defective yeti was nominated for a 2005 Bloggie award<\/a>, in the “Most Humorous Blog” category. Hooray for defective yeti!<\/p>\n

I made a passing reference to this fact on Monday, in a brief post where I predicted that most readers would instead vote for Dooce<\/a>, who is also a finalist in the same category. I think some people misinterpreted this as some sort of subtle, sour-grapes, reverse-psychology ploy on my part to get people to pat me on the shoulder and say “there, there — you are so<\/em> much funnier than Dooce.” Others took it as a subtle dig at Heather’s expense. Ah, no. People, rest assured: when I use subtlety, I will make it painfully obvious.<\/p>\n

Heather and I are friends — not physical, we-go-out-and-play-miniature-golf-together friends, true, but certainly as Internet, we’re-in-a-book<\/a>-together, we-both-just-had-kids, my-wife-often-gets-us-confused<\/a>, we’ve-been-known-to-exchange-mix-CDs friends — and no weblog award hoohaw is going to suddenly make us rivals. Furthermore, I would be reluctant to compete against Heather in anything, for fear of a thorough ass-kicking. Well, maybe pie-eating. I bet I could pull a draw in pie-eating. Possibly Boggle.<\/p>\n

Anyway, some folks were badmouthing Dooce in the comments of that post, so I pulled it. I recognize that one of the central tenets of quality blogging is that you never delete anything you’ve written, so I guess it’s a good thing that, from this site’s very inception, quality has never entered the equation. Besides: if The Queen were to discover that people we’re dissing her favorite site on my<\/em> site, I’d probably wind up sleeping on the couch. So its removal was an act of self-preservation, really.<\/p>\n

I think that’s enough said about that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, thanks for the nomination, person and\/or people who nominated me! Now that I’ve been nominated twice<\/a>, Voiceover Man can start mention that fact in any movie trailers I happen to appear in. (“Starring Acadamy Award Winner Denzel Washington, Acadamy Award Winner Judi Dench, and two-time Bloggie Nominnee Matthew Baldwin, in Land Before Time XI: Rise Of The Machines<\/em>…”)<\/p>\n

And, now: let the “Most Humorous Blog” nominations second-guessing begin! The comments are open: please mention the blogs that make you go hah hah hah. I’ll start with Mr. Sun<\/a>, Fafblog<\/a> and The Sneeze<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
