Well to put aside an arguably undeserved reputation for apparently being "funniest" to be serious -
belated thanks to all.
Sorry to have missed the ceremony - the tardiness of my acknowledgement not being a calculated pose of feigned disinterest and too-cool-for-school studied aloofness, but a simple combination of not being aware when it was on, and not having logged in for a while due to pre-Christmas business !!
Commiserations to my fellow finalists - thanks to all the generous souls who voted, and praise to all those doing the thankless organisation and admin involved in such a process.
I have to say an unexpected result, and I can't quite resist the temptation to view this as something of a sentimental "long service medal" for just hanging on in here after all this time rather than being truly deserved for what I personally see as a significantly less active year for myself on the forum during 2017.
Lately it does indeed seem that the shows are increasingly appearing - unintentionally, or even by unfair and over-contrived design within the Funny Babeshows Screencaps thread
- to be so absurd as to almost defy parody. Familiarity breeds contempt and we always bite the hand that feeds.
But sometimes they can also make it so so easy to sink the teeth in, and while the temptation in the heat of the moment may be to aggressively and vituperatively savage about the many many instances on the part of the channels of apparently intentional, unintentional, or paranoidly-assumed-to-be-cynically-calculated idiocies of presentation, scheduling, programming, attitude, performance, the list goes on......,maybe it is sometimes also equally valid to (hopefully) gently mock without becoming excessively abusive or personal, even if this attempt at mockery often appears, even in the eye of its creator, to often become excessively indulgent or to stray into ever-more wilfully contrived or obscure territory.
If it may appear at times that some babes are singled out for this treatment more than others, I can honestly say this is not due to vindictiveness, it is more likely a back-handed compliment being a simple reflection of the equation that the more of a particular babe I watch, the more likely there is to arise an unfortunate screengrab capable of willful misrepresentation and mockery. The babes that should "worry" - as if the lack of appearance in Funny Babeshow Screencaps thread should be a cause of worry, I suspect it is not a subject that keeps many well-coiffured heads tossing sleeplessly on downy scented pillows - are the ones I never appear to mock - simple message being I don't watch you enough to be bothered to try to make fun of you. Like they should be bothered. How ridiculously presumptive.
Congratulations to all others - nice to see some recognition for some different names, and to see some consistent stalwarts also rightly rewarded.
Best wishes to all for a peaceful and prosperous Christmas and New Year
again.
