Another Dumb Award
This one’s a little different. You AREN’T supposed to link to the person who gave it out, and both of the people who “gave” it to me simply offered it to anyone who happened by. Well, I happen to love awards, so I picked it up. I now offer it to any of you who are interested. The only thing you’re supposed to do on this one is give a grand acceptance speech.
