It's time for the annual awards!

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.
