We Are The “Mayberry” of Feminist Blogs March 26, 2006 Jill Um… thanks? (It really is flattering to be part of this top 10, and I think he’s right about Feministe being a community, so I’m not trying to be snarky. The Mayberry reference just threw me off. My only question is, where’s Pandagon?).
We’re the kind of Mayberry where Great Aunt Lauren spills her vodka in the potato salad and calls the cops for drunken cat rescue shortly after pissing off the entire family.
If that’s the case, I’m going to start asking for an invite to Sunday dinner–it sounds like a hoot! 🙂
So that’s where the hits are coming from today. Well, Tom Head is obviously insightful about one particular male blogger. I’m honored to be here, but I agree that the absence of Pandagon (which might have ten times my readership on a bad day) is mystifying. Amanda, you wuzz robbed worse than the UW Huskies in the Sweet Sixteen. (If I were making a top ten list, I’d start with Feministing, Feministe, Pandagon, Alas and go from there. I’d give up my slot for Sheelzebub, for DarkDaughta, for Feminist Mormon Housewives.) As for y’all being “Mayberry”, Tom Head obviously missed last the dust-up we all had around here a while back when Jill was away (I say that without implying that Jill’s presence is the source of “Mayberriness”!).
I think the Andy Griffith Show was a little before my time. Can I be the cockatoo that whistled the theme song on America’s Funniest Home Videos? Because that’s really my only frame of reference here.
p.s. I think it’s bullshit that this is my blog, my post, and yet my comments still go into moderation.
I think the Andy Griffith Show was a little before my time. What, no reruns? Because that’s the only way I know it, either.
I stuck pretty much to Cosby as a kid. And Golden Girls re-runs now. Andy Griffith just never did it for me.
Actually, you are the Love Boat of Feminist blogs. And I’m Charro, here to make my guest appearance this season.
I’m like Floyd the Barber before that bad business that got him placed in the Mayberry sexual offender registry. Or was that after?
I found it odd that I was commended for my “offbeat sense of humor,” since it’s well-known that I have no sense of humor at all.
Amp, it’s probably that offbeat notion of yours that men and women should be equal – quite hilarious.
