As I may have mentioned, this weblog has been nominated for a Satin Pajama Award in the category of “most underrated weblog”. Sorry, “most underappreciated” over atFistful of Euros. However, if this weblog receives the most votes, i.e. “wins”, that would mean that it is, among the nominees in that category, actually the least underappreciated. In which case the award should go to the nominee receiving the fewest votes, i.e. the loser. It is a difficult situation.

This is cool. Link found here.

Reader review: …my kids had fun and learned a lot about how the government works in the process.

Mr. Sun again, this time for the children.

Just when you think the world is going all to hell, the vice president of the United States shoots a lawyer in the face. I am old enough to remember when we had to make do with Gerald Ford beaning spectators with golf balls. Believe me, this is better.

Ok, that’s all. I promise to leave this alone from now on. This is like napalm birthday cake frosting, too rich and hard to dose right.

Welcome to writer’s block week here at metamorphosism.com, celebrated whenever traffic spikes. Traffic has more than tripled this week, in large part due to thousands of people coming here via searches for various permutations of the phrase “valentine limericks”. So all of you people who didn’t enter this year’s Valentine’s Day limerick contest? Your loss, people.

Also, Francis linked me. Thanks, Francis.

And grendel. Thanks, grendel. Himself a nominee for best German weblog, he was pointing out that this site has been nominated for another blogging award. Or, rather, once again nominated for an award, because I don’t think the site has received any that I haven’t invented myself. Although, I got a corgi once, didn’t I?

This year’s nomination is for “most underappreciated” weblog. This is exciting, because I actually have a shot at that when you think about it. Consider voting for Grendel, Francis and Wood’s Lot while you’re there, if you should happen to go.
