Wasabi Restaurant Waiter Gets TBY Award. Bradford Plaza.

I will now open the envelope declaring the winner of the TBY Chester County Unique Waiter Gesture Award (even though the answer is in the title). And the winner is....

The tall waiter from Wasabi Chinese and Japanese Restaurant in Bradford Square Shopping Center (Next to Giant)!!

*Balloons fall from ceiling*

And the reason? Most waiters simply put your food in front of you and say, "Here you go." or "Enjoy."

Not this this guy.

He places the meal in front of you and does this hand motion. The hand is in a fist and then he opens his fingers toward the food - exposing his open hand. Then a very slight raising of the palm. Kind of like what a magician does when he shows you the rabbit that he just pulled out of his hat. Right before he says, "Ta-DAAAA!"

Do you know what I mean? It's like, "I now give you....this food. Behold it's glory."

Not sure if he made this move up or if it's what most Japanese waiters do. Either way, he wins the award. Which means.... all you other waiter's lose. THIS year. Now get to work on your gestures.

Cake Song. I Will Survive. Friday. Should Have Changed That Lock.

So I'm too tired to actually list three bloggers to send the Friday Send Off song to so I'd like to announce that you're ALL winners. Yeah you. You showed up, so you win. Like certain Olympics. So go stand on a small platform and tie a round disc to a string and pretend it's an actual medal. Don't be shy - hold it up with unbridled pride!

Are you ready? O.K. Now hit play and listen to Cake singing "I Will Survive". Live.

Hey Everyone - Grant Miller's Drysdale Award Is Over There

Go vote for the blogger of the year at Grant Miller Media. There will be a real live award ceremony. Click here to vote. By the way, it's called the Drysdale Award. Probably named after the banker on the Beverly Hillbillies. I don't know.

If you vote for me, come back and tell me you did. If you didn't, come back and just tell me you did anyway.

Superstar Blogger Surprises All And Receives Award

First of all, I win so many awards and I'm asked to do so many memes that I just can't follow through with all of them. It's kind of like when the president gets millions of letters and they just stamp his signature on some and incinerate others. There's just not enough time in the day.

But I'll accept this one. It's from Chris at Insane Thoughts and Insane Ramblings. He's been a longtime reader. Check out his Tennessee based blog. Good stuff including some good BBQ tips.

So the original instructions are here, and if you win, make sure to add your name and blog link on their blog. Because you know that when it comes to links, that's what it's all about. And of course the Hokey Pokey

So in an effort to share the love and show you some newer blogs I've been reading, or blogs I haven't mentioned in a while - here you go:

The Tambourine Queen - Chele is without a doubt my favorite International Model that lives in Thailand and used to be in a Pop band. Check out her blog. She writes some really interesting stuff from her life.

Bad Mutha Fudruckers - From Wilmington, NC, this blogger also has an interesting blog about her real life. And tons of pics of her dogs.

Bug Eyed Blog - Love this blog. Great posts and lots of great movie reviews.

Secret Life of Tova Darling -Tova used to have a blog until her bitchy mother-in-law started reading it. Did she give up? Nope. She started this anonymous blog.

Untitled Blogger Project - Every time I read his blog I realize how crappy of a writer I am. Check out his blog - live from Hollywood.

The Life of Sass - Another interesting blogger that also has a really interesting writing style. And she's got 73 followers. As of this writing, I only have 72. Holy Cow!

So there you go. And for the winners that don't feel like passing on the award, I will shed no tears.

Breaking News: I've won an award for my talent. Again. See my class act acceptance speech at the Hall of Fame Awards ceremony in the comments of this blog.

Satarical Post About Ice From New Blogger Wins Ribbon

Here's a post I read that is cracking me up. The name of the blog is called Untitled Blogger Project. It seems he's a friend of Falwless's. Even though it's from a new blogger and his name is, Words, Words, Words (A bit fishy as it sounds almost identical to the game I invented that's sweeping the land (Words, Voice, Motions), I'm gonna give this guy the Dr. Zibbs "Wigglin' Uvula Ribbon". It's a new award I just invented that's a blue ribbon that says, "Wigglin' Uvula Ribbon" and there's a cartoon monkey on it laughing and laugh sweat is shooting out all around him. If you saw it, you'd be like, "What's that monkey laughing at?"

Anyway, here's the post. It's called: Cold as Ice (but has absolutely nothing to do with Foreigner).

Worlds Most Freakiest Dude 2008 Award

Since acquiring the Memphis based "Self Esteem Club", That Blue Yak owns the rights to the World's Most Freakiest Dude Award. We're proud to announce this year's winner. Björn Ulvaeus (or is we like to call him, "Born Use-Is-Ugly"). Bjorn is one of the singers from the pop group ABBA and..well. just look at him. Imagine the photographer at that photo shoot. Jesus Christ.

Although we expect Ron Howard's Brother Clint to put up a fight when it comes time to hand over the crown, we'd like to thank him for his sportsmanship, sense of humor and large domed, beluga whale-like forehead. (and on a side note Clint, when you asked for a sip of my Pepsi at the award ceremony last year and then I just told you to keep it? - I do that to everyone...really..it has absolutely nothing to do with what you look like.). To read the hysterical Clint Howard story click here. Now enjoy Bjorn - "the dude from ABBA"

West Chester PA Blogger Wins ANOTHER Blogging Award - Feather Duster Stocks Sky Rocket

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

McGlinch Blogger Accused of Exhuming Body Of Henry Creator Carl Anderson To Retrieve Pen

The grave of Carl Anderson, the creator of Henry has been tampered with and we want nothing to do with it. According to THAT BLUE YAK Human Resources manager Mike Hopton, the AussieJourno - THAT BLUE YAK Awards 2007 may have led to foul play.

"We have reason to believe that Billy D. Grear, an intern at THAT BLUE YAK may have tampered with ballots for this prestigious award. It seems Billy D. Grear is a comic fanatic, and appears to have bribed the McGlinch blogger with a win - in return for the "Henry" comic creator Carl Anderson's prized pen."

Ted Poliski, a fellow intern is the hero that narced him out,

"That Grear dude was a creep from the day he started. All he would talk about was comics. Not comic book characters like Superman and Batman, but the crappy ones like Henry, Nancy and Hi and Lois."

"It was very crazy last week with the awards happening and all, but I swear I heard him say something like, 'This is how it's gonna happen, you exhume the body of the Henry creator, snatch the pen that's gripped in his cold dead fingers and bring it to me in return for the blogger award' -..or something like that."

While the investigation unfolds, we would like to once again congratulate McGlinch on his award and thank him for the picture that he drew per our detailed, specific instructions:
