I Kick Ass and The World Finally Knows It

There’s nothing like coming off a mishap filled week like last week to find that you’ve been awarded the Kick Ass Blogger award by not one, but TWO bloggers whom you admire to boost your spirits.  Well, there is, but I didn’t come home to find Christian Bale naked in my bed so I’ll take what I can get.  Hint to the blogosphere:  if I ever get another blogging award, please make sure it includes Christian Bale naked in my bed.  Or at least in his Batman costume.  That man certainly can fill out the Kevlar, no?  Oh, and I’d appreciate it if Mr. Dingo is on a business trip at the time.  So, thank you Ms. Catalysta and Dirty Laundry Diva for the awards.  It made my week.  Mr. Dingo suggested that I should contact one of you and give you the option to bestow the award on someone else.  I was like, “Screw dat! Dat bitch is mines!” It is no coincidence that I also say that to all the johnny-come-lately Christian Bale fans. 

I love blogging so this award really does mean a lot to me.  I’m going to have my tech person, Mr. Dingo, set up an awards page so that you can go visit my award any time you want and longingly caress the screen.  I’ve met some great bloggers online and even one in person (hey, when are all the New York Bloggers going to have a meet-up?).  Y’all have been with me through thick and hope-to-soon-be -thin, zombie invasions, mosquito infestations, and student cluelessness.  Thank you so much. 

This is probably a good time to open up the blog for questions.  No, not your questions.  My questions.  Day-um, y’all!  Dingo can’t just give her life info away.  She has to remain a woman of mystery and keep stringing you along so that six, seven, or twenty years from now you are still reading just to find out what makes Dingo tick. 

Here are some questions I have for you:

• Why does butter taste so good?  I am not a discriminating butter fan.  I just love butta!  From Land O’ Lakes to Mrs. Butterworth, I love butta!  But some people, people who like to ruin all my fun, insist that asking for a double dose of movie popcorn butter is going to be the death of me.  To that I say, if you think that is going to be the death of me, then you haven’t seen me drive.  So, really, if it’s so bad for you, why does butter taste so good? 

• Why do women with really bad weaves insist on wearing their hair in ponytails? Isn’t the point of a weave to fool people into thinking that you look more like Faith Hill rather than Chucky?  If your weave is pulled into a tight ponytail I can see where your fake hair connects with your gnarly scalp.  You aren’t fooling anyone. 

• Is the gas crisis causing cutbacks in soap production?  As far as I know gas and soap are unrelated.  In fact, there is no reason that rising gas prices should effect my fellow subway riders.  I know that gas prices are high but are we reduced to making choices between soap and filling up our gas tanks?  Shouldn’t taking the subway mean that people are actually saving money?  Rising gas prices and rising temperatures do not mix.  It’s like oil and water.  Paris and Nicole.  McCain and the White House.  Jack Daniels and Coke.  Oh, wait.  I like that last combo.  I’m wondering if it’s only the people who used to drive but now take the subway that just stink.  You tell me.  Have you cut back on buying soap?

• Why do people who tie their dogs up outside of Starbucks get upset when I pop into the coffee shop and say, “Is someone in here the irresponsible and neglectful owner of the dog that is tied up outside in the heat/cold/rain and susceptible to any crazy person or vicious dog that walks by?” I mean, I’m just checking.  I want to make sure the dog is not abandoned.  That’s a good thing, right?

So, those are my questions for you, dear readers.  I’m going to go bask in my Kick Ass Blogginess now but before I do I need to choose five bloggers to receive this award.  Here are da’ rules:

• From your list of hundreds in your reader somehow choose five other bloggers that you feel are “Kick Ass Bloggers”. 
• Let ‘em know via : - your post. b) an email c) Twitter d) blog comments … that they have received an award.
• Link back to the person that awarded you (ME!) and also www.mammadawg.com.
• Visit the Kick Ass Blogger Club HQ, to get codes, sign Mr. Linky then pass it on!

I know some people have already received this award so I’m going to spread the love and give it to people that haven’t gotten it yet – or if they have, they are slackers and haven’t posted about it.  Soooo, without further ado, Mrs. Chili at The Blue Door, Lara at Red, Red, Whine, Crissy at Crissy’s Page, Meg at Golightly, and (Day-um!! Only five?) Mel Heth at Life According to Mel Heth, come on down!  You are all Kick Ass Bloggers.
