<strong>That's Baloney!</strong> I want to start today with <a href="http://www.thatsbaloney.com/2010/10/riding-in-cars-with-boys.html">this little tidbit from a blogger known around town as Jonni Baloney</a>. Because I'm sure she's not the only person who has had to explain to someone else, child or otherwise, why exactly a vehicle is sporting decor from its hitch made to look like male underparts. Welcome to Oklahoma, baby.

And yes, someone please get to work on Jonni's car boob idea.

<strong>Tulsa State Fair wrap-ups</strong>. Relive the 2010 fair with <a href="http://cindysclipboard.blogspot.com/2010/10/sugar-arts-show.html">Cindy's Clipboard</a>, <a href="http://www.tulsafoodblog.com/tulsa-fried-food/deep-fried-butter-at-the-tulsa-state-fair">Tulsa Food Blog</a> and <a href="http://thislandpress.com/10/09/2010/the-tulsa-state-fair-a-photo-essay/">Michael Cooper with This Land Press</a>. The Real Housewives of Oklahoma has a post about the fair, too, <a href="http://www.therhok.com/2010/10/how-to-rhok-state-fair.html">complete with a fair sighting bingo card</a>. Oh, and Dana and her four children (<em>four!</em> Including a set of red-headed twins!) made it through the fair, too, <a href="http://surviving4kids.blogspot.com/2010/10/tulsa-state-fair-2010.html">though some pantslessness was involved</a>.

<strong>This Land Press</strong>. And speaking also of This Land Press, check out these posts from Oklahoma's newest journal:

<a href="http://thislandpress.com/10/10/2010/running-tulsa/">Running Tulsa, by Jessica Baxter</a>. I love what Jessica says about how running can be an organic method for urban exploration.
<a href="http://thislandpress.com/10/03/2010/the-end-of-circulars/">The End of Circulars, by Lindsey Neal</a>. Lindsey talks to Gerald Buckley about Grocio.com, a Tulsa-based company that distributes grocery circulars. Could the proliferation of smartphones mean the end of paper coupons? <a href="http://thislandpress.com/10/03/2010/the-end-of-circulars/">Read on</a>.

<strong>And So She Blogs</strong>. <a href="http://andsosheblogs.com/tulsa/?p=257">Carrisa makes it through an interesting moment in the bathroom at Mimi's Cafe</a>. My thought? I am totally going to do stuff like that when I'm 80.

<strong>Tulsa Gal</strong>. Nancy hatches yet another Tulsa history mystery, <a href="http://www.tulsagal.net/2010/10/tulsas-war-memorial-history.html">this time about Tulsa's war memorials</a>.

<strong>Tulsa SPCA</strong>. Am I the only one who oooos and awws over <a href="http://tulsaspca.blogspot.com/">the animals featured on the Tulsa SPCA blog</a>? Makes me want to buy a giant farm and adopt and feed and love them all.

<strong>The Noshery</strong>. Meseidy gave a fall table dinner party that got her to the next round in the foodbuzz Project Food Blog contest (<a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog">which is a big damn deal, by the way</a>). It's no wonder - practically everything she made was from scratch, including the ricotta cheese. Seriously. If you love food, you absolutely must be reading this blog.

<strong>The Art of Manliness</strong>. Brett and Kate serve up <a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2010/10/06/surviving-in-the-wild-19-common-edible-plants/">a list of 19 common edible plants</a>. Which is always good to know, if you ask me.

<strong>Crash Test Mommy</strong>. <a href="http://surviving4kids.blogspot.com/2010/10/tulsa-state-fair-2010.html">Jenny acknowledged in a post last week that starting to write is hard</a>. But, start we must, and Jenny has the encouraging words to get you going.

<strong>Global Table Adventure</strong>. <a href="http://globaltableadventure.com/">Food from Chile and China</a> - that's what's on tap at Sasha's Global Table Adventure, a blog that charts a Tulsa family's journey through 195 countries, one meal at a time.

<strong>Vegging Out in T-Town</strong>.

Now you can feast your eyes <em>and</em> your face.
