Adagioforstrings of Noli Insipientium Iniurias Pati honored IMAO with the “Dino-soar Award” Award.
With Obama killing the Flying Velociraptor Project, someone has to rise to counter the threat of North Korea launching a rocket capable of putting an Allosaurus into orbit.
IMAO is proud to fill that role, and humbly and gratefully accepts this award.
FINE PRINT:
To join the exclusive club of blogs who honor IMAO and have your award featured on our sidebar with a link to your blog, make up a fancy award image honoring IMAO, blog about it, and drop a link in the comments.
Keep it PG-13, and if it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, your award will be duly noted in a post (Current estimated wait time – 2 Award posts), and placed in the sidebar with a link to your site.
As added incentive for people to honor IMAO with worthless, made-up awards, those who do so may proudly display this worthless, made-up Participant Ribbon:
If you don’t have a blog, then send your image to harvolson-at-gmail.com and include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts.
For the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. Please make sure text is at least barely legible at that size.
Now get honoring!
Oh noes!!!! I thought I’d have more time to fiddle with my flying dinosoar award. I changed the letter colors to lite blue so you can actually read the name of the award since navy blue on a black background doesn’t really show up.
Whether the text stands out clearly is a secondary concern. What’s most important is that you got IMAO to post something on a weekend.
The DynaSoar was America’s first space shuttle, just about ready to fly in the early 60s when McNamara canceled it: http://www.astronautix.com/craft/dynasoar.htm
I am going to note that this pic is suspiciously similar to the box art for the game “Demon Attack.” (click on web link to see)
I worked on the Titan rocket program & only knew the DynaSoar program as the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL). The rumor was that the launch pad was built over an indian (or native american, which is more politically correct but not as scary) burial ground & was thus cursed causing the cancellation not only of the MOL, but also the cancellation of the west coast launch for the shuttle.
Booo! ~”~ <– emoticon of scary ghost saying, “boo”
I suppose that I should have done my research before I posted my comment above, but here’s an article to back up my rumor mongering:
