because they didn’t read the calendar.
