Grand Announcement of a Meaningless Award
OK, I’m going to try this again, just for the hell of it, and if it doesn’t go over well this time either, I’ll throw it in the trash heap.
If I like one of your short posts an extra lot, I’ll give you this bullshit award:
Beef-a-Brac is, by definition, “Small, usually ornamental blog entries valued for their antiquity, rarity, originality, or sentimental associations.”
There’s only one thing you have to do to qualify: You hafta display user photos next to comments in your blog.
FAQs
All of of your own posts 100% pure Beef-a-Brac quality?
Hell no.
Why?
For the fun of it. To do my part to encourage great blog writing. To subvert Xanga and have a way to give more than 2 eProps. Because I’m a blowhard; I dunno.

Neat idea. Mostly, though, I’m curious as to why you revised the initial announcement.
Just didn’t seem to go over too well the first time. I’d be content putting the idea to bed, without taking it personally, but I just wanted to take another stab at putting it in the proper light.
I like this idea, and I like that Elvis Costello record a lot these days. The man is quite a character.
