My Nickel Bag: Kelso's Nuts's 500th Post

And I cannot think of a better way of celebrating it than with 0 -- as in zero, zed, nil, la pinga, la verga, nada, ungots, goose-egg, blank, X, mierda, merde, blitz, schneider, erasure, borrada, void, limpiada, quebrada, white-wash, Nut-N-Honey, duck, the felt, stone-soup, shut-out, clean-sheet, empty, skunk, tap-city, black-out, sweet fuck-all -- NOT ONE COMMENT ON #498 or #499. Excellent. Just the way we like it.

So, a true celebration is in order -- una cerveza michelada, una cucharrita del angelito, and an award from FAIRLANE at Jonestown. And I quote:

So, here we go-

I decided to come up with my own “Meme/Award,” in honor of those who are not afraid to Be Honest, to Speak Out (With words, pictures or both), and who are even willing to Lose “Friends” if keeping them means Compromising what They Believe.

There are no Rules, other than what I made up about Fifteen Minutes Ago-

1) You do not have to hang said Award on your Sidebar

2) You do not have to pass this award to Five, Six, or even Ten other people. Keep it for yourself.

Sharing is not always the right thing to do.

3) You do not have to write some Self-Deprecating Post about how “Honored” you are, or how you don’t really “Deserve” such Acknowledgment.

4) If you want to ignore any of the previous three rules, that is fine as well.

Drum Roll Please-

The Semi-Annual “Drink Up Bitches” Award Goes to the Following Person/Persons-

(In no Specific Order)

1) The Jonestown Super Team-

-Barry Max
-D-Cup
-Suzi Riot
-Dashiell
-Johnny Wingnut
-M. Frederick Voorhees
-Reasic
-Spartacus
-distributorcap NY

All I can say is, Thanks For Being a Part of this Madness, and Drink Up Bitches!

2) Samurai Frog- Dude, you are a Frog after my own Heart.

Keep Railing, Keep Ranting.

No one is going to ever listen, but what else can we do?

3) Kelso’s Nuts- You may be the only person in our Little Circle who’s Pissed Off more People than I.

Quite an Admirable Trait Indeed.

4) Little Country Lost- Jen, quite possibly, wrote the best post during the Iraq War Blogswarm.

If you have not read it, you should.

Here it is, Uncensored.

5) Tengrain- Despite the occasional Crybaby, Ten refuses to Cave Into Peer Pressure.

And, he let me have the keys to the Bentley this past Weekend!!

6) Mary Ellen- Mary has dealt with a Ton of Bullshit because she’s a Hillary Supporter.

But despite the Withering Criticism, she Stood Her Ground, and said, “No, Fuck You!!”

(I know, I know, I’ll get around to your Meme, I promise).

7) Progressive Traditionalist- Not only has PT had his comments deleted, he’s actually been Banned from other Blogs because he has this Crazy Idea he should be able to have his own Opinions.

What a Maroon!

Scarlet- Yes, she’s my Empress, and I know I’m always giving her some kind of Award Thinga-Ma-Jig, but-

She’s my Empress.

And I wouldn’t select just anyone to hold that Honor, regardless of how Hot they are.

***********************************************************
Now, that's an award. Most of the recipients are already on my roll but them who aren't will be forthwith.

Now, why would FAIRLANE write a thing like that about me. I can only speculate.

1) I was on a for-profit blog and in criticism of a very well-known blogger, I mentioned that revolution mean the willingness and ability to kill a cop or a small child in cold blood and that it had nothing to do with technology or paradigms.

2) For writing that Obama was a right-wing cretin when he was acting like one

3) For writing that Obama had given a near-perfect political speech on race

4) For writing at length on that latter on a pro-Obama blog and when taken to task for writing at length and being called a "bitchass" and a "devil", responding in kind and calling the well-meaning blogger's policewoman a "gueca" ana a "kurvatz."

5) For writing at length in general

6) For writing what I thought and felt without fear or favor

7) For writing about vice unapologetically

I'm sure I could go on but 37's a nice prime nuber.

Back to work. Maybe an early bedtime.
