We've done it again, we've won ANOTHER award. (click here to see one of the 2007 awards we've won). You almost wish they'd give it to some of the crappier blogs but then - what would be their incentive to work harder or quit? I knew you'd agree. The award was given to us my And Some Guys Blog. He's a recently new THAT BLUE YAK reader and we've shared "links". The award is the coveted Arte Y Pico Award. I'm sure you've heard of it. And trust me, it's very, very important. The Arte Y Pico blog is one that's written in another language so when you're viewing your Spanish language soap operas make sure to listen closely as they'll probably be name dropping this blog to boost their ratings. Anything for a buck.
So what I'm required to do now is name 5 blogs that I think deserve the Arte y Pico award. Here they are in no particular order:
1) Lots Better Than Your Blog - this is my new favorite blogger by a lady they call Fawless. Her post are SO funny, I'd swear that I'D written them. Not to make you others jealous but she recently asked me for my email address. There's a very good chance we'll be getting it on. Here's a really funny one about a guy she had sex with at work in the back of her car and she kept asking him if, "it's in yet" ..and the guy starts to cry. She also refers to the dude's weiner as a bird. Nice touch.
2) Hometown Hangover - This is a blog written by someone in my town of West Chester, PA. I stumbled upon her blog accidentally and we also have shared (say aloud): "Links". Although we've never met, we're into the same odd pop cultures stuff AND we frequent the same bars. The funny thing is, I know what she looks like but she doesn't know what I look like. I'm sure we'll meet eventually. There will probably be tears. Her name? JDizzle.
3) McGlinch Blog - Even though he has problems staying in the lines, he draws some crazy cartoons. I've known this dummy since 10th grade so part of the reason he's winning is to keep peace in the family. He has another blog called Feed the Ogre. You the people can actually contribute links to it. Check out all of the details.
4) List of the Day - This blog has consistently good lists of stuff. And the commoners can contribute as well.
5) Rider's Blog - At first I was laughing AT Rider because of his unfortunate but hysterical disability - a wooden block for a head. But after a few weeks of reading the words - I've found it very funny. Here's a great recent post of his - that....get this - is about blogging.
Now here's the info for the winners:
1) Pick 5 blogs that you think deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award which is here: Arte y Pico
Congrats on the award! It must be nice to be so popular...
ReplyDeleteOh it's nice alright.
ReplyDeletea. i've known you since 8th grade...remember we were on the track & field team with the Eric & Rick and Conrad? I think you fancied yourself a high-jumper.
ReplyDeleteb. i know you only awarded this to me because you know these 'chain' awards bother me.
c. i will probably enter your 'draw a blue yak' contest before I consider what to do with this award.
d. oh, and thank you Dr. Zibbs.
When do I get my sweet winged lady standing in a feather wave award statue? Cause I'm gonna be WAAAY pissed if this is just a ploy to get me to promote other people's blogs for free.
ReplyDeletedang-it.
Dick Small?? Ha haaaaaaa!!!!
ReplyDelete.... OK, on to the commenting
The Arte y Pico is for only the finest of the finest. I think I got one because of my scalp.
Congratulations from the home offices in Downtown Hollydale. You are now a blogging celebrity.
YHHHAAAAAAAA HHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Keep up the good work here Dr.
Do you know the Pepper??
I'm not a smart man, Jen-ny, but I know what love is. You've shown me that love today, and it warms me to my very taint. Rest assured this is going on my resume, Zibbs.
ReplyDeleteI recognize only one blog (Lots Better Then Your Blog) in this list of recipients. But now I know where to go next. And I need a next. Very badly.
ReplyDeleteSay, I'm very flattered to see myself in your blogroll sidebar. That is a lovely surprise. Thank you. I shall add you to mine anon.
Why?
Because I like you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to see you around.
ReplyDeleteSnubbed again! This is just like the Oscar/Nobel Peace Prize Debacle of '06!
ReplyDeleteMcglinch: We've known each other since 8th grade but it didn't count until 10th because you were still earning my respect. Do not know what you mean by "chain award" - it was forwarded by a very legitate Nigerian organization. As for Blue Yak pic submission - get to work as the submissions are already out of control.
ReplyDeleteJDizzle: I will leave the award at the Square Bar - you only get it for 2 days.
Speedcat: I don't know Pepper.
Enc: Thank ye'
I'm glad to see it hasn't gone to your head.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of thing that makes you live forever. On my blogroll.
ReplyDeleteThat I'm not on your list has absolutely nothing to do with you not winning the caption contest this month. And pay no attention to that voodoo doll.
ReplyDeleteHey, found you via Jessica's Journal. I work in Paoli and Lionville. I hope to move to the Phoenixville area by next spring.
ReplyDeleteYou chose wisely. Check's in the mail.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, thanks. I promise to always stay grounded. Or high. I meant high, not grounded. Toke it up, mothahfuckah!
I have no idea what that meant. Sorry.
Congratulations Dr. Zibbs!
