senior year in highschool i was voted best butt. it was one of those unofficial polls, but i won hands down. malcolm nominated me and everyone else agreed. (i had an enormous crush on malcolm, which i supposed matched my j-lo-sized backside so i accepted this honor with great humility and much joy.)
three years later a rapper know as sir mix-a-lot recorded a little diddy (no, not "p" diddy, a "little" diddy) called baby's got back. in 1993 he was awarded the grammy for best rap performance and babies with big butts were given the accolades due to them.
today, as i was perusing my favorite blogs, i noticed that abb had a great post on books. it's one of those blog-polls and i posted that i was gonna steal it. so here goes...
One book that changed your life. Are you there God? It's me, Margaret, by Judy Blume. what adolescent girl wasn't changed by judy blume?
One book you have read more than once. The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley this bok inspired my very first tatoo.
One book on a desert island. Ok, ok... my Bible... the NRS version. if i'm alone on a deserted island it would certainly be comforting... and it would need the apocrypha to keep me interested.
One book that made you laugh. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, by Louise Erdrich. i mean i laughed OUT LOUD
One book that made you cry. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. oh, this was a beautiful and tragic book.
One book you wish you had written. i am working on it now.
One book you wish had never been written. i offer the same answer as abb... not a one.
One book you are currently reading. The Lady in the Tower , by Jean Plaidy. i love historical fiction and i am fascinated by ann bolyn.
One book you have been meaning to read. the not-yet released romance by the pobble herself. i have an autographed copy printed from her very own computer.
and what do big butts, books, and blog-polls have to do with one another?
this
God's peace y'all

Just finished Kite Runner -- excellent book - reminded me of another book with similar story line in a different part of the world "Waiting for Snow in Havana" by Carlos Eire (I think that is the spelling of his last name).
That video is *corny*. Reminds me of something my youth group might've done.
But "Baby Got Back" was a revelation to me when I was younger, and I loved reading your book poll.
I loved the 'Last Report on the Miracles of Little No Horse"! My dad gave it to me. What a great read.
