A Little Thank You

Welcome to the 2004 Windies! What's a "Windy", you ask? It's the nickname for the JenLars Blog Award statue.

This marks the first-ever JLB Awards, an exciting roundup of the bloggers who helped JenLars the most. These award winners inspired, sent traffic to, and/or are the most loyal readers of Jen's blog. Windies are awarded based on a completely arbitrary process that is top-secret. Due to failing memory accompanying old age, it is possible you were inadvertently left out of the Windies (or your whininess was underestimated)...if this is the case, apologies all around.

Now, randomly ordered, we present the Windy Winners!

The Sunshine Award is happily given to Harvey, for always making me smile with his comments and innuendo.

The Longevity Award is given to Victor, who I believe is the longest regular reader of my blog who still reads and comments regularly.

The Top Commenter Award goes to another long-time reader, Tuning Spork, who is my most ardent commenter.

The Underpants Gnome Award is presented without comment to Ted. :-)

The Legacy Award is given to Susie, who has blogrolled me longer than anybody else.

I once commented that Trey Givens was the cutest guy on my blogroll. That's why he wins the Still #1 Award. Should Trey be unable to fulfill his duties as the winner, Flibby will take his place.

The Stalker of the Year is undoubtedly Kin, who gave me my own category in his blogroll. You should all follow his example.

My Favorite BlogParent Award goes to Kevin, who blogrolls me and even acknowledges my existence now and then.

The Andrea Yates BlogParent Award is given to Frank J, without comment.

The Frozen Pop BlogParent Award is presented without comment to Citizen Smash/The Indepundit.

My Favorite BlogChild Award has to go to Pete, even though he is on a blogging break at the moment.

The Best Pinger Award is given to Jack, who gives great ping.

Referrer of the Year is undoubtedly Blackfive, who has sent me approximately 10% of my traffic.

The Vicarious Award is presented to Jay and Deb, whom I love to live vicariously through. Duh.

The Newbie Award goes to Kyle because I recently noticed him commenting a lot.

The Eric Cartman Award is given to Laurence Simon, because he says what other people only think. And several things we never thought of in the first place.

The Kurt Cobain Award is presented to Bill for being the most suicidal blogger. Don't do it!

The Muse of the Year goes to a blogger who has inspired more posts than anyone else--directly or indirectly. DFMoore is that blogger.

The Blind Date Award goes to Paul, because I have no idea what he looks like but I'd have his children anyway. You know, theoretically.

The Alexander Graham Bell Award is presented without comment to WindRider.

The Jimmy from the Block Award goes to the Jim who most remembers the little people.

The BlogGod Award clearly goes to Pixy Misa, who makes all of this possible for me and so many others.

And finally, the Man of the Year Award goes to Sgt Hook for obvious reasons.

(Feeling left out and want your own Windy? Want one a little racier? Here's a blank one for all your photo-shopping needs.)
