My first cliffhanger…

I am looking forward to it!

Ummm let me think: JWG? Maura? Silver? I get up at 5:20am Texas time – will it be there? Oh the anticipation. You’ve spoiled us this week Val.

Val,

That’s such a great idea!!! I think I know who this person is, well, not really but I have two people in my mind… one starts with S and the other starts with M… I have psychic powers and my name is not Ginette *wink wink*… just kidding!! Whomever this person is I can’t wait to read the article!!!
Thank you so much Val!!! You are “The Best”!!!

You have been on a roll as always Val….I’m sure your cliff-hanger will be worth the wait!

Bring it on Val. YESSSSSSS!!!!

You’re still #1 though

Our Dearest Val…..I Hope this means you are going on a nice Vacation, which you Heartily Deserve to Enjoy!!!!

I know you will leave us in safe and competent hands…rofl….and if it is someone You hold in High Regard…my goodness…leaves me speechless and Can’t Wait to greet our Special Someone….Will have the best Dark Roast Brewed Beans and No-Cal Cyber Sweet Rolls to Welcome our ?Mystery?Guest?Writer?. It’s like Christmas Eve….
Got to get to sleep so I can be up Early

Yes, I believe the article is scheduled for 5 a.m. central time.

Good news is I get to drink coffee and read too. HAHAHA

*evil laugh as she runs away*

I agree with Lily – my money is on JWG, Maura or Silver. But I’ve been wrong before, LOL. Thanks Val for running such a great blog!! Enjoy your break!!

Ooooooooo! Great idea!! Keep things fresh and lively! I can’t wait!
(Hmmm….wondering if Maura or Silver is the honored guest author…or someone new and fabulous? Only the shadow knows (And Val!)
Savoring the suspense!

KZ,

One correction…not a GUEST author, a permanent author!

Get outta town!

OK, I’m hoping it’s Pat Brown or Wendy Murphy.

Would be great to have a profiler!

Do I win the Hinky Psychic Award if I’m right?

If it’s a science guy I’ll be miffed. :: sniff ::

lol please don’t let it be Lillian Glass (sorry Lil!)

Methinks Val is enjoying this just a wee too much. 8)

I know. It’s Richard Hornsby. He’s an entertaining writer and an independent thinker (even though I don’t agree with him 65% of the time I do think he’s relatively fair-minded and honest. Plus he and Val have a rapport.

Rubbing my hands together in anticipation of my prize. Wait. There isn’t a contest. Oh well.

Val, thanks for all the great articles this week. You’re the best part of waking up. I am looking forward to tomorrow and LOL at the outfit she chose for her 1980 date.

Lily & Tally, I think you’re right about it being JWG. Definitely. (doing my best rainman here). Definitely him. Or her.

ooooooooooo ~ this is exciting!

LMAO! I’m like seriously certain I had a blouse like that. They were like all mutton-leg sleeve styles, bows and….

yeah

*sigh*

Damn! I hate when movies end like this!!!

Oh, I’m not watching a movie???

Honey? What’s another word for guest writter?

Shrieking like a crazy woman

It’s your husband! (Did I guess it?) Did I, huh?

There are so many truly fabulous people on the board that I couldn’t possibly choose between any one of you folk.

sob but bring it on. 8O

Val, LMAO at the bow. I just turned 40 and my sister is 34 and still having babies. We were talking just the other night about maternity clothes and how they have changed over the years. Back in the day one wore a big tent dress and slapped on a big bow to draw attention away? My sister wears tight yoga clothes and looks amazing and fit. Only if you look at her from the side you can tell she’s eight months pregnant. Maybe she needs some side bows. LOL. Sorry to go off topic, but bows are always funny. The bigger the bow, the bigger the thing they are trying to distract from. Never trust a bow.

Holy snappers. A cliffhanger and and another new article. Great news except in one respect. I’m not getting a damn thing done. But thank you thank you thank you.

Going to bed now.

Val….Never call yourself weak…..you are the best and have brought us many many
great posts here.
I have you in my browser……that’s how much I love your articles.

I will be waiting for the new author with much anticipation.

Oh I feel it’s like Christmas …….hope I can sleep tonight……lol

Val,
When you said not a Guest…permanent…you meant you and Someone Special will be Sharing the Fun right???? Right???? You aren’t running away from home are you????
Was it something we said…rofl
Loved the Commercial…..and love Anyone with a Sense of Humor….it makes the world go ’round…

Nah, I’m not going anywhere. I just got a new roommate…or something like that.

“Whew” ….a new roommate…..even That sounds Exciting…or something like that
Good Night All….Morning comes Early…(5 a.m.)
Can’t wait to see who does the First Comment Too!!!!

Ok,I think I will call DC’s physic friend, and find out who this mystery person is. Bet she will lead me on the right path, or is that pavers?

LOL, Nora!

Just don’t think you can show up poking your rod indiscriminately and get away with it! I have a camera!

I agree that it could be anyone named in the above posts, as well as many other brilliant posters on this blog. Someone who hasn’t posted in a while is William Hill. I remember reading that he was working on his own investigative project. Could it be??? Can’t wait for my morning dose of Hinky. Thanks for keeping it interesting.

One thing I would ask is that you keep in mind that we all (whether commenters or authors or … what else is there? … meter readers!) are individuals with our own points of view. I have always enjoyed that the people who come here and contribute at least appear to feel they are free to share their viewpoints which leads to a wide-ranging breadth of thoughts on any given topic.

Please remember that this new author doesn’t necessarily agree with everything I say. I don’t want that person to feel concerned if tomorrow I lose my marbles and decide to announce Casey is the green-skinned mother of all Chupacabras or something. In other words, we will have varying viewpoints and it would not be fair to assign my views to the other person.

Just saying…because I appreciate their willingness to contribute and I wouldn’t want to get some kind of wonky Valhallian stigmatism on them.

lol

S Davidson,

I have missed our sweet William! I hope he is off doing something very enjoyable and that something is not wrong.

“Just don’t think you can show up poking your rod indiscriminately and get away with it! I have a camera”

Poking??!! OMG…..in light of your DC posts this week, that is priceless! My stomach hurts I laughed so hard! DC doing the “hokey pokey” in the woods with Hoover!

1980….was a good year. 10th grade, bad fashion, but youth made those horrible puffed shoulder shirts look good on ya! Big, big “carport” hair! Had to show my 13 yo neighbor how to do “the ’80′s do” for a school party! Some things you never forget!

I noticed William Hill’s absence also. His input is missed.

That sounds like a great idea, Val. Anytime one spends day after day doing what you have been doing here, having someone help carry the load just makes good sense. (I know that when I just spend too many hours in a week focusing on this case it takes a toll on me – which inadvertantly takes a toll on my household.)

So good for you! Share the load – but you do know that we all hold you in pretty high esteem, and this next person has a pretty tough act to follow. AND we are counting on you to make sure the high quality that we have come to expect is not compromised!

But, having said that, I really have no doubts that you will be keeping a close eye on your ‘baby’.

Bombshell!! Valhal gets a blog nanny!

LOL!

Nope, it’s not to give me a break. I really enjoy this and I just don’t post when I’m tired or have other obligations in life. It’s more because I know my weak areas and I know that having another voice with a different way of approaching things and areas of strength I may be weaker in will make this whole experience more well-rounded.

I don’t have any concerns as far as this person. They pretty much are on their own! (I say pretty much because if they have a “casey is the green-skinned mother of all chupacabra moments” I have no problem commenting to say – ORLY??? 8O )

I know I will enjoy anything they have to share.

Oh, OK, it seems my “Bombshell” was about as sorry as some other blonde big mouth gives us!! LOL

Oh great, now I am singing “anticipation” and will probably dream of ketchup tonight!! Unleash the lawyers!! LOL

KZ,

I agree, about William. So William, if you’re lurking — we miss you, terribly. Hope all is well.

My first thought was Maura-pedia… but, who cannot have the same opinion of an encyclopedia? (although, if she does have a blog, I am camping there like I do here)

William Hill…not heard from really? Or has he just been frying the brain working on the first article to post? Inquiring minds….we want to know.

Richard Hornsby? “In the Trenches” is over two months old….I vote no on that one.

Blink has her own place and too much on her plate…

Looking forward to the article in the AM with my new rule,

NO COFFEE AT MY DESK WHILE AT HINKYMETER!!!

Hummm .. the intrique! The suspense! The mystery! I can’t take it! So who shall it be, guys? Silver. Maura. WSH. William. JOYPATH!

Hey Val!!!! Where’s JOYPATH? And have I guessed it now? Darn. You wouldn’t spill the beans even if I had, now would you? Dagnubbit!

Psst — it’s Joypath, or so says my somewhat cracked and cloudy crystal ball.

Willow said: { Mar 4, 2010 – 10:03:11 } LOL

try sprinkling that crystal ball with pixie dust……it works miracles on cracks and clouds!

Val,

Im guessing Maura

Joypath. Holy crap that would be great.

Re William – yeah William where are you? Are you working on technical stuff …? Cliffhanger???

Ok I know this is reaching but is it Casey Anthony finally confessing the TRUTH???

Can’t wait Val. 8O

OMG, if it’s a “bombshell” I think it’s Nancy Grace!!! Just kidding!!!

Can’t wait!!!

God bless you Val!!!

Val,
I was on D&A investigations website: http://www.dgator.com, under CMA Documents and there are 2 document releases that have been removed, they are: July 16th-Casey Anthony Transcript Recorded at Home Part 1 and Casey Anthony recorded Statement at Universal Part 2. Does anyone know if those have been released and where I can see those, for some reason they removed from their site and found it odd and I am now very curious as to what was in them. Val can you look at and find out if there is somewhere else I can see these and post a link? I would like your opinion as to why these may have been removed from his website, or if he posted and they have not been released…Thanks

Shyloh, you never know she spent over 2 hours with the jail minister on Nov. 11th, right before D. Casey went looking in the woods for a Dead Caylee…that thought had crossed my mind also, Jose Baez was visiting her regular during that time frame.

Val,

Come on isn’t the suspense of all the confusion in this case enough torture? Who is this mystery author?? I trust your opinion and I trust this person will give us the same high standard of seeing and making sense of so much crap in this case! Whatever your reasons have a safe trip? have a nice honeymoon? have a cruise? have a nice retreat?

Okay, now I get it. JWG is a new author around town. Good cliffhanger, vh.
