hi there. im participating in a secret santa fun game and here now its time to reveal the recipient of my gift. been working on a fancy introduction so here we go, dim the lights please and give me a swelling drum roll..

after many hours hard at work behind the keyboard this blogger has proven to be worthy of a fine present such as this. his unparalleled usage of both proper punctuation and spellcheck set him apart from many in this crowded field.

so without further ado, I present to you …

wait …

oh crap …

you already know who it is dont you? youve been staring at his banner image while youre reading this and now youve spoiled the surprise. crap …

well anyway, my gift exchange goes to Irregularly Periodic Ruminations, featuring the work of Jim ‘Average Guy’ Heinous. Jim hails from PA, likely because thats where his pa is from, and is the proud holder of marriage, childbirth and pet ownership certificates.

Jim writes often about his life and the things that happen to him in it. for example, read this tasty excerpt from his recent posts: “The other day, The Wife came down and said that her chest felt a little tight..” or this one: “..Yee freaking hah.”

like the guy on the reruns says: “This stuff is gold Jerry, gold.”

now we get to my gift. as I was researching his fine product I noticed a statistic that stuck out like a sore tail- he has no votes on Humor-Blogs.com. none. nada. the big goose egg. this guy must be feelin like the detroit lions right about now. he must be feelin like the 40 year old virgin. he must be feelin like .. well, you get my point. I mean, what the hell?

and its all your fault gentle readers. you are to blame for this oversight. its clear none of you ladies have even visited cause you wouldve seen his picture and, oh my. he is indeed a fine handsome man, not at all like this yahoo that lives here with me.

so here is my gift to you Jim, I shall cast the first vote to welcome you into the clique of self-centered, maniacal, sometimes vengeful and often physically challenged personalities who call H-B their day care center. and on top of that, im going to add you to my list of favorites.

now howse ‘bout the rest of you slackers visit his site and entertain yourselves and loosen up with your death grip on those votes.

would like to thank bee and her lovely assistant for arranging this wonderful secret santa exchange. maybe we can do this again next month ok?

and finally a note to Jim, perhaps if you were to incorporate a pet dog into your cast as a regular character you might get more visitors. im thinkin of a personality somewhere between the kindly family patriarch and a comedy lead role, like a mix between Robert Young (Father Knows Best) and John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun).

just a thought ..
