First commenter with an idea gets that idea doodled, I reckon.
UPDATE:
For Manx – Whatever the second commenter wants.
30 seconds were spent on this doodle. I still have 30 seconds left to populate the thought balloon, based on the idea of the next commenter. 
UPDATE! (Part 2)

From today’s Chicago Sun Times, the latest installment in the ongoing missing person investigation of Stacy Peterson:
“I would tell her I’m ashamed of her for putting the family through this,” Morphey said. “She knows where she is.”
In a lengthy interview, Morphey, 79, spoke about how heartbreaking she finds the insinuation that her son would harm anyone. Stacy’s family believes the young mother would never have left her two children and fear she is dead.
“I could swear on a Bible that he would never hurt anyone at any time,” Morphey said. “I’m proud he’s my son and I feel so bad he’s got to go through all this because of her. She was just too young.” There is a 30-year age difference between Drew and Stacy Peterson.
A mother doesn’t believe her accused son is responsible for a crime? Is this news?

For a recent pyramid scheme post, I whipped up a quick little diagram showing me at the top of the pyramid, and then different levels under.
At the bottom of the pyramid, for the people who would really see no benefit from the scheme, I wrote “Some Suckers”.
This got me thinking about the popular idea of six degrees of separation, where any two individuals can be connected by a chain of acquaintances.
You can view the diagram as a representation of degrees of separation between myself and the “suckers”. For me, it not only shows the connection, but also the loss in meaningfulness as the amount of steps from one’s self to another increases.
For example, my connection to “you” is very important. As soon as I walk another step away from me, my interest in and concern for an individual sharply drops off.
So, say you tell me that your friend has been found to have a terminal form of cancer. I’d say, “Wow, that’s horrible.” But my concern would probably be more for how it affects you, than how it affects your friend. If it was a friend of a friend? I’d say, “Why are you even telling me this? I don’t know this person.” You try and tell me about a friend of a friend of a friend, and my eyes will glaze over.
We use degrees of separation every day, perhaps in situations we aren’t really aware of, or don’t want to be aware of.
Take this, for example:
Imagine the relationship of a person on a farm with a cow — what kind of connection is there? How about a person who works at a slaughterhouse? What is the connection? What is your relationship with the cow? Is it even a cow when you get to it? It’s not for me. It’s beef. The steps the cow walks to get to me are involuntary and have a very negative effect on the cow’s health.
We can say this is a small world, and that we are all connected, but how meaningful is that when the connections don’t have any weight behind them? If we don’t have extended connections that are truly meaningful, how can we combat issues like poverty, global warming, etc.? How can we be motivated if we don’t feel connected? Will we die off as a species as a result of this flaw?
Should I go become a Buddhist now?
Hi, here’s a very short update regarding the adventures of Baklava, the Night Elf Druid that likes to kill defenseless deer and sit on campfires.
Baklava is now Level 16.
My brother recently made an adjustment to his character. Characters in World of Warcraft, when not killing deer, can focus on pursuing two professions. My brother recently learned that you can pick two professions that have synergies.
If you pursue Herbology and Alchemy as your professions, you can take the flowers and plants you pick and make potions. If you choose Tanning and Leathermaking, you can make items from the pelts you collect from animals.
Baklava’s professions of choice were Herbology and Tanning, which have absolutely no synergies whatsoever. He was essentially able to gather raw materials for two unrelated things, but couldn’t actually do anything with them. Baklava has now “unlearned” Herbology and is on the track to be a Leathermaker.
For those of you who might miss Baklava’s spice bread, please do not worry. It is still possible to have hobbies. Cooking is one of Baklava’s hobbies, and will always have a place in his dark purple heart.
While online, Baklava has been invited on numerous occasions by a persistent fellow who wants him to join a guild called the “Italian World Order”. My brother would understand Greeks seeking him out, as he bears the name of a sweet dessert, but was surprised to be contacted by Italians. Baklava is uncertain about the purpose of this guild, and how serious it is about Italian global domination. As of yet, he has not sought further information or expressed interest in joining.
And now, another Night Elf babe.
But it will take the first commenter with an idea to make this post truly shine.

For Freida Bee – an iSplotchy upgraded with a John Oates ‘stache circa ’85 and fanny pack combo. 
I got up very early on Friday morning, much earlier than I normally do. I decided to go into work.
After I left the train station, and walked to my place of work, I stopped as cars were exiting the Eisenhower expressway to downtown.
In this case, they weren’t your average cars, but were three trucks in a line, and looked very similar to this:
If it’s not clear to you, the above picture is of a truck that is *not* pulling a container that can haul stuff. All that truck is pulling is a two-sided billboard.
I was witness to what I assume was the beginning of a long day of driving for these trucks. Their drivers were given the task of weaving through busy sections of Chicago to advertise — that’s it, just advertisement, for it’s own sake.
I’ve always said increased traffic congestion, environmental pollution and dependence on foreign oil were signs of a great ad.
As of today, it’s only one month until I start helping build homes for the New Orleans Area Habitat For Humanity.
I’ll be working there from Tuesday, December 18th, through Saturday, December 22nd. A buddy of mine and I will be driving down to New Orleans on the 16th.
I didn’t have a lot of wiggle room for when I was going down, as MizSplotchy is going to grad school now and I can’t really be gone for any stretch of time when she’s in class.
I know Bubs has plans to go down there sometime in the spring. I’d really encourage anyone reading this to consider going down there to help out.
I’ll do my best to report on the state of things, and how they have changed (or not) since I was last down there, in March of 2006. I’m planning on taking lots of pictures — homebuilding, fried pickle-eating, y’know, the “highlights”.
Read a little more about the project at my previous post here.
If you don’t know the drill — first commenter with an idea gets a doodle.

Hello, my good blogfriends!
My name is Strudel, a mysterious gentleman of indeterminate ethnic origin! Splotchy has asked me to help him with his little website, and so, I help! What can I do, but help? That is who I am, after all. I am Strudel.
I want to learn you an exciting new opportunity in the realm of Technorati Authority magic! As Mister Bearded Man Dorion Carroll will tell you in a post on his own famous Technorati blog:
The Technorati Top 100 shows the most popular 100 blogs based on Technorati Authority. The #1 ranked blog is the blog with the most other distinct blogs linking to it in the last 6 months. If your blog’s rank is, say 305,316, this indicates that there are 305,315 blog ranks separating your blog from the #1 position.
Ha, ha, ha! That is a good one, Mister Dorion Carroll. What else you have to say?
The best way to increase your Technorati Authority is to write things that are interesting to other bloggers so they’ll link to you. Linking to source material when you blog is also a great way to engage in conversation and help others find what you find interesting.
Ha, ha, HA! That is so very funny, Mister Dorion Carroll.
But to be serious men and ladies. I have for you a onetime offer. You do not need to write interesting things. You do not need to engage your conversation. I can give you Technorati Authority beyond your wild blogger imaginings. I have foolproof way to improve your Authority so much it grow bigger than BoinkBoink!
Here is my idea, which Mr. Splotchy says I may to share with you.
It does not cost you anything. It is free. I GIVE TO YOU.
You take Mister Splotchy’s website address.
It is this:
http://isplotchy.com/blog
You take this address and you make link to it on your blog. Then you get five people to list Mister Splotchy’s address and YOUR blog address. You see where I go with this?
Them people that put yours and Mister Splotchy address gets five more people to list THEIR address, YOUR address and Mister Splotchy address.
Abacabra! You have many new points to your Authority. You see?
No?
You want picture?
See you later, high-ranked Technorati Authority brothers and sisters!
