Hey ya’ll,
I’m lurking on Native’s page again. Seems I can only get her out of the way on Fridays, but I’ll take that. So how are things in your neck of the woods. Native has been so busy lately, I’ve hardly been entertained. What do you do when your humans leave you? Ugh, the lost table food and belly rubs.
As you can tell, there have been no long urine-driven walks for me. I’ve barely had time to sqwuat a paw and do my business. Couldn’t even see the forest for the trees, literally, since all I could do was get just close enough to a tree to do the do. I’ll be glad when things slow down for her..
Oh-oh. Here she comes running in to grab something now. Darnit!!! I gotta cut this short and go before she becomes on to me. Later. CAtch you next week when I can really have my say. Oh yeah, my girl Max is gonna guest blog soon. Be on the lo o k o u t…….
Roof!!

<>Today, I need your help. Seriously. Tell your friends and your cousins and them to come on over and take my Boondocks poll for the sake of research. I have to counter a claim with data that only 40 to 50 year olds read the Boondocks since that is the group that subscribes to newspapers. The internet and the book collections are options too, and we do read the funnies. We here in the Blogsome area know that not to be the truth, but I need proof!!!! So, PLEASE put your answers in the comments.
*Please note, that this is only one aspect of my research. I just thought the anonymity of blogging may be useful in getting more honest responses. And please comment, I see that you stop by but don’t comment in my little counter thingy, so do the do please.*
How often do you read the Boondocks and where? (newspaper, online newspaper, other website, in the books, etc.)
How old are you?
Where are you located?
Male or Female?
What are the ages of others you know who read the Boondocks?
What attracts you to the strip?
Add any additional information.
Thanks for your time.
I’m getting the copied and pasted versions that are coming to my personal email for those of you who have it, so thank you, and keep those surveys coming. I appreciate it!!

Not much shakin’ today, so I thought I’d push you on over to some other sites. Check out the Hostess at the After Party or Will, who if it’s a good day is in his write mind. Links to your right. Also, BruthaCode is pretty funny most days and he’s at bruthacode.com. I haven’t figured out how to put a link in here yet.
So check back tomorrow and we’ll see what I can do for you.
No thoughts today.
