Awards!!! Poopalanche edition

This week's title is brought to us by Sara, who wins the Whine of Substance award for her adventures in Mother-in-Law land, a place none of us should ever ever ever have to visit.

The Cluestick Posse (with me at the head) is movin' out to Canada this week, to swing the sticks upside the head of Little Miss Burnout, who --- get this --- blames Sue's headaches for turning her off church. Nice. At least now you know why you're grouchy in the mornings, Sue.

The coveted Bill The Cat Award for best Whine to Anti-whine Turn-around in a Whining Cycle (and funniest Anti-whine) goes to Amy and her daughter. Amy, you may print out the picture to hang on your daughter's wall.

Sending love and hugs to Esperanza for her very hard week, including a badly timed lunch break. I'm so sorry, Esperanza.

The Burma Award for Closest Shave goes to Genevieve who, due to a co-worker brain fart, almost missed a deadline, and as Kathy A. correctly stated, she is also the winner of this week's Elevated Risk of Mullet (against daunting feces-covered competition) for the inspiring dictum:
Attention local young adult: repeat after me, "An intersection is NOT a skate park." Thank you.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes, and for your entering with so much spirit into this week's theme.

Tune in next week, when your host will be Dr. Redzils.

liz, such inspired awards! i'm totally loving the bill-the-cat award!

and ((( esperanza ))), this may be too late to help, but i've heard that often folks die when their beloveds leave the room for a needed break. when my nephew was dying, the doctor told us this might happen; she speculated that somehow, they may wish those closest to be spared being there. xoxoxo

Great awards Liz! Thanks!!

esperanza said...

Yes, kathy a, quite true, and I suspect true in this case. Family wasn't so convinced of it, though.

Great awards, now off to work for me.

Applause! A multi-media awards ceremony. Very nice work, Liz.

Hugs to all the pixies.

The presence of the letter 'r' in mostly all the right places in this comment suggests that my keyboard is recovering from the eyeglass cleaning fluid I spilled on it yesterday! Woohoo!

Marvelous and funny ceremony, thank you, Liz! I will remember the Burma award the next time I have a deadline with this coworker.

Joining the Cluestick Posse to chase Little Miss Burnout. How rude, tactless, passive-agressive, just plain false, and guilt-mongering. Puh-leez.
