Even though we are officially now in 2009, we have gotten word that nominations are now underway for the 2008 Okie Blog Awards. We're not sure why they are just now accepting nominations for an award that was due last year, but I guess that's how they do things.
The awards are put together and organized by Mike at OkieDoke. In 2007, The Lost Ogle was nominated in two categories: Best Overall Blog and Best Humor Blog. Fittingly, we didn't win either category. In the Best Overall Blog category we were topped by a lady who posts recipes and pictures of children running through fields. The runner-up was a blog written by a guy who's blogged every day since 1974 and has a shoe fetish.
