On Being A Winner

Remember the David Gemmell award I talked about waaaaaay back in May?


You don’t? It’s the UK based contest. The one where I did a promotional interview after drinking too much coffee and talked about how I wanted to be Spider-Man?


Yeah. That contest. The one where the award they give out is an actual axe.


I won:



I have to say that I really approve of this trend. In the future, all awards I get should be weapons. Or a bejeweled crown. Or some manner of scepter that I can use to lord my awesomeness...

El Guapo Yeah. That thing looks spectacular. I want one. I'd use it for everything around the house. Spread peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, break down my recycling boxes, use as a door jam or window lever, so on & so forth! CONGRATS on your award!
