Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher knows greatness when she sees it. And she has seen this blog. And found that greatness resides here. Along with Unshittiness™.
This never gets old.
But we’re not here to talk about Unshittiness™, which saddens me. BUT, we are here to talk about inspiration. Yours, specifically. Because we inspire you. And stuph™. And that gladdens me.
Our inspiration of you has been thoroughly researched by Rutabaga, a mercenary researcher. Sure, she researches for the highest bidder, but that doesn’t mean that her results aren’t beyond reproach. Because they’re not. Not in this case, anyhow.
Rutabaga exhausted herself searching for inspirational blogs on these here interwebs and found that Stuphblog was among the top of the list. In fact, we ARE at the top of her list. So take THAT, other inspirational blogs. Be jealous, bitches. Be jealous.
I’m sure, like most awards, that there are rules and homework involved. *runs to Rutabaga’s blog to check* A ha! I was correct. Here are said rules…
1. Display the award logo on your blog.
Ooooohhhhhh prettyyyyyy.
2. Link back to the person/s who nominated you.
3. State 7 things about yourself.
1) I’m not Canadian.
2) Canadian bacon and ham are the same thing. I don’t know what that has to do with me.
3) I love Donald Duck. He understands me.
4) I never take off my stormtrooper armor because I’ve gained so much weight I can’t get it off.
5) I have 5 transparent tattoos, but I don’t know where or what they are because I can’t find them
6) I have hair.
7) My feet are at the end of my legs.
4. Nominate other bloggers for this award and link to them
This is the toughest part. Nominating other blogs. How do I choose among all of the blogs I follow who to nominate? Who will appreciate and/or accept the awards? Who inspires me? Who is on par with Stuphblog? The answer, at least to the last question, is nobody. However, I shall endeavor to nominate blogs that will entertain, or at least not bore, you.
And the nominees are…
- Fifty Four and a Half
- Life With the Top Down
- The Cheeky Diva
- 25toFly
- The Camel Life
- A Clown on Fire ( I know he doesn’t accept these awards, but his writing and the Le Clown persona have inspired me)
In all seriousness, I’d like the thank Rutabaga for nominating us for this award. I’d also like to shamelessly admit (not so shamelessly) that each of the blogs I nominated have truly inspired me and influenced the way I blog and write. So to those nominated I’d first like to say thank you for 1) being great writers/bloggers and 2) inspiring me to be a better writer/blogger and being a great influence with your own unique and badass styles.
Congratulations to you all.

You are awfully sweet, TD. I am honored. Especially to be mentioned before Le Clown!
But I haven’t done anything with the other ones yet. I am a very bad inspiration, TwinDaddy.
Get busy then!!
Awww – I’m very much blushing – you are very sweet….and in this particular case no one paid me to be very entertained by your blog. Not even that guy over there waving at me in a Stormtrooper dealie on.
Your acceptance post was way funnier than mine – damn you ~ and congrats!
Well, then, it appears that we can find inspiration in each other. Whoa, that was deep.
hee hee….
Okay, so we established that that’s not the evil laugh. Mischievous?
Mawhahaha is the evil laugh….hee hee – amused
Okay. I’m glad we got that settled.
Twin Daddy!
Yay for declining publicly another award! Seriously… Nah, fuck seriousness… I appreciate the sentiment. I do. But seriously… I am retiring the Alan Smithee Blog award. You should grab it before it disappears. You might be able to auction it one day. It will be worth more than Mother Teresa’s hymen.

I have copied it already and will add it to my awards page soon. I knew you would decline it, but I still wanted you to know that your blog has influence me and I wanted others to know it as well. If nothing else, you may get some more carnies out of the deal. There’s still room in the tent, right?
Twin Daddy,
You make it hard for Le Clown to be a twat. Thank you… It really means a great deal to me that Le Clown has something positive to do with your creative process.
Does this mean you are willing to babysit my daughter? For the next 7 years? I think your twin boys could be a really good influence on her… If she doesn’t eat their souls first…
Le Clown
Le Clown,
I have no doubt that being a twat, for you, has always been and always will be effortless.
Could you truly live without your daughter for the next seven years? Methinks not. Besides, she’d be disappointed with the distinct lack of mimes and constipated visitors from foreign lands at my place.
Twindaddy
Twin Daddy,
You’re right; make it ten years.
Le Clown
Damn you. You win. Any witty retort I had died with the burst of laughter I suffered from reading your post.
Asshole.
Congrats again, Twin!
Those are some great blogs you nominated too.
(which leads me to the question – who are you again?)
Um, huh?
Thank you, thank you very much Twin. I really enjoyed the facts you revealed about yourself. Feet at the end of your legs….wooo…that’s deep.
I figured most people would find that interesting. I mean, who else has feet at the end of the legs?
Aww shucks. Twin Daddy is so generous.
I do what I can, Becca. I do what I can.
I have come to enjoy our communications, your blog, and pistachios. Wait, what?
Thanks for making my day this weekend when I saw this!
Pistachios?!?! Becca, how did you get my nuts?
I’m a nut cracker.
Well, in that case you can stay hundreds of miles away from me and we can just be cyber friends. Mkay?
I get that a lot. Nut crackers are the loneliest people.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I like my nuts whole.
But they are harder to eat that way.
Oh…THOSE nuts.
What other kind would we be talking about?!?!
Peanuts. Salty peanuts.
I am hungry.
I have….Dammit. I’m not sure how far I can go with this. I don’t know you THAT well yet…
Bye-bye!
LOL.
I was already laughing and then I read the comments that Le Clown and Becca left and now I’m choking with laughter. Congratulations and “Be jealous bitches, be jealous” is my favorite line
I used it often, too, because hey, bitches ARE jealous.
They SO are.
I know! Fucking bitches…
Wow, congrats. You’re really raking them in here, aren’t you? Well, they couldn’t be going to a finer guy. Unless they were coming to me. But I don’t inspire anybody lol, but that’s par for the course.
Sure you do. There has to be someone, right? Anyone? Buehler?
Man… I hope not.
Are you implying that you’re not suitable to inspire people?
Pretty much. I’m too warped really. Not that I’m proud of that, it’s just the way things are. It’s probably a good thing I can’t have kids, cause I’m not sure I’m suitable to be a parent. At least a decent one lol.
The fact that you think that probably means otherwise.
Maybe.
Most bad parents don’t realize that they suck at it.
LOL That’s true enough.
Trust me. I’ve known some shitty parents. They have no clue.
Likewise.
Greetings fellow source of inspiration.
I’d like to agree with you that Rutabaga was looking for “unshittness,” but alas I cannot.
As soon as I received her glorious praise, it inspired a Poopidemic (TM) in our household: my two-year-old immediately pooped in the bath.
This unprecedented act of shittiness was surely due to the award, was it not?
Coincidence. Pure coincidence.
