Well, there will be no living with me now. I won. A Hoagie. I won a Hoagie. More specifically, I won the "Cleverest Commenter" Hoagie. 2006. There are so many people I need to thank. I need to thank Heather Anne, without whom none of this would have been possible. I also want to thank my beautiful wife Susan for sticking with me during the tough times getting here. We did it, babe! Of course I should thank Allah or Jesus or Buddha. I'm not sure which of you guys, if any, came through for me, but thanks for maybe being there. And last, but certainly not least, the fans. I could never personally and individually thank the millions and millions of people who come to this blog every day, though I'd like to. Nevertheless, I am eternally grateful to all of you and I love each of you individually in special and oddly specific ways.
I have the perfect place to display the Hoagie when it arrives. Susan thought it was a waste of money but, when I started blogging, I hired a team of contractors to hew out a 75,000 cubic foot Hall of Accolades chamber in the limestone 500 feet under my house. I had a feeling awards would start pouring in and I wanted a place where they could be displayed and protected. This weekend I'm going to fire up the elevator for the first time and go down and sweep up the place in preparation for that golden turkey. I know it's just the first of many. I wonder if I should expand the Hall of Accolades? Hmmm...
Hello, friends. Tell me about your secret, hidden chambers.
Later. Love.
P. S. - Wendy (a.k.a. The Psycho Therapist) left a comment at 14:12 CST on yesterday's post. It was an historic comment. It said, "Balloons." Why is this historic? Because it was the 4000th comment on this manifestation of Caveat Emptor. As is our corporate policy here at Caveat Emptor, this entitles Wendy to a $20 gift certificate to the online purveyor of her choice (Amazon, iTunes, NaziOutfitters, etc...). Congratulations, Wendy! Let us know what purveyor you prefer. Thanks for stopping by.
