Exciting Merit Badge News/Awards Ceremony

Well, well, Jake fans.  I must say I am impressed.  I have seen some pretty damned good performances from you all in the past few days.  And with gyllenhaalic4jake's decorating prowess setting a new standard for dedication?  Well, I thought it was time we kicked this merit badge thing into high gear.

Which is why I formally introduce the I'm Stalking Jake Merit Badge Program for Excellence In Stalking Jake (ISJMBPFEISJ - trademark pending).

So far, randomhero2006 is ahead of all of you for having earned two badges:  The Badge For Exceptional Sock Research (redesigned below) and The Badge For Valor on the Red Carpet.

And now, with great pleasure, I hand over our first Badge For Outstanding Home Decorating.  Wear it well gyllenhaalic4jake.  You've earned it!

And while I'm handing out awards, I would like to give S4M985 and Cantara Christopher The Badge For Promoting Me All Over the Damn Internet.  Thank you, both!  And I know, I know...a little icon from me is worth so much in comparison to the work you've done.  But what can I say?  I'm the generous type.

More badges to come!  And more Jake news.  Check back a little later for a daily roundup and (of course) the Facebook Question of the Day.  It's a lot of work being a Jake fan, guys.  And if it wasn't so damned much work making these badges, I would have made one for everyone who's commented so far (give me time!).

And no, I have no idea what you're going to do with these.  Except, of course, collect them all and brag to your friends about how awesome they are.
