That’s awesome.
Now I feel bad for mocking them.
Congrats, but C-Ville will still get zing’d on here. Just wait and see…
::shakes magic eight ball::
“It is certain.”
We’re working on it!
Out’d.
Almost Out’d.. if only they were right! P.S. The Rules!
Congrats!
I was under the impression that a good number of Cville Weekly staffers posted here. Is that true?
ok, ok, I’m Cathy Harding
@8 Thor it’s too early in the morning to scare me like that- stop it!
C-Ville Weekly: Cheaper than the Daily Progress and more interesting than The Hook!
/more liberal than Kucinich, but that’s beside the point
you realize now that you’re mainstream people will stop coming here. oh well. it was fun while it lasted
Absolutemente on the rules…I was thinking the C-Ville press was a little liberal with their interpretation of said rules (what with the rampant speculation and all), but, no worries…
Congratulations on the award, Thor. It’s well deserved.
Kyle is “site-meister Thor”!? Time for a Spicy Bear company meeting, I obviously missed the memo. Does it count as moon-lighting when an employee of company A works at company B, which company A owns, but doesn’t tell company A about it? Is that even possible!?!?!?!
Nice job Thor et al.! I’m glad to be a part of this demented, horny, boozehound, scatophilic site.
It may just be me, but it seems like the CVille is putting us down in their comparison of us and cvillenews. That’s weak.
/all blather all the time
//still awesome we won
Congratulations everyone!
But did they offer to give you ad space in the “best of” issue at a really great rate so you can thank everyone on paper?
/thinks “best of” are overrated and half full of crap
gosh i love the candor on this site!
shit, i thought this was a news site.
@14 OK you covered Shen but what about the rest of us?
cbob, it’s sort of Reaganomics trickle down idea that most of us are often some combination/derivative of those descriptors. Those that are not “provide” “useful” “practical” “readable” “information”.
So if this site now names them as the best paper old media outlet, we can start a self congratulatory mobius strip of recursive shaft stroking that will cause the entire internet to fold into the printing presses creating a vast slurping black hole of opinion, bias and self importance.
Wait. Make that the BEST slurping black hole of opinion, bias and self importance of 2008.

More on-topic: Do many people here read cvillenews? I recognize a few similar names.
Moron topic: Randomus nonsensiculum latinae phrasum.
this is awesome. well done spicybears.
so does this mean you will put up a big C-VILLE NEWS sticker on the Spicy Bear window?
@28: BYo saved Latin
I had never been onto cvillenews before, but it’s really not bad. I mean, all of of the stories that they are carrying are linked from other news sources, so it’s a nice compendium. But…that’s pretty much what we do too right? The difference, of course being that we then we make fun of it and Shen types in French.
I’ve always wondered if the “winners” were picked from those who are the sources of the most ad revenue.
I have always read cvillenews. It’s refreshing to read insightful, knowledgeable comments about local issues that I might not know a lot about. I also like the writer’s style…the humor is usually smart and sarcastic.
Now in the interest of the code and general anonymity, will Thor receive the award with a bag over his head, or via satellite with a pixelated face and voice distortion, or send a proxy?
As a long-time reader and advertiser, cvillenews.com is solid, but I wish he’d post more often. There’s certainly a difference in stories as well, not to mention how the comment threads usually go.
Right on, kids!
Awesome.
You-s guy-s are my favorite, for sure. And your kind words and attention to my nerdy, little garden blog has been beyond cool.
Thanks for everything . . . Keep up the snarkiness in all of its wonderful forms.
It feels soooooooo gud.
Are there any other c-ville blog sites? I don’t think there are many to chose from…
Congrats cVillain! I’ve been lurking for a while and I have to say this really is the best local blog I’ve seen, even if that means I’m agreeing with something coming out of C-Ville.
/shudders at the thought
Tons. There are so many bloggers in this area. http://www.cvilleblogs.com is a good place to read many of them.
Congrats, everyone!
I’m upset that they didn’t pick “Pooping at Work” as one of their sample posts they pulled to make us look ridiculous.
@41, Shen, that one seemed like a gimme. But, I think the topic is a universal wink wink nudge nudge that everyone is cool with.
Shouldn’t congratulations also be in order for Shenanigans winning “Best Toy Store”?
/thanks, folks. I’ll be here all week.
I know!. I’m really proud.
Hooray! *claps*
WTF- Shenanigans has bullied her way on to local transit
She cannot be stop!
@46: The Code! You just posted a pic of Shen. Now we all know what her face and tiny fingers look like.
/She cannot be stop, indeed.
That’s not a pic of me that’s mine and Parlie’s lovechild.
This deserves it’s own post, but I’m not going to do that; even though I have absolutely no work to do today. Joya McMurray, the winner of Best Bartender, is quickly becoming one of my favorite bartenders in this city. Don’t worry ‘nanigans, you’re still my favorite, but Joya has all the qualities I look for in a bartender. She’s creative (ask to try both her shot and her drink), personable, and most importantly, she’s fast. If you haven’t met her, go by Zocalo sometime this weekend. I’m sure she’ll be working one night. Oh, and tell her echo sent you. It might help me a get a free drink or two next time I’m in there.
Joya can suck it. She was hitting on my bf, oh wait ex bf last week. Then he came over to tell me about it and we broke up. Thanks!!!!
@50: That’s too bad… it sounds like you two were meant to be.
/slow day
@50: Oops…I had no idea. As I said before, you’re still my favorite.
I don’t wanna be anyone’s favorite. Just give me your money.
Tonight or tomorrow?
