Taking a few minutes off work . . . sorry Lucy . . . this had to be done . . . I was spending a few minutes cruising around The Orwell Prize website, readying myself for a reply to Katriona Lewis on our unfortunate early cut from the Orwell Prize.
It was at then that I happened upon The Special Prize, awarded at the judges sole discretion!

I am poised to press “send” on sent my reply to Katriona, a comment on The Special Prize page, and to last year’s blog judge, Gaby Hinsliff
Here is the header of the message to Gaby Hinsliff:
Hi Gaby,
Nice artickled my fancy running into you here, of all places!
As a past judge for The Orwell Prize, I thought you may want to see what I am sending them right now:
This is the header of the message to Katriona Lewis:
Hi Katriona,
I just left the following message on your website, as well as our website, and also to Gaby Hinsliff. But why Gaby Hinsliff, you may ask? I just feel that climbing mountains is a sport? I don’t quite know yet . . .
Here is the body of the message:
Hello.
Unfortunately, our blog, called ARG MetaPhoria, did not make the longlist “cut” yesterday. How would one go about being considered for The Special Prize?Our website could be considered to be “apolitical artwork,” which runs somewhat counter to George Orwell’s dream, but the “work” we are doing is to change this dystopian “system” into a utopian peer-to-peer network. We call the current system “The Crying Game ARG.”
The “apolitical” side of our site is to loosely weave past, present and future events into the storyline, using the premise that government is an invalid force against us, and to wake people up to the little known power they have as a combined neural net.
The “art” is that we have created a free speech site where we use humour and a storyline to meander along to our goal . . . a story that has no ending.
The “work” in artwork is a new currency called MetaFlorin . . . created by, and for the 7 billion people on this planet.
I hope that you consider us for The Special Prize. I will also send this comment along as a reply to Katriona Lewis, Gaby Hinsliff, last year’s blog judge, as well as posting it on our website as part of the story.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,

I was a somebody there . . . for 5 minutes . . . I feel like a bit of a tit now.
Next . . . The Orwell Prize. I just pressed “post,” as I forgot to do it before . . . does that mean I lied on my posting?
I was wandering around the net as an after dinner treat, and quickly spotted a cool Arthur C Clarke Award article about Christopher Priest, so I sent him a message. Oh, and this is the original article Christopher Priest wrote on his own site.
I felt a little claustrophobic in that tiny box, so I kept it short . . .

Hi Christopher,
I loved your recent opinions on the Arthur C Clarke Award; refreshingly candid.
Maybe you would be interested in our meandering SciFi travels from MetaPhoria to The Orwell Prize?
We didn’t get longlisted yesterday, even though we meet and exceed Orwell’s Dream . . .
You may (or may not) like our style . . . we definitely tell it like it is.
To save you time, here is a link to our response today on our blog/blovel:

Consider yourself in ARG MetaPhoria over your massive missive.
Bye.

Er, Weebley. We need to talk. What did you write on the back of that napkin?
Hi Doctor Sternum! I didn’t hear the door. Are you back now?
Not quite. I’m passing through Kentucky.
Are you still with . . . The Band?

Come on, Weebley. How are you going to get the 2 and a half men back? What’s your idea?
Er . . . firstly, they need to synchronise their phase detractors.
I mean their cardinal grammeters.
Huh?
After I left Rockwell Automation, they improved on my ideas . . . a stationery transmission!

Hmm. The retroencabulator? Sounds good . . . on paper!
Exactly! That’s what I’m banking on.
But the anti-egomotronics’ blind random sampling generator would be able to randomise the parameters pan-dimensionally, to produce a clearer signal.
Good point, Agent Pete 8, but a key point is that pan-dimensionalisation causes the viscosity of the WD-8000 to manestically space out the VCF cut-off at 42.
Oh my God . . . thanks!
Back to the drawing board . . . I can now paint the picture!
ffs Weebley, that’s a mixed MetaPhoria. Christopher will think you are an English Judas.
Funny. That’s if he comes here. Did you read his article? It was fantastic!
Does that mean you don’t want to hear about Mu Mu? I have to hat-tip Revolver for that tip.
Ah yes. Did you have a 99?
I did. They still have no master plan . . . just like us!
Oh, and Weebley, you retard . . . it’s a Cadbury’s Flake . . . not a Flaky . . . you flaky.
Really? We all called them Flakies.
Hey, Doctor Sternum. Remember when I said that there was going to be a big copyright fight after The Orwell Prize thing happened?
I was wrong.
Anyway, I’m off to bed. See you tomorrow back in Toronto ARGonaut Land?
Well, we’ll be coming through alright . . . we’re justified . . . the direction of the fight has not touched down . . . yet.
Goodnight ,Weebley and Pete 8 . . . and Christopher “The Judas” Priest?

AW, Howdy and Hi, and haven’t you been busy,
Maybe Gaby is conferring with the Mumsnet crowd for advise on what to do with IT which offers powerful controls that transcend gender issues and would more recognise the beauty in intelligence phorms rather than base earthly forms gratuitously enhanced artificially as a substitute for the real thing …… and which in most every case is just as a crutch to help one on one’s way to whatever one would be dreaming of and failing to achieve by natural means? Methinks the whole world clutches at those types of straws when failing.
Hi amanfronMars,
Yep, it sure was a busy day! Check this out:

I wonder when Doctor Sternum is getting back . . . Lucy hasn’t called me yet . . . I’ve been on a job all day.

Past judges of the past… a sad story which fruit is to be rocked in a new craddle. Why & why do us still have the hope as it says loose it – to find IT?! Best of the wishes and a part of our luck – that’s what is expecting anyone on this path.. sorrow, to some extent.
Anyone to start It with “Once there was a time when…”?
A vacancy to be filled up immediately.
10…
Hi Agent Revolver, I hope you’re not meaning 10 Downer Street?
Hi, Agent Weebley. Not yet (-:
10 Sesame Street?
Sesame Street – jazzy spies # 10
Wow. Excellent.
9…
Hi, Sternum. Arabica is bitter. Thanks to the man with nearly no heart. North met him with too cold air. Some closer-to-southern weather is getting yet colder.
7. Amongst those trillions, I couldn’t find $35 to Bill the Real in Time (-: Anyway, thanks. What would you do with it?… Me has same problem.
But making videos rule. Hope I shot the Duck. Miss DelKey here.
