Don't feel too badly -- I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt out of the deal last year. Besides, the antis are where it's at, baby!

Well ya see this is how it works... I was nominated for a Webby Award back in the 90's for the now taboo "Best Sex Site" and lost so I have a whole lotta bitter and passed it of to my fellow co-horts as being half assed lackluster layabouts. Now I'm the only one to blame if I lose so the pressure is on and they must be cool cause they nominated me and all. But then again if I don't win, which I won't cause I've got like 12 fanatic users and the competition has MILLIONS, I can blame the people.

My big problem with the Bloggies was that *he who must not be named* swept the whole damned thing. Ain't gonna happen this year! :-)

The *blogs and pets* webring RULES!!!

thanks for the promo! :-)

Dude, I never said the Bloggies suck. But there are OTHER reasons you should suck up to me that are bigger than money ... which one of us is a blogwhore judge? Uh huhhhhh... yeah baby! If you can't win a Bloggie, you could BE a Blogwhore! You could be THE Blogwhore!

Posted by: Christine at January 22, 2003 12:58 AM

In my own mind, I am the blogwhore. I don't need your validation. :P

Posted by: Solonor at January 22, 2003 01:02 AM

Everyone vote for Geisha asobi for best Asian blog. She posts the trippiest links I've seen.

Posted by: Scott at January 22, 2003 08:18 AM

Yes, Dan, after checking out your site, I have come to the conclusion that you are, indeed, best kept secret. :P

Posted by: Solonor at January 22, 2003 09:02 AM

He's not African?
*taking back my vote*
I voted for lots of people here.
Thanks for the trackback Solonor!

Posted by: Tracy at January 22, 2003 11:17 AM

Oh man... no Wil Wheaton???
Who do I vote for, Solonor???

Good to see a lot familiar faces nominated.
Congratz, guys!!!!

I haven't even been paying attention seeing as I know I have no chance in hell of being nominated. Of course the advantage is I can still walk down the street without being mobbed by blog groupies.

Riiiiight... ;-)

Posted by: Les at January 22, 2003 02:35 PM

If I make lots of posts for you during BlogWhore can I snag your vote? ;)

If you don't see a way to enter a comment, it's not because I don't love you. It's because they have been set to auto-close after 5 days.

Thank you, comment spammers. Thank you to hell.
