Bestofme Symphony, 4th Performance
The fourth performance of the Bestofme Symphony has 16 participants and 22 submissions. Several readers rallied to find favorites in the archives of their blog reads to make sure we had a symphony instead of an ensemble. Special thanks to Jennifer, Susie and Ilyka for their extra-blogular submissions.

Submit to the Symphony: Want to be a part of next week's edition? Check out this post for submission info.
Spread the word: Webloggers, how about a post linking to this Symphony? Participation was astounding this week, considering that overall blogging is so light over the Christmas weekend, but your continued support is what's keeping the Bestofme Symphony in concert.
Email Reminders: If you'd like to be sent a reminder about the Symphony, drop me a line at this address. It's not a mailing list, just me sending out friendly little reminders. There'll be one on Thursday or Friday to remind you to submit for the next symphony and one on Monday with a link to the freshly posted Symphony.
Without further ado, I present the fourth edition of the Bestofme Symphony:
| Post | Author | Weblog |
| When in Doubt, Interview Something Dept. | Bunsen (Submitted by Jim) | Bunsen [dot] TV |
| This week's honor spot goes to one of the most consistently humorous and irreverent sites on my blogroll. The gloves come off as Bunsen interviews Pope John Paul II. | ||
| A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Airplane | Helen Adelaide | Everyday Stranger |
| It's mine. I wrote it. And I am submitting it as proof that I am not only crazy, I have a sense of humor. | ||
| Thoughts on perspective | homicidalManiac | the rantings of a homicidalManiac |
| Just an essay about how our perspective has changed from 60 years ago to now. The idea for this post really hit me because I work with the injured soldiers everyday and I have the good fortune to be able to listen to their stories. Whenever that happens my muse hits in a big way and the words just flow right out of me. It is a post that is very close to my heart. | ||
| Joyful submission | Annie (Submitted by Sarah) | Taken in Hand |
| An insightful article about submission by a woman who wonders whether she is actually submissive or not. She discovered that she is when she began to look at what brought her joy. | ||
| Appeasement Doesn't Work with Insects | Ilyka Damen | Ilyka Damen |
| If you've ever wanted to read a tale in which I shriek like a little girl and otherwise act pathetic--nay, French, even--now's your chance. [Editors note: Ilyka might not have such a problem with bugs if her mother hadn't told her that either Ilyka or her brother is deathly allergic to stings, but Mom can't remember who has the allergy.] | ||
| Your Poetic License Has Been Revoked 2 | Bill Adams | Idler Yet |
| I'd just inaugurated a new feature, and the perfect target came along . . . | ||
| A Cthulhu Conspiracy? | Andrew Ian Dodge | Dodgeblogium |
| This is a brief overview and idiots guide to all that is Cthulhu. Cthulhu references and gags abound in blogdom and there are a few people who haven't got a clue what we are on about. I hope this post will help those who are a bit "at sea" about all of it. | ||
| An Ode to my Father | J Fielek | Quibbles and Bits |
| No more need be said. | ||
| War! Rename Frank J Poll Closed | Jennifer | Jennifer's History and Stuff |
| This post explains why Frank J of IMAO is called "Ethel." I get asked that a lot. | ||
| How Was Your Weekend? | Pixy Misa (Submitted by Susie) | Ambient Irony |
| A day(or two) in the life of the Peripatetic Pixy Misa | ||
| Oh, K: Thirteen Ways of Looking at This Letter | Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker (aka Jerome du Bois) | The Tears of Things |
| Here's an amusing little piece I posted awhile ago about the letter K. | ||
| What Do You Know? | Jennifer | Jennifer's History and Stuff |
| Everything you ever wanted to know (and should have been afraid to ask) about man's best friend. | ||
| Her Tools | Susie | Practical Penumbra |
| I'll take musings for $100, Alex... | ||
| Principled Boycotts | Tuning Spork (Submitted by Jennifer) | Blather Review |
| Just because. | ||
| Untitled | G (Submitted by Ilyka) | G in Baghdad |
| This Iraqi blogger explains why Iraqis may seem hostile to the coalition forces, despite the good that has been accomplished there. Unfortunately, it seems that the secret police in one's mind are the always the last to go. | ||
| Suets Me Fine | RP | Random Prose |
| It's kind of funny. [Editor's Note: Short, with a fantastic laugh to length ratio. What are you still doing reading this? You could have been done with this submission by now!] | ||
| My Toe Saga Continues | Bill Cimino (Submitted by Jennifer) | Bloviating Inanities |
| Bill Cimino's Gout Saga Begins. Because we're still getting mileage out of this one. | ||
| Electric Bra | Mike Pechar | Interested-Participant |
| Some innovative thoughts on providing additional functionality to a new invention. | ||
| It's All Just a Game Anyway...Isn't It? | Tuning Spork | Blather Review |
| Serious liquids warning for this Celebrity $100 Pyramid spoof. | ||
| Welcome to Jerry Springer Nation | northstar | The People's Republic of Seabrook |
| Every now and then I like to delude myself into thinking that we as a society have risen above finding our entertainment in the pain and suffering of others. Yeah, right...WHAT was I thinking?? | ||
| The Uneasy Relationship Between Journaling and Business Blogs | Trudy W. Schuett | WOLves |
| This is about the odd phenomenon of online businesses suddenly sprouting blogs with no relation to the business itself. | ||
| Unfreakylinks | Jim Peacock | Snooze Button Dreams |
| In August there was a rash of seemingly bizarre deaths including a decapitated doctor, an electrocuted gambler and a carnie who got scalped. I showed how each of these was the result of stupidity, not a wierd twist of fate. | ||
