The 2008 Catholic Blog Awards are open for nominations until noon on Friday, February 29. Last year, I tried to be gracious and point out all the other good blogs to nominate. NOT THIS YEAR! This year is all about me, baby. So nominate me for everything, even what I am not qualified for. Why should you? 1) I am a priest 2) I am better armed than many small countries 3) I know how to make napalm 4) I am descended from Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich the Fowler.

hmmm...
maybe....
And humble, too!
To be honest, much like the Grammy awards or Oscars, I could not donate a rodent's derriere to these awards!
Well...on that note...don't you think it would be good to nominate me? After all:
1. I love Jesus.
2. I love dogs.
3. I'm sure my arsenal rivals yours...just call me a Pioneer Woman...people are NOT getting NEAR the Blessed Sacrament on my watch! (Except to pray...)
4. Um...I'm working on my MTS
5. I need attention and I can be dramatic if necessary.
6. I pray for priests, and have "adopted" a couple of them, and a couple seminarians.
7. I am the niece of a dear friend of Padre Pio, who was extremely obedient to the Magisterium and has always been our family Saint.
8. I'm a sinner in massive need of Grace. And if that's not good enough, then nothing is.
Very cool picture Father! Well, you know, I have been severly depressed--and well, before you send the napalm--could you give me last rites? It would go well for you in Purgatory after you confessed "taking me out." LOL!
Ohhh, guns and napalm, sweeeeet.
Expecting a Mormon attack?
How could I resist that inspiring self-endorsement??? (I already nominated you before anyway). Good luck!

PS You too, Adoro te
Father, you should know the Styrofoam will actually dissolve in the gasoline without heating, much as will the soap flakes.
I will nominate you for Hottest Mommy Blogger then.
That's a tactic I haven't tried yet... I'm going to see how much success pleading produces. I might try threats next year, if pleading doesn't work!
Father: Come out here and make me! Really, if you HAD done that Cartman impression on The Journey Home I'd be so down with nominating and voting for you. You can alleviate my disappointment by posting a huge blaze of your own creation on your blog. You can start with a large building in Temple Square in SLC. Hee-hee.
Well I'm intimidated - you have my vote! Sorry - VOTES!
Can you declare War on Hitlery? Even just Chappaqua. I bet you could kick Chappaqua's butt by 10a.m. on Wednesday in your street clothes.

Street clothes? If Father's going to do any gung-fu, I want to see him do it in the cassock.
Alas, no kung fu in a cassock. (Keanu has already done that.) Also, firearms are always preferable to melee--all the kung fu in the world won't stop the slug from a .45.
Well, when you put it that way.....
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three... no, FOUR minutes since I last nominated your blog; I am unworthy to undo the strap of your bandolier.
For my penance, I promise to nominate your blog three times for the Saint Irenaeus Award for Smashing Heresies into Tiny Bits, and five times for the Saint John Chrysostom Award for Speaking Truth to Power, Yea, Even Though the Mean Empress Smite Us and Cause Us to be Cast into Forlorn Exile, See If I Don't!
(And if those aren't actual Catholic Blog Awards, they really should be!)
FATHER JOE versus ORTHOMETER
I am not number one in any category, but there is one consolation, neither is my competition. Alas, I think he has paid a heavy price for his road kill comedy. Ah, how low the great have fallen. Head to head I beat ORTHOMETER in all but one category.
Best Apologetic Blog – FATHER JOE (16) / ORTHOMETER (7)
I hate to gloat, but heck anti-Catholics run from me afraid for their lives, thinking I will take their bibles away from them!
Best Blog by Clergy – FATHER JOE (23) / ORTHOMETER (11)
Okay, I might not be at the top of the list, but look, I beat Father Erik! Does anyone want to kiss my hand? Um, only my hand…
Best Designed Blog – FATHER JOE (14) / ORTHOMETER (5)
Subjects are arranged by both category and dates, it is truly an impressive site, even if I do say so myself. One hardly needs to look elsewhere on the Internet.
Best Individual Blog – FATHER JOE (11) / ORTHOMETER (3)
How was it that ORTHOMETER competed in both BEST GROUP and BEST INDIVIDUAL Blog? That was one way for him to win, to pick categories where I could not compete.
Best Overall Blog – FATHER JOE (9) / ORTHOMETER (1)
Cough, cough, and excuse my dust.
Best Political Blog – ORTHOMETER (11) / FATHER JOE (10)
Pretty close, given that I try not to be political. Okay, I will grant you this one shallow victory.
Best Written Blog – FATHER JOE (13) / ORTHOMETER (3)
Just call me the Shakespeare among the clergy!
Funniest Blog – FATHER JOE (12) / ORTHOMETER (6)
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Most Spiritual Blog – FATHER JOE (10) / ORTHOMETER (2)
Excuse me while I levitate. Amen!
Hey, what’s that sound, I think ORTHOMETER terrorists are at the back door. I have to run get the holy water! See ya!
Father Joe
P.S. Have a happy and blessed Easter season!
