Wankitudinosity

The Irregulars know from wank. And if there's one thing we at ESI Inc. believe we deserve, it is the acknowledgement, nay, adulation, of our peers.

Or not, especially after being stiffed so often in the past by multiple blog awards committees, undeserved slights that have all been chronicled in excruciating detail by our (very short) resident conspiracy theorist.

So I note with complete bafflement, appalled alarm, etc., that we were unaccountably omitted from this week's "Top 100 Wankers of the Year" list, in the newstand issue of Frank Magazine. (Shurely shome mishtake...? --4d ) Not only were we bumped from first place -- a clear error on the part of the judging panel, and one that would lead me to question if they were: a) sober, or; b) bought off -- but we didn't even get on the damn list! Outrage!

Granted, winner of the coveted Number One position is Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, who has acquitted himself admirably by putting his foot (and possibly other body parts...) into it, on a buncha well-documented occasions over the past coupla years. Then denying it. The Hon. Peter is a palpable wanker.

But c'mon! Anybody who reads us regularly -- or who drops by only once, totally by accident, for that matter -- knows that wankitudinosity is a major part of our brand recognition. (Um, okaaay, it's all of our brand recognition. Now shaddup, go away, and stop buggin' me, kid.)
