Saskboy’s Spotty Ass
Saskboy is inviting readers to vote for their favourite blog post of the year. It’s for the Spotty Ass Award - no, wait, that’s the ASSPOTY Award (Abandoned Stuff’s Super Post Of The Year). And we are fortunate to be nominated for two of our posts: Stageleft’s post on the Narwhals of Pond Inlet, “From Narwhal to Food in Three Easy Steps“, and my own deceptively simple, searing, moving, thought-provoking piece on the ephemeral nature of failure and success, the chimera that is the illusion of human achievement as we wobble towards death across the narrow tightrope that is life, stretched short and tight across the gaping chasm of chaos beneath the vast indifference of heaven – the masterful, brooding, quietly zen-like “Shanghai Acrobat“.
The lucky winner of the ASSPOTY Award wins – drum roll – the ASSPOTY Award!
Every single one of the nominated pieces is a gem, although only one has Acrobats in it. Go and enjoy.
Why do people insist on pronouncing the award name wrong?
It was very carefully crafted, just like the Canadian Reform Alliance Party was.
Whooee! What an honour! I’m gobsmacked an’ flabbergasted an’ happy as Larry to be among the nominees, no two ways. Congrats to you fellers, too. I ain’t posted up anything yet but I reckon I’ll hafta start panderin’ fer votes if I wanna win the pot.
If I do win, I got just the spot fer displayin’ the ASSPOTY award. In fact, I was in there earlier an’ loaded up a new roll of ASSWIPY.
