Edvard Moonke

Ever tried to quit smok­ing? Or lived with some­one who has?

Today’s win­ner knows whereof the nico­tine speaks. Not-so-subtly prompted by some­one who cares about him to cease the habit that he thinks is fuel­ing his cre­ativ­ity, he writes: “The left side of my brain races to all exit points, fran­ti­cally search­ing for ade­quate excuses to keep feed­ing my addic­tion, while the right side knows I have no con­crete argu­ment against it. Noth­ing that would stand up in court, anyway.”

Find­ing him­self explain­ing the def­i­n­i­tion of blog to the judge, nicotine-deprived Edvard is just not fit for human com­pan­ion­ship. Brazil­ian born Moonke, who now resides in Britain, is known for his pen­chant for omit­ting com­mas (to which we say “Bravo!”) and pithy ren­der­ings via la blog.

We bestow upon The Smok­ing Crea­ture From the Black Lagoon, pub­lished March 1, 2007, the Post of the Day Award. Judg­ing from the pic­ture above, we say, “Some­body give the man a cigarette!”
