NOMINAL NON-NOMINATION
The Hatemonger's Quarterly was not nominated for the 2004 Weblog Awards. But they've learned a valuable lesson: whining
Sure, we may be shunned by fancy “Weblog Awards.” Sure, we may not even be nominated for such coveted prizes. Sure, we may be as popular as Denny Terrio, whilom host of “Dance Fever.” Sure, we may be as big as Danny Devito. Sure, we may…just makes them feel bad. Plus, it prompts all manner of "constructive criticism" that must then be debunked ("'trackback' sounds to us like a crappy techno band."). The HQ gang finds elitism much more satisfactory:
Hold on a second, dear reader: Somewhere in the midst of that last paragraph we lost our train of thought. Oh yeah, we remember what we wanted to say: We suck.
“The Hatemonger’s Quarterly” is the Lamborghini of “weblogs.” It’s the beluga caviar of the Internet. It’s the kind of “website” men want to be, and women want to be with.Maybe so. However, Spitbull (a co-non-nominee, we've discovered) believes the best course of action is to sulk in silent bitterness. Starting now.
