The Minimum Security Orphanarium Award for the Best PEEL Family Produced Through Adoption (Not Sex)Sex--as any dutiful dork will tell you on a Saturday night as he or she sits in front of a laptop watching old
X-Files episodes on Netflix--is overrated. The
product of the procreative act, however, can be most useful; after all, children are great tax write-offs, and if you can train them to pee in their litter boxes and to fetch your newspaper for you each morning, all the better.
I may be confusing kids with cats here, but no matter. My point is that one need not be getting laid in order to start a family. To that end, a number of senior PEELers have adopted some of the board's young'uns and fashioned for themselves a PEEL Family. There is something magical about this phenomena; it speaks to how the folks we meet virtually can become a beloved, indispensable part of our real lives.
This award seeks to honor the nuclear family of nerdlingers that most melts our hearts--that family that enjoys the occasional Pizza Hut dinner, that supports its children's artistic endeavors, and that does not question its members occasionally bewildering taste in Canadian men.
I speak, of course, of...
Congratulations to the
coldy1else family: Maz, coldangel, Jezzem, Freako, and Bianca. Have you considered starring in an Australian reboot of
The Brady Bunch? Because I would watch that show silly!
