Bonfire of the Vanities #115
Welcome to the 115th edition of the Bonfire of the Vanities, a collect of the blogosphere’s most foul smelling posts. Today’s edition would have been brought to you by one of my favorite drinks, the Irish Pipe Bomb, but none of the recipes I found have you lighting the shot glass on fire (if you have such a recipe send it to me) and searching for “Irish Pipe Bomb” on the web has now landed me on the No Fly List. Instead, today’s Bonfire is brought to you by the letters B and S and the number 0.
The upcoming bonfire stops are as follows:
Week 116 (Sept 20) - File It Under (url: http://www.fileitunder.com)
Week 117 (Sept 27) - The Zero Boss (url: http://www.thezeroboss.com/)
Week 118 (Oct 4) - Available
If you’re interested in hosting an upcoming edition of the Bonfire

Mr. Satire at satire.myblogsite.com/blog presents Celine Dion Gives Passes To Hurricane Katrina’s Poor Victims To Touch Pricey Things In Her Mansion. This is what celebrities get when they start speaking as if they know how to handle the real world. Their expertise is in pretending.
Jack Cluth at The People’s Republic of Seabrook presents Can I get that to go? And is that fresh donkey urine?? Think twice before getting Chinese…
Mark A. Rayner at The Skwib presents Epidemiologists Searching for Deadly Noodle Vector? He says: “More coverage of the Pastafarian schism, this time with a sideswipe at silly CDC programs.” Me? Don’t look at me, I just light the bonfire on fire.
FMF at Free Money Finance presents Scooters: The Perfect Second Car? How many ways can one talk about the cost of gas without actually talking about the cost of gas?
Don Surber at Don Surber presents The Next Chief Justice?. He got preempted in his post on a possible Chief Justice Thomas by Bush nominated Roberts instead.
Two Dogs at Mean Ol’ Meany presents A Big Shout Out to basil for causing his to show up in google searches for “Jamie Lynn Spears Naked”. Who’s Jamie Spears?
Wunderkraut was busy trolling for venison recipies and putting up pictures of a deer he killed because it was a slow news day. And you choose this???
Beth over at Bamapachyderm asks who could she not submit something from a stupid quiz. She designed her own hell but does not include telemarketers… what were you thinking?
Practical Penumbra overslept, so she’s spending her time beautifying instead of blogging. I encourage all members of the Alliance of Free Blogs to help Susie get her priorities straight.
The Jawa Report brings us news that a company has released an X-Ray CCD camera capable of seeing through clothing. Jawa will never be able to look at Carrie Fisher the same again.
The Gray Tie sends in YABC (Yet Another Blog Carnival) with Shadows and Carnivals. She even thought she was late in submitted the post, but was really 12 hours early.
Pirate’s Cove brings us pictures of a bunch of drunks passing out and a cat that’s hitting the sauce. It’s a good thing he didn’t send in his cannibal joke instead.
Harvey at Bad Example presents SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO ANYWAY. Some people can bring up erectile dysfunction in any topic of conversation.
Sean Gleeson at Sean Gleeson presents Huffing what? Sean is in despair because he doesn’t get enough HuffPo kooks commenting on his site. I recommend creating accounts on the DU and DailyKos and then pretending to be one of them and insult your own posts… you’ll get kooks that way. Or perhaps suggest that Israel wasn’t to blame for 9/11, that worked for me too.
Andrew Ian Dodge at GoD: blog presents Single Morphs… ” While several members of the band work dutifully on the mixing of the band’s new EP…what am I doing? Er heading to Stringfellows with a babe on my arm to quaff champers.”
Want to see the worst football pick ever? Check out 7 Deadly Sins. Hey, Sinner? Want to join my fantasy football league?
This Blog is Full of Crap brings you previews Palestianian reality TV as more proof that the reality TV thing has gone WAY too far. In fact, if I could, I’d burn all of it in the Bonfire too.
The MaryHunter at TMH’s Bacon Bits presents What IS Social Justice?. It’s all fine and good, but we’re you going to define social justice at some point?
Brian J. Noogle brings you a book review on The World’s Best Dirty Jokes. He bought the 1976 book at the YMCA in 2005 as part of a fundraiser. Go figure.
Elisson at Blog d’Elisson presents Lost: A 100-Word Story that should be pithy, but came off like the kind of “pithy” that’s pronounced with a lisp.

Haloscan is being obnoxious about trackback pings, but I’ve linked you over at my site. Thanks for a great Bonfire!

John: what? Define SOCIAL JUSTICE? Yearight. I was actually sorta hoping that Thomas Sowell would pop by and help me out. No such luck.
Great job with the bonfire! Didn’t spend too much on lighter fluid, I see.
