Another blogland award… Nope… Three! Three blog awards to go with the 12.12.12 thing. Awesome!

Well, I don’t want to sound like I’m getting cocky because we all know that is Pauly’s job on team foodisthebestshitever, but this week I have discovered three more nominations for blog awards (granted one was from a while back but that’s what happens when you hit the big-time. Things slip through the gaps. But not you peeps, you will never slip through. I shall remember the little guy… mostly because he is a stinky little carnie who won’t turn Fleetwood Mac down!). I have noticed with blogland awards that there is a certain amount of criteria you have to fulfil to accept the award, which can be a little time consuming. I’m a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-do-whatever-the-eff-I-want kinda guy, so I figure I can just sort the whole lot out at once and get it over with so I can go back to talking about food. So if it seems a tad regurgitated that’s because it is. I will not sugar coat it for you. If it was a donut, totally different story. I would sugar coat the shit out of that… Now, I don’t want to seem rude but… actually, I love sounding rude. Different type of rude though maybe…

I also think it needs to be noted that someone should get onto designing some decent logos for these awards. K? K.

My theory is simple. I combine all of the awards in one crazy mash-up and answer the requirements for three blog awards in one foul swoop. I shall call it the “foodisthebestshitever award for simplicity, getting on with poking fun at life and just being tops in general”. On with the show!

Thank you smallworldbigmouth, rabbitcancook and chieats for the nominations for the Leibster Award, Inspiring Blog Award and The Versatile Blogger Award (in that order). I love you guys. I really do.

7 Random Facts About Myself… Grazza
1. I am quite tall. I am 6’4″ish. I’m pretty sure that’s tall. A lot of people tell me I’m tall, but that may just be because I live in a community of very observant midgets.
2. I used to own a skateboard company and indoor skatepark. I don’t skate so much anymore because I am an old man, and I whinge a lot about my knees and ankles hurting.
3. I think I am at least reasonably funny. Well, I know there are heaps of people in the world who aren’t funny at all anyway.
4. I love the Star Wars movies. They are my favourite movies to watch ever. My actual single favourite movie would be Snatch, or maybe Fight Club.
5. I am in the process of writing a comic book and two cook books. One of the cook books I am writing with Pauly and should hopefully be out early next life time.
6. I love old skool sneakers.
7. I can wield a spray can with a certain level of effect. Mostly in my house and on canvases but I also do mural workshops for local communities.
