I don’t care if they’re in kindergarten or if they’re seniors in high school, they know the rules. - Mike Riley
My Friday the Thirteenth event went extremely well this time, as those of you who follow me on Twitter (or pay close attention to the comment threads) already know; there were 19 contributions altogether including the reblogs, and several of those were on very popular websites (including Reason and Popehat). The next one will be in December, and I’ll list all of the names and links of the posts in my column for that day. If you wanted to participate but didn’t have the time (or just forgot), you can still get in to that column just by sending me the link, and I’ll update it with those as I can. Radley Balko was our top link contributor this week, but not by much; he only barely squeaked out three others who tied for second place with two links each. The first video was provided by my cat, and the second by Aspasia (who also supplied “science”); the links between the videos were contributed by Cliterati (“cats and bacon”), Carol Fenton (“105″ and “prisons”), Mistress Matisse (“eating”), Jemima (“fast food”), Lenore Skenazy (“climbing” and “bullies”), Jesse Walker (“graphic novel”), Nun Ya (“walking”), Cop Block (“slot machines”), and Grace (“royalty”).
