Lucha Workshop Sweeps the First Annual Plummy Awards
Lucha Workshop surprised the public last week, by winning four “Plummy” awards for excellence in crafting. (http://plummies.plumofthemonth.com/) The awards include: Most fines payed to IRS, Best company that rhymes with Blucha Morkshop, Most employees named Franklin (3), and “The Effort Award” for the kids who obviously had no help from their parents building their website.
The event took a turn for the worse when Clarence, Lucha Workshop’s CEO, took to the podium. A visibly inebriated Clarence criticized “lazy carrots,” comic artists crybabies who take way too long making their web comics and tropical fruits in general. Uncomfortable silence filed the auditorium as Clarence joked about The Button Arcade, saying “I’ve been on that site-where are all the games anyway? It should be called The Button No-Arcade.” This was followed by mild pity laughter. Event staff quickly responded by escorting Clarence off the stage.
Our legal department(a couple of copies of a law journal from 1913) had this to say: The Button Arcade is a great company, unaffected by whether or not their site contains any actual arcade games. Web comic artist will come around in their own time and should not be rushed, not all tropical fruit is an abomination, and It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.

I nominated you for a Plummy award (Most Hilarious Blogs Which are Also Completely Wrong and Way off the Mark) but I guess you didn’t win who knows why….

As a longtime fan of tropical fruits, I’d just like to say that I am really tired of people in positions of power taking cheap shots at the tropical fruit community. Who cares if some tropical fruits are musky? What most folks in temperate climates balk at as musk is actually a taste so rich and complex that they have difficulty appreciating it on their first try. There is absolutely NO difference between the current temperate/tropical fruit debate and the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. People should be open to new flavor experiences and embrace equatorial pomology, just as we must embrace people of all races and ethnicities (well, maybe not physically). I’ll personally take a bakupari over an apple any day, so I say Mr. “Big-Time CEO” Clarence can go stuff a pear under his eyepatch.
