OMG Autostraddle exploded with comments this past week! Everybody and their homophobic neighbor had feelings to share during our Maine & Washington Gay Marriage Election Day āLive-Blogā! (We may have lost some civil rights, but we totally came out on top in terms of OH SNAP! comments.) While so many of you were heartfelt, and poignant, and amazing, and we love you… we’d like to bring a little levity this Friday, since we’re all still reeling from the election results (and the World Series).
There were many joyous things worth celebrating this week, like the helpful lesbian hints/humor offered in How To Pick Up Chicks: A Lesbian Guide to Getting Girl-on-Girl Action, and the lucky Autostraddlers named in Tegan & Sara āSainthoodā Winners Announced! (Even those who didn’t win can appreciate the adorable announcement video by Intern Hot Laura.) This was also The Week The World Discovered the Awesomeness of Gay Halloween, and I finally got to reveal a girlcrush I’ve held onto for 10 years. You take the good; you take the bad; you take them both, and there you have… this week’s Commenter Awards.
Your Life Is Now Complete Award goes to nosidam on Autostraddle Reader Rewards: Hey Did You See That Comment Friday!: “I feel like my life will be complete when a comment on the ācomment friday” post becomes one of the chosen comments for the next week.”

Lovely! Iāll be awaiting feedback. ;)
wait a minute, there are going to be OTHER people on the island with me and laneia? whatever. i’ll cream all of you in the elimination rounds. bring your volleyballs, people, because y’all are gonna be lonely.
she said cream.
i actually paused while typing and considered my use of cream, then went with it.
Don’t make me go all Lord of the Flies on your ass, cuz I swear I will do it. Or we could form an alliance. Come towards the light!
sucks to your ass-mar, sapphicsass! (meet me on the beach and we’ll talk strategy.)
Laniea (dear god i hope i spelled it right… i even said the letters out loud in attempt to remember) is so right. Whenever the Mormon blues are gettin’ me down, I think to myself: “Yeah, you may have your monogamy, but look at the 5 wives you’re stuck with.”
i just realized what a perfect halloween costume that would be — hot lesbian in drag w/ other hot lesbians dressed as mormon wives. even w/ the crazylong hair & skirts, they’d still be hot lesbians. HOT LESBIANS DRESSED AS MORMON FUNDAMENTALISTS.
or mormon fundamentalists dressed as hot lesbians!!! yea, i know. not as cool.
1. i love all of these comments.

2. we need to get bcw on twitter. i’ve been thinking this for some time now, but the time for thinking has passed. it’s time for action. it’s action time. GET ON IT, ‘dubs. [that’s my nickname-nickname for bcw. she probs <3’s it. yeah.]

3. using the barter system and some quality walnut oil/dryer lint/chocolate cake, i would like to PAY SOMEONE to take another picture of me. please.
i don’t understand twitter and i fear things that i don’t understand. i recently voted to deny twitter its right to hashtags. sounds like wacky tobaccky to me.
listen to me, bcw — it’s imperative that i be able to read your most random/carefully crafted 140-character thoughts at all times. don’t resist. twitter will be dead soon anyway so you really have to get in on this while you still can.

brb i’m going to sign you up.
Aw shucks, I’m honoured. That Box fellow… he was fun.
The Box guy reminded me of the Berlin Wall…he represented so much evil in the world but it was fun to tear him down.
<3
that’s what she said!
