It keeps getting better. Thanks.
2
It really does get better.
3
It gets better. I'm 34.
4
I can't stop laughing @ 3. Thank you.
5
Avoid Santorum at all costs.
6
Lol. I like @3
7
Thanks. See? It got better!
8
First, you have to live.
9
34, too old to Youtube?
10
You are It Gets Better.
11
D T M F A.
12
"it is a great honor to win this prestigious web-award thingy at the fresh, naive age of 34. kthxbye."
13
"34 was better than 52" (or whatever your real age is).
14
@ 13 you fool. he is going to find you. he is going to hurt you.
15
Live better and beyond 34
16
a) I've always enjoyed acceptance speeches that mention the better half.
b) it's a mystery why the Webby fools didn't name Terry as well.

So say, "I'm property of Terry Miller."
17
"I'd like to thank the"
18
"Life gets worse after 34."
19
34, Better or The Best?
20
46 is the new 34.
21
Ich bin ein 34-er.
22
It gets so much better!
23
"Point me to the bar".
24
It will always get better.
25
Thank Allah for Rick Santorum.
26
It get's bigger. Oops, better!
27
Even Santorum needs some love.
28
"always better, never older, gay"
29
"Words matter. And hyphens. Thirty-four-year-old."
30
See, it does get better.
31
Try to beat Google, Santorum
32
"Sexuality ain't worth bullying over."
33
"President Santorum ... sounds awful, right?"
34
Making it better since 1977?

Ooh, good call gus: how about "34-year-old property of Terry Miller"?
35
@3 wins.
36
Some combination of gus' and #3--- that's my vote anyway!
37
@8 gave me tingles. The "that's brilliant and touching" kind.
38
Dan Savage, 34, accepts Webby.
39
"For all the gay kids."

"It gets worse - just kidding!"
40
"Even better when Project not necessary."
41
People have it off, sweeties.
42
Thirty-four is two words.

I realize that phrase happens to be five words, but it's not my speech suggestion; just an observation.
43
Hey, Pope? Who's laughing now?
44
@16 I saw this covered by the Spokane news and over there, Dan is just the boyfriend.
45
First place: @8

Second place: @33

Third place: @3
46
can't decide between @3 and @16
47
@37 - me too

@8 - I'm reading along, they're cute, they're funny, but then, "first, you have to live." That's striking and touching.
48
Now can I marry Terry?
49
"It really does get better"
50
oh @8, how did i miss that?
51
Got to give them hope!
52
Or, if you wanna get political:

Don't vote Republican, Mmmm k?
53
The internet made it possible.
54
#8 nailed it. That one gets my vote, hands down.
55
minor aside: ties together both weiner and IGB: http://tinyurl.com/3e9pm9s

i think you've achieved cultural iconicity or whatever it is!
56
Go be old and gay!
57
Be honest, go make love.

But I also vote for @2 and @49's: "It really does get better".
58
#3 or #23, or anything involving Terry.
59
Call me a spoilsport, but I don't think you should bring up 34. The joke won't last more than a week or so (forget it being memorable enough to live on a wiki), and probably doesn't mean anything to people who don't live in Seattle/don't read Slog. The IGBP is a nation-wide, if not world-wide, phenomenon. Your age has nothing to do with it. Keep it classy and funny, as the Webbys want. For that reason, I like @1.
60
Getting better, while persistently 34.
61
For Sale: Dan Savage, 34.
62
No Santorum on my Webby!
63
"Thanks. We're winning. (I'm 34)."

(I also really like #3 and #8.)

64
Live, we need you here.
65
Enough with the joke about being 34, Dan. 99% of those attending or reading about the Webby awards are not going to get it. Do you want your age to be the focus when you can only get your point across with 5 words? That's why I vote for "First, you have to live." I can hear the standing O now.
66
Three suggestions:

Terry, you make it better.
ENDA would make it better.
DOMA doesn't make it better.
67
If I had to vote, though, I'd choose #8 or #64.
68
33!!!!
69
How about something about who the IGBP has assisted?

"Helped our first gay president"

"Maybe saved your kid's life"

"Maybe helped Santorum's first born"

70
This makes it much better. (classy version)

Better than Santorum on doorknobs. (unclassy version)
71
"At 34, I'm better. Thanks."

But honestly, I agree that the fact that you're 34 doesn't need to be in there. Just think--in about twenty years, it might not even be true anymore! Focus on timeless truths if you want to give an unforgettable speech.

So my real vote is #8's "First, you have to live." It's brilliant.
72
I would like to offer a variation on @8 but I think more to the point.

"First, you must stay alive"

73
Screw the haters. Please.
74
Santorum's getting nothing. But Santorum.
75
"I am running for president."
76
I vote for 8: "First you have to live." Brilliant.
77
Living well. The best revenge.
78
Number 8 wins for me too, Dan. The 34 thing is funny, but I don't think most people will get it, and it doesn't have a lasting kind of punch to it.
79
@77, those are Terry's own words. That got cut off when I hit post.
80
Santorum would make it worse.
81
Am I the only one with love for #43? Sheesh!

It's that or #3... or possibly #5.
82
After a long pause that bring the crowd to an almost uncomfortable silence: "Thanks. But we're not done."
83
Lift my luggage; no Santorum.
84
43! 43! 43! ...And exit stage left, laughing maniacally.
85
Getting better still, at 34.
Better date still ain't 34. (Perhaps this is cheating.)
Remember to love all, regardless.
Better. Wait. How many candles?
Score one and 14 improvements.

's all I've got.
86
#82 is also very good.
87
"The kids could be alright"
88
I think it should be a forward-looking statement, one that can be used as a slogan. Try this:
Equality will make it better!
89
I like #8 and #27.

Maybe

It BETTER get better.
91
dispose of santorium wherever found
92
Nothing is wrong with you.
93
#8 is perfect. I like 48 too.
94
wow

a real dilema for the slog.

is Danny really such a clueless douche that he wants to work the 34 thing in to the acceptance?
if so we dare not point out what a total lack of class asswipe stunt it would be, we have to play along....
or is Danny kidding? we would assume so were it a mature adult but this is Danny so we can't be sure....

so Slog, someone put up a poll and let's find out if Slog:
a- Thinks Danny is an immature Asswipe who means it
b- is a self-centered asswipe who just can't get over how fucking hysterical his '34' gag was.
95
IGB is all about encouraging little homos not to off themselves but to grow up to realize their full homo potential,
so
"Don't Cheat the AIDS Virus" should just hit the spot...
96
Better, even at thirty four (we've been forgetting 34 = two words)
97
This is not easy. So far, I'd say #48 or #64.
98
"It gets Savager. Oh yeah!" But be really drunk and exhuberant when you say it!!
99
#75! yes!
100
I agree with #93

1. First, you have to live. (3)
2. Now, can I marry Terry? (48)

Although I gotta give a shout-out to 26 for "It Gets Bigger. Oops, Better!"
101
High school doesn't last forever.

    Please wait...
