Okay, I didn't post a DUFU edition today because I was NERVOUSLY awaiting the announcement of finalists in the humor category of the 2006 Weblog Awards. I just found out a few minutes ago that the DUmmie FUnnies did not make the final cut. I am completely bummed out at this point because I thought I had an EXCELLENT chance of winning the award (with Freeper support) IF I had been a finalist.
Maybe I should have said I WAS completely bummed out. Right now I am slowly recuperating with a germ of an idea developing in my head about making lemonade from lemons.
Next November there is a first ever BlogWorld CONVENTION in Las Vegas. A lot of stuff sounds to be a bit on the corporate technical side which is fine but I think many folks out there might have the wrong idea about Blogging as some sort of super hi-tech activity. In fact, Blogging is a very INFORMAL activity. Normally I, and many other bloggers, blog clad only in a T-shirt and underpants.
So that is what I want to do. I would like to put myself on exhibit behind a glass booth at that convention like a zoo animal clad only in my T-shirt and underpants while fortified with constantly flowing coffee. I definitely intend to make the Blogger "zoo animal" very entertaining.
So I didn't get into the finals of the Weblog Awards but I now definitely want to go to that BlogWorld convention as a Blogger Zoo Exhibit. Do any of my many PINGEES out there have a conndection with BlogWorld? If so, please pass this idea along to them. Thanx.
Okay, I'm STILL bummed out but feeling slightly better now.... Only slightly.
I hope it works out :)
Now I need to wash that image out of my mind. Sorry.....
PJ is still No.1 with us. You still have the biggest "pingee" list too.
I demand a recount!
I'm sure I would have won because I had a campaign plan mapped out on how to get votes.
Withold the ping until we cast a vote for you?:)
No. I know the Freepers would have supported me but I actually had a detailed plan on how to get votes from the Blogosphere in general.
The 2007 Weblog Awards ceremonies will be taking place at the BlogWorld convention in Las Vegas. Maybe I can be one of the presenters. Sort of like Bob Hope who always presented the Oscars but didn't win any.
You're #1 in my book, PJ.
Hmmm I wouldn't be so bummed out were I you. Seems like a club I wouldn't be so excited to be a member of.
Why not?
I don't know much about the organization but if they don't 'get' your humor then why care?
You needed a GOTV effort.
Awwww PJ, bummer!!
You deserved it for sure.
At least I deserved an OPPORTUNITY to win. This is like when I was nine years old and was training incredibly hard for a swim competition. Comes the day of the competition and for some stupid reason the judges didn't have my name on the list of competitors (a clerical error on their part). Not being able to compete completely crushed me. My Dad didn't make things any better when he tried to make me think it wasn't such a big deal. It WAS a big deal. Maybe I wouldn't have won the swimming competition but not even being allowed to compete was really tough on me.
Understandable. And you are right. I wonder if there was a reason you were considered, perhaps a PC one?
Would you have Li'l Beaver with you?
OK. Maybe not.
