Professor Chaos - The Ultimate Terrorist
Recently the call went out for SQL Bloggers to submit their best work for the PASS Log Reader Awards. A few of the best SQL Bloggers got together and created this contest to inspire and encourage others to create top quality content.
I was encouraged to enter my Encyclopedia Brown Mystery posts I created and I did so. It’s not strictly SQL, so I entered it into the “Unusual Blog Post” category. I’ve always been seen as unusual anyway, so I figured I had a good shot to win.
The entry even got some good buzz around it on Twitter when SQL Chicken Blog – Twitter raved about it.
So, I waited with baited breath for the results. I worked on an acceptance speech. Well, the winners were announced and ::heavy sigh::
I didn’t win.
When I read the post and didn’t see my name, I started to comment on Brent’s post, “I’m real happy for ya, and I’mma let you finish but the Encyclopedia Brown Post was one of the most unusual of all time!!!”
However, In an effort to be classy and take my defeat well, I refrained from doing that. After brooding about being unappreciated and misunderstood for several days, I started feeling emo, wearing goth clothing, and listening to sad music to make my point to the community that nobody understands me.. However, I realized that wouldn’t get me noticed either as one of the Award Judges already tried that.
After careful consideration, it all comes down to SQL Chicken’s comment: The Terrorists Win. (Scroll Down)

Vote for me next time or the bird gets it!!!
Seriously though, congrats to the winners. 🙂
Hahahaha, nice. I will say, though, that the Encyclopedia Brown post missed being runner-up by just half a point in the judges’ voting, and missed winning by one point. The competition was really close in the Unusual category, and we had a ton of good stuff. I was bummed that it didn’t win – I gave it my full 10 points. 😀
As any Blackhawk fan will tell you, that gun is pointed at the wrong crest.
Butters is the perfect analogy. Careful that you don’t get a ninja star thrown at you.
Oh man that post made me damn near choke on my lunch, nicely done! Award or not you put out great work and I’ll continue to endorse your site to any and all.
Glad you guys liked it. It took forever to get a decent picture of Anakin as he kept trying to fly away from the gun.
Is Anaken a cockatoo?
Anakin is a Goffin Cockatoo. I’ve had him a little more than two years. There are a few other pictures of him on the blog. Look here and here.
If you’re going to hold a bird hostage, make sure you do it with the right weapon:
Bye-bye Birdy
Best part of this: the look on Anakin’s face.
