Kev — There must be a web award for Best Blog Name somewhere. Bloggers Choice needs to add that category.

I’m glad you’re a fan. As for the frequency of posts, two words: No kids.

A very deserved “congratulations!” Like I mentioned some time ago, you have a writing style that is very funny, clear and entertaining. And the frequency at which you write is quite impressive.

Many thanks for the mention. I’ve always considered “Special Kind of Stupid” to be the best blog name, and now I have proof. I’m not sure what you mean by my having a dry sense of humor, though. You must have me confused with some other fellow.

Terry — I do have special powers, including the ability to cancel meetings at will. I wrote about it here, if you’re interested:

I do have a good feeling about your work getting noticed by some huge media outlet, and then you’ll become a household name. It’s the same good feeling I get when I’m able to cancel a meeting. It WILL happen for you! I’m sure of it.

Moonshadow — Thanks again for bestowing an award on me. It was a crazy night last night, what with me doing the interview circuit and all the cameras in my face. The paparazzi really don’t let up! Gotta go. Leno just called.

Standing and applauding, wonderful speech, Kathy! Looks like I just made it to the tail end of the awards ceremony. Savor your time in the spotlight.

@ Mike — Thanks for the toast! And I’m glad I found your blog, too. Nice to be rubbing shoulders with someone who writes professionally and I still can’t get over the fact that you got a story picked up for a movie. This is just way cool. Cheers!

@ Cardiogirl — Loved the Spongebob story! See, THAT’S why I keep coming back to your blog. I like your style!

@ Frogster — First, you ARE your blog. It shows and your readers appreciate it. I still laugh when I think about your North American Van Lines story, esp. the picture at the end. Good stuff. Second, never say “BAM” here again, or you’re not welcome back. I hate that guy. Thanks for sticking me in your blogroll. I’m in good company.

Good job Kathy! I do believe I met you and JD simultaneously over at her haiku fest. Good times!

When I read the title of the award "Be The Blog" I immediately thought of a SpongeBob episode. I'm betting you don't watch him, but he is kind of amusing even if the watching is forced.

Anyway there was one episode about a crane game -- you know those ones that have a ton of stuffed animals and for 50 cents you get one chance at moving the crane, pressing a button and perhaps picking up a stuffed animal.

Well SpongeBob is really good at it and Squidward sucks. So SpongeBob tutors Squidward and he says, very seriously, as a mantra: "Be the crane. Be the crane."

This is a long set up for a comment, isn't it? Anyway, that's how I said it in my head when I saw the words "Be the blog."

Um, yeah. So in conclusion Congratulations and thanks for the nod! It's so nice to be recognized and appreciated. Thank you!

Congratulations! Well deserved! You really do have a very funny blog…and this is coming from a guy who enjoys very funny stuff. In fact, I only choose the finest of funny stuff. That is why I shop here for it. Great job, Kathy. A virtual “Toast” to you. –Mike

I've been sporadic about posting and bloghopping lately, so tonight I was just getting the cobwebs out of the corners and putting a cool new widget thingy up. I saw your picture in the MyBlogLog picture and I realized I didn't have you on my blogroll. My blogroll is pretty much for my own purposes- it's where I put the blogs I dig. So I stopped on by to link to you and BAM! (as Emeril would say) there was a shiny award! How about that? Pretty cool, huh? Makes me wonder how many other blogs are out there with awards for me that I haven't seen yet. If there's 80 million blogs, I'll need to make some coffee to stay up long enough to find them all.

Thanks a bunch for the shout out, Kathy. On my first blogoversary last week I thought about what I wanted the blog to be, what I wanted to say, how things have changed over the last year, etc. Then I was like "forget this- time for cake."

I think that only by seeming a bit insane at times am I able to stay sane most times. Maybe. I think.

Thanks.

Wow, this is a long comment, so I'm not gonna proofread it. Here goes.
