I Announce the Winners of My Contest
30 Comments Published by JD December 16th, 2009 in I Give and Receive.But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity
It’s TIIIIIIIIIIIIME!
Time to announce the WINNERSSSSSSSSSSS!
Thanks to everyone who played, even when it was pretty obvious that the contest was WON and DONE. I think maybe I suck at contests. I always seem to leave out an important rule or caveat, and someone goes home in tears. Perhaps the rest of you can do contests so I don’t have to? And then I can focus on winning stuff instead of forking out prizes. Yes!
But regardless. There were two winners of this contest, and those two winners ARE . . .
First-place winner: SURFIE from Surfie Says!
Second-place winner: BUGGYS from Cute As a Buggy!
Congratulations!!! You two got in there fast and used that “search” box like there was no tomorrow. That makes no sense. But you know what I mean. Way to go!
Honorable mention to Jackie Schklar who runs Funny not Slutty and who got 9 and 1/2 out of 10. Pru started out her life as Mary Jane, but we renamed her when we adopted her. Otherwise, excellent job!
Oh, So Close!
Lola: Woo! You got ‘em all right but came in just SECONDS too late. I may be making that up for dramatic effect.
Maureen: Another close one! I’m crying with joy that some of you actually bothered to look up all this crap!
Erin: Great job! You got all the correct answers AND meaningless bonus points for funny commentary!
Meaningless Bonus Points for Creativity
moooooo35: I think you might’ve been guessing answers for a different contest, but at this point, who cares?
V: “Pan something purple”? “Really small bulge”? The first is confusing and the second is confounding (why would I EVER write about a really small bulge?). Otherwise: great job!
babs – beetle: Thank you for understanding when I deleted your first comment AND for going to the trouble of submitting a second round of fun answers.
Jay: Despite having the memory of a stunned fish (still laughing at that), you guessed “Really Sexy Bottom” and THAT makes you a winner in my book.
More Shout-Outs
Jaffer: You made some good guesses, my friend. Unfortunately, Bumpits cost WAY more than $4 (and yes, they do smell).
Stephanie Barr: Excellent job, considering you guessed AND you’re acronym-challenged. You probably did better than I would’ve done if I’d had to guess.
Adele: Ooh, almost. You only missed two! Good job!
Katherine: Heh! You remembered “Friar Longwood”! That oughtta count for something. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. But thank you so much for playing!

Yay ! Congratulations to the winners !
I am laughing on finding out you deleted Babs’ comment and she had to go through it again !
That’s what I get for depending on something as decrepit and worn out as my memory!
Congrats to the winners for doing things a bit more intelligently.
.-= Stephanie Barr´s last blog ..For Katrina: Tell Me About El Nino and La Nina =-.
Nice job winnahs!!!
.-= jennyonthespot´s last blog ..And It ALL Happens Because I Blog =-.
i want a re-do. i didn’t use a search box either, my answers were straight from the tap.
i was trying to spell pansy, but i gave up after i kept typing panties. it just didn’t look right.
rsb – i wouldn’t bother either.
next contest, i’m so on it.
Congratulations to the winners! You mean my answers were NOT correct?
.-= babs – beetle´s last blog ..You get the bad news first! =-.
Great minds, right? Like V I wanted to go pure and I knew I couldn’t remember all of them without cheating. So I put on my thinking cap and promptly got distracted.
So here I am now, to congratulate Surfie and Buggys. Well done!
.-= cardiogirl´s last blog ..Working at the airport sucked until I was paid to look inside the luggage =-.
Congratulations to the winners. Great job!
.-= Bingo´s last blog ..Low attendance at Bingo hall due to smoking ban =-.
Congratulations to the winners! I was too embarrassed to enter because I was scairted I would get a wrong answer.
ps: if I didn’t mention it before, I love seeing my button here! Thanks!
Jaffer: Poor Babs. She was only guessing, but her original comment made it sound like she knew the winners. She’s such a good sport!
Stephanie Barr: Well, you’re a purist. I applaud you for wanting to do it from memory. I think you did pretty well!
jennyonthespot: Can I get a hollah?!
V: Ohhh, PANSIES. OK. Yeah, “panties” is close but no cigar. I’ll have another contest JUST for you so you can use the search box. And I’ll be a little more clear in my instructions. The search box is NOT cheating!
babs – beetle: HA! You were soooo close!
cardiogirl: That darn thinking cap. Mine has never worked right since I tried to wash it. I appreciate you’re wanting to “go pure.”
Bingo: I totally agree!
Daisy the Curly Cat: Aw. You should never feel scairted, Daisy! I bet if you put on your glasses you would’ve guessed a lot of the answers!
well congrats to the winners. I’ve never been an over achiever so I didn’t stand a chance…lol
.-= ann´s last blog ..A tale of Christmas past =-.
Contest? I was so busy I forgot to check the blog these last few days…oh well, congrats to the winners.
.-= AnaFabijanec´s last blog ..Good things about video games =-.
I’m with Daisy–I didn’t want to embarrass myself. Well, you know, more than usual.
I won? I really won? Hey everybody, I won! I’m so excited. I would first like to thank the Academy and all of my fans who voted for me…you like me, you really like me!??
Of course I can’t forget to thank my Mother because, well, you know, she’s my Mother. And JD too, for writing such entertaining stories that they kind of stick in my mind….you, know like Bubble Yum on your shoe.
Thanks JD!
.-= Buggys´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday =-.
Awww! I didn’t know that time was of the essence. I thought you were going to put the names of all the bloggers with the correct replies in a hat.
wahhhhhhhhh!
.-= Lola´s last blog ..Christmas came early at the diner =-.
Hey, I’m finally a winner! And yep, I used the search box since JD said we could!
.-= Surfie´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday: Brandishing a Circular Saw. Yea, Power Tools! =-.
I missed your contest. I’m such a turd. I’ve been so busy rehearsing for a play and getting fatter that I’ve been ignoring my blog friends. And now I’ve missed your contest! Sigh! Sob! Slobber!
.-= Preston´s last blog ..‘96 Gibson SG Special Guitar for Sale =-.
Just wanted to stop by and say CONGRATULATIONS to your winners!!!
BRAVO, peeps!
Yay ! Congratulations to the winners !

PS: I came to find your blog through babs, jaffer, and mooooog, oh and kathy/junkdrawer
I like how well you channel Alex Trebec and congrats to the winners!

ann: Thank you for being so gracious. But NO ONE HERE is an underachiever!
AnaFabijanec: And thank YOU for being so gracious. I suggest you hire an assistant so you don’t fall behind anymore.
Lin: As if you could. Embarrass yourself, that is. I mean, at ALL! This is an embarrassment-free zone, you know.
Buggys: Congratulations! Your ad looks beautiful over there. I’m just going to ignore the Bubble Yum comment except I can’t because now I have a craving for that deliciously artificially sweet gum.
Lola: Waaahhhh! I should’ve been more clear about the instructions. Don’t worry. I have a feeling ad space will be plentiful, so I’ll probably do another contest, and I’ll do a random drawing.
Surfie: That’s what I call playin’ by the rules! Congratulations, and don’t forget to send me your 125 x 125 logo!
Preston: You are NOT a turd! I’ll run another contest, I promise. This was a bad time for everyone, holiday/busy-ness/eating delicious treats-wise. Please don’t slobber!
Ron: Thank you, Ron! They did good, didn’t they?!
meleah rebeccah: Wheee! it’s like a party or something! (Good to see you “out and about.”)
Margaret (Nanny Goats): Why, thank you! I always dreamed of being a debonair game show host.
Bonus points!!!!
Yay me.
Can I cash them in for more spectacular prizes?
Where’s Vanna White?!
Mmmm…Vanna White.
Can I cash in my bonus points for Vanna White?
That would be awesome.

Yay for winners. They are very….involved.

I was out of the blog loop and totally missed the whole contest!! But congrats to the winners!!
♥Spot
.-= Spot´s last blog ..So 40 is the new 20… =-.
moooooo35: No and no. I’m sorry. On my budget, the best I can offer you is either a fabulous I Do Things magnet or a spectacular I Do Things keychain. And you have to pay for both. Fantastic!
Pricilla: They are, aren’t they? But I think they just used the handy Search box and probably found the answers in less than 10 minutes. Anyone who could answer each question correctly off the top of their heads? Now that’s involved!
Spot: HI SPOT! We missed you. There will be more contests, not to worry!
Aaaaaaah! I missed it! Boo.
I’m going home in tears and I didn’t even play.

erin: Your gratitude warms my heart. Thank you again for playing! Now go spend those meaningless points wisely.
Dorothy Stahlnecker: Hello! You’re always welcome. Next time I hope you can play along!
Wahoo! Congratulations to Surfy and Buggys!!!
