I'm the host on tap for today, and am at a loss for any creative impression. This is greatly evidenced by the lack of enthusiasm at my own blog.
Guest hosting is a prestigous honor, one that shouldn't be taken lightly. It's imperative that you "one-up" the previous posters in both charm and witty banter. So you can see the conundrum that I'm worked into here not having anything with teeth - anything of brilliant matter.
In my own experience, it's best just to let writer's block unblock itself through the natural course of time. Any attempt at forcing a notion only prolongs the proverbial dead end. Waiting is not a problem when you aren't responsible for the readership of another person. And as nice as Joy is and would never say anything bad about the job I did here, I certainly don't want to relay her traffice to another race.
So whilst I think of something original, something worth while of Joy quality, something undeniably peppy, please help me start a "Hundreds List" for Joy Joy Bean.
Leave what you know about Joy in the comment section and she can tweek and create as needed to complete her list.

1. Joy has cool friends.
One time a few years ago Joy & I were in a convenience store buying some slurpees and a Milky Way bar when these thugs ran in with guns to rob the place. I personally saw Joy spin kick the first guy into unconsciousness then snap the other guy's neck with her bare hands. Then she ripped off his ear as a trophy commemorating her kill.
