We kind of won something

we won!

And when I say “we,” I mean you, too— yesterday during Blogday 2008, fellow blogger Henry Michel (whom most of you know because he’s twitter-famous) chose melissamaples.com as his pick for “funniest blog.” Woo! Many thanks to him for that.

The article is in French, and I won’t bore you with a complete translation of how awesome I am, but the gist of the last paragraph is that half the awesomeness belongs to you guys— as Henry Michel rightly points out, most of the fun of the bazaar posts has to do with the banter we get going back and forth in the comments. Many times your captions are way funnier than mine, and I thank all of you for your contributions. The only correction I might make is that the article says I’m English (in reality my parents are German and I was born in the United States), but hey, I’ve lived so many places now (including the UK) that it’s all a blur anyway.

    @HM Hahaha well, Maples is an English name, so no doubt there’s an Englishman in the pile somewhere way back on my dad’s side. šŸ˜€
