Every Saturday, I like to highlight some of my favorite blog posts from the week that’s ending. Although I could highlight my own blog posts since they’re so hilarious, I’ll resist the urge. Instead, I’m going to point out a few good, funny and/or interesting blog posts from friends, frequent commenters, blogs I find interesting or blogs that have been recommended to me by others.

So, without further delay, I present to you all this week’s edition of Saturday Salutes.

I Wonder How She’d Look With a “Britney” Hairdo?

Corrina from My Random Blog has been a regular at SKOS since January of this year. In blogging time, that is the equivalent of 24 years.

This week, Corrina had a virtual makeover and shared the results with her readers. We are treated to — not one, not two, but — nine different hairstyles sported by Corrina.

I don’t usually go for blonds, but it’s a good look for her. That and the Carrot Top hairdo. Of course, who doesn’t look good sporting “the Carrot.” Am I right?

Did You Bring Me a Monkey?

On Thursday, Kirsten of The Soccer Mom Files discovered the entire Nigerian royal family had been wiped out and she was the sole heir to the $32 million fortune.

Needless to say, Kirsten was thrilled. All she had to do to claim her prize was wire $50k to a nice jungle man with a giant disc in his lower lip.

I’ve never known someone who was royalty. I wonder if Kirsten will give me some jungle land since I’m saluting her? I don’t know what I would do with jungle land, but I bet it’d have monkeys living on it. I’d never have to buy another Christmas gift. I could just give everyone monkeys.

Yes, But PCs Have Vista

My good friend Steve from Undeception has had some computer troubles recently, so he hasn’t been able to update this week. Still, I wanted to salute him, so I’m going a tad farther back than usual and highlighting a blog post about his MacBook.

Steve and my other good friend Josh love Macs. I have never before used a Mac for more than two minutes, so I have been able to remain immune from whatever hold it is the Mac has on my friends. However, I know it’s just a matter of time. Macs took hold of Josh and Steve, and its recently took hold of my brother. I might be next.

Allison, Why Can’t You Be More Like Erin and Angi?

This last one isn’t so much a solute as it is a calling out. You see, Allison, aka Xanga’s sunflower2457, hasn’t updated her site in almost a month.

Meanwhile, fellow Xangian Erin, aka Tooting Bec, has updated her site four times during that span. Reformed Xangian, Angi of We Sleep for Dreaming, has updated her blog 16 times since Allison last updated hers. And, of course, yours truly has updated SKOS approximately 493 times since then.

I say all that to say: It’s time for an update, Allison. Your readers have been patiently waiting. It’s time to hop to it. Chop, chop.

That’s all for this week, my friends. If you’re hoping to be saluted in a future Saturday Salute, keep writing good stuff on your blog and leaving comments here at SKOS. I’ll get around to you eventually, you can pretty much count on it.

Enjoy your weekends, everyone. As always, do feel free to leave me a comment or two or ten.
