I can ride my bike with no handlebars

"Handlebars" by the Flobots


Happy New Month!

This, I just realized, is my 1201st post on this blog. Jeezum, Crow, that's a lot of posting. I had more, but a while back I went on a deleting spree. No more of that. From here on out, anything in the past remains there, for better or for worse. (Really, the "better" entry was bloody brilliant, imnsho. Ya'll should (re)check it out.)

Anyway. It's May Day, and the idea of posting a story that had to do with the distress call crossed my mind (the rebooting [hee!] of "Roger" being the prominent choice, natch) but as is always the case lately, my Muse has gone missing.
So instead, I present a little game that everyone can play on their own blogs, if they so choose. (Yeah, it's another meme. Kinda. I guess. Sometimes these things spread, sometimes they don't.)

This is the drop-down-a-to-z meme!

In your address bar, type each letter of the alphabet, and list the first site that the computer selects.

Here are mine:

http://ape10.blogspot.com/ - HA!!!
http://www.blogger.com/home - Heh.
http://crankymatty.com/ - Oh, and look! He's posted again! Hooray!
http://www.defectiveyeti.com/ - only recently discovered, but I like this blog.
http://epigone.blogspot.com/ - Amanda, you beat out ebay! (I don't know why my browser doesn't list the sites alphabetically.)
http://forums.buffyguide.com/cgi-bin/wwwthreads/postlist.pl?Cat=&Board=regular&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21
gmail.com
http://heathallyn.com/human/
https://ilsweb.lvccld.org/patroninfo~S12 - Heh. The local library website, which we use to order books in, see if they have them in stock, etc. I don't know if it'll load for everyone. [shrug]
http://www.johnniewalkerrvs.com/listings.php
http://kiddley.com/
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/rvs/
m is mail.google, which is the same as g. I don't think that's fair. Skipping that and going to the next m site listed gets us to http://mothering.com/discussions/ - a site that Steph frequents. I call the people there "Mothering-dot-communists" because I like to pretend I'm witty.
http://noirbettie.com/blog/ - Hi, Annika!!
http://oslowe.livejournal.com/ - Hi, Will!!
http://pierrecoghil.livejournal.com/ - I keep telling Steph that she needs to tell Chance to update more. In case he's reading this himself, I'll just say, "Chance. You should update more." :)
q was listed as 'quikorder.pizzahut.com/phorders2/maincoupons.php', but when I clicked it, the site forwarded me to pizzahut.com. Skipping all the quikorders... we get to http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=3074 which is a "What Lost Character are you?" type of quiz, but it's not a very good one.
http://ranprieur.com/ - One of the many many things to love about Ran's site is how it always just loads automaticaly because there so little there. It's all just text and links. No fancy banners or music or photos or ads.
http://slashingclaw.proboards55.com/index.cgi - One of Saren's role-playing Warriors based websites.
http://televisionwithoutpity.com - Still hate the redesign.
http://unschoolingmama.blogspot.com/ - :)
http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/productSupport/store_locator.cfm?state=ca#
http://wamu.com - sigh
http://www.xkcd.com/406/ - heh.
http://yahoogroups.com/ - 2nd was youtube.

Ta-dah!!
