aggienaut | 2006 Snailie Awards (& Geoducks)

Order of the Geoduck
The Golden Geoduck!    Some 22 individuals came out for 30 in 30 III this year. Half of them completed the undertaking.
   apoplecticfittz, emd, gerbilgrrl, myself, roter_terror, abunchofcrap & shypurplepanda completed this task with an entry every day for the thirty days in question. I present these victors with the order of the Golden Geoduck!

   bargroks & eazyt missed some days, but caught up and wrote thirty entries during the month. For this I present them with the Silver Geoduck!

   Additionally, xaositecte came up two short, but blogged valiantly until the very end, and wrote some excellent entries. Therefore by way of honourable mention I award him the Plain Geoduck!

THE 2006 SNAILIE AWARDS
Best Commenter: pavel_lishin 661 comments made per month, amazing!

Most Likely To Comment Despite not Having an LJ Account: "the most obvious Orthodox Jew on campus," Ken Bloom - a local figure so significant Cafe Italia named a dish after him!

Most Likely To In Fact be a Gibbon: ashael

Most Likely to Politically Enrage roter_terror: competition is always fierce for this honour, and this year we had an unusual number of more conservative bloggists vying for it, but eventually eazyt emerged victorious by lauding low minimum wages.

Most Likely Not To Notice I Mentioned Them: aiimmmee, or aimeedarling, or whatever her name is these days.

Best Up & Comer: gerbilgrrl. She's new to me at least and she displayed a consistent level of decent blogging this month.

Lifetime Blogchievement Runner up: emd. Her dedication in diplomatically defusing the many blogschisms which threatened to tear the blogosphere apart is legendary. Her blogchievements in their own right exemplary.

Lifetime Blogchievement Award: Geoffrey of Monmouth, author of Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of England). His work was accepted as historical fact for literally centuries, influencing countless subsequent scholars; however, modern scholars now see it as a "deliberate spoof." This is clear megabloggist behaviour, and very successful behaviour at that!! Additionally he was made a bishop, ten days after being made a priest, probably as part of some epic blog-prant which has since been lost, and never visited his bishopric.
