This aint no foolin’ around
This is the JIB Awards. No. Not that thing on sailboats. JIB stands for Jewish Israeli Bloggers and Dave from the Israellycool blog has gone to much hard work and effort to set it up. Dave is A Very Serious Guy, thus I would urge you all to go and nominate your fave blogs. Now’s the part where I’m supposed to say something self-effacing and humble about how we’re not worthy and stuff. Luckily I don’t have to do that because we don’t qualify for the JIB Awards. That’s right. We don’t qualify. Why is that? Because we’re all really Mormons. Extremely bored Mormons. Jews are so much more interesting and colorful than Mormons and writing this blog sure helps those cold, lonely Utah nights pass faster. Hope you’re not too pissed at us. Shalom y’all!

Too late! Some poor soul already nominated you (for two categories, no less), and I am powerless to stop them.
Hmm..serious guy…doesn’t your cheek start to hurt after a while, I mean with your tongue being firmly pressed against it all the time?

The Muffti is mormon? Does that mean he can take many wives?

Are Jews really more interesting than Mormons? Is this even measurable?

Jews are decidedly more interesting than Mormons. And your, uh I mean our food is way tastier too!

I had to re-read your post after TMs last question CK, because on my first quick read, I thought you had said you were unqualified because you were all morons.
For some reason I just let it go by without even doing a double take. I feel awful now.

There’s another contest going on at the Best of Blogs awards, which honors smaller, non-political blogs. (blogmechanics....)
There’s a few Jews on the list, though I don’t know how many Mormons, sorry to say.
NextBook is up for Best Literary Blog, for example. And, ahem, your favorite whacky copy editor is currently in last place under Best Mommy Blog (www.inlandempress.com).
Though I suppose it’s an honor to have beaten out more than 200 other nominees to make the Top 10. Whatever.
There’s also no less than two guys named Levy under Best Daddy Blogs — one of whom happens to be my husband, at Dadtalk.net.
Not that I’m whoring for votes or anything. Okay, yes, I am.
Thanks.

Anne, you both have my vote…I liked your husband’s blog quite a bit. You make a good pair.

You mean, because we’re both in last place?
Kidding! Thanks for the kind words. I intend to vote for your blog on the JIB awards as many times as I can get away with it.

You’re both in last place and when I checked it was with precisely the same percentage of the vote.
Daahlink, you need to find more friends.
