Isoglossia & UpdateFriday 25 May 2007 19:42
Here’s where we drew neck and neck
The polls are still open, and it being Friday night, my hands are too full of babies and beer to type much, but here’s an update: a few hours ago we drew even with the exceptionally well-mannered and good-natured Le Meg of Le Blagueur à Paris in what many are terming a showdown between the blogs of Old Europe and those of New Europe. If you’ve forgotten which is which, well, get on board, people– these are blogs we’re talking about, after all.

I just voted for you again, fella, and you’re still at 44%. I figured you weren’t any good at that self-deprecating jocularity.

J, my head swells with pride for you!
Oh, wait: that might be the pounds and pounds of mucous currently parked between my nose and my right ear.
Regardless, I am so proud of and happy for you that I could burst (if it wouldn’t be so horrifically messy).

My cheeks are raw and red from the day’s SPANKING.
I think it’s safe at this point to say Congratulations!
;)

Thanks, Le Meg. You have been a very gracious adversary. Words fail me, so I will resort to quoting Rene Belloq: “you and I, Dr. Jones, I believe, are very much alike.”
You can be sure that you’ve gained me as a reader, and that I’ll be referring traffic to your excellent blog. Oh, and I’ll send you some soothing lotion for those cheeks.

Well, Mr. Sgazzetti, somehow myposted congratulations of a few days ago went lost (or deleted) somewhere in the ethers over Slovenia. Unless, a possibility, as per Mr.Manske’s occasional post the congrats appeared, like a threatening storm cloud over Bratislava.
Hope this Sunday finds you lounging in your finest Satins and thta your progeny are looking at you with a newly established respect.
Or,as Aretha sang it so well,R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

It’s certainly possible that your congratulations went to a site called Idioglossia in Slovakia, Darko. Thanks for your congratulations and your support, but I think it’s still a little early for the former. The votes continue to trickle in (Sunday evening CET), so our lead could still melt away like the snows of yesteryear…

Hey! Thanks for visiting.
Meg told me to suck up to you for more votes. It’s seems vaguely sordid… and when I feel like doing something sordid I already have my satin pjs…
But brown-nosing for tweens aside, I like your blog and it’s nice to discover it this way. Good luck and yes, Meg is very VERY competitive.
