I’m funny! Ha! HAAAAA! Ha? Heh.

For reasons I can’t imagine, apparently I have been nominated for “Most Humorous Blog” honors by these kind people. Go figure. Upon hearing this I promptly curled up in a dark corner and muttered “Must be funny… mustn’t disappoint my audience…” And I thought up all kinds of laff-tastic entries that would prove just how funny I can be, proving only that I am desperately unfunny when the pressure’s on.

Anyway, I’m not winning, so I command thee to go forth and vote. I didn’t want to say anything, but those other blogs? They all have syphilis.*

(Normally I’m not one to toot my own bloggy horn, but last time I said nothing, and then--disgrace. Penury. Death. I won’t let it happen again, damn it.)

Also, today is National De-Lurking Day.

So sayeth Sheryl of the delightful Paper Napkin, and I do whatever other bloggers tell me to do. So say hello. Now. I think this is a bank holiday, too, so you can all go home from your jobs. They’ll tell you that if you leave you’ll be fired, but that’s all part of the holiday hijinks.

*Also, before you think, "Hey, syphilis! I wonder what that looks like!" and do a Google image search for syphilis, I warn you--DO NOT DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR SYPHILIS. I was hoping to link to some humorous cautionary poster, and instead saw--well, never you mind. It must never be spoken of. (Wow.)

Happy de-lurking day to you. I don't have the most-anything blog, but I'm jumping on Sheryl's bandwagon all the same.

OK, I'll de-lurk. Hello! Love your stuff. And I refrained from Googling any STD's. No tainted taints, thank you.

[Angela]

Please know that I've told those damned people five times now that I think you're the most humorous. Also know that I, too, am losing. But I'm (mostly) cool with that. Because blah, blah, blah, it's such an honor to be nominated and blah...

Hi!

And thanks for the Google warning. Many, many times I regret what google brings me (which is apparently just what I ask for)

[Kim]

*waves* Well, here I am. Not lurking. Unfortunately, I haven't got anything pithy or wise to say. Dang. *awkward silence*

I've been reading your site for at least 6 months now; I think that your award nomination is definitely well-deserved. Cheers. :)

[Amy]

Constant lurker here! I keep voting for you!!! REally! I hope you win, you deserve it!

Well now I'll have to google syphillis just to see what horrified you so :) De-lurking in honor of the day. You have a great blog. I've always enjoyed hiding out and spying on your life. (Just seemed like a lurky thing to say...lol)

[neko]

just another lurker, saying hi and that i voted for you too.

[jamie]

what's that? you want me to go and eat all the children's smarties? done and done. :D

[Laura]

Happy De lurking Day! And many more!

Like all the fine people above, I also enjoy lurking. I am seeking professional help for this problem, do not worry.

but your blog is great and has gotten me through many a fine bland work day like this very one. Bank holiday, you say? Cheers!

does it count as delurking if i have commented in the past??

[cagey]

Smirking and lurking here.... Congrats on the shout-outs!

[bluepoppy]

*delurking* Do I have to stand up and say my name? Is this like AA? Not that I would know, of course.

[Mir]

I really think I'm much closer to being a stalker here than a lurker, but let's pretend just for today, shall we? By the way, could you send me a picture of your hair so I can get mine done just like it? No? Damn.

Happy D'lurking day!

:)

I am far too shy to comment on your site, but have gathered my courage to say hello.

[k.]

delurking to say that i'm almost tempted by your warning, but the last thing i need on my computer at work is syphilis cookies.

mmm, syphilis cookies. actually, i wouldn't eat those if i were you.

[Crow]

Delurking and saying hi. Hi. Must...resist...googling...STDs.

[Soper]

I'll show you my lurk if you show me yours...

And what is up with the crappy BOB prizes, anyway? I say let 'em win, who gives a FinSlippy...

[chris]

*waving*

Happy Delurking Day!

[Carrie]

Delurking.

I've d'lurked before, but generally I lurk. I like lurking. Mostly because it's a fun word to say. Go ahead. Say it out-loud a few times (I especially encourage this if you're in a quiet public space--say, a library? A museum perhaps?). It's almost more fun than smock. I know you're all rolling your eyes, wondering who this lunatic is, but try it. Really. "smock. smock. smock." It's vaguely entertaining (for about 3.2 seconds, anyways).

I will now cease this stultiloquence and relurk. Likely to everyone's great relief.

And remeber: Finslippy...vote early, vote often!
