The real reason, of course, is simply because I won The Great Weblog Lottery.  Like a regular lottery, The Great Weblog Lottery confers upon some undeserving schmoe a veritable windfall for no fathomable reason. (Although unlike a regular lottery, said schmoe cannot then purchase a miniature golf course).<\/p>\n<p>The windfall in The Great Weblog Lottery is publicity, which is to a blogger&#8217;s ego what nitroglycerine is to a campfire.  But if I learned anything from the Spider-Man movie it&#8217;s that with great power comes an inability to hook up with Kirsten Dunst, along with a wheelbarrel full of guilt.  So despite the fact that 94% of my new visitors never made it through the first paragraph (see above), I would kindly ask that the remaining 6% please check out some of the equally worthy blogs listed below; blogs that are little-known but just as deserving of an increased readership.<\/p>\n<table  class=\" table table-hover\" cols=3 align='center'>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.dogdoorofdeath.org\/default.htm'>Dog Door of Death<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/kafkaesque.blogspot.com\/'>Kafkaesque<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.hornbell.com\/'>Clark Hornbell<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.brucehartmandesign.com\/us\/index.php'>Bruce Hartman<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/kennethhunt.com\/'>Kenneth Hunt<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.speedysnail.com'>Speedy Snail<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.jerrykindall.com'>Jerry Kindall<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.amphiskios.net'>Amphiskios<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class='post'><a href='http:\/\/www.organicmechanic.org'>Organic Mechanic<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<div class='post'>\nIf you know of a relatively unknown but nonetheless enjoyable blog, feel free to mention it in the comments.  <i>(In fact, here&#8217;s one from the comments that I am hereby adding to the list:  <a href='http:\/\/smartypants.diaryland.com\/'>Mimi Smartypants<\/a>.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>P.s.
