My readers leave a lot of funny comments on this blog. Stop it, will you! You’re embarrassing me; I’m supposed to be the amusing one.
I find it difficult to be funny back so, to circumvent my inadequacy, I am announcing the Comment of the Week Award, with a magnificent prize, to be known hereinafter as the CoWAbunger (TM) (Anybody know how to superscript?).
The magnificent prize is a photograph of a trophy/rosette/plaque of some kind, because I’m not made of money, you know. All decisions are made by me, and are final unless a suitable bribe is offered.
The inaugural CoWAbunger (TM) (Anybody know how to superscript?) goes to someone who has shown consistency in her commenting ever since I’ve known her; but that’s not why she’s the winner.
Someone who speaks her mind so I’d better stay on the right side of her; but that’s not why she’s the winner.
Someone who already gets regular mentions in this blog (previous comment refers); but that’s not why she’s the winner.
Who I’ve already told in my reply to her comment that she gets Comment of the Week; that’s why she’s the winner, because she inspired it. Oh, and her masterly response to my Weekly Photo Challenge: Up post. That’s why she’s the winner. That and the flattery, which I usually hate, as you know. Honest. But did I mention she was a straight talker, so it must be true that she loves me?

Here you go:
I have the feeling I’ve forgotten something…
…oh yes!
And the Winner is…Nancy! 
Unfortunately, Nancy couldn’t be here today to collect her award, because she lives on another continent. I have a feeling that’s going to happen a lot.

Far better than receiving a silly old Oscar and having to thank “the Academy.”
Plus, since I’m thanking Tilly . . . and responding to other comments as well . . . Tilly’s comment counter is going to sound like a Pin Ball Machine!

You’ve got exactly the right idea, Big Al.

I love the trophy, and well done Nancy.
I don’t even know what superscript is, so no help there, I’m afraid.
(Since you’ve already had Maltesers thrown at you, can I just say that I thought Manchester City played particularly well yesterday).

Couldn’t go to a better blogger! You are absolutely right on with everything you said about everyone’s favoriute blogger/commenter! Hurrah for NRH!
By the way, superscripting is easy as pie! If you have Windows 7, go to your “Character Map,” (it listed under accessories in your program list – as a matter of fact I’m pretty sure it’s available on just about any Microsoft OS). There are TONS of very interesting superscripts as well as all the diacriticals you could ever want, plus the characters of most non-cardinal-letters-using languages, i.e. Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc. etc. (Don’t have the Asian ones on there, though, but you can fuind those elsewhere).
Examples are: ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ◊ ○ ◌ ● ◘ ◙ ◦ ☺ ☻ ☼ ♀ ♂ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ ♪ ♫ ♯ Ⱡ ⱡ Ɫ Ᵽ Ɽ № ™ ₱ ₯ ₳ ⃰ ₢ ₠ ͏ Ɠ Ƿ Ǯ § © ® ° (This is just a small xample of the hundreds available on that map.)
Also, what I use as frequently or more so is the list of codes you can get here:
Click to access Typing%20Special%20Characters.pdf
I just print this and keep it near my computer. After a while you get where the codes are memorized – like the umlaut in Zoë’s name!
Hope this helps. . . It really is easy. . .
