EDIT: Alternative title for this post - "That's my purse! I don't know you!"

For the BTQ fans (are there any?) keeping score at home, the following google searches have led people to BTQ:

"turkey fryer marinade recipes"

"Wesley Clark's birthday"

"Starcraft South Korean pro"

"child begging in Pakistan"

AND my personal favorite "homemade ladies purses in Oklahoma." WOW. Milbarge must have posted something about his previously secret purse fetish which I never read.

With real work piling up on my desk I will have to take a break from blogging until after Christmas. But there will be many treats in store, including the unveiling of our new look, our top ten predictions for '04 and my responses to Milby's post below. Oh, and a review of Return of the King and my answer to the burning question, "Why is The Lord of the Rings a better movie trilogy than Star Wars?" It just begs to be answered!

The terror threat level was raised yesterday. I hope this does not spoil anyone's holiday travel plans - try to be patient at the airport. I would like to send out a special holiday "thank you" to the men and women who help keep our country safe. To them and everyone else I say "Merry Christmas" and best wishes for 2004.
