But thanks to everyone who so generously wastes their time here.<br /><br />I nearly published my Poodle "acceptance speech," but it was harsher than I like, if honest. So instead I tossed up this parade of nonsense to clear my cluttered head. <br /><br />A sincere thank you to everyone who makes writing this crap, and being the HoseMaster of Wine, worthwhile.

That's just crazy talk. Oh, oh I got one, "What if they let other bloggers pick who wins?" or even better, "What if getting your whole family, even your uncle that has been asked not to return to family dinners, to vote for you?! Like get on every computer they can access while on house arrest and log on to your blog, for the first time ever, and click away to award you, The Most Talented?!"
