[LOBO]
Well everyone is sick with Strep, and my hot proofreader LadyTerri is out cold. Please forgive me for the numerous grammatical errors that are doubtlessly unfolding before you: I'll fix them as I find them.
But there appears to be a strange confluence of new people reading this blog.
What they are up to, I'm not sure.
But I'm watching them too.
Oh yes.
I can almost feel those hungry lustful eyes: It's almost like my junior high school P.E. teacher in the shower all over again, but without that chlorine, latex and Old Spice smell.
At least in part, I blame one of my fave writer-slash-bloggers Don Lewis who hath recently bestowed upon us the universally-coveted Quality Original Humor Award.
Where and why Don got the idea this blog is humorous when I strive for nothing more than cold, clinical historical accuracy and fact completely escapes me. But step off: it's MINE ... Keep yer grabby mouse mitts where I can see 'em, pal.Especially if you're my junior high school P.E. teacher.
... that old 'snowcone' bit won't work this time.
Don's site has been one of my faves for quite some time. I think it's disarmingly charming, concealing edgy barbed hooks that sneak deeply into your skin until it's too late to withdraw. He has a kind of subtlety and cool I could only dream of mastering with my crude abilities, and this is augmented nicely by hilarious and meticulously-crafted images that I am far too lazy to tackle myself.
'It's a Funny Thing' is a multi-faceted class act all the way, and well deserving of the Predator Press Lifetime Achievement Award. But unfortunately I would have to design the Predator Press Lifetime Achievement Award, and I am almost certain I've previously mentioned the whole 'lazy' thing. Besides ... Lord Likely has been awarding giant golden "PP"s for quite some time already.
To Don Lewis -the only man who has made me cry since I was 14- I award the Predator Press Temporary Lifetime Achievement Award aka the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.-Because my ego is now so huge, all the sick people hadda move out.

I'll leave you two alone to exchange awards and, you know, kiss on the mouth or whatever it is you want to do now.
