…not to be confused with loser, boozer, bruiser, user or even cruiser… I am officially a shmoozer.
First I was told I was a blog-tease. Now… I’ve been given (by Sylvied) the power of shmooze award.

I’m quite pleased with it. I’d like to thank Sylvie, and in return, bestow it upon five more people who will in turn, save the image, post it in their blog’s sidebar, write a post bragging to all of their readers, and hopefully know five people they’d like to pass it on to. I know some of you have already received it, so I’ll try not to double donk you.
Mark, Hazel, John, Joey and Jayleen… come on down!
Honestly though, please don’t bestow it upon the loser, boozer, bruiser, user or cruiser listed above. It’ll just hurt my feelings.
Well, maybe not, and maybe I wouldn’t care if you gave it to the boozer or the bruiser but the others I just have to draw the line at.

Is this Canada – I’m wearing the wrong clothes? Mind you I look good in a bikini don’t you think?
You’re a great schmoozer!
Comment by Daddy Papersurfer July 21, 2007 @ 3:19 AMWell, I heard you look good on a mountie too. Rotflmao. I do get around.
Comment by fracas July 21, 2007 @ 5:19 AM[...] Getting the award was thrilling, but also a little bewildering. A Schmoozer? Me? Cool! Then reality set in. Who to choose? How well do I know my neighborhood bloggers? Who among them are queenly or kingly schmoozers? I began a list, and checked it twice, D’oh! Two of my picks are already gone. (John C. Mark Steele) [...]

Comment by Hazel July 21, 2007 @ 3:19 PMMy milk keeps dropping. You are evil. You need to make good on the child support, for the sake of your baby, fracas.
Comment by JohnC July 21, 2007 @ 3:31 PMThese efforts at manipulation won’t work. Milk doesn’t come in (which is how they say it in my part of the world) until after the baby is born. Therefore you are the evil one… trying to fool the good fraccy readers into thinking you have milk. And besides… how do I even know it *is* my baby? You have quite the reputation I hear. You’ve been all over everyone’s blogs… and particularly the newcomers. Did you think we wouldn’t notice?
Shameful. Just shameful.
Comment by fracas July 21, 2007 @ 4:54 PM[...] Fracas has dubbed me a Schmooze Blogger, and I simply couldn’t be happier! In her acceptance, she put up a definition that Schmoozing is to converse informally : to chat in a friendly and persuasive manner especially so as to gain favor, business, or connections. [...]
