My Blog Hurts!

Well, well! Our pal Sleepy Beth has tagged us Llamas with a Thinking Blog Award Meme Thingy (or "Thinkie" for short, I suppose). Says Beth of us:

They range from hillarious to insightful to random to strange. And they've become one of the major highlights of my day. (Not sure if that says more about what my days are like or them, but if you don't read them, you should.)

Too, too kind! And thank you very muchly.

Here's the meme post thingy that started this whole sha-bang off. Apparently, if you get tagged, you're then supposed to nominate five other blogs that make you think. I'm handicapped here, both because I would have chosen Beth myself and also because she pinched our pal Lintenfiniel Freakin' Jen as one of other other nominees.

Nonetheless, here are five blogs I read that I can safely say make me "think" on a regular basis. And by "think," I mean that they are all written by such intelligent, insightful people that I feel I have to be at the very top of my intellectual game just to keep up with them and not look like the drooling moron I really am:

Patum Peperium - You cross the divine Mrs. P at your own peril. And did I mention she's divine?

Man About Mayfair - Wing Commander Sir Basil Seal, KCB, etc., the 21st Century answer to Evelyn Waugh.

The Colossus - I've been learning an awful lot about Faith reading him of late.

Naked Villainy - How could any list like this be complete without the Maximum Leader?

The Cake Eater Chronicles - I've admired Kathy's writing since I first came across it. I admire her even more now for her shear guts.

Anyhoo, there you have my nominees. I invite Steve-O, Gary and (if he has a moment) the LMC to contribute their own as well.

In the meantime, as a special treat and lest you think our heads are going to start swelling round here, I bring you this videoclip showing what really goes on inside LlamaButcher HQ:
