Runtu,

These categories haven't been eliminated this year, have they?

Apologist that would not give their 14-17 year old daughter to Joseph Smith: No nominations

Apologist that is not missing the chip that directs their moral compass when evaluating Mormon history: No nominations

Least substantive apologist: Dr. Peterson

Lamest apologist: Wade

Lifetime achievement in self-deprecatory humor tactics: Dr. Peterson

Most predictable apologist: Droopy/Coggins

Umm.. I think that was supposed to be a slam..
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

I take what I can get.

Ask Scratch about the patheticism that rules my life and leads me to yearn for any sort of recognition. According to him, I'd do almost anything to be a mod on an inconsequential board.

Either that or my acceptance speech was meant to be a joke.
