DAMMIT!
I didn't realize I was a finalist for Best Humor Blog at Wizbang's 2004 Weblog Awards until after I'd voted for that fucker Goldstein!
Oh, well. Just so I break into a single digit in percentiles, so the children don't cry. Go help me put Jeff over the top. He's the funniest, most creative writer in Blogdom, and that way I can get that asskicking I so desperately need.
UPDATE: Sorry, Jeff, you're going to have to fend for yourself: I just checked the rankings, and coming in third to last is a good asskicking, which I aspire to. Coming in dead last is a vicious chain beating in a shingletab parking lot by the Spokane chapter of the Bandidos.
Disregard my prior advice. Vote for me!
Voted and linked.
Color yourself beholden, and remember the little people.
Posted by: Key at December 2, 2004 8:10 PMYeah, you may need the asskicking, many times over I suppose. I read Jeff, went and reread tonight. You still got my vote. Sorry to pander, but you deserve better than a single digit, oh wait, we're talking percentiles.

Posted by: Eric at December 2, 2004 9:09 PMEvery now and again it's beneficial to get a good ole ass whuppin'. They say it builds character. I actually voted for you... before I voted against you. But remember - it was for your own good and although it smarts right now, you'll thank me someday.
Posted by: Fightin Tiger at December 2, 2004 9:13 PMWhore, Eric? Have I ever charged you to play Boswell to my Dr. Johnson?
Posted by: Velociman at December 2, 2004 9:15 PMI voted for you just to even things out. I will not be beholden.
Posted by: Jeff G at December 2, 2004 9:46 PMDamn it, Jeff. You take all the fun out of it. Now I shall have to vote for you tomorrow. And without the Concorde, how can I zip to Old Blighty and get the second vote in a day in for you? Or must I go to Papeete? Time zones are not a Velociforte.
Posted by: Velociman at December 2, 2004 9:54 PMThis whole exercise depresses me. I feel like posting nothing but soup recipes for the next couple days just to spite this stupid contest.
Uh oh. I'm about to go Holden Caulfield. Hide the little kids.
Posted by: Jeff G at December 2, 2004 11:06 PMi voted for you twelve times. do i get a donut?
Posted by: mr. knowitall/mr. scienceman at December 2, 2004 11:28 PMGot my vote, V-man.
Of course, there will be a price to pay.
Posted by: david at December 3, 2004 12:33 AMI didn't even get nominated. I was sure I was gonna at least get on the list for Best Latin, Caribbean or South American Blog, but, alas, I was forestalled on my claim to fame. I feel cheap - like a discarded popcycle stick. Waaaaaaaah!
Posted by: Tig at December 3, 2004 1:21 AMYou do know you can vote once a day right?
So know that you do know. Vote for me every day. 500-1000 top blogs.
I'm happy to report that, as of a minute ago, you'd passed into the land of full percentage points. It took several consecutive votes on my part (Sorry, Kevin!), but it was worth the effort.
Posted by: Patton at December 3, 2004 2:54 PM*sigh* My insignificant prattle didn't make the cut, but at least I was nominated... And no, I didn't nominate myself.
Yes, Master, I'll go over and vote for you again. Just promise me not to use the cane this time. I prefer the flat leather paddle. It makes such a nice sound on my bottom.
