Existential Space Wins Two WorldMagBlog Awards!!

Actually, I have TWO proud announcements to make. Both Rachel and I have won awards for our discussions this week on WORLD's selection for "Daniel of the Year".

In the category of Best WorldMagBlog comment ever on one of their blogs (under the UPDATE section), I WON with the following entry (comment #20; #4 and #26 are also mine):

"...I find that some grit-eating redneck looking down his nose at me from his isolated internet perch a tad bit ironic."

To his credit, my new friend, Neil, who I was addressing, re-read my comments and understood my point a little better (comment #34). We shook internet hands and called it quits. And just for the record, his email begins with "ilikegrits", so I didn't just pull that out of thin air. I don't share his culinary tastes, but I appreciate his spirit. Thanks, Neil!

And in the category of Best WorldMagBlog comment made on another site (found right here in the comment section on this site, Existential Space), Rachel won with the following entry:

"I've been reading WORLD lately too and have been disappointed over and over by its poor editorial taste and clumsy polemics. I'm sure your confusion over whether you were reading WORLD or the New York Times cleared when you remembered that NYT is generally very well-written."

For her efforts, the judges made the following award: "Rachel, you just won a years supply of élégant blogneuf unisex sweater vests, produced by our Blog9 Bangalore Ltd. subsidiary! Keep up the good work!"

I think I can speak for Rachel to say that we're both extremely proud for recognition of our hard work. Thanks to Enfant Terrible and all the judges at WORLD! Now what about my sweaters?
