Attention everybody!
Since this year is my Dad's 70th birthday, I'm inaugurating a new tradition.
Don't worry. You haven't missed his birthday yet. You can still get him something.
I hereby announce The 2010 LeRoys.
Now, just because it's my Dad's birthday and he's got an award named after him doesn't mean he wants to be bothered. Sometimes quiet is what he's going for, so don't bug him unnecessarily. If he wants to talk, you'll know.
First things first, the rules...
The LeRoys are awarded when there are sufficient deservees.
The LeRoys may be awarded in any category.
The LeRoys at the present do not award material objects.
If you are the namesake of a LeRoy and do not wish to be so, please let The Management know and amends will be made.
The above does not apply to my Dad.
All speeches must be left in writing as a comment to this post. Please consider that children may be reading.
If you do not like sports, keep reading. There are non-sports categories.
And awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go...

It's an honor to accept this award for best Facebook photo (even if it's a tie-- I almost feel as robbed as I did at the '94 NBTHS Battle of the Bands). All this could not have been possible without the inimitable LeRoy and the dogs. I'd like to thank my lovely wife, who immortalized my likeness on her thumb.
ReplyDeletejesus christ...where to start.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Inglorious Basterds, it was a great movie. Plain and simple. Anytime Hitler dies in a movie should give said movie instant credit.
Second, Joe Theisman was pathetic. I read in the NYTimes that he spoke for what accounted for 29:00 minutes of airtime. NBC does not have a second team. However, Tom Hammond is excellent at what he does, the other two really made it painful.
The freecreditreport.com band? goodness, they really are dreadful. Oh you do know that the lead singer is French and that he lip synchs all the songs.
more later
Oh my god, I am so honored by my award and to have an award named after me! You're awesome. Also, I think your blog logo is hilarious.
