    Oh!, Mona

    "Ok, what's a girl gotta do to make it into your troll competition? And I warn you: I gave up the black fishnets in my 20s because they do bite badly into my lily-white, Irish skin." -- -Mona-

    Mona, Darlin, Mom, Lily White Irish No-Hose Madam, or whatever,

    As the Original Oh! Girl, you have been disqualified from competition for the title Troll of the Day. There is no appeal and you are requested to please show some restraint in this regard.

    When I return from competing in the Hully Gully contest in Key West this week (that's sort of like Dancing with the Stars for old pasty-white straight guys) and if Pedinska holds up her end of the bargain (she promised not to throw me to the ground and beat me to a pulp at Captain Tony's Saloon if she caught me looking up her skirt while she was affixing a "used purple see-through Brassiere" to the ceiling), I am planning on adding a Contributor of the Day award to the Wog Blog. I am sure that you would be a prime candidate for that prestigious award if you would (a) show up here more often, and (b) reply to the question I asked you a couple of years ago in a private e-mail. You may comply with (b) privately.

    I hope this helps.

    Oh!, I almost forgot.......link at sig

    P.S. - You must also root for the Buckeyes tomorrow. :-)
