January Is International Ugly Object Voting Month!

It’s January, y’all! What is our favorite January activity, you ask?

Administering hair of the dog on New Year’s Day?

Prolonging the holiday indulgence by recognizing National Creampuff Day, National Cassoulet Day, and National Peanut Brittle Day?

Toasting to Carmenta during her feast days?

Dressing up as an animal or old woman and dancing through the streets singing sacrilegious songs?

Sacrificing a ram to ensure the well-being of the state?

Commemorating the occasion of young Nero’s first shave?

Heaving ourselves into icy waters during a polar bear plunge?

While all of these are — theoretically, at least — things we would enjoy doing (with the possible exception of the icy swim), what we really love to do in January, what gets us out of bed on those dark, cold winter mornings, is the glowing prospect of voting for our favorite Ugly of the year gone by.

At the dawn of each new January day of this year, we’ve popped out of bed and raced to our computer. Is it time yet? Has the survey been posted? Can we cast our vote for our favoritest ugly Ugly of 2021?

What’s that you say? You say it’s our responsibility to post the survey?

Oh dang.

We knew that. Heh.

Ok. Just give us a moment here to get organized …

Be back real soon …
