I read the Gaiman story, it was fun (H. P. Lovecraft treatment of Sherlock Holmes)... anyone read any of the other ones?

Random note: I did a thread search before I posted this to see if anyone had already posted the Hugo Award results... I typed in "Hugo" as my search term, and the most recent thread that came up was the "At the risk of being a prude" one -- http://www.hatrack.com/ubb/forum/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=027215;p=4#000176 -- in which Ela says

Tzimmes and zhug?! Odd combination.
... which reminds me of one of those word games I learned in school where you take someone's name and hide it in a sentence. Ela, you must be great at that game! [Smile]

I missed Gollum's acceptance speech. Maybe it will be a feature on the EE?

I'm going to create an award.

I'm going to call it The Dingle.

Or maybe the Golden Dingle.

I'm dead serious.

More on this later.
