the 28th inductee into utter wonder's hall of fame.

Posted 06/15/2004 08:42 AM by cmonks in > uw hall of fame inductions.

um...hi...can i buy you a drink?Another Tuesday, another UWHOF induction. This will mark the fifth Tuesday in a row that there's been an induction. Wild stuff. In fact, this recent rush of inductions is the largest rush of inductions in the history of the Hall. Since May 18 we've had eight brave and courageous and intestinal fortitudinal souls enter the Hall. That's like 8/27th of the entire membership of the Hall in less than a month! I don't want to get all cocky, but I think it's clear that the blogosphere has a touch of UWHOF fever. And if you're going to be sick, having UWHOF fever is probably the best kind of sick you can be. Don't bother with aspirin or anything, either: let the heat enrapture you. Drink lots of liquids, of course, but other than that just try to sweat it out.

Today's inductee, Jessica Donohoe, clearly has the fever. She saw last week's induction of JadedJu and has been hot and sweaty ever since. Someone get her a Gatorade and a towel! Yowsah! Jessica has a blog of her own, and like many recent inductees she also happens to be a writer. It's wonderful how many writers are in the UWHOF. Their collective grammar skillz are out of this world! Bet they'd Strunk and White with the best of them. Oh how I love competitive Strunking and Whiting! Nothing like it when two competitors battle over the proper usage of a semi-colon or whether titles of books should be in quotations or italics. Scintillating stuff!

While I'm on the subject, I challenge anybody else who has their own blog hall of fame to a Strunk and White Showdown between our respective members. Any place, any time. You name it and my brave and courageous and intestinal fortitudinal inductees will be there with our #2 pencils and matching UWHOF ponchos. Just be prepared to be out Strunked and out White-ed. No crying when you lose either. There's no crying in Strunking and Whiting. Ever.

So let's do as we always do during an enshrinement and stare out our inductees photo for a duration no shorter than five seconds. Begin!

One-Mississippi

Two-Mississippi

Three-Mississippi

Four-Mississippi

Five-Mississippi

Well done! So what do you think of Jessica Donohoe's photo? I'm thinking I need to lock my door and cry for help. If this photo isn't proof that the UWHOF takes in all kinds, I don't know what is. From the looks of it she has a VERY BAD case of UWHOF fever. In this instance it actually might not hurt her to take some aspirin. Maybe some NyQuil, too. She should stick to the recommended dose, though; it appears she's working around some open flames. Is she hanging off the side of a life raft? Not sure. The candles are a nice touch, though. A fire hazard, but they sure do create a mood. Macabre. That's the mood the photographer was going for, I think. Yep, I'm not a fan of the macabre so much. I'm more a "feel good movie of the year" sort of guy. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. No biggie. Looks like Jessica Donohoe is wearing some dark nail polish. That would make her the second inductee in a row to be wearing dark nail polish for their induction photo. Yep. Neat. So I'm not so sure what else to say because quite frankly the more I look at the photograph the more freaked out I get.

So let's just skip ahead and officially induct Jessica Donohoe into Utter Wonder's Hall of Fame. And no matter how disturbing her induction photo is, I am still in awe of her bravery and courage and intestinal fortitude. For her efforts, Jessica Donohoe received a signed copy of a fan letter I wrote Star Jones. Given how she appears in her photo, I think Jessica Donohoe is the perfect candidate for one of my letters to Star Jones. It's right down her alley. Yep. Anyway, as always the invitation to join the UWHOF is always open. Just send me an actual photograph and your blogosphere immortality shall commence!

No aspirin, thanks, and def. no Nyquil: I'm pretty sure what you're seeing there is the result of a Robitussin with Codeine binge. The things a girl will do for induction into the UWHOF are barely believable, I tell you, until you find yourself doing them. I feel better, now. And I'm honored. Thanks.
