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!

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

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

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

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

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

one_trey.jpg
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

cartman_laurence.jpg
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.

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

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

blinddate_paul.jpg
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.

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

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

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

man_hook.jpg
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.)

You're quite welcome.

And I'm still waiting for those catsuit pictures...

I didn't know pinging did it for you, otherwise I'd have been doing it more!!!

Posted by: Jack at December 13, 2004 02:29 AM

Why, thank you, Jen! I shall proudly post my Windy sometime this week!

Posted by: Victor at December 13, 2004 06:47 AM

I'm touched!

And I don't mean in that psychotic way that most people use to refer to me.

Thanks Jen :)

Why thank you Jen... I'll always remember you as my first.... award presenter.

Great Awards, Jen!! [And I'm not just saying that because I received a most justly deserved one ;P]

Melissa Rivers:

"And here come's Paul, from Sanity's-Edge. Wow! Now that's what a guy in a tuxedo should look like!"

Joan Rivers:

"He's the king of the red carpet, Melissa. And look at that bulge in his trousers..."

Posted by: Paul at December 13, 2004 11:14 AM

Oh crap.

I swore I wouldn't cry.

*SNIFF*

Eeeee!

Thanks, Jen!

Posted by: Trey Givens at December 13, 2004 11:38 AM

Wow. I'm moved beyond words. Thank you.

Posted by: Sgt Hook at December 13, 2004 01:30 PM

Daniel inspired some freakin' great posts!

Posted by: Victor at December 13, 2004 01:43 PM

You know what I'm going to say about that award, don't you?

Looks awfully painful to have to go blow it out of your ass.

Damn, I hate awards.

Posted by: Laurence Simon at December 13, 2004 02:55 PM

I know, LS, and I'd expect nothing less from you.

Posted by: Jennifer at December 13, 2004 02:58 PM

There are catsuit pictures? Cool!

I wonder... does that qualify for entry in Carnival of the Cats?

Posted by: Jay at December 13, 2004 05:01 PM

WOO HOO! "Top Commenter"! An award just for showing up! It's... like a paycheck!! :D

Posted by: Tuning Spork at December 13, 2004 08:07 PM

What?!? No TRO? Sheesh...some stalker award.

Posted by: Kin at December 13, 2004 11:30 PM

oh hell, now I am going to have to post something. Thanks.
