“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no weebles…”
— Psalm 23, Weebles Edition of the King James Bible
Welcome. If you’re looking for sweet, inspirational posts with rainbows, unicorns, babies and stuff, you’ve come to the wrong fucking blog.
If, however, you aren’t offended by copious amounts of swearing and ranting, if you enjoy Hot Dead Guys and Chicks, psychic phenomena, snide commentary, dramatic and/or pseudo-dramatic storytelling, and the occasional story about Pickles the Cat, then you’re in the right place.
Come on in and fix yourself a drink or two. Have some hors d’oeuvres. And pay no mind to the guy over there lying in the pool of blood. He’s just…sleeping.
And Weebles…Weebles rock…the new Weebles suck…bring back the old ones, I say!
I agree, Jennifer—the new ones are embarrassingly ugly. Old-school Weebles all the way. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for following. I look forward to reading more about hot dead guys!
Thanks for visiting! There will be many more hot dead guys to come so stay tuned!
Madame Weebles,
Thank you for giving me a sign of life. Now I have found your blog.
Le Clown
And thank you as well, for expanding my own blogosphere.
Mme Weebles
If you are an old lady at 44, what does that make me at 52? Damn you. Funny “about” though and you had me at liking animals to people. I’m in!
No, see, I’m a cranky old lady *in spite of* being only 44. Hell, I was a cranky old lady when I was only 10. And 52 is hardly old, my new friend.
I just had to click on your Gravatar to make sure it was what I thought it was and yes, I was right. It is a kitten sniper.
AHHHH HAHAHAHAHA
You betcha!
HAHA…. I love it… brillant blog…
I also have a serious preference to fancy pens that make my writing appear much more artistic than it is and I am a huge and possibly only 1 of ten people who love to still use pencils ! Thanks for your follow! I look forward to your posts!
Thank you for your follow as well—also, I love Irish stuff (and as you’ll discover if you peruse through my entries, I have a serious thing for Irish men in particular) so I will be looking forward to reading more of your blog.
Sláinte!
AH serious mis-type ….*huge fan… (not person)…of pencils…. I avoid gaining fat by chewing on the pencil.. nothing gets rid of hunger like the taste of lead
You are definitely one of the few I’ve heard of who loves to use pencils. And I think the phrase, “Nothing gets rid of hunger like the taste of lead” is a keeper.
Welcome to the Weebles Family!
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I like what you are doing here, though I never played with Weebles when I was a kid.
What do professional historians do?
I could get used to a blog like this. twinkly
And thank you for stopping by and following mine as well. I also never played with Weebles when I was a kid, so I’m making up for lost time. I now have a huge collection of Weebles on my desk and they’re threatening to take over.
Professional historians who aren’t professors aren’t the norm, but they exist. I did writing/research/curating for museum exhibitions, mostly. It was fun, but eventually I sold out—it’s hard to make a living as a historian unless you have a trust fund or a sugar daddy. And sadly, I have neither.
Congratulations! I have just awarded you with Versatile and Beautiful blog awards! http://healthyandholistic.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/my-first-blog-award-and-award-giveaway/
Wow, that’s incredibly nice — thank you very much!!
That explains it. Too, too much awesomeness on my part. Ah, don’t think so.
But seriously. I am ready to cry over this. Any ideas?
I just rescued two more of your comments from spam—I don’t understand, there’s no reason why it shold do that, and there’s no way to tell the WP spam filter to recognize certain comments/sources as legitimate. Not sure why WP is tinkering around, if things ain’t broke, they shouldn’t fix.
Oh my god, you’re me! Only I’m 43 and not a historian. And we probably live far apart, have completely different lives, and look nothing alike. Other than that, we’re exactly the same.
Sister! Except for the differences, it’s like looking in a mirror!
Cher Madame,
I have added your blog to my blog roll. But do not get too excited. I don’t have high hits and no one seems to attend to my blogroll. But I know you’re there and I know you belong! twinkly
Thank you so much! The important thing is that you have a great blog and that eventually people will realize that they’ve been missing out and will need to tune in daily.
Weebles wobble and they don’t fall down. Love weebles and your lineup.
They really don’t fall down. I’ve tried to make them fall but they really do always bounce right back up again. And thank you very much for your comment! I am now going to check out your blog as well.
(:
Madame Weebles, I know this thing is going around a lot and you’ve already been nominated, but I love your blog and wanted to include it in my list. So, congratulations, you’ve been nominated for the Versatile and Beautiful Blogger Awards cubed! http://largeself.com/2012/05/19/beautiful-and-versatile-blogger-awards/
Wow, thank you so much, Cathy!! It really is so nice to know that you’re enjoying my blog!
I’ve met my twin from different parents. a twin who is two years younger than I am. I feel blessed and kinda gassy.
You’re feeling kinda gassy today too? That’s just creepy. What number am I thinking of right now?
94.
That’s truly eerie.
hi … thanks for liking my blog, and welcome to my world. gotta love anyone who goes by the name of madame weebles. looks like lots of interesting stuff here, so consider me a follower (even though, by nature, i’m not)
And thank you as well! The Weebles and I are most pleased to have you join us.
You stopped by one of my blogs today…the boring one. I would like to invite you to http://nothobblingnow.wordpress.com/ there you will find everything you are hoping for. Okay, maybe not everything, but it is the fun blog.
Excellent. Thank you for the invite!
Whaaaaa?! 44 is hardly considered a cranky old lady, unless you are one of those women that have a tanning problem and you look 20years older than you really are…lol.
It’s true, I’m cranky before my time. I’ve been cranky since I was a kid. Truly, I have. I like to think it’s part of my charm.
Nice place you’ve got here! Thanks for stopping by my own wee naff blog. Stop in any time. I’ll put kettle on and scrounge up some biscuits!
I love the word “naff.” I will be sure to visit you again soon!
Real books and analog clocks.
Old school all the way.
I have nominated you for the Versatile Blog Award. It’s okay if you choose not to accept the nomination, just know that your blog has touched me. If you choose to accept the award, here are the guidelines: http://geniespeaks.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/versatile-blogger-award/
Thank you so much, Genie, that’s very nice of you!!
Hello, MW! I’ve awarded you the Commenter/Commentator Award. Thank for your wonderful comments on my blog and your responses on yours! http://largeself.com/2012/06/08/the-commentercommentator-awards/
Yay! Thank you much, Cathy!! Your blog posts and comments are so easy to respond to!
I can’t believe it took me this long to click over to your blog from Le Clown! Thanks for following me. Seems there are a lot of us 40-something (me=43) navel gazers on WordPress…must be that harried working motherhood (or full-time motherhood) that sends us running toward some creative outlet for a little ‘me time’.
I’m enjoying perusing your musings.
Excellent to see you here—please join us as often as you like, I’m very happy you’re here!
Hello Madame Weebles! Just a brief one; looking forward to getting stuck in though! Your sniper kitten and starfish are adorable by the way.
Oh and, “What is done out of love always happens beyond good and weebles.”
- Friedrich Wiebzsche
Hello Miss Gloria!! So happy to see you here. And thank you for sharing these words of wisdom from Wiebzsche—not many people know of his groundbreaking treatise on good and Weebles…
Then we must educate them Madame!
Hi…Just to let you know, I really like your blog and nominated it for a Beautiful Blog Award.
Apologies for not seeing this sooner, sybaritica, and thank you so much!!!!
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, but it was just recently I clicked on your gravatar to confirm whether in fact the kitten was doing what I thought it was. Any particular target in the cross-hairs?
No targets, Margie—I just love this photo and it also reminds me of my favorite cat, who I didn’t have as a kitten but I’m pretty sure she would have had this attitude…
Love your blog! You are funny…love the subway man-junk seat hogs! Here on the west coast we don’t have subways, but those same well-endowed guys are here…they drive really big trucks to indicate their manliness or lack of. Whenever I see one I can’t help but yell out…there’s a stubby! Maybe try that on the subway!
Thanks for checking my blog out, I’m glad to know you!
Not sure how I missed this comment, societyred, my apologies!! I suppose our “well-endowed” friends find ways to advertise no matter where they are, eh? Hope all is well with you!
Hey! I got to your blog because I absolutely loved your name
And now I love your blog 
I’m gonna follow you and look forward to reading more of your stuff.
Hi Shalvika, and welcome! Thank you so much for the kind words, looking forward to seeing you here again!
Ok, as a fellow Teddy Roosevelt fan, and Reiki master, I have no choice but to follow YOU.
SWEET. Welcome!!
I think you forgot to mention how sexy and fun you are…
You just steamed up my glasses, lady.
I love reading your blog, so I’ve nominated it for a Reader Appreciation Award!
http://thereclininggentleman.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/reader-appreciation-award/
I’m a bit late replying here, Mr. Reclining Gentleman, sorry—but at least I wasn’t remiss in visiting your blog. Thank you again very much!!
You’re very welcome! Cant wait for your 7 sentences…
Hi, I came to visit from Clare’s blog. Very happy to make your acquaintance. I am always up for a bit more fun and humor in my life. Count me in. Beth
Hi there, blessedbeth, and welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a fan of Clare’s blog as well. Pull up a chair and join me!
will do. great to be along for the ride.
A cranky old lady wouldn’t use words like “funsies.”
Have you been to Mount Rushmore?
I suppose that’s true. “Funsies” isn’t the kind of word a truly cranky person would use. You busted me. D’oh.
I have not been to Mount Rushmore, I’d like to visit one day. I’d like to be able to carve a giant mustache on Thomas Jefferson just for funsies.
Delighted. Most animals are nicer than most people, but people are more interesting. Except for cats, in which case it’s vice versa.
Enchanted, poetmcgonagall. You’re right, people are usually more interesting, except for cats, who are infinitely more interesting than people. And cats know this.
Dear Madame Weeble, thank you for deigning my scribblings to be worthy of your attention. At the very least, I am obnoxiously purple, so I’m glad I could please on that front. I’m off to read more as you seem to be exactly my cup of tea.
Hello Chris! Apologies for the tardy reply. I am quite pleased that you’re purple—to me it’s not obnoxious at all. The world needs more purple.
Dear Madame Weeble,
You’re the first female I know whose favorite presidents are the same as mine. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.
You’ve got yourself a deal, bochum. And welcome! I’m very glad to see you.
I’ve awarded you the Lovely Blog Award. Check it out here! http://allthingsboys.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/ketchup/
Thank you very much, ma’am! Your blog is lovely as well. Although I was disappointed that your post wasn’t actually about ketchup.
Maybe next time…:=)
Madame Weeble, I am a crusty old broad already at the tender age of 35. I know how it is to be cranky before you’re due, and it is splendid. Love your blog!
All crusty old broads are welcome here, rollergiraffe. I’m very glad to have you here!!
Hi – I really like your place. And your name. I’m very hungry and Chinese is arriving soon. I am going to follow you and then comment on your writing pretty often. Wonderful place here, Weebles. Lalalalalalala I’ve had too many beers and I am hungry. Here comes the food. I’m in on your site.
Apologies for the delay in replying to this, theipc–thank you for your ind words! I hope you enjoyed the Chinese. Chinese food is one of my favorite things in the whole world.
Hello Mdm. Weebles!
You’ve been nominated for an award on my blog! (For real, I’m not spam)
http://alateralplunge.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/and-the-award-goes-to/
Congrats!
Thank you so much, Peaches!!! Very much appreciated!!
lol – I think I can relate to just about everything here except the television and fountain pens
Welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here! Fountain pens aren’t a really popular thing, but they’re fun to write with, and the inks are such pretty colors. And television, well, I’m a junkie, I can’t help myself.
-shiver- I’m so old I remember /having/ to use fountain pens when I went to school. I also remember being forced to learn how to write all my letters leaning to the right, with each one exactly the same height as its neighbours. Horrible. Caligraphy however is kinda fun.
I’ve come to you by way of Sweet Mother’s reggie… and I love you already. Haven’t read one post yet. Just this. Love, love, love. Look forward to following you. Cheers. :>
Hello there, Wandering, and welcome!! May this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
Yep, yep! I hope so, too. Thanks for the follow! :>
Madame Weebles,
Would you believe that I even made more cuts to my blogroll? You made of course the top 12…
http://clownonfire.wordpress.com/blogroll/
Le Clown
I’m not even bullshitting this time when I say I’m quite honored, Le Clown.
One wonders why there are no weebles on twitter.
Alas, Weebles are too lazy for Twitter.
You’re 44? You don’t look a day over invisible!
I know, that vanishing cream really does work wonders.
You’re truly a joy and a delight to read and be read by.
Verily I thank you sir.
It was sort of a mock exuberance.
Nice one.
Your humor is delicious.
Thank you so much, Red! Welcome!
Le Clown said I should bring this to your attention and who am I to disagree http://brianinajar.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/weebles-wobble/
Ordinarily I would say that Le Clown is not someone who should be obeyed, but in this case I’m glad you did!
Madame Weebles, you are my kind of person….look forward to swimming in your blog with great smirks and warped insights. Love it!
Why thank you! I’m very happy you’ve joined me here, welcome!
The utility of Freshly Pressed is finally manifest; without it, I’d not have found this elegant collection of words, and I’d be the poorer for it. Even if this place is haunted.
Only benign hauntings, I can assure you. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, ravensmarch.
Cool! I’ve had many a friend before, but never an honest-to-goodness Madame! Well, there WAS that one time in Columbus, Georgia, but that was during a sci-fi/fantasy con, so I’m not counting THAT one……
What happens at sci-fi/fantasy cons, stays at sci-fi/fantasy cons, John. No worries.
Welcome! It’s so nice so see you here!
I don’t know if I’d say that – I met my wife-to-be at a Dallas con, and ended up bringing her up to Chicago to marry me!
(But more details will follow in my upcoming post.)
)
Oh, and don’t take this as anything creepy, but I think you have one of the sexiest Email addresses I’ve ever seen! (This from a guy who defines “Top Gun” as F-14 porn, and frequently asks “Tom WHO?”.
Believe me, I’m with you on the plane porn! The SR-71 is one of my all-time favorites. And I miss the F-14. That was our last swing-wing fighter. Sigh.
I gotta ask – does the term “Blohm Und Voss BV-141″ mean anything to you? (No peeking at Wiki!
) If so, I think I may be in love…… 
That’s the reconnaissance plane the Germans tinkered with, yes?
Key point – asymmetric. Single-engined fuselage with tail to the left, canopy on the wing to the right. Crazy-looking, but actually flew well! (It’s a REALLY rare thing to find anybody who’s even heard of the dang thing!
)
I think I need to Email you on the side – if that’s cool with you. (Yes, I need to ask permission – I don’t need any more jealous husbands tracking me down. Um … er … not that I have any doing so NOW – wait, who is that outside? Oopsgottagocatchyalater!)
I don’t know much about the BV-141, but now I think I’ll have to read up on it. Asymetricity in a plane?? That’s some sick twisted stuff. I do like the German flying wing, though.
Feel free to email — you know he address!
You are supposed to be where you are…when you get there. Thank you for arriving on JOTS. No more interloping and reading Weebles in the dark. I fear not….
And thank you for arriving here! All in good time.
Glad I found you on FP. I love your writing and your sense of humor. You have a new fan!!
Hello there and welcome! I’m very glad you found me!!
I hereby testify that I’ve given you the So Sweet Blog award for being great and funny and weeblish
http://beckysaysthings.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/becky-says-things-about-only-another-ruddy-award/?preview=true&preview_id=711&preview_nonce=f21569d69e
Thank you very very much!
Excuse me? Old lady at 44? Now I’m REALLY feeling old!
Hello there, Talk to Me, and welcome! No need to feel old, the point I make here is that I’m an old lady DESPITE being only 44. I’ve always been a cranky old lady, really, even when I was 10. I’m just starting to grow into it now.
Good to know there’s another Luddite left on the planet – thought I was the only one left
Nope. I still am too, Valerie. I appreciate the convenience of some of the newfangled stuff out there but I’m pretty old school when it comes right down to it!
I love the fact that I can’t immediately say why I feel a little buzz each time I see a new post here… but that feeling is why you sprang to mind when I received the Lovely Blog Award and had the opportunity to pass it on! Thank you for making me smile. http://simpletangles.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/moved-to-tears-ive-been-awarded/
That is an incredibly nice thing to say, Benedicte (I really really love your name), thank you so much–and thank you for making ME smile with this!
Just found you through Le Clown and we are scarily the same – same age, same luddite, same about loving purple – my dining room is purple – same about loving cats, same, same, same. I feel like we are friends already.
Good to meet you!
Hi Fern! I love you already. Let’s be BFFs forever, shall we? Also, your name feels like it should be the name of a movie star from the 40s. It’s awesome.
Hello!! Pretty cool. I am a Level II Reiki Practitioner…how cray cray is dat chit? anyhoo, glad to have you pop in at Black Box and read my post! I think we’re gonna be friends…
I am so late in replying, Speedo, so sorry. Fucking hurricane.
That’s awesome that you’re a Reiki Practitioner–it’s wild shit, isn’t it? It still amazes me. Your Black Box post was fantastic, and I am sure we’re going to be friends!
So glad to hear from you!!! jeezusmaryandjosephcrimeney!! Hang in there girl! Sending some ‘strong drink’ type o vibes!!
don’t think you can escape me so easily–so happy to see you are back and I am other bothering you to offer you my iron–I never use it (well that is not true–I used it once this year). Glad you are back (hugs)
You’re the bees’ knees, LouAnn.
I’m glad to be back too! (hugs)
missed you
(hugs)
I love your list of throw-back items. I still do my drafts with a fountain pen!
Hello Adam! Welcome! I think it’s excellent that you draft with a fountain pen. And now the uber-geek in me wants to know what kind, and with what ink, etc.
Who the hell knows — they’re some cheap off brand deal. I like writing with them though, I feel like Charles Dickens or something —
I think we have a lot in common
Looking forward to learning more, Mike!
Loving the weebles!!!
I’m so glad!
Weebles, I’ve nominated you for the Liebster award. You can check it out on my blog.
http://storkhunting.com/2012/11/20/oooh-look-shiny/
I’m so sorry Storkhunter, for missing this comment–thank you so much for this!
On this American Thanksgiving day (I am not American, but using it anyway), I am saying thanks to Jen for linking me up with some great bloggers! Loolking forward to sharing the weebles…!
Talking about old school things…I love my LP player and I think the jumping up to change the record every 6 songs is helping to work off the chocolate that I shouldn’t have had?
Hi Gertie, I’m so glad you found me! You still have an LP player?? Now THAT’S old school! Maybe I should get myself an old one too so I can work off the chocolate as well….
Oh yes, I do have an LP player, and it is not even an old one! I bought it about 2 years ago, and I love it. Playing all these old records on it, and trawling the flea markets for old records. Pretty cool, me thinks! I vote for the LP player to make a comeback
. Have a great weekend.
Hey Weebs, Just a short note of thanks because your idea sparked the current post. http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/on-one-instrument/ … Thank you!
Thanks Frank! Sorry for the late reply here. Loved the handbell lesson!
Hei Madame Weebles, I just nominated you for the Ver Inspiring Blogger Award. I just love your posts. Merry Christmas, Xx Scarlett
So many awards, so little time!! I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. You truly do make me want to continue on my writing quest.
I, too, am a crusty forty something and prefer animals to people. I look forward to reading your blogs.
I keep falling behind in answering comments, I’m so sorry, MG—thank you so much, and high-five for preferring animals to people. I will spend some time on your blog, my new crusty forty-something friend.
Curmudgeons Unite!
Amen! Join us, won’t you?
You have been nominated for The Versatile Blog Award! Congrats!

Hello there, poet! Welcome aboard! It’s always a pleasure to have someone else to dish with. And desserts galore!
This is good to know, I will bring
a spoon with me just in case
Bonjour Madame
You sound like an interesting broad. Followed you here from Valerie’s place, you followed me in the comments section, and you seemed to know alot about Abraham and be very sympathetic to his spouse. Looks like this could be an interesting place to hang out.
Corinne
Bonjour Corinne! Thank you so much for visiting! You sound like an interesting broad yourself, I took a peek at your blog and liked what I saw. Poor Abe had a tough gig as president, and his wife was a mess but still, no reason for her son to put her away. Not nice. Please come back and visit anytime you want!
I have just opened the gates for you Madame
Excellent! I will join you! Thanks!
Brilliant, and I hope that you
will find something to your liking
I am just calling in for a bit of that sessert you promised, hey and if you call over to my place bring some armour, a sword and a wicked shield just in case

Long time, no hear. Hope all is well in your neck of the sphere.)

I was awarded on a cold and rainy day with this fabulous Sunshine Award. I hope it brings you some warm fuzzies too.

My linking skills are less than able so I am sorry if you have to cut and paste.
HI there! Found your blog through Le Clown.
FYI- I have so much admiration for our 16th president, I named my son after him. It’s not Abraham. Because that would be naming him after someone from the bible.
Enjoying your blog!
HI Claudia Bette (how do you prefer to be called?)!! I’m behind in replying to comments, so sorry. Say hi to your son Lincoln for me! I love how you said you didn’t name him Abraham because it would be like naming him after someone from the Bible. You’re my kind of gal.
Hi! Claudia is fine
If I named him Abraham, people would think of Abraham from the bible which isn’t a bad thing for me, but that is not what I was trying to get across. I wanted him to be Lincoln because then people would think of Lincoln our 16th president.
And he gets a kick out of how people react to his name. And of course, how many times he hears it randomly. Like when Lincoln (the Speilberg movie) came out…he watched the Academy Awards just to see Lincoln win. Ha!
Hi.
. I live in Wales. 
.
My name is Kevin Gillespie, I do, MUCH prefer however, to be called Kev.
I am now ‘Following’ your Blog.
Well hello there, Kev! Thank you so much for your visit and for following!
Dead hot guys, fountain pens, real books, history and junk food. Hhat the fuck is not to like around this place? Glad to meet you, and your world.
Hiya Rachael! I’ve been perusing your blog, there is much to like there too. I think this is the beginning of a lovely friendship.
Hi Madame.
MANY Thanks for that, MUCH Appreciated.
.
Apologies for my delay in replying though.
.
Best Wishes
Kev.
