A delayed thanks goes out to the mind behind the Blogometer. Last week's post and poll concerning the kitten lighter made the "Lest We Forget" section of its Thursday edition, hopefully earning a quick glance from at least one of the various media bigshots, national bloggers and influential lawmakers that make up its readership.

If Wonkette followed the link, well, that would be downright swell.

As for the lighter, I headed out to the airport today to fetch it, a full 24 hours *after* a clearly stated 30 day maximum length of storage. Was it still out there? Are you on the edge of your seat, eyes wide, eager to hear the fate of that disposable lighter?

If so, check back on Friday. All will be revealed then.
