Short Listed. Better Than Short Sheeted.

The list of Irish Blog Award nominees has been whittled down and I miraculously find myself not yet among the whittled. Clearly, the system has failed. But thank you to the judges, who've obviously been drinking, and to the still unknown soul who nominated us for the honor. Mom?

The process now moves on to round two judging, which I guess began yesterday. So if any of you have some funny ideas I could write about in the next few days, please send them along. Quickly. Or if you'd like to post a comment extolling my blogawesomeness, you can go ahead and do that too. To aid you, I've drafted a few cut-n-paste comments below. Feel free.

"Wow, Danny. This blog gets better every day! And to think you write it from inside that iron lung!"

"The only reason I even own a computer is to read Tir na Blog! And on-line poker. It's handy for that, too."

"If weren't for your insightful writing, witty barbs, informative updates, clever cartoons, and breaking Irish Fest news, I'd probably go watch TV or talk to my wife or something."

"It's true what you said about those Irish Blog Awards judges, Danny! They are good looking!"

And to my KCIF board of directors colleagues who've been so helpful in keeping me humble by completely ignoring the great honor of being nominated for the awards, I have some special comments for you that I'll deliver at our next meeting.
