The Leg's Still Kickin'

What I need is a blog gimmick. Such as with Boy Leg, obviously the gimmick could relate to kicking. Put up a story that's outrageous, such as McCain questioning Obama's patriotism. That gets five kicks. The big difference with stars is that the more stars you get the better it is, but the more kicks you get the worse it is.

Kicking, that's about all I can think of relating to legs. To "knee" someone is a little farfetched. You can't give someone five knees to the groin. One, it's very limiting, and even though five knees to the groin would hurt anyone, it's more gender specific as to who would receive the most damage.

The downside of a kicking gimmick is that what if it was a story that wasn't outrageous, something to criticize. To give them one kick is still a negative response. But what response could a leg give that would be positive? If you went with 'playing footsie' that's getting away from the overall theme.

It could be -- and would likely to have to be -- that the kicks are reserved only for outrageous things deserving a kick. But that puts me in one major rut, in that everything I judge would have to be negatively rated.
