Yup yup.

I'm partial to the Kelly Lee Wildest Attack Strategy and the Aaron vs Steve Nemeses categories. Scott are there any Academy like rules against campaigning for your favorites?

Scott Hardie | September 1, 2010
Nope. I was surprised it didn't start sooner.

Steve West | September 1, 2010
For your consideration...

Aaron Shurtleff | September 2, 2010
I did not start this to campaign for myself! Honestly, it was more to make sure as many people as possible voted. Make your voice heard!!

...ok. I did it to have an excuse to put that Bono picture up... Hate U2. :P

I compiled the "Funniest Sentence Taken Completely Out of Context" nominees by drawing random sentences from around the site until I had a good blend. Amy's hilarious comment was the very first one that came up, and it had me in stitches for hours. I knew that the category, and in fact the entire ballot, was going to work when I saw that sentence come up. If I have any favorite on the ballot, it's that one.

You know, I still get pooh poohed every time I tell people not to see The Hangover because it is so not funny. :D Humor is subjective, I guess.

I can talk about other categories if there's interest. I was unsure for the longest time about having a "Favorite Blog" category, since it comes close to being a simple popularity contest, which the other categories try to avoid. (You're supposed to vote on how much you like the blog, not necessarily the blogger, but it's a narrow distinction.) In the end, I chose to go with it because I wanted blogs to have a place of prominence in this, and I couldn't think of a more indirect way of including them that didn't veer too closely to the other categories. I nominated all blogs that had at least ten posts within the last year, which unfortunately left out a few quiet but popular titles, but that's what the write-in option is for.

I hear you, Aaron. I'm from Chicago; I used to risk being lynched for saying that Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Blues Brothers aren't very funny.

Steve, I have three points to make in counter-argument.

* U.S.A.!

* U.S.A.!

* U.S.A.!

Sources that wish to remain anonymous say that Steve Dunn is the non-voting fuddy duddy. This is a Fox News exclusive!

Steve Dunn | September 2, 2010
Haha, funny thing is, I cast the "non-voting" vote and then went ahead and voted anyway.

With each vote, I pondered how Aaron Shurtleff would vote and tried as nearly as possible to do the opposite.
