Kat my dear
You're not going to get the Swiss Guard of your dreams if you refer to yourself as a lab monkey :)
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod has got some Popery.
Vote Potpourri! Vote for the little guy!

Thanks, Terry. Your indulgences are in the mail!
Terry, I will if you will.
How about I vote for Larry (Hifreakinlarious), you (Best Visual Treat) and you vote for Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (Potpourri) and Shoved to Them (Underappreciated)?
Whaddaya say?
I'm shocked I even got nominated on this "prestigious" blog...I'm not kidding.
That's enough for me.
I post when God inspires...otherwise I just cause havoc in the commboxes in other people's blogs:<)!
Oh, I love to do that...just ask CofA...she's given me the "irritable but spiritual" award:<)!
AND...not to influence any voters here, but I have actually gotten "deleted" at a very popular blog for my "irritable/spiritual" comments...
My impulsive nature and "big-mouth" lack of "nuance" gets me in trouble at times.
I'm part Irish, what can I say?
Vote for Swissmiss - St. Monica's Kneeler for "Blog That Needs to be Updated More Often.."
Drats. I've never once been nominated. That's sad lol!
This contest is over. Give Cleansing Fire the $10,000!
Mad Catholic--
CONGRATS on your upcoming commission in the Royal Navy!! I've had the extreme pleasure of working on several occasions with the Royal Air Force, and not a finer bunch of gentlemen to find in this entire world... they even showed me how to drink darts and throw Guiness......errr... :)
The maintenance guys weren't real impressed with Prince Harry...although security-wise I'm sure the royals are a pain to be around..
Good luck!!

So...I see I've been nominated as "Best Armchair Theologian", thanks to all who have voted for me!
But..um....will I be disqualified if I admit that, actually, in fact, I don't even..um...HAVE an armchair?
Because I don't have an armchair. I only have a computer desk (with a kitchen chair), a couch, and a rocker. But not an armchair.
I hope this technicality won't be a problem.

Cage match you say? I say it is more like the heavyweight championship of the world and Rocky should win....get out and vote!
And should you have trouble deciding, go with that priest at Blessed Is The Kingdom.
One of these days, I shall have to make my blog open to the public again, just so that I might be put into the category, 'Most Bat Shit Crazy'. What an awesome category!
Raulito: If I actually posted all the bat-shit-crazy things that go on around here and that I actually think...you'd all be putting me into a "rehab center" or the "Fourth Floor'(read psychiatric wing) of the local hospital...I'm not kidding.
Life without Jesus and His Church sucks...totally...even with Jesus and His Church, it sucks...but somehow we are purified and made holy.
I don't get it; but God does...He's the only Who counts here, I guess!
Fr Hunwicke is not a Catholic priest - you could at most put him in "best blog by a heretic" :)
o.k., I figure if I'm gonna vote, I oughta know something about the contenders (and yes, I am also this anal in November). I was delighted that you seemed to have links to them all, but can't find a link to Fr. Acervo's Corner. Can you help me out, Kat?
I like the best blog by a heretic category--I just don't want to cause a spike in their stats by visiting them to check out which is the best.
I voted once and that's it - this is as bad as fr. Z's polls - totally unscientific. I think fr. R is selling indulgences to get people to vote as often as they can for him. I'm disgusted.
No I'm not. But I do feel sorry about fr. Z being banned - there are other famous bloggers nominated better than him - why do they get in? I'm kidding.
No I'm not.
Nazareth priest
bat-crazy things happen where you are? I thought that all religious (apart from from the earth nutty kind) had their sense of humour surgically removed prior to pepetual profession of vows.
Vote for me! Vote for me! Vote for me! I mean, where else will you find the Yanks Phil Hughes and a Papal Encyclical in one post...and have it all make sense?
http://www.faithfictionandflannery.com/2010/05/phil-hughes-glove-and-meaning-of-work.html
Then when you're done voting for me, vote for Deacon Scott Dodge, cuz his blog is good and he's my friend. Plus I'll pay you.
With all due respect, how does one even get mentioned in the above categories?
My Papal blog is vastly superior to the bulk of those mentioned above...and I am a ferocious defender of the Bishop of Rome.
Nazareth Priest--
during our last Carmelite retreat we asked our retreat master--a good Carmelite friar-- what it was like living in the monastery...
He thought for a second and with his wonderful sense of humor said it was more like a frat house than anything....methinks Animal House comes to mind...
And he said everyone squabbles over washing dishes and cleaning the bathroom :)
My vision of calm kindly Friars in Friar Tuck habits praying and being sickingly kind toward one another was destroyed for life.. :)
Sara
Sara: You don't know the half of it:<)!
But we love one another and just try to "be good".
Like any other family.
And Just a mad Catholic: if the "sense of humor" thing gets removed prior to entering, he is "removed" from here.
St. Therese, as well as St. Teresa of Avila had wonderful senses of humor...good grief, if one didn't have this, you would go BSCrazy...in a day or two:<)!
Please Take My Avatar Off Your Website. And, Confess Your Calumny, and Rash Judgment. Shame On You. Perfect Contrition Is Required, For Mortal Sins. And, That IS What You Have Comitted Against Me.
My Avatar Is Cathlic Glasses. Remove My Avatar, And Your Sick Rash, And Untrue Comments, And INuendos About Me, Off Your Website. You have calumniated me.
Defamation, Libel, and Slander are against the rules of "Blogger" I have lodged a complaint under that category. You will be eating your own words. You are a liar. I'm calling you on it.
I'm sorry "Mom" but nominations for Most Bat Shit Crazy are closed.
"Blowing San #1" as Most Church Militant? Wow! This is what I get from reading so much Hans Kung.
Is "Mom" havin' a bad day?
Or does she need her meds changed?
I'm serious here..good Lord!
There are a whole lot of really interesting blogs here. How do you guys find the time to read them all?
"I'm sorry "Mom" but nominations for Most Bat Shit Crazy are closed."
That's the funniest thing I have ever read!
Just thought I'd mention that those strange comments by "Mom" are NOT from our beloved "aka the Mom" of Shoved To Them fame.
The "Mom" account is clearly a spam account.
Vote for the REAL "aka the Mom" for Best Under Appreciated!!
I would like to publicly state that I am not this crazy "Mom" person. I would like to take this moment to thank Nod for defensing my sacred honor. As a thank you, you should vote for him in Best Potpourri of Popery, and you should vote for me "SHoved to Them" in Best Underappreciated because this crazy person makes me angry by using y name like that.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think that someone (Crescat) sees me swiftly catching up in the polls and this is a clever smear campaign. But I'm not that kind of person, so I won't say that about her....yet.
"This contest is over. Give Cleansing Fire the $10,000!"
LOL, Mike. I didn't know there was a cash prize. Would it be delivered in the form of an over-sized novelty check?
~Dr. K
Sorry to throw cold water, but there is doubt from reliable people that the blog "Ask Sister Mary Martha" is written by a real nun.
Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry!
Damn, now I have to be profound and funny on purpose. Vote for underappreciated me at Chocolate For Your Brain!
Friends, a vote for Brandywine Books is a vote for heresy. Viva la Revolution!
Holy cow, I am just now reading the comments and "Mom's" reaction. Sad that her Blogger profile is private, as I would have loved to do a post on her.
Oh, and vote for The Digital Hairshirt as "Most Bat Shit Crazy." Terry, I would never stoop to selling indulgences. But if you have anyone, you know, you want "gone" . . . let me know, 'kay?
*spritzes gasoline"
Vote ME for Heretic.
8-D
For "Blog by a Religious" please consider this a write-in for Fr Seraphim Beshoner, TOR of Catholic Under the Hood
I can't believe Fr. Jake is in last place in the heresy department. I know of no blog that is more heretical while purporting to be Christian.
I just want to thank everyone who voted for Larry. I'm proud of the Catholic bloggers who support special needs people like this guy. He puts on such a brave front.
