Posted by Les on March 11, 2012 at 10:45 PM


Greetings Manic Fans.  Les here to bring the Outstanding Blog of the Week for March 3rd-10th.  Sorry this is late, my friends.  Daylight savings time, combined with a severe case of my daughter’s insomnia....well...this took longer to write and post than normal.  Moving on.  OMG!  You guys put out some fantastic blogs this week, making it as hard as usual to select a winner for the award.  Honorable Mentions include:

Lindgren who posted a great new series to review the Pixar movie shorts:

For Videos we had:

Jockerlee77 posted a video expressing his views on a recent CNN show in which Kirk Cameron was asked about his opinions on Gays and Gay Marriages.  What impressed me about his reaction was the level headed way he acknowledged Kirk’s right to his opinion, even if he didn’t agree with it.  Well done, Jockerlee77.

Those of you who read this blog regularly will probably notice that the Honorable Mentions list is growing bigger and bigger.  I can’t help it.  With the new talent signing up at Manic Expression, I find I really must acknowledge the amazing blogs that are being posted here....but the time has come to award a winner.

This week, I’m giving the Outstanding Blog of the Week to

Gregg
Who posted the funniest video review I’ve seen in a long time(And I really needed to laugh this week LOL)  He did a really professional job reviewing the cult-classic b-movie Starcrash.
Starcrash Review  March 10  

I’m serious, my friends.  This review was as good as, if not better than anything being done by any of the stars of Channel Awesome for it’s fresh comedy and perfect clip posting as well as it’s spot-on analysis of the more ludicrous aspects of the film.  So, I hope you’ll all raise your glasses and join me in a toast.  “Here’s to you, Gregg.  Thanks for the laughs and may your wit only grow sharper as you post these wonderful videos.”

The Outstanding Blog of the Week is awarded for the week from Saturday to Saturday and posted(usually) on Sunday Morning.  If you have a blog or want to recommend one for this award, Message me and I’ll consider it.  Than you for giving up some of your time to help honor a fellow member.  Peace.

Hi alexthed. Yeah, I decided at the first awarding of the Outstanding Blog of the Week that selecting one of mine constituted a conflict of interest(or my collab with Manic_Expression on why Bella Swan is such a horrible role model would surely have won the first award LOL). I thought our collab on the top 12 rock songs with great keyboard work was a great blog, though. Thanks for commenting, my friend. Peace.

Hmm, I was hoping your involvement would put our article on top, but if you didn't pick your own, I guess bias isn't going to play into it. :)
