It\u2019s an annual tradition here on The Crescat, five years in the making, where I celebrate being completely under appreciated and snubbed in favor of that dude, what\u2019s his name, Peters-something-or-another. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a Blog Award for all us under appreciated types, and you are strictly forbidden from nominating anyone that has written a book\u2026 and that Peters guy. And fanciful cooking bird watching priests. And anybody else who has a blog better than me. So good luck with that. <\/p>\n Updated 9\/2\/11: Nominations are now closed!<\/span><\/p>\n The categories are<\/span>: <\/p>\n Best Blog By A Religious<\/span> Best Political Blog<\/span> More Catholic Than The Pope<\/span> Best Armchair Theologian<\/span> Best Visual Treat<\/span> Most Church Militant<\/span> Best New Kid on The Block<\/span> Best Blog By A Heretic<\/span> Best Under Appreciated Blog<\/span> Best Spiritual Treat<\/span> Best Bat Shit Crazy<\/span> Best Potpourri of Popery<\/span> Snarkiest Catholic Blog<\/span> Most Hifreakinlarious<\/span> Best Blog That Needs to be Updated More Often<\/span> *Rules, disclaimers, fine print and legalese: When making nominations please indicate category, blog name and include blog link<\/span>. If you don\u2019t, I will not mark the nomination. Please do not email me nominations. Leave them in the comment box. In the past, I have excepted email nominations but it got too damn confusing. Also, try to avoid duplicate nominations. If you see some one already made the nomination you intended; spare us. <\/p>\n If you were nominated but wish to disassociate yourself as far away from me as possible, email me at the_crescat@yahoo.com. I will understand perfectly. <\/p>\n Nominees and winners of the 2011 Catholic Cannonball Awards\u2122\u00a9 receive no prizes, just the sweet sweet satisfaction that they were only slightly better than no one else really all that special. They reserve bragging rights and the distinction of being fantastical ordinary! Yay! You\u2019re an awesome average blogger. Enjoy your victory. <\/p>\n Voting will begin in a special poll on September 17, 2011. Remember, do NOT<\/span> leave your votes in this comment box.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026 to commemorate another year of multiple nominations in a new media award event where I don\u2019t stand a snow ball\u2019s chance in hell of winning, I would like to announce the annual\u2026 2011 CANNONBALL CATHOLIC BLOG AWARDS\u2122\u00a9! ta da.
