"Oh Boy, A Carnival!"

Welcome to the latest Gonzo Blog Carnival, a free-for-all of Blogosphere Madness! This carnival was made possible by For Your Success and Fear and Loathing - The Gonzo Papers.

Let's get started, shall we? We shall!

First, a timely post from The Wandering Author... he asks the question on so many people's mind these past two weeks: What caused the Virginia Tech shooting?

Next, let's do some traveling!

Ever wondered why British policemen are called "bobbies"? The Diary From England has your answers. Next up, LJP in Australia writes on SaveSaveSave about the details of her stay at the Great Ocean Hotel. Heather in Beautiful British Columbia, on a journey of her own, shares the details of Day 18 of her Maryland-Florida trip. And Queen of Pentacle's Blog wants to move to Europe. We Americans can't, of course, afford vacations.

Feeling kinky?

Tales of Ladies, Goddesses and Bitches has written a story for you. And The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly has an intriguing picture found in the blogosphere.

Moving on to the personal (but not *that* personal)...

The Lives and Times... of Anthony McCune has a Thanksgiving thought on how you will want to look back on your life 26 years in the future. The Poodle (and Dog) Blog tells of a bird that just had to fly free. Cardin at OptimistLab shares with us the lessons we can learn at the Taco Shack.

Here's some posts that are (unintentionally) somewhat meta.

The "Not-So" News has a post on the medical debate over whether to diagnose a child as obese (medically) or overweight (lazy fatasses). If the latter, I'll suggest we all blog less. But don't ask me to start! And Friday's Child has a blog post... on 'Privacy'.

A lot of poets in the blogosphere. Let's see what they've written.

Writerwoman at The Shores of My Dreams has one to share. The Crimsonflaw Lived To Tell The Tale has one called 'Silence'. My Soul's Phantasm has one called 'Portrait'. And Reminiscences of a Bleeding Soul has an emotional piece called 'Victoria's Demise'.

Meanwhile, two blogs have stories/poems created by multiple user participation. Aspiring Romance Writer has one such story in The Writer's Game. And Poets Who Blog does the same with 'Second Group Poem'.

Finally, I end with an advice-related post... The Home Biz Blogger writes about Microsoft Outlook '07 and how you can use it for daily task management. Me? I'm using a Mac.

And that's the end of the carnival! Thanks for coming! Enjoy the cotton candy!
