Roses and Raspberries

A Dozen Roses For You thbbbb

We've decided to make a thread just to keep track of the Roses and Raspberries that we hand out. If you think someone deserves either/or, put them in the comments here, and tell us why.



For those of you who may not have encountered this yet, we hand out roses A Rose For You (sometimes even digital kisses!) to people who give us love and attention, or who have something to say that we feel should be rewarded publicly. (We're pretty OK with suck-ups and brown-nosers here!) I guess the raspberries are self-explanatory.

Be sure to mouse over the images, we've started just adding our comments in the "alt" tags for the poster.


We'll go back through the threads in a little bit and give the lowdown so far. I'll add a spot somewhere on the sidebar to keep track of the most recent, or maybe a leaderboard (like in golf) or something. Maybe a little javascript thingy if I can find it.

I'll add a link in the sidebar too, probably in the "Permanent Post" section.

This kinda sounds like it could be fun.

:)

(And I've STILL got to do something about smilies.)

We've been discussing what to do about Dave. We'd like to award him some kisses and roses, but at the same time we don't want Mrs. Sergeant Springer taking offense and beating either him or us with a stick.

Dave's been sweet to us, and we don't want to get him in trouble.

So Dave gets a dozen WHITE roses (for friendship) and a kiss on the cheek from each of us.

No tongue or nothin'.

(We'll have to find a good image of white roses for you, Dave.)

Well Kate and I haven't gone back through the threads yet. We got a little hung up at UD.

Kate says she's very proud of me for standing up to them over there.

And for their whole attitudes, we are awarding Tina Falwell and Denyse Misogyny each a whole bushel of raspberries.

I believe the term I used over at UD was "self-loathing loud-mouthed women".

How appropriate for them.

Thank you, Darling Kate.

Kisses and Roses to you, too.

But I've got something a little sweeter in mind, too...

Awww, thank you. Have some metaphorical chocolate in return.

Thank you, guthrie, we love chocolate

OOOO chocolate. We are both chocoholics.

Keep it coming, guthrie.

(We did mention we're all good with compliments, flattery, and general up-sucking, right?)

Well neither of us has ever met a chocolate we didn't like.

That said, we both prefer the kind wrapped around a cherry. My Aunt used to get this Russian chocolate from her pizza guy. I don't remember the name of it, and I wouldn't know how to put in the cyrillic characters anyway. It was to die for, though.

Godiva's good.

Davison gets a handful of raspberries for generally being a nutcase, and for not getting the hint that the hate he spews isn't welcome here.

And maybe a handful more, just for General Purposes.

AJ gets roses for all his hard work on our new banner. Our original banner was designed with a black or gray background in mind, but AJ's goes much better with the new look of the blog in general.

Thank you, AJ



Plus, he had to put up with our changes, and considering he did it for free, he gets kisses besides.

Thank you, AJ.

Kisses for AJ

Lots of wet tongue, too
