I Would Like to Thank the Academy...

 

I have been awarded the quadruple "E for Excellent Award"! I am greatly honored, and would like to thank Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, BAC from Yikes!, Liberality, and of course my esteemed colleague, Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein from the bottom of my pongoid heart.

I have now no longer just another ordinary blog about an orangutan world leader from the future, I am officially an "E for Excellent" Award winner! I am overwhelmed and overcome with the sheer magnitude of this gesture on the part of my fellow bloggers. (The rumor that I bribed all of the judges is very probably not true - Although I would not like to comment on that matter at this time.)

I am actually terrible about responding to awards. The last time I posted an award (that I got from the wonderful Becca of No Smoking in the Skullcave), I made cute little icons of each of the recipients of the award, and wrote a little paragraph for each blog, and made a graphic, and wrote about it, etc. which was all a lot of work, but nothing compared to the dread I was filled with in having to narrow down my choice to only the prerequisite number of blogs. There are so many terrific blogs out there! It was all so emotionally draining...

Ever since then I have been terrible about not responding to awards, which I am sure that you will agree is a really lame excuse. Well, I have decided not to shirk my important blogging responsibilities any longer, and I shall now meet oncoming awards head on! So here goes... (I must admit that the hardest part of this excercise is still deciding who to give the award to. All of the blogs are so good!)

As Skippy the Bush Kangaroo says, "The rules of the excellent blog award stipulate that once a blog receives it, that blog must then pay it forward to ten other worthy blogs, thus spreading the accolades around blogtopia."

Anyway, here are the awards, in no particular order. If your name is not on this list, I still have a couple of other awards lying around that I plan on distributing in the near future...

I got my first "E for Excellent Award" from Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, who has a far more prestigous and credible blog than mine. Why he picked me I will never guess! It is quite an honor to even be mentioned by Skippy. (I didn't know he read my blog!) I give this award to:

Germaine Gregarious Jess Wundrun Blue Gal Cap'n Dyke, Pirate Queen No Smoking in the Skull Cave Freida Bee Rabbits, Toyen, and so forth Yikes! [ 2 ] Angry Ballerina FranIAm

I also got the "E for Excellent Award" from BAC's great blog at Yikes! BAC is a Hilary Clinton supporter, and I surprised that she has forgiven me for backing Barack Obama! I give this award to:

Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator L'ennui mélodieux Atomic Romance Comrade Kevin's Chrestomathy Darkblack The Dean's Office PoliTits Liberality I, Splotchy Dguzman

I also got the "E for Excellent Award" from Liberality, who always finds the greatest links, videos and cartoons - and is probably even more left wing than I am! (If that's possible.) I give this award to:

The Inconvienent Truth Get-Your-Zs Lady, That's My Skull DistributorCap NY Dr. Monkerstein Morning Martini MWB's World Pidomon's Posts Kelly the Little Black Dog Skippy the Bush Kangaroo

And I got this last "E for Excellent Award" from my esteemed colleage, Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein, who has just gotten out of surgery. (Why not stop by and sign his stent?) I give this award to
