Someone was kind enough to tell me that someone was kind enough to nominate Banterist for a “Blogger’s Choice Award.” I have no idea where the Blogger’s Choice folks stand in the realm of blog awards, but I suppose it’s nice nonetheless. Thank you to whomever liked it enough to nominate it. It’s good to know there are people who can laugh at stuff that isn’t about farts and semen.
Oddly, it seems that they list the site with an “Adult Content” warning. Are they serious? Who are these people? Tipper Gore?
A quick glance at the leaders in the Humor category seems to suggest this is a doomed effort. The current front-runner by a long margin is a mommy diary blog called “Boobs, Injuries and Dr. Pepper.” Not to disparage her effort – it may very well be funny – but this might suggest that “humor” is far too broad a category.
Anyway, if you’d like to vote for Banterist, by all means do so.
Wow – some sites have a ton of votes. Banterist only has 4.
Something is wrong in the world.
Your site is in the top ten already and rising! Methinks the winner unfortunately will be the site with the word boobs in the title. Sad commentary eh?
Brian, you probably won’t win but since when has anyone been able to spot good humour unless it was biting them in the ass?
I like that you don’t need to bite.
Injured Boob Mom’s blog is painful to read. Apparently “humor” in this case means overuse of words relating to sexual intercourse. Meh.
Who’s running this farce of a competition. No chads! And they’ll only let me vote once? That’s just … um … un-American!
You’re now one vote closer to immortality.
That woman is also nominated for Hottest Mommy Blog. It looks like “hot” is a pretty broad category as well.
I actually nominated you because I love reading your blog. It has been a source of unending laughter for me and my friends. (Sorry for putting it under “Adult Content”. I think I was drugged on sleeping pills at the time. HA)
You know what I love about my readers and commenters? They don’t insult other contestants in the running. I was nominated for several categories and, in sizing up the competition, went to each of the blogs competing and read numerous posts before forming an opinion. And then I didn’t make my opinion public unless it was to compliment them. Bad form, 500CBFan and Scott. Bad form.
Crystal: Getting offended over comments on THIS site is rather pointless, to be honest. It’s mostly people off fark and the like, who have no qualms about lambasting pretty much anyone they feel like. It’s a valiant effort, but you’re yelling at the wind.
And, anyway Crystal, take some comfort that you’re sprachgefuhl and your blog readers are aligned perfectly.
(and I ain’t farkin)
Dude – maybe you shld go for hottest daddy blog. Anyway, I wanted to vote for you, you know I did. But I got distracted and, er, em, voted for Redneck Mommy. Sorry. Kinda.
Actually, I come here because I like the intelligent, satirical brand of humor found here. And I despise Fark.
Good luck
I may be a bit late to this party but I have to say I laughed out loud at the words ‘fart’ and ‘semen’.
I voted for you even though you don’t use enough wordy dirds for my taste. ;)
Great job . . . this blog ALWAYS puts a smile on my face.
