Thank you, Mormon Zone, for giving me the bestest toy EVER!

My blog has a wide variety of readers.  One of which is a former intern at my current workplace.  She's LDS, and has a great sense of humor.  She's one of the "normal" mormons (I blog about the wacky ones) and always tries to add some with and mormon-truth to my blog.

Recently she turned me on to a website called Mormon Zone.  It is full of LDS jokes, and she thought I could get a tidbit or two for my blog.  I spent about an hour on the site, and she was right.  I DID get something worthwhile from Mormon Zone!

But not what she expected.  You see, most of the jokes were lame.  Ultra lame.  It had 'top 10' jokes about different LDS scenarios, and talked about their fetish with Jello Salad.  While slightly humorous, I didn't really see it as 'blog-worthy.'

However, one super-cool function I found on their site was their cleanliness rating:

This site has been verified as Ultra-Clean by cleanmeter!  Yay!!  But no wonder the jokes were so boring.  They're as tame as they get.  No pot-stirring, no controversy, no innuendo.  Just clean, happy, mormon jokes...

Cleanmeter is a website that lets you check the cleanliness of web pages before you go browsing.  It is used as a tool for parents to safeguard their children from seeing vulgar and obscene websites.

While I applaud the efforts of cleanmeter, I see this tool more as a toy.  I wondered what cleanmeter would say about my blog?

I typed in my url, and this was the result:

 

Two bits of vulgarity launched me into the mid-yellow range.  I'm not sure if I was more surprised at the lack of filth on my site, or the fact that only 2 vulgar references got me into the middle of 'naughty boy' range.

So I tried a few more bloggers I follow:

This is The Animated Woman.  She has an amazing blog, and is usually fairly clean.  I would consider her blog more child-safe than my own, yet according to cleanmeter her website was considered more dangerous than mine.  (I wonder how she will react when she sees this?)  One crude anatomical reference is scarier than two vulgarities... interesting...

Jillsmo at Yeah. Good Times. is a little more avant-garde, and it shows on the meter.  It catalogs all of her naughtiness, and shows you why I adore her blog so much.  This mommyblogger has a mouth, and an amazing sense of humor.  But BEWARE!!!  She's a scary RED on the meter!!

And then there's Michelle at Rantings of the Reckmonster.  She pretty much broke the scale, and I love her for that.  You go girl!!  Scare them sheltered children!!

I don't need to build a doghouse anymore, but I could start on a trophy case...

I'm sorry to report that Miles is back to Niles, and has been returned to the shelter.

The problem?  Our cats.

My girlfriend and I each have a cat.  One has been around dogs before (hers) and one has not (mine).  When we brought Miles home, we thought it would be a few days before things would settle down and everyone would get along.

WRONG.

Gf's cat (also known as the big fat bitch) hissed and lunged at Miles on a regular basis.  They got into a pretty intense fight, and I'm surprised the cat walked away unharmed.  My cat Weeble was so terrified of the dog she'd visibly shake.  She also was peeing all over everything in protest.

I finally took Miles back to the shelter and they said "Oh, you have cats?  Um, yeah... he doesn't like cats.  His last owner, he put the guy's landlord's cat into the vet.  Cat needed stitches.

Heh, thanks for warning us.

So no more Miles.  We were able to return everything but about $40 worth of stuff, which is gonna be donated to mom-in-law's dog.  That includes a big-ass bag of dog food.  Lucky pup.



So like my title suggests, I don't need to build a doghouse anymore.  But it looks like I'm going to need to build a trophy case.  Because I was given 2 more awards!!

I haven't had a girl give
me her cherry in....

First up is the 'Cherry on Top' award, given to me by the famous and sexy Random Girl Blog.  She's a top-notch blogger who also writes articles for The Dude Society, so make sure to check her out on both mediums.  That is, if you're not following her already.  Odds are you have been for a while, because she's just that badass.

And she thinks I'm yummy!  I haven't had a girl tell me I have 'that little bit extra' in, well...

Award rules state I need to tell you 3 things I love about myself, and then pass it on to 5 other bloggers.

1 - I love my sense of humor.  It comes in handy when diffusing tense situations, and it melts women's butter faster than almost anything else I know of (maybe not as much as a 6pack, but I'm working on that)

2 - I love the fact that, if I want something and put effort into getting it, I get what I want.  I'm not always ambitious, but when I am, watch out world.

3 - I love having green eyes.  They're like a magical hypno-laser of sexiness.

As far as the 5 bloggers go, I choose these five fantastic females:

• BRB - Going Insane
• Colorful Rants of a Fed Up Sista
• Mama Still Wears Gucci (warning, gets a little NSFW at times)
• Reflections in a Wave Pool (should get a little more NSFW at times)  =P
• The Animated Woman

If you're not sure why they are worthy of this award, go check 'em out.  You'll see why.  Their blogs speak for themselves.

Have you hugged your blogger today?
We like bj's too, ya know...

Secondly is the Hug-a-Blogger award, handed out by Adsila at Above the Norm.  Apparently I show the characteristics of a good blogger.  (Who knew?  I just like to type...)

No hoops for this award.  Just gonna wear it proudly, and hug all the bloggers I meet.

Have a great weekend, everyone.  I'll be back with another absurd Idahoan post tomorrow.
