A: Let's say yes.

Q: What are you doing right this minute?

A: Nothing! Nothing important! With that in mind, I urge you to run not walk to The Best Stuff in the World and vote for T.A.M.S.Y.!

The Best Stuff in the World, by the way, is the totally awesomeest way to waste time I've ever seen in my whole life, and I've seen a lot of wasted time. It's sort of like its Web 2.0 brethren digg or del.icio.us or YouTube, except instead of aggregating your favorite articles or Web sites or amateur guitar videos, it aggregates everything in existence -- like, for instance, these things...


-- and then lets you vote for those things as "the best" in any category that you can find and/or think of. Like, for instance, these things:

Don't see a candidate you like? Add him or her or it yourself, along with some hot stolen borrowed pictures and a description! And then nominate it for more categories, including some you just invented! And then try to explain to me why no one knows about this!? It's like Wikipedia's hotter but slightly retarded younger sister!!! BEST THING EVER!!!!

So anyways. Last night, I noticed that the Best Blog category was looking a little anemic, so I racked my brain to think of a good candidate and then realized, Oh, right, MINE. And then I noticed there were some other categories that seemed logical choices, like "The Best Site For Answers," and "The Best Humorous Blog," and "The Best Thing To Do After Sex." And then I voted the shit out of them.

The problem is that I just checked my tally and it now looks like this.

Nobody thinks T.A.M.S.Y. is the best!? NOOOOOOOO
Oh God, the embarassment. The shame. The weeping and gnashing of teeth. It's bad enough to spend 10 minutes voting for yourself in a popularity contest no one's heard of without some jerkoff negative-voting for you a few hours later. UPDATE: There's no such thing as negative voting. I had accidentally canceled my own vote. So I'm the only jerkoff here. Yay!

The good news is that I'm still only two votes behind Gawker. So please, readers, let your voices be heard! So that my voice can be heard of! By 20 people in Australia!
