The Golden Aardvark Aaward
Wherein We Meet the Aardie and Learn of Its Origin
I'm not sure how often the mood will strike me to commend the work of other bloggers. My Old Adam insists upon being commended, first. However, I think that we can throw that rascal off track by designing an honor that he cannot be given. Of course, that's because he thinks he already is the Golden Aardvark. Be that as it may, the introductory digression has gone on long enough.
Anyhow, in conjunction with the hat tips, the Ol' Aardvark now has a tangible receipt for the blogging labors of those mentioned in various praise posts and doffings of the chapeau. Yes, gentle reader (or Gentile reader, if that also fits), Aardvark Alley hereby unveils the Golden Aardvark Aaward, known in the vernacular as the Aardie.
"Aardie" is no mere nickname, but an acronym for all this honor represents: A.A.R.D.I.E. stands for the "Aardvark Aaward for Raillery, Doctrine, or Intellect in Exposition."
Bloggers mentioned in The Aardvark Aagrees or Snouts Up! — as well as any future honorees — are invited to display the coveted (but not in a 10th Commandment manner, please) Golden Aardvark on their own blogs.
Note that two sizes are available, discreet (above) and "loud and proud" (right). The Ol' Aardvark leaves it to you to decide which to use and whether to place it in the body of the honored post, in a separate post, or in your blog's sidebar.
Please, if you clip the Aardie from me, please download it and please re-upload it to your own server: I'm hosting it at Xrysostom, the home site for Ask the Pastor and and don't want to burn bandwidth.
Of course, linking back to this post will always be appreciated. ¶ 20:22 |
