āGloriousā is an understatement.
Man, thatās almost enough to make me want to pay for a voting membership. Not quite, but almost.
I mean, to be fair, āSpace Raptor Butt Invasionā is probably the greatest book title of all time.
But seriously, I like this guy. Although Iām not sure how much the poopies will care about Quinn, since they also put Lois McMaster Bujold on their slate. She asked to be removed, and they refused, so if she wins (and thatās a real possibility since sheās won a lot) sheās also got a platform from which to denounce them.
he may be weird, but I think the author should also get the āHappy Mutantā badge
Isnāt being weird a prerequisite?
I think youāre overlooking the gem
- Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt
And its sequels:
- Pounded In The Butt By My Book āPounded In The Butt By My Own Buttā,
- Pounded In The Butt By My Book āPounded In The Butt By My Book āPounded In The Butt By My Own Buttāā, and
- Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book
āPounded In The Butt By My Book āPounded In The Butt By My Own Buttāā"
I had no idea that behind the scenes, awards were filled with such rancor and chicanery. Itās fascinating to observe; like a family dinner where, for once, Iām just an observer.
I mean thatās good and all, but it lacks the dinosaur aspect. And also the space part.
Although it is indeed tedious, it is worth noting that the distinction between the āsadā and ārabidā puppy factions was made far more clear this year, since it turned out that the āsadā faction had little to no impact on the nominations. Much as I donāt like either of them for their posturing or their political positions, the last couple of yearās hijackings are pretty much entirely due to the ārabidā group (or, rather, entirely due to the person behind it); the āsadā puppies turned out to be, well, just sad.
I donāt think that this, admittedly amusing, response by Tingle is going to change the minds of too many potential voters though.
That cover. Jesus. The kerning! The space between the L and the Aāyou could drive a truck through ohhhhā¦
The kerning in that whole word is a mess. People used to respect kerning. Why, I remember as a boy my father tipping his hat to the local kerner as weād pass him on the street. Pops was quite thankful to him, you see, for ensuring my eyes and nose were correctly spaced in relation to each other.
This is new. Some random group of internet assholes has been doing this for a couple years.
Quoted because itās worth repeating. This guy is brilliant.
So havenāt the puppies succeeded? Arenāt the Hugos discredited completely? Why are they still doing it?
However, Space Raptor Butt Invasion is indeed a great title.
I donāt like the rabid puppies for the positions, and I donāt like their opponents for the posturing.
This Chuck Tingle kerfuffle is probably the only thing that could have possibly made me visit a Hugo thread (and laffs were had - thanks, Mr. Tingle! Iām still not reading your stuff 
).
Why have I not been following this guy on Twitter already?!
Come to papa, you gloriously bizarre being, you.
Ah, the Buttesseract anthology.
