Celebrating Our Strangeness

Oh, wow, we've been honored with a really cool and funky award for our strangeness by Those Elgin Pugs, who, BTW, crack us up every time we read at their blog and look at those pics. Those dudes (um, ladies and dude) will do anything for a laugh - check out their poetry chops on Puddles post here (look in the comments)! Oh, yeah, they're strange! We don't think we could possibly compete with their strangeness, but still - we'll do our best.

Now you must go forth and celebrate the strangeness of friends (and strangers - strangers are always allowed) by nominating blogs run by strange folk. *Beware, some people don't like you to refer to them as strange…Try to avoid them if possible."

Of course, as with any award, there are some rules:

1. Add the logo of the award to your blog post - CHECK

2. Add a link to the person who awarded it to you (don't mess with strange people) - CHECK (see above). But, we're gonna do it again here 'cause we don't want to be messin' with strange people (or dogs).

3. Nominate seven other blogs telling us why you think the recipient is strange enough to deserve the award.

We consider being called "strange" a very complimentary thing. We take it to mean "interesting" - in a good way.  So, we hope all our nominees feel the same way and take our "strange" comments in the good-natured way it is intended.


We have to say that we would have put Puddles first on the list, and we think everyone would agree, but she just received this award, so she has been duly recognized for her interesting strangeness!
1 - First up - Frankie Furter - Um, do we need to explain this - the dude married TWO girls! As confirmed bachelors and bachelorettes, we think this is strange indeed! Plus, he just cracks us up!

2 -  The Blablabs - check out their video Get Pet 101 and you'll see what we mean.

3 - I Still Want More Puppies because of the strange fascination with space, like this, for example - whatever "space" is. We only know what OUR space is, and we don't like it to be invaded!

4 - Two Pitties in the City - Ms. M + tutu = need we say more?  We love it!

5 - Hound Girl - Haylie and Fred, a fabulously strange couple - in the best possible way.

6 - Miley - A Curious Cavorting Cavoodle - now that's wonderfully strange, dontcha think?

7 - Pei Days - A beautiful Shar Pei named "Lola" - how exotically strange!  We love how she signs everything "Me, Lola." 

4. Leave a message for those nominated on their blogs.  Okay, we plan to do this immediately, if not sooner.  However, as we've admitted, our sense of time is very fluid.

5. And, if you email catephoenix(at)gmail(dot)com and tell her you've received the award for your strangeness, she'll enter you in the biggest kick-ass Strange Men competition ever. Details over at http://www.strangemeninpinstripesuits.com/ (click on the award link on the home page). We visited this website and, yeah, it's STRANGE all right, and a little scary. We might have to leave a light on tonight.
