A quick thanks to the kind folks at Wampum for mentioning puduland here to two more categories in their preliminary voting for the Koufax Awards. The voting hasn’t started yet, but this site will be up for (sanely or not) four awards:
- Best Writing
- Most Humorous Blog
- Best Series (for the polls), and
- Best Blog (overall, non-professional category).
Flattering as heck, and frankly not terribly accurate. I think there are more deserving sites in each category. There are people who only do funny, and they post a lot more, and they deserve the Most Humorous. And there are people doing real hardball investigative stuff every day, and they surely deserve the Best Series and Best Blog stuff. Best Writing? Even if I was freakin’ Shakespeare (who rarely used the word freakin’ incidentally, much less kiester, gigondous, or waterpudu) I’d assume that should go to someone who at least blogs more frequently than I do.
Still, it’s nice to be mentioned.
So go over to Wampum, thank them for the work they put into this, poke around the other named sites (there are over 100 good ones to choose from, between all the categories), and maybe even throw a dime or two in their tip jar for pulling together so much good stuff in one click-friendly place.
And when the voting starts, yeah, I’ll probably mention it, but really. There are more deserving blogs.
It’s not like the categories are:
- Best Pudus
- Oddest Set Of Interests
- Most Intermittent
- Best Things That Aren’t Pudus That The Blogger Insists On Calling Pudus Anyway
In which case, now we’d be talking.
