It&#8217;s the internet award version of a chain letter, because if I don&#8217;t do it, I&#8217;ll die within five days!\u00a0 At least that is what Reis told me.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The five outstanding blogs I&#8217;ve decided to bestow this honor upon are\u00a0<a title=\"Michael Bailey\u2019s Comic Book Blog\" rel=\"friend met\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fortressofbaileytude.com\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Aquaman Shrine<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Michael Bailey\u2019s Comic Book Blog\" rel=\"friend met\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fortressofbaileytude.com\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Fortress of Baileytude<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.groovysuperhero.com\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Groovy Superhero<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"A Martian Manhunter Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/idol-head.blogspot.com\/\">Idol-Head of Diabolu<\/a>,\u00a0 and <a title=\"Erika\u2019s Blog\" rel=\"friend met co-worker\" href=\"http:\/\/idontreadmyblogeither.blogspot.com\/\">I Don\u2019t Read My Blog Either<\/a>.\u00a0 Each of these is a truly great blog and definitely offers a unique voice! If I could, I&#8217;d give out several more awards.\u00a0 I can think of numerous other blogs I read that are excellent and deserving of accolades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My thanks again to Geek Orthodox and <a title=\"HeroPress\" href=\"http:\/\/www.heropress.net\/\">HeroPress<\/a> for giving ONCE UPON A GEEK this award.
