Awards Night
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “Billies”. The standard of name-dropping was extremely high and the judges, as usual, were hard pressed to choose the winners. The judges were undecided whether to have the awards hosted by an unfunny American comedian, or an Australian drunk and in the end decided, mercifully, to dispense with both. So without further ado:The “ No-one Will Be Able To Top This “ Award: goes to kugelblitz, for “I Am Elvis’s Cousin”.The “Exotic Encounters of the First Kind” Award: goes to hlee for “Edward Gorey In Furs”.The “ Condoleeza Rice-Bubble-Butt-Crack-Den” Award for a Political Brush: goes to kugelblitz for “Unstained Adventures With Bill Clinton”.The “Jaw-Dropping Confession” Award: goes to ruralrob for “I Was A Spear Carrier for Joan Sutherland”.The “Oh, He Was Just Some Guy I Knew” Award: goes to susandennis for “I Didn’t Exactly Tell Tou Anything About William H. Macy’s Penis” (an out of competition entry on her own journal ) (some several hours later)Well it’s very, very late Ladies and Gentlemen, and I’m pleased to see that everyone won one of these beautiful awards. I’m sure many of you will be able to think of a number of creative uses for it. Thank-you, and you just keep lovin’ each other, y’hear?

Hey, it's going right on my mantelpiece . . .P.S. Do I get another one if I tell you I also toted spear for a visiting Mr P. Domingo too. (I can be such a name-dropper, you know, for a country lad.)
Last year the Australian Opera presented an opera about the Lindy Chamberlain case. Now if they had been able to lure Placebo to Sydney for the season, we could have had an immortal moment. I envisage a dramatic aria: " Domingo Ate My Baby! "
and I would like to thank the incredible amount of causality that made all of this possible.
I have considered and deleted many responses. All I can say is that if anyone was watching the web cam just now, they caught the jpg version of hilarious!P.S. I have cleared the wigs off the shelf in my bathroom and dusted it off for the perfect award placement.
In honor of this award and of Mr. Gorey's state of mind at the time, I am all a-tizzy.
I need to meet more famous people so that I can get a prize.
If you turn the little knob at the base of your statuette, you may find that it is able to soothe away such minor tensions.I was first pointed to the work of Mr, Gorey by a friend in 1965. It was "The Fatal Lozenge" and it was love at first sight. He was the personification of eccentric genius.
