I Have a Surprise For You and It's Not a Toaster

I am sick and tired of receiving all of these awards. I am not that special. I am not that awesome. Please stop reading my blog, it's a waste of your time. You should..... "Hey pirate, what are you doing on my computer? How did you get in here again? Stop writing whatever you are typing!!"
"Haha, you will never catch me!!" (Pirate jumps through the window). "Dammit, I didn't get pirate coverage yet, that window is gonna have to come out of my giraffe fund, I will never be able to afford one now."

Sorry about that folks. I don't know how the pirate got in again. He somehow managed to get past the moat full of mutant tiger sharks (half tiger, half shark) and the clones of Mr. T. I have received a few awards over the past month that I finally need to recognize because if I don't who will? You? Probably not.








The first one is The EOD (end of days) award from Chuck over at Apocalypse Now. He made this award himself. I forget why I got the award. Probably because I bribed him with some pie and double stuf oreos. The other award is from The Invisible Seductress over at the blog of the same name (psst, it's called The Invisible Seductress). I got that fancy award for being a loyal slave...err blog follower and commenter. Thank you to both Chuck and Seductress for the lovely prizes. If you don't follow their blogs then you should hit yourself over the head with a big rock.

Now before I get on with the meat and potatoes (or broccoli and potatoes for our vegetarian bloggers) of this post I want to recognize muah for surpassing 400 posts!! You can't see me (or maybe you can, I don't know who is stalking me now) but I am doing a little jig in my computer chair. It kind of looks like I'm skiing without moving my legs, just my arms. I am sure it will be on youtube tomorrow.

Now that I received some awards, I want to give one out myself. For the first time I am giving out my own award. I didn't receive this particular award from anybody. I didn't actually make the award, I found it on google.




During the months of June and July I decided to keep track of who commented on my blog. I tallied them for about a month. To answer your question, yes I am a big dork with nothing better to do with my time. I received comments from over 60 different bloggers. Originally I was going to award the top 10 commenters but in honor of the ongoing dirty dozen posts, I am awarding the top 12. There aren't any rules attached to this award, just display it on your blog with some class. You can do a post about it if you feel like it, no obligation. So here are the winners in order of comments.
