Um... vote for me?

So, here's a weird thing.

This hip-hop grandma down there in New England has nominated me for a Blogger's Choice Award for, get this: Hottest Daddy Blogger.  (I currently have 3 votes and the frontrunner has 81.  I have some ground to make up.)

She also nominated me in a couple other categories, but I like Hottest Daddy the best, so that's the one I'm going to pimp.  See the shiny new button on the sidebar?!  And don't worry if you're a guy.  You can vote for me and totally hang on to your masculinity.  In fact, voting for me as a Hot Daddy is proof positive that you have a strong and secure sense of self, and the chicks just eat that stuff up!

The inconvenient thing about voting is that you have to sign up to do so, and that takes, like, a couple minutes.  You could be watching a YouTube video about a really cute kiwi bird in the time it takes to register.  And I know what I'd rather do with my time!

But what the hell, in the spirit of being nominated, I present some evidence of my alleged hotness to support the nomination.  I feel no obligation to provide evidence of my Dad-ness since the past two and a half years of this blog really ought to suffice.

Herewith, Simian Farmer hotness.

Rawr!!

The many states of Dad-ness of Simon:

---

Just proposed dad.
(Check out that sexy chest hair!)

---

Death Race dad.  38 kilometres later.

---

Dominican vacation dad.

---

Falling down drunk dad.

---

Gratuitous cute kid shot dad.

---

Groomsman dad.

---

Multi-tasking home and office worker dad.

---

I'll never tell what's worn underneath dad.

---

Dude, read the shirt.

---

Pensive dad.

---

Posing with some other guy's kids dad.
(I have no shame.)

---

The very last picture the night of my stag dad.

---

May long weekend camping trip dad.

---

Squash playin' dad.

---

Summer vacation dad.

THE MONEY SHOT.

Um, who's kids are those???

Unless you add the one of you and the boys that I sent you, I'm not voting for you.

I should tell you that I did vote, but it required entire minutes of sifting through other nominated blogs. I MUST be dedicated, right?

The badge to the right doesn't lead one right to you. Just to the homepage....just thought you'd like to know.

Yay Team Simon!

Don't worry about the total vote count ... you are DA MAN. It's quality not quantity that wins in the end :>)

Lovin' the piccies. Come on loyal readers, give him a vote!

Good luck (from your hip-hop promoter).

xxoo

I did my part. Although I almost got distracted by some hot blogger further up the list ;)

Darling wife: those kids belong to my high school friend, Jeff, whom I was visiting in Kelowna the summer before we met.

Paula, I'm normally not succeptible to vote-buying, but in your case I'll make an exception. It'll have to wait until I get home from work today though.

Thanks for the votes so far. If I can make it to the front page of that list, that would be pretty cool.

You vote whore.

Ah well, I'm not in the competition, so what the heck.

As of right now (8:00 central on Tuesday night), neilgaiman.com is number one Hot Daddy Blogger. Interesting. Never read any of his stuff.

completely off topic, but how uncanny is it that I have two boys and they are named simon and declan?

your kids are darling and your wife is cute as pie!

[Monique]

I think think there should be a new category: Hot Daddy Blogger with a Smokin' Hot Wife! Still trying to vote for you....ah the things I do for the democratic process. :)

[Paul]

Dude, that was totally Niagara on the Lake!

[Emilie]

There, did my part. You didn't move, though, sorry.
