Your hit parade.
I have a favor to ask of regular readers, and anyone else who feels like participating. If you had to come up with the three best QC Reports, what would they be? I had to do this about a year ago, but a few more have accumulated since then.
I'm really not begging for compliments, I swear. In fact, this is all making me rather nervous. Just asking for your input means I am going to do something which will end up in the "Weird news of the week" page on Yahoo. Maybe something like "Woman impales herself on chopstick, now breathes through eye" or "Former child actress locks herself in car; after fire truck arrives, realizes she had keys in her hand all along".
Something like that.
Anyway, what say you?

Quinn, I love everything you've written, but if held at gunpoint and forced to pick my favorites of this last year, they would be: Pizza to Go, Miss American Pie, and my absolute favorite in the world (so far), A Good Belt.
I vote for BiG Daddy, and the one you
did for 9-11..both of them brought me
to tears, every time I read them
Although I too enjoy everything you write my tops are Private Eyes, Responsible Party, Room and Bored
it's like trying to pick which kid is your favorite.
so....i'll pick Although Nothing Seems Right in Cars. i laughed soooo hard at that, because it's so something i could do!
Don't remember the names, but you did
amazing blogs on kids birthday parties,
baby hooker clothes,and cats, the one
about her finally finding a suitable
companion was so funny.
1. Responsible Party
2. A Cooks Tour
3. The Snot Heard Round the World
(I challenge you to listen to the song MARIE by Randy Newman or the song THE WEST COAST OF CLARE by Planxty without misting up )
cure for above misting : Theme from Shaft
*4. 5.
I have too many fave posts too
So hard to choose. But from the last year, I'd vote for Deficit of Attention (for all the moms who can identify!); Long Weekend, parts 1 & 2; and Although Nothing Seems Right in Cars.
From Penny, a habitual reader of your blog
Absolute best:
1. Mother of the Year
2. Where Am I Now?
3. Patrick Thomas Dwyer, 1964-2001
All the luck on whatever you've got brewing. =)
My all time favorite is Sock it to me. I also like She was just seventeen and Love Machine. The one where you try to give pizza to the homeless guy was rather funny too.
Elle
Well, I really ejoyed "operating system" otherwise known as "what time is it?"
The one where the building is open and you try to find someone to report it to.
And, if I must choose, "Fragile".
Barbara
The one about all the animals that you have to feed was really funny. I also thought the one you wrote about your father was very touching.
Lil' Skank! I vote for Lil' Skank!
Absolute favorite from last year? Love Machine. I laughed until I cried, then read it again and laughed just as hard.
Brilliant.
1. M is for the million things she gave me (my mother passed away a few weeks after my eighth birthday, so tributes to mothers are always poignant for me, and your words were especially sweet, Quinn).
2. Caged heat.
3. My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold.
Quinn, I love everything you write.
"Stuck in the Middle with You" is definitely one of my all time favorites - but from this past year I hugely enjoyed the series about your photo session, especially "Shoot Me".
I am a regular reader and re-reader of your blog; you have such a gift. I could come up with a dozen favorites, but the three best are below:
Cursing the Darkness
Love Machine
Patrick Thomas Dwyer
I've read parts of all three of these over the phone to family and friends, and at the dinner table to my children. So, those are my votes.
And no, reading 'Cursing the Darkness' to my older children did not lessen the unearthly glow emanating from my house at any hour of the day or night . . . .
