Award!

Reader Aaron has honored IMAO with the “Chuck Will Allow Your Blog to Live” Award:

You know how there is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live?

So, too, the blogosphere.

FINE PRINT:

To join the exclusive club of blogs who honor IMAO and have your award featured on our sidebar with a link to your blog, make up a fancy award image honoring IMAO, blog about it, and drop a link in the comments.

Keep it PG-13, and if it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, your award will be duly noted in a post (which may take a while if participation is heavy, so be patient), and placed in the sidebar with a link to your site.

As added incentive for people to honor IMAO with worthless, made-up awards, those who do so may proudly display this worthless, made-up Participant Ribbon:

If you don’t have a blog, then send your image to harvolson-at-gmail.com and include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts.

For the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint

Or try the free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. Please make sure text is at least barely legible at that size.

Now get honoring!

All the way from Afghanistan, Jinxmedic101 of Crew Secured – Brace for Impact has honored IMAO with the “Society for the Preservation of Armed Dinosaurs” Award:

Frank’s been bucking for a Spaddie for quite a while now. Glad to see all his hard work finally paid off.

ADDENDUM: Pammy V of Right Wing Chick asks “I think this contest is rigged. Some of us don’t have the skills to make a fancy schmancy award. Is there a affirmative active clause for those of us who are unskilled in the this photoshop stuff?”

Sort of.

As much as I like “fancy schmancy”, I’d gladly settle for something that looks like it was made by a crack-addled liberal performance-artist who smeared chocolate on his naked body and rolled around on a canvas, as long as it honors the glorious wonderfulicity of IMAO. A picture and a little text – BAM! – you’re there. For example:

And for the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint.

ALSO: I’ve received a number of requests by the blogless, begging for the privilege of honoring IMAO. I’ll allow it on the condition that – along with the image – you also include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts. If you don’t include a link, I will select one myself at semi-random. Send to harvolson-at-gmail.com

Mr. Right of The Right Place has honored IMAO with the “This Blog Does Not Suck!” Award:

I thought it was very nice of him not to mention that the reason IMAO doesn’t suck is that sucking would actually be a step UP for us, quality-wise.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. If your award image is crammed with indistinguishable details, or tiny, squinty print that looks like crap at 190px, that may very well count as sucking too terribly bad.

Now get honoring!

Innominatus of Innominatus has honored IMAO with the “Superior Satire” Award:

And no crummy Obama “I didn’t really bow” bows, either. We demand sincere, subservient kneeling!

Rick of The Rabid Conservative has honored IMAO with a completely useless and utterly meaningless award that he made up for the sole purpose of drawing attention to himself:

Despite this being only marginally more thoughtful than a stack of last-minute DVD’s from the White House gift shop, IMAO will display this image with pride, since we have so little of our own.

No, wait… maybe that’s “shame” I was thinking of…

Either way, this brings up the obvious question:

WHAT HAVE THE REST OF YOU DONE FOR US LATELY?

Yes, yes, reading, commenting, buying mechandise, clicking on the 80 bazillion ads that litter the site like stink on a hippie, but other than that?

…That’s what I thought.

Well, here’s your chance to redeem yourselves and get a link in the sidebar that Frank’s too lazy to update the blogroll on.
