And the winners are....

Elevated Risk of Mullet Award goes to Sarah, for "The amount of crying in our house will probably lead me to drinking. Then who knows, we'll end up in a country song. Seems like a bad direction."

Best Anti-Whine Award to Liz, who confided, "On the plus side, the shirt I'm wearing has gotten 7 compliments at last count. So...I may feel like pook but I loook mahvelous."

Learn Something New Every DayAwards to all participants in this week's informational extravaganza about POS and rabbits.

Rolling Stone Award to Gary, for his excellent W/AW/W combo: the band broke up after a miserable gig; he won't miss the diva guitarist; but he'll miss the drummer.

Birthday Parade Award to Amy, whose birthday somehow did not fall on Memorial Day weekend this year, and WHERE IS THE PARADE?

Revenge of the Rube Goldberg Car Award to JenR, who owns the car problem that just keeps giving, this time in the form of the OMG credit card bill. Best with the other thing, too, JenR.

Wonders of Modern Medicine Award to Emily, who had to thrash through the thicket of a newfangled scheduling system only to learn that she does not really exist. And then she got squished.

Ms. Manners Award to Days, who brought two (2) items to a potluck as requested, and then got stinkeye from the host's daughter, who thought she didn't bring enough and should limit her servings accordingly. Pixies find that person to have remarkably bad manners.

Fender Bender Award to Neighbor Lady, who felt just terrible, but very very relieved that the BIG dent was pre-existing, and the owner very nice.

Heat Wave Awards to all Pixies suffering from an over-abundance. This award includes complimentary fans, popsicles, and iced beverages of choice.

Go Team Go Award to Sue, who finished a relay race! The Posse has a message for the bike guy who reported on your speed.

Cluesticks to Mr. Verizon Man, who brilliantly found the wrong address and woke Esperanza from a well-needed nap, escaping with his life only because the Baboos continued to slumber; and who also, all the way across the country, stalked Neighbor Lady through her front window when she didn't answer the door.

Saddest Anti-Whine Award to KLee, whose job was eliminated, so she has to transfer to a new job somewhere else, but at least she is still employed. Many hugs to you, Klee.

Yay for new babies! And onion rings! And riding a bike without training wheels! Boo on tummy ick, TMJ, medical complaints of all kinds, legal complications, calls on the day off, solo parent duty, and all manner of other afflictions. Thanks for playing!

Join us next week, when the fabulous Liz will host STYLE WEEK at the Whiner's Ball! Start working on those entertaining masterpieces of poetry, prose, and song!
