2010 Funniest Bloggers Award!

*puts on rare serious face*

Okay, let me start by saying….

THIS WAS WAY FREAKING HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!!!

Geez people!

40 some nominations?!?!?!

*note to self: Revise format for next year. No repeat winners. Limit nominations. Get xanax prescription*

I actually checked out each blog.

ALL 40+!!!

You know how hard it was not to skim?!?!

But I made myself read at least 3 or 4 randomly selected posts from each blogger.

I didn’t even bother leaving comments. Between visiting the blogs at home, and checking them in Google reader during free time at work, I was wiped out. It took the better part of a week.

Not only that, but they were ALL really good. I expected at least a few duds, or friend of a friend type nominations. NADA!

I finally had to develop a rating system. I scored each one (based on various things: whether I laughed out loud, ease of reading & page loading, visual appeal, content, etc).

Then, I divided them up by ratings, and rechecked them one last time, just to make sure no one slipped through the cracks.

Yes, I probably made this way harder than it needed to be. (TWSS)

I can’t tell you how difficult it was to keep to the self-imposed 10 winner limit, too.

So, without further ado……..I give you…….

*drumroll*

Well hot damn. Nobody I nominated won shit.

That's fine. This mishap is now stored in the memory bank.

I don't hold grudges either.

Coffeypot said...

Dude! Three or four from forty blogs? That's a hundred twenty to a hundred sixty EXTRA reads. Seriously, you need to get a life.

ScoMan said...

Awesome. I won.

I'm going to write a super short blog post as a special thank you.

One day.

Maybe.

But once I get started, I just keep going.

Kind of like with this comment.

I could have left it at "one day" and then never did it, but I just keep rambling.

The point is, thank you for recognizing my awesomneess.

Thanks for doing this, Ed. You're a mensch! And thanks to whoever nominated me. And sorry I let you down. I'll try to be funnier.

I didn't even know this was happening.

Otherwise, I would have nominated a bunch of frigging people. Next year, though. Next year!

Thanks, Ed. Thanks to all of you nice people who nominated me!

I'm going to go draw something nice now. Not a penis or a uterus. But something nice.

Also, Ed? Seriously, best award design ever. I will proudly display the Golden Peen.

Hopefully those people are actually funny and didnt just win through offering you sexual favors....Just sayin. LOL

Alyson said...

Why the hell didn't I nominate myself like some of those other people with enormous egos?? Sigh. Back to the drawing board.

Good choices, Ed. I'll be checking out the few I don't know.

Steam Me Up, Kid said...

Thanks, Ed! I agree, the golden peen is truly glorious.

And where the frak is kurt on this list? That's a travesty.

Ducky said...

Remind me again who nominated YOU as the king of funny? Oh, yourself?! That explains a lot.

SurferWife said...

Just realized Scoman was on the list. I didn't recognize his blog url.

Well good. At least you did something right, Ed.

I haven't won anything since "Everyone Gets a Trophy Day" in fifth grade, so this is quite exciting.

The Queen said...

Those that didn't win.. party at my house... those that won.. fuck yourself...

No, I'm not a sore loser.. but damn.. I shaved my legs.. had my hair done.. bought a dress for the red carpet.. and then I didn't win..

I'm not angry.. noooooo. not me..

Brittany said...

Jenny DB said...

The Office Scribe said...

I don't believe in nominating people.

I like them to win awards the way scouts do - by setting shit on fire and learning to tie knots.

The Queen said...

My dearest Ed..

Since your tight ass only gave out 10 awards.. and I didn't get one... well.. I felt bad...You thinking I'm not funny enough and all... You.. the king of funny.. doesn't think I'm the funniest thing EVAH!

So... I left a little award for you at the castle....

Love the Queen..

Congratulations to the winners! You know what they say - it was an honor to be nominated! Wait - I nominated myself! Never mind then.

Moooooog35 said...

Thank you, my friend.

I told myself I wasn't going to cry.

And I didn't.

It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.

I forgot where I was going with this.
