Howdy friends! A little birdie said I would announce who the winner of my energizing snack-attack giveaway is (since I promised that in the title…)

and the winner is…

Terri from Rags Against the Machine!

Congratulations, Terri! Your blog is one of my favorites to read- full of style, wisdom, and joy. I don’t direct my mom to too many other blogs, as I’m a bit afraid she’ll run out of time to read mine, but I sent her yours one time! E-mail me your address and I”ll send the goodies your way!

And now, since you’re probably wondering what on earth the title means (unless you’re a fellow Gleek), I’ll continue RAVING ON, RAVERS! (you can take man-go-round out of the rave scene, but you can’t take the rave…you know…)

I”ll keep it simple: Why I Love The Teevee Show Glee by Meri

1. Sue Sylvester: Has Jane Lynch ever even sorted laundry or checked the mail without it being funny? I’ll volunteer to research whether this is true or not by watching the raw footage…

2. Rachel Barry’s wardrobe: Yes, this prepster can never get enough of her sweaters and skirts. Proud to be not just a Gleek but a geek myself!

3. The music: Yes, its cheesy as all get out and auto-tuned beyond Britney, beyond Kylie even… but I like to belt it out along with them and dance in my PJs and mukluks. Personal fave so far- Jane Lynch/ Olivia Newton John doing “Let’s Get Physical” or anything Kristin Chenowith did on her guest starring role.

4. The man-candy. Okay, so perhaps I’m a bit old for this, but Finn and Puck are both pretty hot. and that guy from the rival glee club who Rachel dates for the duration of a study hall.  Oh, and if he put a bag over his broccoli hair, Matthew Morrison isn’t so bad.

5. The episode where Kurt was dressed like Peter Pan. I laughed for five minutes straight as I recalled the guy with the web persona who “is” Peter Pan searching for his “Tink…”

6. Britney: My awesome brother-in-law brought this to my attention, but she makes some pretty fantastically stupid facial expressions throughout her tenure. Plus, the whole bizarro relationship she has with Santana cracks me up every single time.

7. The last name “Fabray.”

8. The guidance counselor’s eyes. I’m pretty sure she was a Disney character in a past life, but man-go-round and I like to fathom what her eyes might possibly be able to do when he enjoys the show with me I make him watch Glee.

9. The guest stars: To name a few, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristin Chenoweth, Olivia Newton-John, Neil Patrick Harris, Eve, Idina Menzel (the chick who plays Maureen in the movie version of Rent is how I usually describe her), and Britney Lynn Spears… Still holding out for David Bowie.

10. The cheese: It’s no secret, I love a good cheese fest. Despite it’s best attempts to be irreverent to multiple groups in every episode (Jews, nerds, gays, jocks, Asians, blacks, cheerleaders, physically disabled, developmentally disabled…) there is without a doubt always a moment of cheesy solidarity as the cast prances around in awesomely choreographed oblivion to some pop gem.

Sold.

So do you watch Glee? Love it? Hate it? Have another show you’re into at the moment and hoarding on Netflix instant queue (or as my co-worker would say… “kway.”

Yours til the Gleek streaks…
