Your Monday Panzerism

 Panzer on fun outdoor activities:
Today, I was trying to play with one of the Koi fish in the pond.
When What's His Name saw what I was doing, he came running and yelling and waving his arms at me.
Those rocks at the edge of the pond sure are slippery.
And ...
One of those slippery rocks just reached right up and tripped What's His Name.
He sort of ...
Well ...
Kind of ...
He was flapping his arms like he could fly.*
You know ... Fell into the water. But not all the way ...
 Just up to his ears.

Let's Hear It for the Edgars! - The Rap Sheet

No. I was not nominated again.
Today as Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, he heard clapping and cheering outside the Panzermobile. Following all the hoopla, took our inquisitive kitty boy to The Rap Sheet site. There he found a post about the Edgar Awards. The Edgars are given each year by the Mystery Writers of America (MWA).
 J. Kingston Pierce's post lists all 13 of the award winners and the nominees. To save you time we won't repeat them here, because there's also a link included in the post to watch the ceremony on YouTube.
 Panzer says, "Be prepared. The ceremony is two hours long. Bring something to eat and drink while you watch it."
