The "Post a link to your favorite blog post" shtick has been done to death before, so let's try it with an added twist: Post a link to your favorite blog post from an author other than yourself, on a blog that you don't contribute to.
You may post as many as you wish, so long as you say why you like the post. Don't just drop a link; it will be removed. Don't link to a post on one of your blogs, or it will be reported to the admins.
With that said, let's have some fun.

Assuming I don't get ninja'd, I'll go first:
identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/11/case-for-equal-rights.html
This is from Anok's blog, Identity Check. As the title indicates, it is an argument in favor of civil rights. In particular, gay rights, but not gay rights exclusively. It was a fantastic post 9 months ago, and it remains one of her best posts.
www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=astrology
This is from The Best Page in the Universe, a very popular website ran by a somewhat famous internet writer named Maddox. In this rant, Maddox demonstrates the inanity of believing in astrology.
Those are just the tip of the iceberg. I'll probably post more as I remember them. -
I really enjoyed mendacity by Stillthinking.
"Still water runs deep" comes to mind when thinking of that post and the scene it sets.
studio307.blogspot.com/2009/07/mendacity.html-
I can see why you like it. That was very well-written.
-
I liked the mix of personal with a deeper more philosophical twist that makes you think.
-
Oh my goodness Claire! I am so flattered and thank you! -
I am no literary expert, just saying what I like
-
-
-
I'm not quite sure I get what's going on there.
-
Rivy is an artist - and he writes about his experiences through his art.
It's jocular in a hippy - tuned - see the world through personal eyes - and making light or dark or "bluesy" and sharing the momentary experience he felt...
You can almost see the artist in the moment - if you read through it and just let it float over you.
It's very unusual art - and very good in my humble opinion.

wwwaphorismscom.blogspot.com anything on this page really. I get all kinds of emotions as i read through them.
cookingforassholes.blogspot.com/2009/06/bacorn.html because nothing beats bacorn!!!!-
Wow. Bacorn. Sounds delicious!
I like the aphorisms, too. -
you got great taste. keep promising myself to make it for D. but soon though. maybe i should take credit when i make it
-
Bacorn is mine! I invented it! -
yes but i can take credit for it and you cannot stop me
-
Watch out, Cooking Asshole is a classhole. He'll probably get a plane to fly over your house saying "Bacorn was MY idea!"
-
hehehehe, i live in a cave, up the mountains in the Andes. I wanna see him try. bacorn was my idea (after i saw it on his blog)
-
Wow, in the Andes? He'd still pull it off, I think. Or maybe carve it into the side of a mountain with dynamite, only it would be the mountain you live on, and there would be no message carved except a large circle.

This post reminded me of a similar incident that happened to me, I was/am a daft deer caught in headlights kind of gal in these situations. There is such a sense of innocence in it, with a dollop of rudeness.
www.aspotofblog.com/aspotofblog/HOME/Entries/2009/8/4_The_French_Guy.html-
Oh yes Claire - I'm telling you what - Apsot comes right in there with me - But RIVY captured my heart...
Aspot captures other things. LMAO!

Scroll down to "Greetings From The Federal Chancellor of Living/Dead Relations."-
Yes, thank you.

somanylosers.blogspot.com/2009/07/losers-as-art-vii-ye-olde-faire.html
This just cracked me up to no extent...A little ruthless though-
Hahaha! That's great. I've heard the same wisecrack about an English degree.
I love Medieval Fairs, at least when the knights know how to actually wield their weapons. I saw a jousting tournament a few months back wherein the knights were stage-fighting with piss-poor timing so you could tell it was fake. I could have slaughtered them all with one hand behind my back, platemail be damned.

Polybore has always liked this one markstoneman.wordpress.com/2009/01/20/two-of-two-million/
He can be a tad grumpy, maybe a little officious sometimes but all is forgiven because he can write and, when he chooses, from the heart.-
Washington D.C. is clearly not meant to handle that many people at once. I'm surprised the fire marshal didn't suffer from a stroke.
-
I loved this article. I am a crier anyway, but the night Obama was elected I wept. It was so overwhelming to me because I had spent the Bush years getting denigrated and verbally attacked as Un-American for being an unapologetic liberal. Also, Obama is from Chicago so the atmosphere all over the city that night was "freaking electric".
-
Grumpy and officious? Oh my. And I had to look up the second word.
Thanks for the kick in the behind, there polybore. Maybe I'll find time to live and write a little more, now that I've got more than one day off in a row.

if you have a penis, you need to read this and memorize it: These are mistakes that men make that turn a woman OFF!!! ladylyf.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/sexual-no-nos/
-
Ouch! "Thank you"? That's the epitome of socially awkward.
-
Au contraire. This list may include a particular persons turn off's but it certainly does not concern every woman.
-
well i put it up because i agree with most of them. tell me have you ever seen a women liking her head shoved on a crotch?
-
I've heard of women who like it rough, but I don't think they were talking about that.
-
Sorry but polybore is going to deliberately not answer your question. Instead they will say that in a loving intimate relationship it is to the participants to discover what they like and it is best that lists of do's and dont's are forgotten.
-
@polybore
... in a loving intimate relationship it is to the participants to discover what they like and it is best that lists of do's and dont's are forgotten.
Very well said.

-
I have a particular article in mind, unfortunately I cannot locate it anymore. I feel like a total stalker as I have been skimming through the blog page by page to find it.
*gives up*-
What blog is it from? Maybe we can find it ourselves.
-
It's Greencurmudgeon's blog. I read it not too long ago and was so impressed and moved, but he's got so many really well written articles that I would need his help to locate it.
-
Every article greencurmudgeon writes is thought provoking and so well crafted that I feel honored to be allowed read them. I think this one is outstanding but truthfully they all are.
The Management Secrets of Emperor Diocletian
www.whirledpeas.eu/2009/04/10/the-management-secrets-of-emperor-diocletian/ -
Found it! It's a rare personal entry and I was so moved by the eloquence. After I read this, I came to the conclusion that I am not a writer. He is a WRITER.
www.whirledpeas.eu/2009/05/05/in-praise-of-hyacinth-girls/ -
Ahhh . yes! I remember that one too. Good choice.
-
When I read this, I had to go back and read it again. Wow.
-
Despite being one who actively works to kill emotion (not with medicine, though), I enjoyed his post. He makes wonderful points about society as a whole.
-
VDK,
I know you seek to be rational and logical in all things, but the joy in life comes from opening our lives to other people.
You're human, not Vulcan. -
It's easier to open the mind if you close the heart.
-
Well, you're a very different personality type than me, and that's fine.
I'm an INFJ, but I am just barely an introvert. I tend to feel people out and rely on my intuition. I admire emotional, warm people and am strongly attracted to people with great charisma. -
Charisma is my dump stat.
-
Really? You prefer people who are just as introverted as you? What about balance? For me charisma draws me like a moth to flame. Men (and occasionally women) who are warm and emotive as well as vivacious and energetic set off all my nerve endings.
-
I was making a D&D reference. A dump stat is the one you put the least amount of points in so that you can strengthen the others.
D&D is nerdy and nerdy things are considered uncharismatic. Do you see the irony here? -
I think nerds can be charismatic. I have been told I have personal charisma and I am huge sci-fi geek.
-
Okay, when I mention irony, it means I'm joking. Usually.
-
Your humor is a little dry. I missed that one. Just call me Ache.

My favorites change all the time and I have favorites in different categories.
Happiness and Peace
quietwatersrise.com/2009/07/20/happiness-peace/-
What a wonderful poem and a beautiful message.
-
We have some extremely talented writers here at BC. I hope quietwatersrise gets the recognition she deserves, because her poetry is excellent.
-
I second that.
-
-
I am posting my all time favorite writer and soon to be super model LisaNYC.
She is a very talented writer, and is always able to put a positive spin on things.
dearscottpeterson.blogspot.com/2009/03/dear-scott_25.html-
i visited the blog before but couldn't figure out for the life of me if lisa is for real or just joking. is she really in love with SP?

Cooking Asshole is also a great writer with some fantastic recipes and a dash of abuse for an appetizer...
www.blogcatalog.com/blog/cooking-for-assholes-
His blog reminds me of the hilarious _____ for Assholes books that appear in Homestuck.
For example, Data Structures for Assholes: www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002291

My three favorite blog posts (in no order)
1 letmygerbilgo.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/a-reality-show-id-actually-watch/ by Surveygirl46 - It's about the hate she has for reality shows. How do you beat that?
2 thinkinfyou.wordpress.com/2009/05/20/virtual-mardi-gras-a-bust/ by thinkinfyou - This post will send shivers down your spine. Rainbow socks boy got TFU to make the switch from blogger to WP
3 dollnyc.blogspot.com/2009/05/crime-is-on-rise-in-nyc.html by dollnyc - Anytime I start feeling slow I can look at this photo, read the simple caption, and it lifts my mood-
Thanks for the NOD Freaksmack!

I really havent read most of the blogs here in BC, but from what Ive read I like Nothing Prfound's aphorisms and Harvey avatar's posts-
You're missing out. All of the aforementioned posts have been wonderfully well-written.
-
-
Flowers in the ruin by Dr Jay was another wonderful post, if you Greencurmudgeon's stuff I think you will really enjoy this.
yogaforcynics.blogspot.com/2009/07/flowers-in-ruins.html-
That was really lovely. In fact, I found it so romantic. Not in a chocolates and greeting card kind of way, but more like a romantic view of the world. Very vivid imagery.
-
That is very close to how I pictured it too, as I was reading it.
I also felt a bit sad.
-
-
-
Which post? You linked to an entire, albeit inactive, blog.

-
Art that makes you think, with a big dollop of Brit humour and darkness.

This person used to be a member of BC. I love how she mixes music into her personal every day life.
nardeeisms.blogspot.com/2009/06/song-of-day-morningtown-ride-malvina.html -
I think "Planting Seeds of Hope" of melinda's blog is of one the posts I have read so far.
blog.melindaville.com/2009/05/04/planting-seeds-of-hope.aspx
I also appreciate very much the following post of NothingProfound's blog.

I've been too remiss in my blog reading to claim any favorites, but a brief venture into the blogosphere yesterday led me to one about class and unemployment and such for one American in Chicago: studio307.blogspot.com/2009/05/class-in-united-states.html

Dead Rooster's Sure Fire Method for Seducing Women
Excellent work here, although I have to take some of the credit, as it was my Blogcatalog thread comment and subsequent shoutbox flirting which ultimately inspired it. -
One of my favorite blogs to read is May's Machete by May Evans. One of my favorite posts is about how she fell in love with alternative transportation, very beautifully written.
maysmachete.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-i-fell-in-love-with-alternative.html
I don't contribute, but I have done a guest post. And hope to have her doing a guest post on my blog. She's such a great writer. -

I love all of Chase Jarvis's Posts.

Pick particular posts, you lazy sods.

Argh! You asshole.

No BC advocate position for you!

WIsco talks about the heckling and hysteria on the loud right-wing fringe of the USA. It's getting ugly and silly, and also a little bit dangerous in some cases.

(Read past the ad in the middle, which might otherwise trick you into thinking you're at the end.) -
I enjoy this..
