This week, I discovered a blog called Brass Goggles, which celebrates the joyous anachronisms of Steampunk, and as someone who has a degree covering that period, well, it is interesting stuff to me, what with all the gears and cranks and brass.
Now, I admit that at times I am rather hard to impress, but somehow Tinkergirl, while perusing another forum discovered a most magnificent piece of firearm artistry: a Scrollwork engraved MP5K. Being Canadian, I am not huge on guns, but looking at that piece of work makes even me wonder if I've been mistaken these past few decades. I am in awe.
And in honor of this sense of wonder I feel, I just had to go with a bit of Homer Simpson iconography that represented that 19th century feeling. Some of you may recognize it as something you've seen rather recently. I am pleased to award this week's Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award to Tinkergirl. Huzzah!
Congratulations Tinkergirl. Here is a badge that you are free to use on your own site if you wish.
The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogosphere to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.
Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.
