We're Award Whores!

We're not begging for votes.

We're not going to these other blogs and doing the "Vote for me and I'll vote for you" thing.

And we're not promising weed.

We're just too darn lazy to do those things.

We figured it'd be easier just to buy your votes.

Anyone that votes for us will get their name put in the hat for $100. (yogi gets his name in twice cause he nominated us, thanks yogi!)

We'll draw the name soon as the Blogger's Choice Awards are over.

NO OKIE BLOG AWARDS CEREMONY!

What the hell!
Okie said there's not going to be an awards ceremony!!

WHAT! We bought new dresses!

Where the hell am I suppose to wear this now?

You know how much this damn thing cost me on ebay?

Blogger Congeniality Award!

We want to give this Blogger Congeniality Award

We're giving it cause there's no way we'd ever win it.

The Blogger Congeniality Award goes to the most friendly, helpful, genuine and outgoing blogger in the Okie Blog Award contest.

We picked this blogger because she went to every Okie Blog Award nominee and left a comment congratulating them on being nominated.

And the winner is------------ *Georgie*

Now it's your turn to go leave her a comment.

Remember - Smilers wear a crown, losers wear a frown. (name that movie)

Checkin' You Out!

Okay, let's check out the competition:

Best Commentary:

Bounded Rationality - Jeff Shaw - I have lived in Tulsa nearly all my life. I spent the the 80's in New Mexico and Indiana. I love to read scientific studies, and economic papers (I don't know why). My favorite thing to do is to learn new things and play musical instruments. I am also fascinated with other cultures. I am a devoted family man, and believe that the family is the cornerstone of society.
Scientific studies, economic papers, good grammar and spellin', he writes real good....there goes the vote from all the smart people.

Brit Gal' in the USA - Sarah - British expat' who turned her life on its head when she fell for an Okie (the Hubster) in an online backgammon room! Went from stressed out, overworked and stuck in traffic...to chilled out, where's the traffic and look out for tornado's! Now living far, far off the beaten track in rural Oklahoma (Okieland) and loving life Y'ALL!
She's cute! She writes real good, she's funny, cute husband, wait...she has a cat, we're allergic to cats....there goes the vote from all the cat and cute people.

But I digress - Melessa - I'm a Sooner-born and Sooner-bred mommy of four and an MLS graduate with a degree in Museum Studies. I'm also a writer wanna-be. I love Star Wars, the Muppets, and Walt Disney World. I speak Italian and read Latin-they lied when they said "major in what you love and the money will follow." Either that or the money just gave me a really big head start.
She has a degree, we have degree deodorant. She speaks Italian and reads Latin, we can speak and read some. She's on baby #5, her laptop is down and she hasn't lost her mind...there goes the vote from all the smart strong sane women.

Mainstreet Baptist - Nuff said....there goes the church vote.

Multi-Slacking Mamalicious - I am an INTRAtainer. That means I can entertain myself inside my own mind. Kind of like INTRA-personal communication or the INTRA-net. It's internal. We'll talk more about this later.
How the hell...oops, sorry Mainstream Baptist...How the heck did this chick not get nominated for Best humour? She's funny...oh wait, she did get nominated for Best humour...there goes the vote from the funny haha people.

Okie Sister - This one is not fair..SHE'S OUR FRIEND! She links to us, she leaves us comments, she posts about us. She's our buddy, she's our pal, she'll totally understand if you wanna vote for us and not her. That's just the kinda gal she is...crap! there goes the vote from the kind and considerate people.

Oklahoma City Resturants - Well ain't that the friggin' butter on the biscuit! ..there goes the vote from everyone that eats!

Two- Headed Blog - 2006 and 2007 Okie Blog Winner for Best Commentary!....next!

Violins and Starships - a little bit 18th century, a little bit 24th century. This Blog has the following tags: Art, Books & Language, Culture and History, Science Fiction, Science, Nature, Tech...ya know what that means...there go the rest of the damn votes!...sorry Mainstream Baptist...darn, the darn votes.

Thank You Charla!

All Four One! And One Four All!

On our quest to find the best blogs to nominate for the "Okie Blog Awards" (we only have 468 blogs left to read) here are a few of the blogs that we all four can agree on liking.

Here they are: (no jen your not listed here, but your getting nomination)

The Crib Chick http://cribchick.blogspot.com/
Straight Shooter http://shootinstraight.blogspot.com/
A Shrewdness of Apes http://shrewdnessofapes.blogspot.com/

Dear Okie,
We just want you to know, this has not been easy. There's four of us and we don't always agree....hell we never agree. We should not have to just pick one blog for each category. We should be allowed to pick four blogs for each category.
*A blogger can only nominate one blog per category.*
A blogger...A blogger is one..we are four.

Not one damn joke about how our four brains make one good brain!

We may not get one of those Okie Blog Awards.
But we did get Quote of the Week over at wedontbuyit.blogspot.com

Here's our winning quote:
Ummm...uh...duh..four brains working as one and we can't think of none.
Well get back to you on this.
(Submitted by the 4 women of Idabel Oklahoma Thanks for the brain freeze you guys--very funny!)

We're thinkin' either all the other quotes got lost or she felt sorry for us. Either way.. we'll take it!
