Koufax finals are here!
We interrupt this blog’s recent Journeys to January 2004 in order to bring you vital, late-breaking news from some point or other last night: the finalists in the Koufax Awards have been announced!
This humble, newly updated, and oft-renamed blog has managed to claw and beg its way into five categories.
Best Series, for my posts on Jamie.
Best Writing, in which Chris Clarke deserves to win and therefore must be defeated. That climate change sestina was the last straw.
Best Post, for an essay near and dear to my heart.
Most Humorous Post, in which Rox, PZ, and the Poor Man rule.
And Most Humorous Blog, which is a minor travesty of justice, because I do not, in fact, have one of the ten most humorous blogs on the left side of the dial. I happen to know that I wound up in the finals only because I faced Wichita State in the last round, and Wichita State turned out to be a completely humorless blog.
Of course, even if you’re a regular reader of this mildly-humorous blog, you’re under no special obligation to vote for me in any of the above categories. But you should probably be advised that if you don’t vote for me, I’m going to spend the rest of the month posting excerpts from the Grundrisse der Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie, twelve thousand words at a time. Just saying.
Kudos to all the nominees, and don’t forget the other blog awards hosted by our comrades at Sadly, Non!
