Squink is starstruck by her master's awesomeness

Not to be confused with any of the other members with critter avatars, which is about half of us, critttter with the hardest 'T' sound you will ever hear just got her 100th star! This is a major cause for celebration. Thankfully there will be plenty of fireworks detonated today in her homeland to commemorate this event.

Critttter is one of my favorite sifters. She finds some of the coolest old musical gems just to remind us that there actually was music before Miley Cyrus. Not that rusty classics are the only videos she posts. She's given us:

Rock concerts at mental institutions,
Billion-dollar underground art museums,
Flying steamrollers,
Naked Swedish soldiers,
107 year-old light bulbs, and her
Shitlist.

I always enjoy reading her comments too. Sometimes I swear she's really a man pretending to be a woman, because everyone knows that the fair sex is biologically not funny. I'd really hate to find out that all this time I've been laughing at the remarks of a *gasp* woman.

So give it up for critttter, one of the most interesting and entertaining members I've found in my time here.

Mintbbb has hit the big 50 star points (as I have yet to do). As a brand new member to the society, this is a huge gain for our Videosift population. I personally like her Whose Line content best, but she also has some nice cute puppies. Let's all hope she sticks around for a long time to come. A nice pat on the back would be welcome, I'm sure. *nudge*

My mom rocks, so does yours. Don't really care if she's tea-toatllin',reformed and born-again from a life a hard knocks, some Oxford trash with an attitude, or some circuit court judge inna a vendetta-kinna-mood for all black males, you love her and you know it......how many moms we got here, and how many buns in the oven???....
Swampgirl, yer a mom? Happy today and what about we say thanks for the few and brave??-(at least in the U.S. anyhow)

-Swampgirl say:

"Doesn't matter how old we are or how independent we feel... we all have one that made us and/or raised us. There's a sweet little old lady in S.C. tonight that locked her doors, turned off the coffee pot, said her prayers for me and my brothers and went to bed, and no matter how I think or feel about her religion or politics.. I know her love for me is as pure as it gets. She's my mom! She thinks about my well being every day .
I know this because I feel the same way about my children. They are going to grow up and leave, and they will know ...that no matter what. there's gonna be this little old lady thinking about them and their happiness back home... Well it will be like that except there will probably be bourbon instead of coffee."

-Add yer best for mom, best behavior, and don't say cuss words...unless yer mom does-

Holy Cats! IssyKitty gets her 500th star point! Valued member since August of '07 Issy has made her mark on the Sift in both culture and content. I have been a disciple of Iss the Great, since our initial exchange was the first time the internet really talked back nicely to me. I am a student of the IssyKitty school of comment upvoting, which is if you have something nice to say, say it. If not prepare for a scratchin'! A little rundown on what it is to be Issy:

First (and characteristic) comment on the Sift:
>> ^Issykitty:
Yes, agree with twiddles... the annoying grating sounds of the bipeds were highly distracting from fully enjoying cuteness.

Her first Sifted Submission (I think):

Highest Rated:

She had the astoundingly good idea for a *happy channel a couple of months ago, and it's proven to have a lot of use.

Here's the key to Issydom, though: instead of running your mouth all the time, hunker down and get to voting. Look at these stats:

So let's congratulate Queen IssyKitty on her silver diamond coronation! But remember, be nice!

I thought this was pretty intersting/funny.

Thoughts?

From The Washington Post
Army Spc. Monica Brown was awarded the Silver Star for treating wounded soldiers under fire after their convoy was attacked in Afghanistan, and is only the second woman to receive the award since World War II. Despite her heroics, she was pulled from combat missions because of gender.
"We weren't supposed to take her out" on missions "but we had to because there was no other medic," said Lt. Martin Robbins, a platoon leader with Charlie Troop, 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, whose men Brown saved. "By regulations you're not supposed to," he said, but Brown "was one of the guys, mixing it up, clearing rooms, doing everything that anybody else was doing…."
In addition to the article, here’s a CBS interview with Brown and Katie Couric.

Iceland's finest has nothing but videos for us - 4 recently published list above. Am I alone in finding this amusing or at least odd that she's dominating FemmeSift at the moment?

Except now we have a handy diagram to show us exactly how bad, and where:

So ladies, (and gentlemen if wearing heels happens to be your thing), take note and consider what you are doing to yourself now, and how it will effect you later!

To all my VideoSiftin' Sisters...
I've noticed recently that there are a lot more of you around and about. This is good, for a long time, there were seemingly very few of us chicas using this site (I believe the Sift census we took a while back counted us as 15% of users), and fewer that were active members (for a while there it seemed like it was just me, Swampy, and the long lost LadyBug). But I've noticed that there are more of us now, and many of you are users that I had assumed were dudes at first- common occurrence actually, happens to me all the time, because unless you have a very gender specific handle, who knows otherwise.
So, if your game (I understand if you've decided to remain gender neutral for some reason or another), stop on by this thread and give a shout out, so we can all get to know one another!
