#8 Terry Pratchett earns a WIN Award!

WIN- Witty Ingenious Narwhal

Welcome to the first ever WIN ceremony! We give out this award every week to one outstanding individual, we feel has been too awesome for a simple knuckle-touch or high-five.

Sir Terence David Pratchett, a novelist and chuckle-causer, has won this award for audacious wit, surprising wisdom, and winning me over with literary charm.

May his horn forever glow bright
In the ocean's darkest night.
Now and forever, a brother in fin.
From here on forth, you are a WIN
.

Every post shall now end with a Terry Pratchett quote. Meeting adjourned.

“There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye. ” -Terry Pratchett
