It's time for the annual awards!

[davywavy]

A little over a year ago, I introduced the inaugural davywavy Livejournal awards. Awarded to people who’s LJ’s I like. Or dislike. Or just wanted to talk about for no apparent reason. The awards were a massive success with a hugely popular ceremony and dinner attended by many of the great and good and a global television audience of billions. Naturally the immense advertising revenues meant that I fancied another go at this, and so, without further ado, might I announce the 2004 davywavy Livejournal awards.

There are only five rules for the awards, these being:
1) Friends only journals are ineligible
2) Previous winners are ineligible to win again.
3) I can ignore the above rules and give awards to anyone I like if I feel like it.
4) Winners are obligated to buy me a drink.
5) No more than three winners to any one award.

Category 1
The “Wom Wom Wom enormous pulsating brain” award for cleverest poster.

Shared jointly by:
cryx, whose enormous pulsating brain inspired the phrase ‘Wom Wom Wom’ in the first place.
stickette, who just writes all clever, like.
puddingcat, who one of these days will believe me when I tell her how clever she is.

[Edit]:This just in...*cough, wheeze*...bear with me ladies and gentlemen, stop the presses...the academy has awarded sesquipedality a special award for 'extreme cleverness' in this category. We apologise for this important break in your regular viewing.


Category 2
The “Almost as good as me” award for best written Journal

Shared jointly by:
wicked_wish, who writes with tremendous energy, and seems a fixture on lists like this.
nebuchanezzer who can write about emotions and gooshy stuff like that without me having to look away in embarrassment.
kormantic, who I’m just really impressed by.


Category 3
The “J.D. Salinger” award for author who writes really well but just doesn’t seem to really post any more.

Shared jointly by:
mamahooch, who is bloody funny. When she posts.
atrophy_angel, who is a great writer. When she posts.
sherbetsaucers, who…oh, you get the idea.


Category 4
The “Robin Williams before he stopped taking cocaine” award for funniest poster.

Nothing like a little spirited debate to brighten my day. *grins* You do know I only _have_ an LJ to comment-whore with? It means I have something to do at work, at least...

So... what do you drink, and are you coming to our house re-heating? (this is, of course, an open invitation which includes you and anyone else you feel like dragging along... :P)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I hope to come to your evil party, and will probablky do so. Just clashes with the eddy and michelle visit and I'm still not sure what their plans are.

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

Ooooh...thank you! I feel all special now!

*radiates smugness*

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I should do a logo for people to post onto their journals...

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I am famous!

or something

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Something, buster.

[sherbetsaucers.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, if I want a chance at that award next year I better stop posting as frequently as I'm begining to.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Look, buster, you're the one who has hardly posted recently. You won a much more prestigious one last year, remember?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

What, no "Raves about music I've never heard of" award for me? ;o)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I should ahve thought of that, shouldn't I?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

You're on.

[onyxtears.livejournal.com]

Wow, may have to start a new LJ or revamp the old one, in an attempt to win an award next time.

I will call it "givemeanawardpleasedavywavy" maybe that is too long.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I'd award it just for the name :)

[vulgarcriminal.livejournal.com]

Yay! *also radiating smugness* :D

Some people would just call it being self obsessed ;)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

But you provoke thought as well as give it, which I like.

[eddyfate.livejournal.com]

Sweet!

This is my second award, isn't it?

I'd like to thank the academy (davywavy), the fans (davywavy), and, of course, davywavy.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

You forgot to thank davywavy!

[the-mendicant.livejournal.com]

Given that Robin is mostly 'taking' me, I'd object strongly if he stopped :P

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

*grin*

[cryx]

i inspired a phrase??!! Cool!!


*beams*

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Wom Wom Wom.

[sesquipedality.livejournal.com]

I'm somewhat hurt to not have won the cleverest poster award. Am I really that much of an accessory in your life that I'm not even worth a mention?

Apologies for the sense of humour failure.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Ah, but if you look now...

I feel special, do I get my own bus?

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

Its not my fault, they all started it by being muppets at me ;-)

Re: I feel special, do I get my own bus?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Would you want that bus to run them down in? I know you, you know.

[taimatsu]

Damn, I haven't known you long enough.

(Note to self: buy davywavy many drinks this time next year.)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Dammit, that's a poitn - I forgot the 'best new poster' category for people who've got onto my friends list within the last 12 months.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

I'd like to thank my mum, the aliens that abducted me and that 8 kilo bag of sugar I snorted.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Can I assume that aliens abducted you *after* the suar?

[ex-boog351.livejournal.com]

Cor blimey, I won something.

Just so ye all know, I'll be back next year t'defend me title. Shiver me Timbers!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Nah, you'll have been made to walk the plank by then.

Category 9
The “O.O” Award for TMI stuff that I really didn’t want to read over my cornflakes.

faerierhona She’d be disappointed if she didn’t win, you know.

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

not only that - but there's SO little TMI in there!

[wendy-lady.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, not on the list this year. Whatever, I just know it is because you don't love me!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

You hardly ever post!

Now, if I was doing a 'hottest girls on LJ' award, then we'd be talking...

[stickette.livejournal.com]

Beams! In honour of the award I have found myself a new icon! Is this really just a scam to get people to buy you drinks? You only had to say...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Normally when I pimp for free drinks my friends point out just how many I owe them, so I'm just having to get more imaginative in how I get free booze :)

Late post

[ukporl.livejournal.com]

Apologies for this, lack of net access has caused me to be unable to allow the gentleman's beverage to eject forcefully from your orifice.

Actually that reminds me of this other time when...

Re: Late post

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, that's just right out of order.
