It's in the list =)

Hold up. I have submitted many an entry that has taken "a little effort to write" and still not won nada GAD. Well, maybe as Celestine I did, so.. But still, I often wonder why my topics (some of which have been unethically revised by moderators to suit their own interests) do not appease the powers-that-be and all that I can summise is the reviewers are bias. Especially to be overlooked for some unengaging, lame, amateur psychological dissertation of schizophrenia, COPIED mostly from internet websites, that was so absolutely riveting NO ONE gave two-hoots to read through.. or do much else other than point and laugh at for its phenomenal length of horse dung.
The only thing that I can truly believe about that winning is that his underlying motive was to seduce GAD givers by drawing attention with his famed persona and then dumping a brick of mind-numbing nonsense, to retreat back to his lurking shadows like a slithering thief.
*Two snaps*
Whomever awards GAD needs to uphold a standard that is, in the least:
1. fair,
2. informed and
3. NOT wishy-washy and willy-nilly.

If I have my way, Bingo will be constantly won by myself from now on, so I should really take that off the list :)
I only have 3 numbers on bingo left to get, so if I should win this week, that is entirely by fluke I promise!!
