For some time now, the fracas sidebar has held a butterfly asking you to click and give hugs to Ambriel. You can click through the links in the write-up, and read about Ambriel’s journey with cancer. When I learned a few months ago, that Ambriel might be facing another battle with cancer, I knew that my little hug clicker was meant for her. To date, more than 13,000 hugs have registered for her, and though she is happily, not facing what was dreaded… I have left it there.
Ambriel deserves hugs that cause that clicker to turn right over, and I’ll leave it there until it does. Please continue to hug her. I know one day, she will be able to frame a little screen capture of 999,999 hugs… all meant for her!
About fifteen minutes ago, I visited the blog of Ambriel’s mom, skywindows, and found a post she’d created yesterday, along with a video. Her post told us that tomorrow (actually today then, since I’m reading it not yesterday) is the anniversary of one year from the day they were told she had cancer. Skywindows created the video to share Ambriel’s journey.
I felt a need to place that video here, and ask you all to watch it.
I can’t explain in any better way, than just by saying I have felt both priviledged and blessed, to have been able to share even a little bit of their story. There isn’t a person in their family, who hasn’t been a person who has lifted up someone else… just by being the people they are.
I am happy then, to share a little bit of the blessing that is skywindows, brahnamin and their family… with you all.

As Fracas wished, the public spoke and though Mark Cuban had the lowest combined score from the judges, he was not sent home in week 4. In fact, Mark wasn’t even in the bottom two for the evening. Though the judges seemed shocked at the turnout, the bottom two celebrities after factoring in the audience vote, was none other than Melanie Brown and Floyd Mayweather with Floyd getting the sayonara song this week.
It seems that while the judges are obviously infatuated with varying celebrities each week and don’t always notice what’s important, the people at home do see what needs to be seen. In my week 3 review, I noted the lack of chemistry or personality clash between Melanie and Maksim, and apparently so did the rest of the viewing public. Melanie and Maksim will have to battle their demons if they want to continue because frankly, I’d rather watch Mark dance imperfectly but with enthusiasm, joy and sheer happiness at still being in the race, than watch Melanie and Maksim let us know what a chore it is for them to dance together. Dancing is supposed to draw the viewer in, and while he might not be as good at it as Melanie, Mark makes me want to watch him.
With Floyd gone, unless Melanie shapes up, she will undoubtedly be the replacement for which dancer the viewers choose to miss if the dreaded bathroom break needs to happen during showtime.
But this… this is supposed to be about Floyd, and so it shall be.
True to the impression he left on all of us back a week or so ago when he used his “chat with the host after your marks” time to plug his pay-per-view fight, he didn’t make it out of the competition without another plug for the fight. Who knows, perhaps he had that written into his contract… much like the contestants on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader are required to recite the “I may have blankety blank dollars, but I’m not smarter than a fifth grader” line. I’m not sure, but I’m glad he’s gone.
For those of you that aren’t. As per with each parting celebrity’s results post, I’ve included a photograph for you to enjoy your parting celeb one last time.
Floyd, as Bobbie Lynn Bowen said…
”Getting hit really isn’t that bad. The worst part is getting beat.”
At dancing Floyd, you got beat. Had you actually cared about the dancing, you might still be in the ‘ring’.

Some things have come to my attention today. Some disturbing, some that make a fracas shake her head and think, “Yes, that figures… I knew it all along.”
I shall share with you then, these revelations.
I have learned, that there is the possibility that some people have snuffed the poor old git.
No, no. Don’t be alarmed… he is still quite alive and kicking to be sure. One only needs to click the link to his blog to see that. He is most definitely alive and kicking, in fact, his new tactic is, as he explains… is to join me in posting “pictures of half naked people, luscious lips and salacious activities.”
Much like my encouragement to vote for bluepaintred, and to vote for JohnC, he has also encouraged readers to support Fuelmyblog. He has used ever so slight trickery to suggest that people might be supporting Fuelmyblog, but lo and behold, upon clicking the link he has created of his most trickery-laden words, one learns they have been transported to vote for none other than the daddy himself.
I’m aghast at his new tactics. Fooling his dear, dear readers into thinking they are voting for the honorable Kevin and Sylvie’s most honorable Fuelmyblog venture when the click actually takes them to the old git. Will he stop at nothing?
I have posted this comment at his blog.
- “I become more fearful each day, to click on his link. I have ordered an extra case of smelling salts and advised Mr. Fracas to book some time off work to stay home with me until the end of the month in case I should click one day and find photographs of the old git that cause me to faint.
- I’d be willing to share the salts if anyone else has the same concerns.”
Now, having assured you that he is still alive and well still his same old self, I would like to ask all the fraccy supporters not to snuff the poor chap over at fuelmyblog. There has been quite the competition between he and I, and indeed, there have been vast quantities of smelling salts purchased due to his cantankerous qualities, but fracas has compassion for the old git and does not want her supporters to snuff him. I am afraid that it will be too much for him to bear and I’d hate for the TG (that goddess of a woman who has been able to tolerate enjoy him all these years) to be forced to search for him should he run off like Gertrude the llama did quite recently.
And do not bring up his obsession with paper Uma as a reason to click that little button that says “snuff”. We must remember that he is old, and it is quite reasonable for the aged to develop these little crushes on movie stars in the same way that our young teens love to fill their walls with paper Orlando Bloom, or paper Vanessa Hudgens. It is harmless, and I’m sure the TG understands and bears him no ill will for it. (I understand she may or may not have some paper of her own in the pantry, though not because she is old, for she is not… but because, well… she is living with the old git. Nuff said.)
So, because there has been some very strong words back and forth due to this competition, I have decided to share some information with you. And lo… here is:
Everything You Always Wanted To Know About DaddyPapersurfer… But Were Afraid To Ask!
- Though he portrays himself as a poor old pensioner, he is actually rich beyond measure.
- In response to my giving him my valuable prize of the oneredpaperclip book I won by writing a witty and colorful post that clearly knocked the socks off of oneredpaperclip author (and the now resident and owner of a home in Kinley, Saskatchewan because of his superior trading skills) Kyle MacDonald , he did try to
suckerconvince not just I, but Sylvie as well, to participate in a wet t-shirt contest wearing shirts sporting his mug. - Indeed, he has
whinedsuggested the Fuelmyblog folks should remove not just me… but all Canadians from their registry. - Indeed, he has tried to sway the fraccy voters into snuffing fracas, but fracas doesn’t like the snuffing feature and thinks it is enough to not vote for someone. Snuffing should be saved for people who do something untoward to the Fuelmyblog folks, who have been good, kind people and created a community second to none. Please don’t snuff the old git. Just vote for me every day instead.
But now, now. Fracas is mainly a good-natured kind of gal… as are most Canadians (proven by world opinion that is) and so does not want fraccers to think she is really upset with the old git. Nawww. Fracas is here to let you know that indeed, there are good points to be made about him, cantankerous old fart or not. Here are some.
- He continues to post in his world’s longest thread attempt. Pretty ambitious for an old man I’d say. Nevermind he requires the likes of paper Uma to keep his mind entertained, Sylvie and 7osteen to check on him daily, JohnC to get him riled up just so we know for sure he’s alive in there, and an assortment of others who stop by infrequently just to witness the spectacle.
- He has a tremendously talented grandson. Wait. That might be to someone else’s credit. We’ll let him have that one though… I think Junior Papersurfer would want to let grandpa win here and there.
- He has the power of Tippex.
In closing, please dear fraccers, don’t snuff the old git. He is trying in every way that he can, to win the contest and use the money for more of his schemes (though my winning the contest would help reimburse me for the many, many dollars I have spent on the smelling salts I’ve required due to his cantankerous behaviour) but rather than want him to suffer the agony of the snuffs, I would rather the voters each found one other person to vote for your dearest friend fracas, and show the poor old fellow that trickery only works in the movies. It’s our duty, and one I am proud to be undertaking.
After all, if it takes a village to raise a child… it most certainly also takes a village to take care of an old fart.
I’m willing to do my part. Please do yours.
Click the Canadian Flag, vote for Fracas and help teach DaddyPapersurfer that trickery never pays.










“The anniversary of Jessica McClure’s rescue passed Tuesday like almost every other day in the 21-year-old’s life, with no public comment from her about the event that once captivated viewers around the world.The young wife and mother is living quietly in this West Texas city, the same one where she fell into the backyard well.”
“Jessica has no memory of the ordeal, the loss of part of one foot, and the 15 operations that followed the 2½ days she spent wedged all alone in the well, singing about Winnie the Pooh.
