The Bloggies are coming! Though, maybe you're more into the Anti-Bloggies instead. Like dogs sniffing crotches, bloggers are obsessed with shiny awards and link-trading.
The Bloggies are being held in March, and the Anti-Bloggies start up their shiznaz that same month, announcing winners in April. Frankly, both are pretty fun, though the Bloggies take themselves relatively seriously it seems. Maybe Monkeyfilter will one day get nominated for "Best Metafilter Clone" ... maybe we could make than an Anti-Bloggies category. "Community With Most People Who Want To Post On Metafilter But Cannot" also has a nice ring. Any ideas for awesome categories for a hypothetical blog awards thingy?
Example: Anti-Bloggies has "Most Likely To Eat A Cheese Sandwich", which is a snarky way of saying said blogger tends to describe everything they're doing. "Today I got this rash, and now it's changing colour. And I just had a sandwich..."
(If this is a double post, I'm totally going to maim the search function.)
If forky doesn't get "Best Hit Counter," I'm taking my toys and going home. Either that, or creating my own "Monkees" award:

Yes, anyhow, I'm fairly sure you can start nominating blogs and putting in categories for the Anti-Bloggies. I suggest we start a huge campaign for getting MonkeyFilter nominated for, you know, something self-depricating concerning Metafilter.
