Did Somebody Say Prizes?

The Food Blog Awards are in full swing, which means it’s time for everybody to start sharpening their knives.  Let the vicious backstabbing begin.  Oh, yeah.

So, thanks to everyone who nominated my little Boston blog.  I was thrilled/ confused to find Food on the Food on the ballot for two categories: Best Food Blog – Humor and Best Food Blog – Family/Kids.  I’m a little worried that the judges didn’t do their homework on the Family/Kids one.  I do have kids, last I checked, but shouldn’t there be a lot less swearing going on in a family-friendly blog?  I mean, I’ll take it.  Just surprised is all.

As for the Humor category, that is freaking fantastic considering I’m just about the least funny person you’ve ever met in your life.  But that’s one of the great things about this here Internet.  You never have to know that. 

So, here we are.  Just you and me.  Each of us waiting for something funny to happen. 

Well, this is painful.  I got nothing.

And still nothing.

I’m going to go make myself a snack, okay?  Be back in a few.  In the meantime, do your civic duty, and be sure to check out the other nominees and categories while you’re at it.  You might find something you like.

I found your blog just a few days ago after doing a search for other Boston-area blogs. I've hardly stopped laughing. (I'm particularly fond of the posts in the "Reasons Not To Read My Blog" category.)

Congratulations on your two nominations! I just can't help but feel that you would have had a third (Best Blog Post) if only you had featured your extremely talented and interesting Dad more often. Oh well, live and learn. Hopefully you won't make that mistake again!

As a fellow nominee in the Family/Kids section, I had to stop by to congratulate you!
I have kids...and I also featured a snickers martini on my site a week or so ago. Hmmmmm...not real kid friendly there either :) With your swearing and my alcohol, the kids of the future are sure to be nice and screwed up :)
Congrats to you. Love your blog!

I found your blog BECAUSE of the food blog nominations and I heartily agree on the humor nom. funny you should say that about yourself - I never think I am funny, but have other people tell me so from time to time. who knew?

but really, I love your blog. and I'm glad to have found you through those awards. :)

I second Disinterested Observer's comment. More "Dad " posts.

[Sally]

I'm just glad I'm NOT a flog (food + blog). I'd buckle under the pressure. Congratulations kid - you deserve it. (Hi Dad!) (and Joey)

Oh, come on. Vomit is funny!

[Fish Sauce Hater]

I knew you were funny the day you used "circumlocutive" to describe a meandering poli-sci professor's rambling lectures. Except I just looked up "circumlocutive" and it's not word. Which means I remembered it wrong, and have since dropped it in conversation in a failed attempt to sound smart.

Oh well. Congrats on the nominations. Richly deserved. Remember your pals from Carmichael Hall when you hit the big time ...

[Tammy]

Hater: God, that professor was the worst. Cut to the chase, man. We're paying like five dollars a minute for these stooooopid lectures. Anyway, that's probably why I started making up words. To pass the time. And now I blog. Looks like the joke's on me.

CC: Vomit humor just never gets old.

Sally: Oh, I'm buckling, all right. Stupid blog. Be. More. Funny.

Joey: It's almost as if you two were related.

Melissa: Thanks so much. Come back soon!

Kristen: Snickers martini? I declare you to be the winner of our category!

Dad: Well, your fans have spoken. We'll see what I can scrape together.

Adele: Another local! Welcome and thanks for your nice comment.
