The 2011 Ulacas

Another year, record voter turnout and yet again it's the crème de la crème that's risen to the top to receive their awards.

Brainiest Blog: Webb-site

The KMB Award for Improved Frequency: Architart

Best Photographs of Cheung Chau accompanied by Retro French Songs Blog: Mister Bijou

Best Culturally Sensitive Israeli Asian Blog – Filination

Best Film-related Blogs – Hong Kong Actresses (skinny Chinese birds), and Hong Kong (and Macau) Stuff(Bruce Lee locations' location)

The Clement Attlee Memorial Award for Most Centrist Blog: David Eldon

Best Reincarnation Blog: has to be Foamier (or whatever it's called when it re-opens)

The U.N. Award for Bridging Gap between World Cultures and Religions: China Droll

Goethe Award for Lifetime Achievement (even if you've never read him, you still quote him): Big Lychee/Hemlock

It was such a wild party that I'll be cleaning up for a few days, or, to be more precise, in true Hong Kong style, I'll be overseeing the cleaning up that will be carried out by a crew that my subcontractor has hired at well below minimum wage levels – skillfully achieved by giving them a 2-hour unpaid lunch break and making two of them do the work that three used to do.

More from the Ulaca team on 25 July.

Oh why thank you very much. I should celebrate my award with a moment of prolonged silence.

And speaking of silence, has Foamier gone up with the rapture?

Phil said...

I'm humbled. Many thanks.

This is only the second thing I have ever won - the first thing was a Christmas Cake at a work raffle in 1995. This certainly beats the cake (or perhaps takes it?).

The curator of the skinny Chinese birds is humbly grateful for this honor. Updating my resume as soon as I post this comment.

Is Rupert Murdoch the new Foamier?

Foamier said...

Oh, yes, thanks, by the way.

Your award to China Droll was remearkably prescient in light of her original piece (now deleted - but the comments give the gist) blaming the Norway murders on Islamists.

The award you bestow upon David Eldon reminds me of David Lloyd George's comment on Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer and then Foreign Secretary in the 1930s: 'He has sat on the fence so long that the iron has entered his soul.'

Strangely enough, I always thought Churchill said that of Attlee, but I must defer to your greater knowledge - contemporaneous, perhaps?!
