(Subliminal) Nominating Words
January 2nd, 2006
The 2006 Bloggies are back.
From now until January 10th you (ALL OF YOU) will have the chance to nominate your favorite blogs (THIS BLOG) for their very appropriate categories (MOST HUMOROUS WEBLOG) in the hopes that they (ME) will make the cut (OH GOD PLEASE) for the voting procedure (CAN YOU GIVE ME AN AMEN?).
Do you remember that part in Braveheart where Mel Gibson (as William Wallace) tells his troops that they can go home (i.e. NOT NOMINATE WFME) and not fight (GIVE UP) but that someday they will regret it on their death beds (YES, YOU)? Yeah, if I had been one of his soldiers (OR READERS) and the fight was soon (DEADLINE is JAN 10th) I would so fight (VOTE) and get my friends to fight (VOTE) so that the battle (OF HUMOR) could be won by us (WFME).
So you know, do what you (I) want.
Dear Pauly,
I voted for you because you voted for me. …And because you are so obvious a choice for the comedy category.
Wait, you did vote for me, right?
Most awesome website. I will win.

(spoken/shouted with a scottish accent. In my head, it’s Ewan McGregor holding a sword, and yes, I am a girl, but c’mon - he’s hot.)
Right! I swear on every thing that is holy and virtuous. I will fight fur Paul Davidson and this blog. I won’t go home to only remember what a coward I was. I will stay however long, fight til my hands I can’t raise, because if Paul Davidson doesn’t prevail, what are we living fur?
by the way, I’ve never seen Braveheart.

Thanks, guys.
Kathleen - For someone that never saw that movie, you sure have a way with the scottish brogue/blogging comment speak. Although, what is “living fur”?

“Living Fur” is the evil twin of “Ben Hur”.

Pauly, I love you. There is no one more deserving to be nominated. But since I am passive-aggressive, I nominated you for best Latin-American blog, knowing that you do love Cuban food.
Comment by Neil — January 3, 2006 @ 12:48 pm
Neil - I know you do. That’s why I nominated you for having the best tag line. You have a tag line, right?
I thought you did.
Comment by Pauly D — January 3, 2006 @ 1:00 pm
the swede has made me laugh.
Comment by Kathleen — January 3, 2006 @ 1:30 pm
Aha, so when we all find encouraging Pauly D comments at our blogs this week, we’ll know why.

I went to bloggies.com and started the voting process, but then I had an intense craving for chips. Chips, you know, once you eat one you can’t stop and those cheddar cheese and sour cream ones get your hands messy. Can’t use the computer with messy hands. I went to grab a napkin (did I mention my pockets are usually full of napkins??), but today I had empty pockets. Empty pockets! Did you hear that? Empty Pockets! I had even just made a New Years resolution to always keep napkins in my pockets too.
After finding an appropriate napkin for the situation at hand (get it?) I got ready to vote, but then a co-worker walking in with a bunch of balloon animals. Pink, and yellow and blue. Dogs, cats, and rats too. But wait, was that a monkey I see? I ran over and had to take a closer look. I offered to trade some chips for the balloon, but I was declined, because said co-worker was planning a plane-trip to visit there dying relative, who really loved balloon animals and wanted them all around at their funeral service, which was unavoidable due to having extremely high cholesterol from eating too many chips.
I wished them a happy holidays and moved towards the kitchen to get a drink of water (those chips make you thirsty). On the table in the kitchen there was bowl of fake fruit, which looked very appealing, which had to mean one thing: I was still hungry after eating all those chips. Headed out to lunch when I hit the closest taco stand where the one-eyed girl works with the pirate like eye-patch. After eating my tacos, I was full. Full!!!!! I went back to work, but I was too full to feel productive. I ended up taking a nap, and when I woke up it was time to go home. What was I doing anyway before all this started? I don’t remember…
