- Go to The Deepest Freeze
Thanks, BrightIrish...
as I mentioned previously, it's a fairly common (very unpleasant) occurrence for me.
Having said that, it's a small price to pay for indulging my Pina Colada Slurpee addiction.

Hi.. It has been years since my brain has had that kind of a freeze, I enjoyed reading the post.

You really are dense sometimes, Decshak...
The lines in "quotations" are NOT direct quotes in the "traditional sense" (or any other sense, for that matter). I use the marks for "dramatic effect". For instance,
All my "info" is "culled" from "matters of public record" (government statistics, polling data, etc) ... however, the "colorful wording" is "100% pure me". Nothing is "directly lifted" (transcribed or copied) from any other "source". Therefore, there wouldn't be any newspaper, magazine, writer or whatever to credit the info to.
So you see, there is absolutely nothing "Deep Throat-ish" about it.

Sorry, MPO, but you are supposed to EXPOSE your sources EVERY time
you quote them extensively (more than 5 words of theirs in a row). But thanks for visiting and commenting....

Be careful, littlemspickles...
I've found that each time I suffer a new "brain freeze" it takes slightly longer to thaw than in the previous instance.

Don't mention it...
No, I mean
seriously, don't mention it. (I don't want to start receiving any requests.)

MPO wow...they really followed up on your facts?
I don't know if that encourages me as a reader (to know your facts are being verified by a "higher power") or if it would annoy me that Big Brother was watching.
BTW, thanks for the vote of confidence by adding me to your People List. I did receive your email, and even responded to it believe it or not.

Yeah, Gulliver, if I revealed my sources ... what would I have to write about?
Oh wait! I have revealed my sources ... like, eight times previously. (Seven of those times occurred after being asked the exact same question by the exact same Blog It member.)

It's not easy, brettnik...
(though actually it's not that
hard either) ... it's from a variety of sources.

I could never stand that, Nanaroo,
even the winters
here bother me (despite rarely dipping below the freezing point).

Ben, if I don't figure out a better "system" ...
I may have to donate my earnings to myself.
Falling a week behind on one's schoolwork + getting two hours of sleep a night + blogging ... simply doesn't mix.

MPO's secret...
If she told you, it wouldn't be as fun. Kinda like the magician who won't reveal his secrets. MPO, I think I know one of your sources, but your secret is safe with me.)
Keep smiling

Maybe luckily for me, I don't fancy crushed ice anywhere. Lol.
Here is your prize. You might wish to donate your earnings yourself.

I would imagine so, Billy...
I actually suffer "brain freeze" roughly several times a week ... cause I guzzle Pina Colada Slurpees like there's no tomorrow.
