plezWorld from A to Z

As I often do, instead of spending the evening plopped down in front of the television, I find myself plopped down in front of my computer, checking out blogs and news articles from various newspapers. Well, I was wandering aimlessly through the blogosphere late last night and stumbled upon this meme at Bab's Bitchin:
