It's an Award - and it's a Sign!
I have created this award badge as a clear signal to the visitors of those blogs that carry it. It is intended to be a sign that says: "this blog is cool & crazy, and the blog owner is not afraid to admit it".It is for those bloggers that I think are really Cool -- and I suspect they are a little Crazy too.
They are running their blogs to be a true reflection of their own personality and they stick to it. They are providing an atmosphere that makes their visitors feel welcome as members of their blogs' community. They manage to use the right tone of voice, write about an inspiring choice of subjects and treat their visitors and their fellow bloggers as friends. And they all do that without taking themselves or their blogs too serious, in spite of all the time and the crazy hard work they put into it.
I am handing out this first batch of gold label Cool & Crazy awards to those bloggers that I know are -- rightfully so -- very proud of their blogs, each in their own cool and crazy ways:

Wow! That is a great award buddy and I'm honored to be included in your list. Thanks, I really appreciate it :)
What Jos, I'm not Cool and Crazy?
Colin, I am glad you like it and I am sure you fir the description ;)
Take Care & Have Fun, -Jos:)
Hello Winston, you are very much welcome, because you are a col blogger (and at least a little bit crazy).. ;P
Brown, this Cool & Crazy list would not be healthy without you on it! You put the 'oo' in Cool and the 'az' in Crazy, lol!
Hi Teach, I don't know you well and long enough to be able to 'offend' you by nominating you as cool and crazy -- but I guess your comment puts you firmly on the runners-up list ;P
Well I am so totally honored! I knew I was crazy but now I'm cool too! Thanks Jos!
Dawn, take my word for it... ;)
-Jos
Thanks Jos. I have a post up. Have a great day. :)
Great award! I came here from Sandee at Comedy Plus.
:-D)
Hi Lois, nice to see you here. It's nice that you like the award :)
Would you want me "to pencil you in" for the next batch? Any friend of Sandee would qualify, I guess ;))
-Jos
Way to go, Sandee! By accepting this award so gracefully, there's no more denying: You are Cool, and perhaps a little Crazy! It is nice to see that you passed it on to so many other "Cool and perhaps a little Crazy bloggers" -- my congrats to all of them.
There would be no offense, Jos! I can wait!
Thanks Jos!
I will try and post this as soon as I can!
oh thank you Mr Jos....
I know I'm crazy....more so each day ...as I watch my authority drop by the minute at technorati.....and now it seems my links back to others have no authority either .....eek
so... I'm honoured that you are recognising me despite the fact that my blog has been and is ignored at technorati ;)
this is a very cool award and I will certainly display this in my next post...
it's so reassuring to be included with such a wonderful group of cool and crazy people :)
Ms Kim
Kim,
[verb removed by author] Technorati!
They are either "borked" or on crack ;))
Thanks for accepting this Genuine Gold Label silly award!
-Jos
Bucky, there was no other choice... you fit the description, buddy! :))
Teach, why wait if you can be called Cool and Crazy now?? I have added you. So here goes: "I hereby declare The Teach to be Way Cool & Certifiably Crazy!"
-Jos=)
Jos, you can't know...you made my day...get me some tissues...Hip, hip Hooray! No, it's really sweet to respond to my groveling...Thanks very much, Jos!! :)
Thank you Jos!Another lovely award to add to my very growing collection!Happy Holidays!
Teach, you earned it :)
Now you've got to live up to it! Lol. No more 'tissues'. Be Cool! ;))
-Jos
Kimberly, it is the season of the awards, I guess.. But hey, this one is Cool and Crazy and will match nicely with your 'Little Nutty' ;))
Take Care, froggy
Brilliant idea! We are crazy, we are cool, and we are confident about it!
Word.
Hey, Jos, come visit me at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/ for some holiday hugs!
Thanks Jos :) Sorry I'm a little late to the party. Been busy with one thing or another lately ;P
@ fullbodytransplant: Yes, that is the spirit!
@ Mike: it's never too late for a party, buddy! Cheers!
-Jos:))
Believe it or not, your Cool and Crazy award has left me without a prepared long acceptance speech! No doubt, the Blogging Academy Awards is ecstatic to hear me say this?
I am honored to receive this cool award from a Brilliant Blogger!
Thank you for your holiday gifts, Jos!
Thanks to Google's OpenID, this comment was posted by Debbie
Hi Debbie,
That would be the "Bloscar".. lol!
I am happy you graciously accepted the award -- kinda proves that I was right ;)
And those speeches, well, all they do is thank their mom and dad for supporting them in their pursuit of a career anyway -- which would maybe have left your parents wondering where they went wrong, in this case :)
Welcome to the Club! Sorry there's no red carpet..
To receive a Blogging Bloscar, do I need a special waiver from the Writers Strike?
ROFL
Thanks to Google's OpenID, this comment was posted by Debbie
Heck, no! (since you have a wordless acceptance speech)
Jos, thank you my dear friend!!!! My FIRST award for my new place. I hope to start work on it after Christmas. You are so good to me. Thank you for the smile. :-)
Paula, it is the least I can do. I am sure this little award will be the first of many more tokens of recognition and affirmation that will come flooding your new blog soon, and I am glad it caused a little smile!
Thank You Jos! Only you could come up with such a wonderful Award badge – lol. Oh how I try not to let People know of my crazy side, my near escape from the blogosphere asylum. Yet little by little you reveal the most hidden secrets of the best of us bloggers, including the I’m a little Nutty Award. Heck, so what, yes I am - well perhaps, yes a little Crazy am I!
@ Jeane Michelle: I am sorry for being a little late in replying to your comment. I have been hit by a little virus, but everything is fine now. Yes, of course this award goes to you too! You're a perfect match to the description! :))
