Now Why Didn't I Think of That? [Where the Hell Was I?]

Now Why Didn't I Think of That?

Don't think I forgot. Don't even imagine for a second that it slipped my mind. I may not have much going on up in the old nogging lately, but I would not forget my guest post hosting duties. Not something so important as that.

I'd like to thank the myriad of people (*cough cough* three *kaff cough*) who leapt at the chance to see their words here, in this very space. The response was nothing short of overwhelming; it makes me think, once again, of those famous words spoken by a truly gifted entertainer, many years ago:

'Uh... is this thing on? Testing, testing. One two... is this on?'

Oh, I kid. I appreciate everyone who wrote to offer a topic idea, and frankly, it was hard enough to choose one from just a few interested people. If there'd been any more, I'd still be sitting here wibbling over which one to pick. But in the end, I did make a choice. I won't tell you who will soon be taking over the spotlight here, but I will reveal the topic, to whet your appetite for the upcoming yummy goodness.

(Did I just fricking say that? Damn. It must be late.)

Anyway, after all was said and done, I just couldn't pass this topic by -- there are simply too many compelling words leaping out and begging for attention. And here it is, one delicious word at a time:

Flushable.

Folded.

Wipes.

Folks, I don't wanna get your hopes up or anything... but I really think this is gonna be good. 'Flushable folded wipes' is the stuff Pulitzers are made from, people. So stay tuned for that -- it ought to be a doozy.

And while we're at it, a big round of blogplause to Al over at Shouting Into the Void, who thought up this whole idea.

(And who gave me the honor of penning the first guest post in the chain. And I didn't even have 'flushable, folded wipes' to work with! Think how much better this next one's gonna be! Woo hoo!)
