This is all kinds of funny people.
I did some very unlady-like begging to get this award, just so I could pass it on to my manly blogger-type friends.
Check out the crew (Master Jedi Zack, Darth Corder, and Carl) at Boys Rule Boys Read! blog, who are the creators of this fab award. The trio is funny, and get-out crazy for boys and books. What could be better?
Because, really, could I give my manly blogger friends this?
This is in no way sexist, it is simply a style issue. And all my blogger friends are wicked smart, delightfully funny, and crazy charming, and deserving of awards. Now I have one to pass on to my favorite ones of the manly variety. If I gave you an award before, it doesn’t count, because this one is BETTER!
As per Carl’s instructions, part of accepting a Manly Sweaty Doll Blogger Award requires that you answer at least 4 of these questions (and I will do so, in spite of the fact that I do not sweat, I perspire):
Tell a couple of things about yourself, the name of your favorite guy book, your favorite sports moment, favorite MANLY MAN movie, favorite manly music, and your Favorite Food With No Nutritional Value.
1. I can rewire the light switch and not injure anyone, including myself.
2. I saw the original Star Wars (Ep4) in the theatre. 33 times.
3. Favorite Food with No Nutritional Value: Raspberry Zingers, preferrably frozen.
4. Favorite MANLY MAN movie: Any James Bond, but preferrably with Sean Connery. I mean it’s Sean Connery. *swoon* Eh, sorry.
5. Favorite Guy Book: Definitely the Percy Jackson series. Before that Harry Potter owned me. Before that anything Heinlein wrote.
Check out these manly bloggers. You won’t regret it.
Free The Princess: To Matthew, for his love of steampunk, his secret desire to be an engineer (you know you do!), and his wonderfully insightful blog postings on all things writerly.
Bane’s Blogging Blues: To Bane, for his constant wit, the fact that he is an engineer, and his willingness to geek out without (much) apology.
The Alchemy of Writing: To Ink, for his achingly beautiful prose, his rapier wit, and for being daddy to Baby Ink, the cutest little guy to join the blogosphere.
My Daley Rant: To Rick, for his non-stop funny, for writerly help, and for the zany kid stories he shares on his blog.
Way, way too cool! I love it. 🙂
Thanks! The blog's called Free the Princess though, dear Susan, not "Save the Princess."
I'm still appreciative!
Oh, and this will be tomorrow's post, btw.
Matthew – Good Lord in Heaven, what is wrong with me? At least I didn't try to spell your name, I probably would have messed that up too. You know I heart your blog, though, right? Right. I look forward to hearing about your Manly preferences in books, movies, etc!
Thanks, Susan — I am probably one of the few engineers out there who would injure himself rewiring something (and others, most likely 😉 — hence why I went the mechanical route.
Turning wrenches always seemed safer to me too. My adventurous hubby taught me the wiring trick when we were fixing up our first house together. Now, I know it's smarter to call the electrician!
Thanks Susan! I put the award up on my blog.
Though it's very sad you gave the award to Bane. I mean, he's a Lakers fan. You can't be manly and be a Lakers fan. I think that's a rule or something. Unless you're Jack Nicholson. He could cheer for the Pennsylvania Puffy Skirts and be manly.
Jack Nicholson must have taken Manly Pills as a child. I think if you sat next to him at a Lakers game, you'd have to fake it for a while.
I'm agnostic on basketball. I believe it's a sport, but I'm unwilling to take sides.
This coming from a Lebron bandwagoner — at least I grew up in Cali… where you from again, Snoopy?
Thanks Susan! Forgive me if I don't create a post announcing the award right away, I'll try to get to it this week…
Rick – posting is optional; the award is to let you know you're awesome.
Electrician Manly is the one trusted name and is renowned for its immediate response towards customer’s prerequisites.Thanks for sharing…….
