PRIZES FOR ALL

It’s the Australian Blog Awards! I’m nominating Robert Corr's new site, Chicken Scream, in all appropriate categories, except in those cases where I’ll nominate those two wacky web wildmen Gary Sauer-Thompson (“what drops out of sight is the need to develop a sustainable and socially responsible energy industry”) and Christopher Sheil (“this is the time when we characteristically look backward and forward, reflecting on the year that was and anticipating the one about to be”). Maybe Tim Dunlop deserves a prize, too. Hit the link and vote, vote, vote!

I disagree Tim, Robert Corr has Best Humourous Australian Blog and he does it without drugs. I considered Niall but he's not "Humourous" just a bad joke.

I'm going for 'the daily diatribe' in the humour ctaegory. The posts there make my day

For the sake of Jeebus don't nominate me- all the others are such tools; it would be like having a fistfight with Quentin the Channel 9 mutant.

Not too familiar with "Kick and Scream", though it does provide rich ground for mockery such as "Chicken Scream". Not bad Tim, but I think "Childish Tantrum" works better.

I wonder if the change of name from "Mentalspace" means the penny dropped that this was not a particularly flattering self description.

Am I allowed to bribe others? I'm quite prepared to, you know...

Come on, Tim, lift your game: "Chicken Screed" is much better.

Nah, sorry Robert, Chicken Scream is the winner.

Damn! Never heard a chicken scream. Don't think I want to either.

It's their last utterance before doing the headless two-step. Yep, suits Rob.
