You're a Champion, Eagle-Eye

Two cooks, a thief.  Not pictured:  his wife, her lover.

For those of you new to the site Largely the Truth was nominated for "Best Blog" & "Funniest Tweet" in the inaugural West Coast Social Media Awards.  The awards dinner was just over a week ago and wouldn't you know, out of 18 nominees Largely the Truth placed in the top 5 for Best Blog.  That's no small thing when your website consists of one guy shoehorning dick jokes into restaurant reviews.

As for Funniest Tweet?  See above, baby.  At first I was chagrined by the fact that my reviews & articles take hours to write yet I won an award for jokes that I cast off like cigarette butts, but then I remembered the words of my mother:  "Shut up and say thank you!"

So thank you very much to everyone who voted!

Oh, and the winning "tweet"?


"It's like The Omega Man out here except instead of vampires I keep running into feral packs of douchebags."

In a bizarre twist of fate Largely the Truth has been nominated for two West Coast Social Media, or "Westie", awards - Funniest Tweet, for "It's like The Omega Man out here except instead of vampires I keep running into feral packs of douchebags", and Best Blog.

Voting has opened and though I do not have a naturally competitive nature I feel compelled to crush those who oppose me.  You can help me do so by clicking here and voting (will open a new window).

Update:

As a former sixth grade student council president I'm no stranger to the campaign trail but even I was shocked and saddened to find "attack politics" being used for such a minor prize.  Watch the video but don't be swayed by their smooth talk.
