A Call To Action!! Today! Right Now!

by Miss Britt on October 19, 2007

OK, that is just it. IT, I tell you! IT!

Something horrible is happening right now, right here on the Internet, and something absolutely MUST be done about it.

To be honest with you, I blame myself. I could have prevented this weeks ago. But I just couldn’t be bothered to clutter up my pretty blog with anything of substance. I could not be troubled with reaching out for the good of the entire blogosphere. Nay, the good of humanity.

I am ashamed.

But today I make things right!!

(and also start explaining what the fuck I’m talking about)

There’s a little contest. Maybe you’ve heard about it. It’s the Blogger’s Choice Awards.

Wait. No, you, get your ass back here. This is not about YOU and YOUR disdain for all things votey and awardy and popularity contesty. This, my friend, is about humanity. And possibly boobs.

ANYway, the hilarious and wonderful Mr. Fabulous has been nominated in the category of Best Humor Blog (sit. down! For fuck’s sake I am telling you there is MORE!)

A while ago, Fabby finally came out and admitted that he wanted to win. He laid it all out there. He shared with us his dreams. In a blogosphere that is quick to cut out your heart if you show too much of it - or dare to step away from the Too Cool For School Awards kids - this man humbled himself before us.

His story touched me in special places that are rarely touched more than 4-7 times a month.

And yet, I did nothing.

Honestly, I figured I wouldn’t have to. Someone else would save the whales recycle do my kid’s homework end prostitution pimp for the Fab-mister and spend their day registering multiple email addresses and voting. Someone else would take care of it. Fabby would win and finally have peace. In the end, good would prevail and I would be happy and un-inconvenienced.

But Fabby knew better. Mr. Fabulous knew that bloggers are inherently lazy selfish easily distracted busy people, and would therefore need some kind of bribery incentive to get of their butts and vote. And so he put his brilliance to good use and offered a pimping contest.

Ah! At last! A chance at an OhMiBod and one intimate night with Prince! Surely this will motivate me to Do Something!

But alas, no. Even then I did not take action because it wasn’t my brother going to war my tax refund was actually pretty big last year I wasn’t using my civil liberties anyway I just had other things to do man, back up off me!

But now. Now I can take no more.

Now, I fear, someone may actually be cheating Mr. Fabby out of his happiness. And that just can’t happen. (Oh yeah, I fucking said it. You came from 8 votes to top 3 in 12 hours fairly my aching ASS! Bring it.)

So. Now I come to you, dear Internet. You simply must, must dedicate at least 15 minutes of your day today to go click on the damned link, register your email address, confirm, blah blah blah - and Vote. For Mr. Fab (aka Pointless-Drivel).

This cannot wait until tomorrow. Today, Friday, October whatthehellever-eth, is the absolute last day to vote.

What happens if you, like me, sit idely by and watch this man’s dreams die?

Why should YOU care?

1. Dooce could win. And dude, that chic has won enough fucking shit. And she cannot love you like the Fab Boy can love you. Plus she sucks and is not funny and likes to be mean to sites that are mean to her. OK? (yeah, I said it. Bring it.)

2. OK, the other possiblity is Crystal of the Boobies and she is hysterical. Really, really hysterical. And very much deserves good things as well. But she kind of already got to go to something for free recently (BlogHer) and Mr. Fab has not had such honor (and still won’t go free) and he really, really, really, really wants this. And wasn’t afraid to say it. Which I seriously and truly admire. (You know I love you Crystal baby, but this is for HUMANITY!!!)

3. If Fab wins, he is going to buy us all beer. Even you.

4. If Fab wins, the war in Iraq will magically end, bringing all the troops home and leaving a stable Iraq. In other words, if Fab wins, we all win! And they’ll have to talk about something else for the election!

So go on. Please. I am begging you here. I’m on my kneeeeees for Fabby.

I am not going to lie and tell you it will be easy. You’ll need to register. But I have like 400 readers. And if all of you would go and register just ONE email address today, we really could, together, make a difference. This here blog could change the WORLD. And YOU can be part of it.

And all you need to do is…

Click. Here. And VOTE!

.

(plus, I could totally win an OhMiBod, and you know that would be blogging GOLD!)

    i promise i will vote.

    but try not to tell folks that you are on your knees. coz most of your readers are pervs like me and are gonna comment along the lines of “while you are down there” which i don’t wanna read today.

    p.s. i like dooce. don’t want her to win, but i like her blog. someone needs to explain the hate for her sometime. regardless, i’ll vote for fabby.

  2. hellohahanarf October 19, 2007 10:42 am

  3. avitable October 19, 2007 10:47 am

    Like you’d use an OhMiBod if you had one, you anti-onanism judgy fucker.

  4. y not i October 19, 2007 11:05 am

    Done!!

    Oh, and I threw a vote your way while I was out there as well. :wink:

    Now to spend the rest of my day creating dummy e-mail addresses so I can vote again…and again….and again…

  5. AmyD October 19, 2007 11:08 am

    The shit I do for you. :nana:

  6. debkitty October 19, 2007 11:50 am

    Wow I thought it was bad enough when you whored yourself out, now you are whoring out others….does that make you a pimp???? do you get 90% and he gets 10%??? do tell! :clap:

  7. Fogspinner October 19, 2007 12:03 pm

    I one up your Best humor blog and voted Best Blog of all time too. :-P

  8. Lynda October 19, 2007 12:07 pm

    I voted for him in May. :angel:

  9. Miss Britt October 19, 2007 12:08 pm

    hello: thank you for voting. He has to at least be top three!!!

    avitable: this is sooo not about me. Fucker.

    y not i: thank you, thank you - you are awesome!

    AmyD: and I love you for it too!

    debkitty: no, no cut.

    But the alternative is living with the knowledge that he has already BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE AWARD CEREMONY IN VEGAS.

    And going not knowing if he’s won is one thing.

    But the idea of him flying all the way out there for that conference KNOWING he is only fourth just breaks my little heart.

    Seriously.

    Fogspinner: you double rock. :-)

  10. DeannaBanana October 19, 2007 12:08 pm

    While you are there, go vote avitable for freakiest blogger too, dammit!

  11. Mom October 19, 2007 12:24 pm

    I voted.

    Are you serious? Award ceremonies? Is this some wry humor that I am too tired aka not-in-the-loop to get?

    Hmmmmm.

    Off to crochet some doilies. Or hemp bags. Or something.

    Love you

  12. Poppy October 19, 2007 12:41 pm

  13. NotaGranny October 19, 2007 12:53 pm

  17. Tug October 19, 2007 1:44 pm

    Fab is such a pimp, with all of us doing his bidding. I am SO finding a purple velvet hat (ala Kramer) for him someday.

  18. Victoria October 19, 2007 2:13 pm

    Okay, but only if you go to this site and vote for my sister in law Kim Klein’s blog. She’s a mother of three going to law school while kicking breast cancer’s ass. She is up for a $10,000.00 scholarship. It is easy to vote, just click on the radio button by her name then submit.
    http://www.collegescholarships.org/blog/2007/10/08/vote-for-the-winner-of-the-2007-blogging-scholarship/

    Purdy please and thank you!

  19. Balls October 19, 2007 3:50 pm

    I’ll totally vote for that bald sexy bastard.

  20. Janelle October 19, 2007 4:10 pm

    Ok Britt, for you I did it!! It wasn’t that hard…hope he wins!! :thumbsup:

  21. Nerts October 19, 2007 4:20 pm

    I voted too!

  22. Miss Britt October 19, 2007 4:20 pm

    DeannaBanana: you just made that up, didn’t you?

    Mom: and after hearing my heartfelt explanation over the phone, you’re glad you did, aren’t you?

    Poppy: as long as he’s still not in the top three…. No. :D

    NotaGranny: I don’t want an unhappy Fab GOING to Vegas! If he’s not top three there isn’t even any MYSTERY!

    hellohahanarf: shhhhh… so did I.

    oh, and clearly, I am deluding you all. LOL

    AmyD: like ROPE Amy. Jeeez

    Tug: I know, but my heart actually feels for him this time. Which is probably all part of his devious plan, the fucker.

    Victoria: thanks for the link, on my way over

    Balls I knew it!!!!

    Janelle: thank you very much! :-)

  23. Tug October 19, 2007 4:34 pm

    Yeah, me too. I just think he’s one of the few in the blogosphere that could get away with wearing a purple velvet hat - and I’d insist on pictures of course.

  24. Kelly October 19, 2007 5:32 pm

    Um… you said something about there possibly being boobs?

  25. Mr. Fabulous October 19, 2007 6:12 pm

    Wow…

    You know what…if you don’t win the pimping contest…I may just buy you an ohmibod anyway.

    This may be the greatest pimping post ever.

    I am so turned on right now.

  26. Open Grove Claudia October 19, 2007 7:38 pm

    I hope Fabbie appreciates your support - this was really nice.

  27. Kelly October 19, 2007 9:55 pm

    OK, I voted. Now bring on the boobs.

  28. AmyD October 19, 2007 11:15 pm

    Pfft. I know there are OTHER uses for hemp, Britt. Dayummmm, girlfriend!

  29. HoosierGirl5 October 20, 2007 8:13 am

    Okay, I voted. Just because you said please. You did say please, didn’t you?
    Damn it, now I have to scroll back up and look….Hang on a sec.

    So go on. Please. I am begging you here. I’m on my kneeeeees for Fabby.

    Okay, you DID say please. You can go on about your business now.
    Have a lovely Saturday. :D
    J.

  30. The Absurdist October 20, 2007 8:33 am

    Done. Sorry I didn’t get it done yesterday…

  31. Miss Britt October 21, 2007 9:20 am

    Tug: LOL, pictures of course!

    Kelly: you have to BUHLEAVE in the possibilities…

    Mr. Fab: well, some people just deserve awesomeness Fabby. :D

    Open Grove Claudia: well thanks, and I’m sure he does.

    Kelly: possibly.

    AmyD: :evil:

    HoosierGirl5: thank goodness for my manners!

    The Absurdist: is OK, thanks for trying :D

  32. DutchBitch October 22, 2007 7:21 am
