Weblog finalist 06.jpg

Bill, a reader who lives in Florida and who never misses an opportunity to send me news stories about people being eaten by alligators, sent me an e-mail informing me that I am a finalist for one of this year’s Weblog Awards. I thought he was pulling my leg, but it turns out he that he wasn’t.

Yo, Jimbo, what’s da category? “Best Farookin’ Hair”? No; there is no such category, which is too bad because that would be a cake walk, and it would easy to explain to the non-blognoscenti. The category in which Parkway Rest Stop is a finalist is “Best of the Top 1751 – 2500 Blogs”, which is based on the blog’s ranking in The Truth Laid Bard Ecosystem. Quite a mouthful, that, no?.

Anyway, voting is scheduled to commence some time today, and it will last for ten days. You can vote once every twenty-four hours. Kindly do so. Oh, and you’ll have to scroll down close to the bottom of the categories to find me; pretty much where you would expect to find the nominees for dog catcher in a real election.

Yo, Jimbo! What’s an election without some slogans? I’ve been giving it some thought:

VOTE FOR JIMBO! HE DOES LAUNDRY!

VOTE FOR JIMBO! HE WON’T RAISE YOUR TAXES!

VOTE FOR JIMBO! HE ALWAYS BRINGS PLENTY OF LIQUOR TO THE PARTY!

So, there you have it. Vote early, and vote every farookin’ day. Make it a part of your morning ritual: shit, shower, shave, vote for Jimbo. Simple.

NOTE: It didn’t take much sleuthing to discover that I was nominated by Sgt. Hook and endorsed by Blackfive, two nice guys and two of the best military bloggers in the ‘sphere, which in my mind, makes me a winner already. Thank you, gentlemen.

UPDATE: You can go directly where I am listed by clicking here. The main voting page for all categories is here.
