HubCap: This week's blog highlights
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 10/19/2006

If you were me, this is what your life at work would be like. About 30 hours a week, you'd do actual newspaper work: editing, answering e-mails, answering the phone, making phone calls, and messing around with Web sites. The other 10 hours, you'd get to read blogs. Most of the time, you'd also be eating, and/or debating whether or not you should run downstairs and get some espresso. Also, you'd have a big scab on your left elbow that you keep accidentally whacking on different things.

If you've always wanted to read every single good blog on YourHub.com but just haven't had the time to separate the good ones from the chaff, I'm your man. Here's all the cool stuff that's been posted since Oct. 15.

Jim Toft, our new Denver Nuggets expert, says J.R. Smith is the man the Nuggets need at the two-guard position. Better than Kobe Bryant in his first two years? Jim's stats say so.

Micheal Gieger, our plumbing blogger, writes his own obituary. A sample: "Mr. Gieger's wife, Melanie added, 'Micheal grew up in the toilet but rose above his crappy surroundings to become a better person. His generosity overflowed to the hearts of others.'"

William Prather, of Arvada, offers his salute to step-parents. He's married to one, so this might be a good move on his part. And cheaper than a dozen roses.

Gladys Mercier, of Arvada, shares the tale of "Look what followed me home!" Hint: It's not a cat or a dog, but it's not a baaaaaad thing either.

Ef Rodriguez, of Boulder, shares some goings-on at CU's Campus Press that are sure to spark some debate.

Bill Boucher, our man in Brighton, reminisces about going to confession in his Catholic school days in his latest blog entry, "Mea Culpa."

Michael Rule, of Larkspur, shares a tale of how a miniature Australian shepherd with a bad leg, Lucky, came to replace his best friend, Wylie, who died in a tragic accident.

Sound the death knell. After more than a month of speculation, Barbara Neff's pumpkin plant has finally ... failed to mature. Offer your condolences here.

Mike Bates shares some of his vacation photos, in which he cooks some freshly-caught crab in the San Juan Islands near Seattle.

Danette Glenn-Havlik put up some photos of her 2-year-old pumpkin, named Hunter. The pumpkin oddly resembles a little boy.

James Syring give us his tips on how to be "a person of artistic temperament." There is a lot of scotch involved.

Ann Himel reveals what she thinks about during the two minutes her Sonicare toothbrush is running. Okay, this one's better than it sounds, trust me.

Sandy Clifton has her own take on pick-up lines. Note: Guy who works with Sandy and won't stop asking her if she's sure she's married: You should probably read this.

Is buying a Halloween costume for a 3-year-old a waste of money? If you're expecting them to leave the house on Halloween night, it might be. Karin Malchow has some insight.

Rob Guthrie, who knows a lot more about scary stories than one might think upon first meeting him, shares some of his favorite authors, movies and Halloween memories, which might leave his wife, Amy, a little blushing.

What kinds of things does a man see during seven years of commuting from Thornton to the Denver Tech Center? Strange things. Ryan Hatch has a pretty good list going.

Um, other than being forced to sit in front of a computer for 10 hours a day with no bathroom breaks and no food, nothing, boss.
