Mr. Karswell Awarded the Silver Bolo!

Did anyone catch the final episode of the second season of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs? Holy cow, I was as shocked as anyone to discover the Silver Bolo awarded to me, Mr. Karswell, and The Horrors of it All! What a mind-blowing honor to be recognized, and even mentioned by legendary joltin' Joe --as well as by ever dynamite, Darcy the Mail Girl! The Shudder Channel even tweeted about lil 'ol me!



And yeah, it seems like my last name will always be eternally misspelled and mispronounced (it's BANES, not BARNES), but no matter-- I'm still over the moon about it.

As soon as Shudder makes the episode available I will add the link here. Thanks again to Joe, Darcy, Shudder, and everyone involved with The Last Drive-In, as well as to whoever it was that nominated me in the first place --I guess that's how this thing works-- I'm still not exactly sure how it all happened, or how I even appeared on the Briggs radar, but I'm glad I did!

    That's great! Your listed on Wikipedia and everything! I wrote a letter to Joe Bob one time and he wrote me back. Well, they were emails, but in the early days it was easy to find people's real addresses. I have no idea what that was all about now, but I remember he seemed really nice. Apparently has pretty good taste in websites, too.

    Thanks everyone! I really am speechless

    >Awww...Sorry we got your name wrong, but congrats! We are big fans of yours!

    It's really not that big of a deal, I mean at this point in my life I'm used to it! haha... but seriously, thank you again Diana,(Darcy), and Joe Bob-- this news really made my day! Hell, it's the best thing that's happened to this blog in years-- and I will definitely display my Bolo proudly here at Karswell Kastle! :)

    Congrats Mr Banes! I have been lurking in the shadows reading your blog for a long time, and I think this award is well deserved. What is a Silver Bolo? An actual Bolo tie?

    >secret identity
