The Effy’s - An “Awards” Ceremony

Over the next few weeks leading into the new year, I will be posting awards (of sorts) for people who are deserving of Effy’s this year. An Effy is a fake award-type-deal that I made up just a few seconds ago. Where does the name Effy come from? I have found that it can be a lot more fun to use the abbreviated form of the F-word. Instead of using that controversial word, I have taken to spelling it out as “eff” on my site quite frequently. Now, I have taken that word and turned it into an award. Or, I guess it would be an anti-award assuming that nobody wants to receive one.

What qualifies a person for an Effy? General boneheadedness is a reason for an Effy. For example, it could be a political bonehead. It could be a celebrity bonehead. It could be someone who is just in the public eye for whatever reason. It could be me. It could be you. Doing something that makes me dislike you qualifies you for an Effy. It could be a conceptual human like, “cheap diner waitress” or “sub-human with whom I interacted in Circuit City.” It could (and most definitely should) include those who are involved in sports. An Effy has many categories that are yet to be discovered.

The only rule is that you must have at least 3 nominees for every award. If you don’t have nominees, then it is just an excuse for bitching. We all know that we don’t need any more of those.

So, have fun with this. Do it on your own sites. Just make sure you attribute it to yours truly. Here come the effies.

Also, fake acceptance speeches from Effy Recipients will be fun but are not required.

So here is the format:

Award Title

Nominee 1 - Reason for being nominated.
Nominee 2 - Reason for being nominated.
Nominee 3 - Reason for being nominated.
Nominee X - Reason for being nominated.

The Winner - The reason for “winning”

(Optional but recommended - Fake Acceptance Speech)
