No one deserves a Leo… because we are just that great.
But Romeo + Juliet Award was brilliant. DiCaprio is at his peak baby-dyke in that one…
Ta, I do like tea and scorns.
Goodness, Chandra, are we saddled with a comment award? ‘Tis a fine crop of puns we’ve raised, a veritable welter. And if Snaelle or Deli Twotone should care to add to our acceptance speech, either one, why, leather rip! Together we are indomme-itable.
Oh my, you’ve already unleashed so many puns off the cuff that I’d better crack the whip if I want to join in.
I’ve always heard it’s better to give than to receive…so don’t you think we should give it enthusiastically to those who may be feeling under-represented?
The comment award, I mean.
sounds like Snaelle’s a top…notch person
I was busy bottoming out on alcohol when the Comment Awards went down.
Iarrann mé be I’m feelin’ Queer, Girl this moaning. Chandra and lightning whenever I open my eyes.
I’ll be moving at a Snaelle’s pace today,
Thank you for the comment award, now I have an answer if I’m ever asked what my greatest achievement is.
Thank you for The Cuddle Puddle Award
Y’all are effing superstars!
But seriously, Snaelle has been Buffy the Vampire Slaying it this week (highest gay nerd praise).
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYING IT
AMIDOLA
I’m not blushing, I’m just hot.
We all had Faith in her.
In fact we’d stake our reputation on her
QG is on fire with the gifs today
Ahh thanks again for this momment in the sun! Such perfect punsters all around.
looking forward to your next album, Ottergirl…
Onnit!
I would also like to thank Heather Hogan for inspiring queer girl to accept an award.
Because really qg, nobody deserves it more than you do <3 <3 <3.
Awwww snaelle ??
You are the best QG. You inspire us to rise up at every occasion.
The Comment Awards, and maybe most especially the Comments on the Comment Awards, is just the best place to be on the Interwebs.
THANK YOU !
K I’m going back into hiding, hangover baaaad
This is without a doubt the greatest award I’ve ever received, but the best thing of all is being in such good company!
As a very gay bookworm and a former cataloguer, I simply loooove your classification system.
Sorry Library of Congress, you’ve been topped by the Library of Hella Gay Congress.
definitely putting autostraddle comment award on my resume
