I'd like to nominate Jason Sanford and the entire staff of the StorySouth Million Writers Award Committee for the Nemo Hill Pan-Galactic Hyperbolic Award for Award Chutzpah for 2012, and suggest we stage a Million Poet March in their honor. (Since they're an internet journal, possibly we could all tramp up and down in front of our computers.) I haven't laughed so hard at one of these Lantrian announcements since you put up the one over a year ago, Bill, about being in the inaugural issue of a new Bosnia & Herzegovina journal, and Philip Quinlan, congratulating you, indicated that he'd found that market a tough one to crack and suggested the Ukraine, indicating, "Fertile ground. Not all tractors, as some would have you believe."
As others have indicated, congrats to all, and it's good to see a lively literary community and web presence, but let's not get swept away when a small journal with a bent for hyperbole runs a small contest among its readers and comes up with a huge name for the award.
