Actually, I already received an apology for the award being included from
one of the organizers ... a write in no less. Since the Emjays are
"supposed" to be fun ... a family event to bring us altogether ... a
blatant insult thrown in for good measure would appear to be out of place.
I guess it's another case of your bad behavior is unwelcome, but mine is
a-okay ... so be it. Considering that I "earned" the award because of that
kind of behavior is not ... uhm, appreciated ... whoever came up with it is
a total fucking hypocrite and I hand them the award with a very gracious
smile and a bow to their complete lack of class ... with a bottle of windex
for their glass pulpit to boot. Practice what you preach or shut the fuck
up already.

I thank the organizers for their hard work ... I thank most of my public
for choosing me over the other candidates ... and may Santa reek havoc on
the one or more unmentionables, your love and kindness during the season of
such is overwhelming to say the least ... :)

It's people like them that make me eligible for the award ... why? Cause
I'm not some spine-less yellow-bellied wimp who'll sit down and take it.
Yes, thank you ... I owe you all my titles ... Flamer, Scary, Annoying,
Bullheaded, etc., for if it weren't for your instigatio ... I mean
inspiration, I'd be List Lurker and nothing more.

A very Merry Christmas to one and to all!

A
List Flamer 97 (and 96 if don't count the Black Ball vote)
List Conservative 97 & 96 (ROFL! If they only knew)
And as usual almost at least nomination in everything else
 if not runner up
