Well I could just sense him casting something... And I knew that I wouldn't know what it was until it was done. Assuming he had the reagents. But I suspect that he was distracted by another post and couldn't easily retarget me after I ducked behind some other posters. So in the end he wrote me an email too, as it happens. But, I don't go about just sensing things like that. Andrew isn't missing, he was Bradguarded. I half hoped you might have had a "Biggest cluster-fluff of a holiday patch" category that we could have won. I mean, we worked so hard to earn it. Why is the award a cameo of Richard Stallman, after he's just been told that he just shook Bill Gates' hand? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Richard_Stallman_2005_%28chrys%29.jpg) When he joined us at a Balti Restaurant in London, I never saw him make use of a knife. Has Richard Stallman truly discovered the way to wealth is giving your code away for free and not investing in cutting tools?

I would like to thank the Acad…. err Nerfbat for this award, you know, we are a little bit out of touch in blog land every once in a while. I think it’s probably a good thing.

Accordingly, Ethic has enshrined it before he thinks better of it. Mike Nichols, director of Spamalot, perhaps said it best: My love to those who have not won tonight and I just want to remind you of my motto: ‘Cheer up, life isn’t everything!’ [...] [...] Our dear friend Grouchy Gnome has said a nice thing about us.

That's it, I'm pulling my game out of the competition, too! ;) [Raph lost] in part because [he has] a better beard than I do.

When I read your stuff I have to *gasp* THINK! I think I gave it to Scott over you in part because I still think of him as "Lum the Mad" from UO days, and in part because you have a better beard than I do. Yes, these awards were definitely biased. Raph: Yes, but he writes in stupid people speak so it’s easier to glance over. When I read your stuff I have to *gasp* THINK!
