Perfect Post Awards!
Okey dokey, folks. Flashback Friday is on hold for today, because it's the first day of the month. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? It means it's time for the Perfect Post Awards!
This is the first month that I'm participating in the Perfect Post Awards, brought to you by Suburban Turmoil and MammaK. For more info and other Perfect Post recipients, check out their sites.
And, well, since it's my first time to award it, I thought it should be different. Challenging, in fact. And what is a challenge that I have not yet mastered? Why, iambic pentameter, of course. And so, without further ado:
Shall I award Kate for a funny day?
It was not lovely, nor quite dignified:
Of blisters popped and chin hair she did write,
And many readers likely were quite horrified:
Sometimes too yuck the skin confessions were,
And once a "happy trail" she did imply;
And every fair from fair therefore declined,
By zits or steroid's cream to rectify:
But my eternal laughter did not fade,
Nor lose remembrance of that fair she hath;
Nor was it so gross that I ran and screamed,
But rather thought a "perfect post" to grant:
So long as blogs shall be, or Brillig see,
So long lives this, which post gives laughs to me.
Oh my gosh. I did it. A full sonnett, all 14 lines, all in iambic pentameter. I must have really enjoyed her post. So, in case some of you missed it (because, let's face it, sometimes I had to stretch a bit and it lacked, well, meaning) I hereby award Kate of Walking Kateastrophe
May's Perfect Post for her post, "Just when I thought lazer hair
removal only worked on brunettes."
What are you doing still sitting here? Go read her post!

That is certainly a worthy post! :)
you're right! that post was funny and worthy of an award (totally disgusting, though) But I reserve the right to withold comment on your ...um...poetry!
(actually I'm just teasing - twas very clever!)
Congrats to Kate!
I didn't know you were getting into this!
I don't have the attention span to remember my favorite posts over a whole month!
Yay for Kate! She totally deserves that award. I am in awe of her...uh...lack of discretion when it comes to those matters?
What a good friend you are...
Maybe you can start remembering stuff for me, since you seem to be so good at it.
A sonnet! Impressive. I didn't know about the Perfect Post Awards. Thanks for clueing me in!
I liked Kate's post.
Great job on the sonnet. I'm impressed, only because I wouldn't have the patience (or brainpower) to compose one myself. But from you, dear Brillig, I'm not surprised.
Props to Kate for The Perfect Post Award. I nearly laughed my ass off. Which isn't altogether a bad thing since I certainly have some to spare.
It's nice to see an award go to someone quirky and witty and...ummm...okay, so really, words fail me. =P
well done on the poetry and a nice plug for your friend.
I am in awe of your linguistic prowess.
what a poet.
Brill! I'm here! In Utah! Where are you? I don't see you?
Oooh, a sonnet! I've only written one before, as a middle school assignment. I definitely did not have the patience to give iambic pentameter a try.
I'm not sure if I say "Thank You" to you for awarding me or throttle you for exposing my lack of filter to the whole world . .. but I guess it's my bad because if I didn't want people to know that story I shouldn't have PUBLISHED IT.
Hahaha. Thanks so much! I loves you!
