The Friday Awards

The Friday Awards

By Emily Winter

In the summer, Fridays are stupid. They're practically Mondays, but Fried, and we're on a diet. They're useless, toothless, persistent, and ruthless. Luster-less,  flamflusterous, withered, and wonderless.

And they do not deserve to be celebrated. Now, who's with me?

JUST KIDDING, SPARKLERS.

Ohhhh man, you should have seen the look on your face. Priceless. I'm so glad I took a picture of it. I mean, um, errrrm, nevermind.

Listen up, skeptics: This amazing poster in the Hong Kong subway proves that EVERY DAY is worth celebrating. Why? Because you never know when your best friend is going to bite your head off.

I know, I'm exploding with wisdom.

Now, let's talk about YOU, you precious, thoughtful things. Specifically...

JuJukins, randomness2325, apples137, and SpacemanSpiff777, who had birthdays this week.

Happy Sunday birthday to purpleabsofsteel.

Happy Super Belated Birthday to xPurpleElephants, LiMeGrEeN916, june5678, and biskvitkaimlyako.

Nickname of the Week goes to MutantFrogsAreOnTheLoose

The Chelsea Award for Confuzzlement About Irony goes to shhaarron for this comment on What to Expect When You Lose a Grandparent...

haha. this is such a sad little post, and everyone's all like YEAH BAMMMM GO US WOOT WOOT.
i would have cheered like that too if i was higher up, of course.
but i'm just saying, i thought it was ironic :p
AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF I USED THE WORD 'IRONIC' CORRECTLY.
thank you and goodnight.

The MY-CE CREAM (= MY ICE CREAM. Come on, help a Sparkitor out.) Awards go to the following Sparklers for comments on the Ice Cream Post...

Becka'sDestiny for...

I think there should be "Backstabbing Cotton Candy Doom". It's sweet when you first meet it, but as soon as you get overeager and consume too much of it, it freaks out and completely (rudely) ignores you, leaving you with a case of indigestion and a wonder of what you did wrong. Yeah, I said it.

natalie1994 for...

Conceded Crunch-
This ice cream has everything. It has nuts, whipped topping, bubble gum, gummy bears, gummy worms, brownie bites, oreos, M&M's, coconut..... need i go on. So this icecream has it's own display case thats way fancier than the others. But then you realize that the more you eat it the more you are annoyed by its conflicting flavors and how its just trying to look cool so it can capture a helpless person into being its friend. Once you try it you htave to keep eating it so you can look cool no matter how much you hate it.

sgtpepper191 for...
Forever Buddy Fudge: It's impossible to stop eating this delicious and decadent mix of rich chocolate ice cream and brownie bits. Once you start eating it, you feel as if it's the only ice cream flavor you ever want to eat, ever again. Your friends tell you it's irrational, but what do they know? This is hot-fudge-drizzled LOVE, and, if you're lucky, it may even sparkle.

qooqooquail for...
Litte Brother Bacon Brownie Bits: You can't figure out why you keep biting into this, because everytime you do, it bites back. Well, actually, it was provoking you, so it really bit first. You want to just throw it away into a trash can and leave it there forever, but everytime you open the freezer, it's still there. (Unless it's in the fridge, because your little brother puts it there sometimes.) Yet you keep eating it, because if you don't, it'll go bad. You will also beat up anyone who dares to diss the Little Brother Brunch, because that's YOUR job. Occasionally, you'll get a bite that has some brownies in it, and you'll be reminded why you haven't murderized it yet. Then, just when you and that chocolaty goodness are having a moment, the bacon pops up and ruins it.

Nickname1010101 for...

Tea Berry Twilight Truffle - You only try this because your friend tells you how amazing it is. But after one bite, you want to throw up.

Denisey94 for...

The Bieber Tracks- it looks nice and chocolatey but then there's little repetitive chunks of lyric shaped chocolate covered caramel bites, and some really feminine hazelnuts.

xPurpleElephants for...
Procrastination Punch:
Pistachio flavored with a chocolate punch, this ice cream keeps on managing to put off being consumed, filled with ingredients like forms that need filling from work, that seventy-five you got on a test that needs to be signed by mom, and the new string you need to use to replace the one that snapped on your guitar, this flavor time after time reminds you why you don't want it yet. Even though it's been in the freezer for five months, the mold hasn't even started to grow on it.

The Epic PWNing Comeback Award goes to SecretlyAWizard for this comment on Auntie SparkNotes: A Hairy Situation
If I had long hair and someone said that to me, I'd probably say "Well well why don't you just...donate your face! Because it's ugly!" Then I'd run like very fast breeze, and hope I'd never see them again.
.
I know, it's a truly brilliant comeback. I should be applauded. -applauds self sarcastically-

The "Sparkitors Are Suckers for Excessive Compliments" Award goes to endlesslight44 for this comment on Committee of Cool: OK Go...

I always think of Sparkitors as one big lump of AwesomesauceCoolness wrapped in FantasmicHumor topped with CrazamzingStyle. It's funny to see them talk to each other and be just as hilarious as I imagine them to be. So, no more imagining. Now it's real.

The “Should Never Be in Charge of Children or Even Baby Grasshoppers” Award goes to Shyell for this comment on Blogging My Babysitting Nightmare...
Last time I babysat, I was holding the little girl in my arms and spinning around, then I got dizzy, stumbled, and smashed her head on a coffee table. I haven't babysat since.

The Inflating the Intern's Ego Award goes to the following Sparklers for their comments on How to Kiss: Sarah on Preparation...

Sara_95 for...

I love the *sparkle sparkle* in the last picture (:

natallia1994 for..

i love those pictures they are FANTASTIC

snowangel1794 for...

Haha I love how Sarah used little brown stars to make the messy hair!

dim_dancer for...

hahaha awsome guide. definately remember gum and mints and anything that makes ur breathe smell/taste better cuz u dont actually taste the food u tast gross garbageness

The Best Math Skillz Ever Award goes to time_turner for this comment on Systems of Measurement for the SparkLife Set...

Awesomeness is measured in Sparkles.
One Sparkle equals the average number of comments on an Open Thread during the month of September, multiplied by the average number of times one laughs at a Dan post.
Sparkitors, of course are infinitely awesome, and therefore have an infinite number of Sparkles.

The “Scoot Over, We’re Climbing In” Award goes to bunniesofchub for this comment on SparkNotes Movie Club Presents: Jaws...
just the theme song of this movie makes me want to hide in my sock drawer!

The “Is YOUR Dad MY Dad?!?”/The Mr. Winter Award goes to hlucero06 for this comment on How to Be Funny...
My dad is just naturally funny. He's also loud. Sometimes I'll tell a joke, and my family will laugh. Later, my dad will tell my joke again, only louder, and the whole room will be banging their heads on the tables, slapping their knees, and be doubled up in laughter.
Funniness = loudness.

The “Most Uncomfortable Use of ‘Sauce’ Ever” Award goes to Tigress_118 for this comment on How to Be Funny...
Another tip: Stay Away from 'Dirty' (read, stupid) jokes.
You know that relative or distant friend at the party who always squirts awkwardsauce all over the place by telling an off-color joke? Yeah, don't be that person. That's hack territory.
On the other extreme, don't tell 'squeaky clean' (read, stupid) jokes. Nobody over the age of three enjoys them. If you find yourself pretending to knock on doors and addressing yourself as banana over and over until you throw a citrus fruit into the mix, then you aren't entertaining anybody.

LOL Points to...

Superhero001 for this comment on How to Kiss: Kat's Illustrated Guide...
Bahaha. I know EXACTLY what not to do now! Spiders=bad. Noses=bad. Knocking heads=mini explosion=bad. Thanks, I feel well prepared!

ESKan for this comment on Blogging My Babysitting Nightmare...

Disaster? Oh, you mean the time that MONSTER popped out a popgun and started attacking me with paper balls he probably chewed himself. Good times.
At least his parents left cake for me.

illusiondestiny for this comment on A Guide to Successful Sleeping...
I sleep all day. Consider me an expert

loonylovegood15 for this comment on How to Act If You're in a Horror Movie...

#18: Despite what many may think, "Special Hugging" In the middle of an "abandoned" house, in the middle of the night is NOT "Romantic"
...
Or in any way sane.

AsvoriaBlade for this comment on Sidestepping Summer Sibling Squabbles...

The “Nicely Done” Award goes to:
I just lock my little brother in the closet with his Nintendo DS!
But don't worry, he has a litter box in there too =D

annalizfell for this comment on Frenemy Swirl on a Sugar Cone, Please...
@natallia: What are Jesus berries? Are they like blueberries, but with beards and sandals?

minipinkelephant for this comment on TAAOC. D....
my favorite is: (i made this up but i only use it when typing and/or texting) LOLSHTMSFOAIDMTOTWOASVH. (laughing out loud so hard that my sombrero falls off and i drop my taco out the window on a street vendor's head)

The "Why Didn't You Just Submit this for Publication as a Post, You Incredible Lunatic?" Award goes to randomness2325 for this comment on Open Thread for July 10...
