Webrings I have not joined (with pictures)

WHY are there so many webrings devoted to KNITTNG?! And why do they get so many hits? It almost makes me want to start knitting something. I did once, you know. Knit something. When I was about nine I knitted a small cat and then took arty photographs of it. See?

I seriously considered joining the Blogs by Women webring, but… well for a start I don’t believe in the whole gender dichotomy thing. “Women” is a myth. And secondly, it would just seem like I was copying Iona, which I feel like I seem to be doing a lot lately, although I’m not actually copying her, she’s just got such damn good taste.

I’d like to join the Svensk Politic webring, but I’m not sure if they’d let me. Let’s see… This is a building I walked past in Stockholm. It maybe be called Stadshuset, or maybe that’s somewhere else. I’m sure at some stage this building had some connection to politics. The only thing I can remember how to say in Swedish is “Do you speak Swedish?” which isn’t very helpful, really. “Do you speak English?” might be slightly more useful.

I could join the I Love My Cleavage webring, but, well, that would be lying. Especially following an embarrassing email exchange (after drinking just a tiny bit too much wine) the result of which is that from now on I am going to hide my cleavage (or lack of) under high neck sweaters. On the other hand I have no problems with other people’s cleavage. Take for example cute lesbian girls in Swedish movies. Ok, so they may not have a lot of cleavage by internet standards, but what they do have I approve of wholeheartedly.

Maybe I should join the God bless the USA webring? *ROTFL* Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean that. I mean, some of my best friends are… oh no, wait, they’re not. Um… hey, guess what? I have an American passport… No really, my dad was studying at this university… oh nevermind.

Of course there are always Buffy webrings. Plenty of them to choose from. But, given that this is only the second time I’ve mentioned Buffy, it could lead to a lot of disappointments. On the other hand I could set up a discreet shrine to Alyson Hannigan in the corner of my site.

She’s so damn cute it’s unbearable.

That is one of the cutest pics I've seen of Alyson Hannigan, and it's not like they (cute pics of Alyson Hannigan) are all that thin on the ground to start with!

There's nothing wrong with your cleavage! I recall it looking very nice that first night that I met you!

And yes, at least one of your best friends is American. Um, at least I hope so...

You are sooo funny!
Seriously, you should do comedy writing. Couple of points here:
i) Don't worry about the state of your cleavage. Remember the rule of diminishing returns: the more the cleavage, the dumber the man.
ii) Yes. Willow is gorgeous.
iii) Go to Probush.com (not a lesbian site) - there is a link there to a Traitors Page. It makes for interesting reading...you can even add your name (as an American National, you can be a traitor rather than merely a Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey)
iv) is it safe to invite you for a Hot Chocolate, or are you still being good?
