Tagged by The Lush a few days ago to spare a few kind words about a couple of other blogs, I thought it was high time i got my lazy arse into gear and handed out a trophy.
Thing is, the whole thing's a bit like choosing your bridesmaids. Not everyone gets to wear the hideous minty green satin sack at the end of the day and along the way there will be many a lip oozing from gravel rash. Solution? Choose only one maid of honour (or in this case Best Man) and you hopefully minimise the damage. Ever so slightly.
So without further ado, The Granny Wrangler's Golden Statuette (a plated Zimmer frame) goes to: Christian Bale. Or rather the man who Christian Bale looks like: The witty, dangerously deep dark and talented, 'when i type i swear to GOD there's angel music' Monsieur *Kyknoord*.
Cool and classy with a deliciously intellectual humour, The Other Side Of The Mountain is a thing of blogging beauty. Pant-wettingly funny, sad, poignant and arbitrary bordering on genius. Never a spelling mistake, positively dripping with grammatical prowess and the use of wonderful words like 'defenestration' makes both blog and writer a duo i can only aspire to be like. Technically and grammatically sound, this is writing at the highest standard (in my ever so humble opinion) so when the SA Blog awards were frivolously tossed out with a giggle not so long ago, i thought it an utter travesty that a blog so deserving of Best Writing didn't win. The award was meant to be about the art of writing and not merely topically controversial content. Everyone's a couch critic (check the Malibu beach houses of all the American Idol judges), hence I'm making my own awards up in my little head and guess what Kyk? You bloody win hands down! MWAH! Love your talented ass!
Oh shit, the music's starting already.

Thanks schweetheart, you're the best :-D I just love hideous minty green satin sacks. (It was the Caramello Bear, wasn't it?)
MMMM. Caramello Bears... you bite off their heads and drain their fluids....mmmmm! And they scream!
Betenoir - for once since she got back the Ex GW's post was not about sexual innuendo, yet it takes a full two comments to get back on track! I like the way you think...
GW, nice post, inspired me to checkout the other side of the table.
So this is all just a ploy to get him into a minty green satin sack dress??
Just because The Queen did so well at the Oscars this year, it does not mean that all award ceremonies need to have a Queen.
I'm not sure about the Christian Bale bit, but the rest I heartily concur with :) He is brilliant :)
kyk: it was SO the caramello bear.
betenoir: or your press their lickle tummies and watch the chaos errupt.
wiggles: see? i'm not always responsible for the grubbiness.
revo: ooooo we have another witty contender. who's your celebrity lookalike...?
parenthesis: dude. SO christian bale. specsavers?
Kermit the Frog
Ah, that would be dudette, at least it was the last time I looked. And I wasn't implying KN's not hot. I meant he's hotter than young Chris ... [only don't tell him, he might develop an ego] ... :p
Gotta agree. Kyknoord always has me in stitches, as well as your blog. Well, when i'm online and can read them.

Absolutely.
revo: bet getting a table at a french restaurant's pretty easy huh?
parenthesis: whew, as long as we're agreed then. yes, best not to tell him.
insano: tell him to not play so rough ;)
inyoka: fine discernment. you can stay :)
Well I think that french restaurants are a croak of shit.
Blogging with grammatical perfection and without spelling mistakes is pretty rare these days.
At least I purposefully admit to using "and" after commas all the time.
Kyk, however, manages to work around such idiocy quite graciously. Gotta respect that.
