the ultimate acceptance speech (Lynn Lamousin [aka Kittyboy] named 'best blogger, 2010')

It’s a Major Award!
I just learned I’ve been named “Best Blogger, 2010” by the readers of skirt.com.
I am humbled at the trust you have put in me, and as best blogger I promise to cut wasteful words, present fair and balanced blogs, and budget my posts about online dating.
As I stand on this podium, with this medal around my neck and the national anthem of my country playing over the loudspeakers, I can’t help but be deeply touched. And let me take this moment to assure you that every blog I posted was executed through my own natural abilities and I am 100% steroid free (no matter what that last drug test indicated).
I couldn’t accept this award without giving a shout out to skirtySteph who gave me my break in the business, and to best blogger runner-up Tonilyn who I am humbled to be considered in the same category as.
Tonilyn, I hope you understand that if I cannot fulfill my duties the crown will pass to you and you'll have to ride on the parade floats. (Note to self: burn negatives of poorly lit nudie pics from college.)
I also want to acknowledge every blogger here at skirt.com for all their support throughout the year. I encourage everyone reading this post to check out the other fabulous writers on the site.
I see that I’m getting the signal to wrap this up, so in closing let me say THANK YOU to the people who voted for me and I also want to thank everyone who took a moment to read even a single word I wrote.

"Kittyboy, I'm happy for you, but Beyonce has the best blog of the year!"

The record for the longest Oscar acceptance speech is still held by Greer Garson, accepting the Best Actress award for "Mrs. Miniver" in 1943. "I'm practically unprepared," Garson began. The speech clocked in at seven minutes. Garson never won an Oscar again...
