Set of Steak Knives · 10 February 2003

I suppose it’ll be just a matter of time before accusations of rigging and taint cloud the air, before the burbling Attack Runts shit their collective underpants because InstaPoobah or ‘that hateful and nostalgic little monkey’ aren’t nominated, but it’s interesting nonetheless to learn that this site’s daily photos of my dog Oliver (updated each day at 6 AM CET unless of course I forgot to put one up the night before which does happen now and again) are in the running for Best Pet Photo Blog in the Photobloggies, an award that comes with a prize of a Red Rubber Devil Duck. No idea what that is, but it sounds pretty good.

Big day for Oliver all around, as this arrived in the mail. He is now officially sanctioned (indeed, ‘highly recommended’) to bump nasties with hot bitches for money or bacon or what have you.

A small private celebration, with ground beef and ear scratches, took place at midday.
