The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

They gave me the bird

The 2006 Okie Blogger Bash continues, even as I type, and the Awards have been given. Very good turnout, and a lot of deserving winners.

Me? Um, I was the last one anybody mentioned.

Congratulations to all the nominees.

Update, 10:10 pm: Don Danz has all the details.

Oh, and Monty? Serious voluptuosity.

Howdy. I just got back from the Okie Blogger Round-up. I have put the kids to bed, and very soon will do something similar to myself. The intrepid Don Danz live-blogged the whole thing, and for all I know is still updating that post even now. Michael......[read more]

» Okie Blogger Round-Up round--up from BatesLine
The 2006 Okie Blogger Round-up was a fun event and a good start to what everyone hopes will be an annual tradition. Much credit belongs to Mike Hermes of Okiedoke, who started the planning on this over a year ago. It was well organized, and there was n......[read more]

Congratulations! You deserve it.

I'm not sure how you meant that, but I'm taking it as complimentary. ;)

Congrats on a most well deserved award, and I'm so very very very happy I got to meet the esteemed Dustbury Dude. :D

I guess they know quality when they see it.

Posted by: McGehee at 9:11 AM on 24 September 2006

Yep, we know a gloat, bordering on SMUGNESS, when we see it. I am soooooooooooo jealous. NOT.

It's about time!

Congratulations, Mr. Hill. Your selection is well-earned on its own merits, and offsets the idea of giving OkieFunk an award for anything other than "largest and most inaccurate bag of wind." The voters are provisionally redeemed.

"Provisionally"? Does this mean that we have some questionable ballots? (Mike's pretty hard-nosed about checking stuff like that.)

Oh, and let's not bash other winners, or even losers. This was a celebration, not a monster-truck rally.

Posted by: CGHill at 7:23 PM on 24 September 2006

My apologies.

Posted by: Brett at 9:53 PM on 24 September 2006

Say, Pimp might like to win dat award for "Largest and most inaccurate bag of wind." Actually, ANY award at this point might actually get the Pimp some WOMEN, ya think?

Congratulations, Charles. The recognition is well-deserved.

Posted by: Terry Hull at 10:14 AM on 25 September 2006

Charles, you totally got your groove on! Between the voluptuosity and the flat-out groovin' that took place, I must say it was one of THE most awesome nights in my life.

Congrats on being the "last" one awarded!

Congrats, Charles!
