A First



I received this stunning piece of hardware from Chris. If your attention span is longer than mine and you are smarter than I am (chances are that if you can feed yourself, you qualify for both), you'll enjoy the hell out of Maugeritaville. Which is not to say that I don't like it, just that - ah, Jesus, I don't know what the hell I am saying. I'm just in a piss-poor mood and trying to be gracious about someone doing me a favor. It's hard, man. Go read his God damned blog. It is outstanding.

But let me be indignant for a minute: This award was hurled like grapeshot at dozens of blogs, and it don't stop there. I think I am supposed to fire off a few rounds, too. Undoubtedly, all of the recipients are fine bloggers, and I am not ungrateful. My problem, however, is that it is called the BEST Blog Award, and as the rueful Scotsman said, "there can be only one." I am sure I am not it. (Whose idea was it to make Sean Connery a gay Spaniard in that movie, anyway?)

Thank you, Chris. And the answer to your peevish query about Yankee and Dodger Stadiums is something akin to "blow me." Unless those teams only have one player in the entire organization, the names should be plural. Because they exist does not make them right. It makes them abominations, as matter of fact, and I will beat Derek Jeter's fidgety ass if you disagree with me, or do anything short of continuing the award...um...awarding on a weekly basis.

By the time I finished reading your profile, I phoned all my friends and after quoting you I gave them an evil laugh (mua ha ha ha) and clicked the phone in their ringing ears :) That's for all the times they have given me grief about my love of alcoholic beverages ;)

Really enjoyed reading your blog; hope there's still plenty more to come! And being a newbie myself, I'll be your follower for life (now's the time to let out a great big awwwwwww).

Jesus Christ, you try to do a guy a favor and point some readers to his hilarious blog and this is the thanks you get.

I'm with you on the "Best" blog thing . . . hey, I didn't create the award, otherwise it'd be called something like "Blogs That Make Me Piss Myself".

I know, Chris. It isn't the sweetest thanks I ever offered, but I am not good for that sort of thing today.

Ladyruth - welcome, and thanks for coming by. I don't write terribly frequently these days, so be patient.

Andy said...

Oh, and ladyruth - awwwwwwwwww.

Congrats, Andy. You're one of the bestest bloggers in MY book.

Andy said...

Well now, thank you, Buck!

And Chris, here's another thank you just for my pathetic job yesterday: Thanks!
