When Snarks Attack: 4

Well, I’ve finally gotten around to the 4th edition of my world famous Snark of the Week, golden FLOTUS nominations. I knew the last several weeks were going to be hectic, but I didn’t expect to have so little time to tend to my Snarks. Anyway, I guess you know we got bumped to commercial for the trip back to Big White. At least we got exit row seats. I got a center seat and Raj got the window. He likes to look out the window and calculate our altitude and routing at regular intervals to make sure the pilots are on track. I trans-imaged myself with a hologram from my hard drive into Lady M with that look. You know which one I’m talking about, the one in the video at the top of my blog. Nobody sat in the isle seat next to me. I promise I’ll never again use my powers for evil or self-gain -unless I get bumped to commercial again.

Anyway, Raj and I were able to work undisturbed all the way back to Big White. Now that we’ve transferred to Marine Chopper Won I have WIFI so we can post this.

My big fun idea to get you guys in on the nominating paid off big time. If by “paid off big time” you mean (and I do):

  1. Nobody coming to my blog is a liberal who thinks everybody is a winner, and
  2. We scored big time on the “will pay cash money for one of them Golden FLOTUS thingies (and boy, oh, boy: do we need the money for the Lady M Fund for Massachusetts Voters with Severe Ballot Error Disorders, and
  3. There was unanimous consent on the nomination. Unless you think “I CAN'T FIND ME. aND i TRIED SOO HARD. mOTUS? mOTUS??” was a nomination.

I was surprised that there weren’t more nominations, there were certainly a lot of good snarks. Maybe bettyann knows Chicago rules better than I thought. Or, maybe I got the rules for nominating a little wee weed up. I have caught myself thinking that Gibbsy is making sense a few times lately. But that’s in the past as my upgrades have my lenses focusing like a laser. Anyway, nobody deserves this nomination more than bettyann. So, without further adieu here are your nominees for the Snark of the Week 4:

Nominees For The Period

December 27, 2009 – January 16, 2010)

1. From No Good Crisis Goes to Waste:

MOTUS, what the hell is that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade float doing in there, dressed up like Janet?

2. From Harsh Stares All Around: Take That Jihadists

MOTUS, her boobs! They fell down into her pants!

Ok, technically “bettyann number 2” wasn’t nominated in the standard nominating process. But Raj was so proud and honored that bettyann successfully used his “Raj’s Reliable Tutorials” to develop her new nerd magic to embed links that he begged me to add it. And, well, Team Obama does take care of its friends, and Raj has been such a mensch, so bettyann’s in twice. And I think she deserves them both.

So lets get out there and vote! Polls will remain open until 11:59PM Saturday February 6, 2010 and Chicago rules are back in effect. Good luck bettyann!

We’re landing Marine Chopper Won now so I’d better post this. Bye.

PS should Raj and I ever be foolish enough to host another snark contest, we’ll paste it the top of the blog as Gerard VDL suggested.

  2. BTW, Motus - it seems Flotus has retired her
    trademark belts.

    I have really paid a lot of attention and I
    have not seen anyone copying her "STYLE" not
    only among 'whities', but also NONE among the AAs either...
    either....

  3. Breeze,
    Heh. Some people around here (I can't mention who) are joking that Big Guy wasn't bowing, it's just that sometimes his spine fails him.

    I'm hoping you're right about the BB's. But MO still thinks they look hot. I'm working on a "repurposing" campaign for them. Any ideas?

  4. MOTUS ~

    I have a great repurposing campaign for the ammo and S&M belts! You could start an organization similar to this one:
    http://www.brarecycling.org/

    What is the The Bra Recyclers® all about? We are a textile recycling company, specializing in recycling bras & providing deserving women in our communities who are facing challenges with a basic lingerie staple.

    We are creating awareness about delaying the number of re-usable textiles, such as bras that are unnecessarily being sent to landfills & could be used for women & girls in our communities who are experiencing challenges in their lives.

    We are using simple encouragements to develop, blossom, & renew positive attitudes & self-esteem.
    What Types of Bras Are Needed?
    Bras in good condition, clasps and straps need to be functional.
    All sizes and styles of bras, especially larger-sized bras (38 and up).
    Special needs bras, post breast surgery & maternity bras.

    Now I'm not sure what repurposed boob belts would have to do with helping women's self esteem, but maybe they could be used to make "pretend" boobs like MO uses them.

    I also thought maybe MO could advocate for this charity by being the first to send her (OBVIOUSLY UNDERUSED if you look at recent photos) itty-bitty training bras to this organization! She could fight loose knockers like she's fighting childhood obesity! Think what this could do for her image!

    And it actually is a real organization ~ I sent my bras off today and linked to them on my FB page. Feel free to share ~ I think it's a great cause.

    Bettyann ~ WTG WOMAN!

  6. MOTUS,
    You know you're such a sweetie to go back and respond to all our comments. How many award winning bloggers, other than yourself, take the time to keep in touch with their "peeps"? Not many. We luvs ya!

    Breeze,
    Do you think the constant derision about the boob belts may have made its way to MO's ears. If so, all I can say is; "Darn!". Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

  7. MOTUS, Raj, I...I...I....I...Can't think of what to say! Except that I can't possibly deserve the award but I'll take it, and have long coveted the coveted Snark Award! And I shall cherish, if I win, this award, and pin it up on my facebook, and with it I shall attempt to continue to snark my way into the hearts of my fellow snarkers. I promise to promote snarkisms, reveal smarmy details whenever I know them and make them up if I don't plus embellish whenever possible. I promise, if I win, to pass this award on to my children, even my children's children, in order that they may know, that in an age when the media refused to properly snark, MOTUS, a true American Heroe, encouraged snarking in all corners, snarking behind hands, and snarking right in front of God and everybody. And gave me an award for doing it, to.

    "sigh"

    (Count: 14 "I's", 6 "my"/"me's", 152 words, 6 lines. he he he he. And I wasn't even born a poor black child).

  10. Congratulations bettyann! Her Royal Snarkness, indeed! I did vote for you 4 times...just this week. You deserve it!

  11. Funky,
    Bra Recyclers! Who knew? No doubt a non-profit tax exempt 501(c) organization that pays its administrator a fair salary. I'll see if I can get Lady M to donate some of her trainees.

    Cinder,
    You make me blush. Without you I'm just another blogger in the night.

    bettyann,
    I was afraid you'd run off on a road trip with Big Harley.

    Your nomination acceptance speech proves you worthy of the honor. Although I would have liked to see a few more "I's".

    MadameD,
    I'm always delighted to see someone embrace our time honored Chicago rules. If they're good enough for Big White, they're good enough for snark.
