NEW CONTEST

It's Tuesday morning, and we haven't seen 24 yet. Erik had a late softball game again, so we'll watch it tonight and give a full report tomorrow.

To tide you over until then, the offices of FNUR FNUR have decided to have another contest. While I wait to hear the news of my obvious win in Cap's "Name My Blog" contest (my entry: "Oops, I Capped My Pants"), I decided to update my blog roll. I'm saving a spot for Dana for when she's able to bring her blog back. But I also removed one of the Breast Cancer 3-Day links (not the donate one, just the homepage for the walk web site). This leaves a vacancy in my blogroll (free LiveJournal accounts can only list 10 on their blogroll).

The contest: Persuade me to put a link to your website/blog/myspace/whatever in my blogroll. Or, if you are already listed in the blogroll, persuade me to put your favorite blog/webpage/myspace/whatever on the blogroll.

How to win: Leave a comment with your desired website/blog and the reason(s) why it should be linked.

How to really win: Flattery, humor, and donations to the Breast Cancer 3-Day always work well.

The rules: 1) I'm going to be tough like Fitz is - if the website/blog/myspace/whatever is updated less than once per month, it's not going on the blogroll.  2) You have to link back to me, as well.  

The prize: To join the offices of FNUR FNUR on the blogroll, and be loved and adored by the couple of dozen people who read this blog.

BLOG NAME WINNER

After much deliberation, a winner has been chosen for The "Name My Blog" contest.  

Pizza wins, with "FNUR FNUR!"  Congratulations!

Now I know a lot of you are thinking, "What the hell is FNUR FNUR?"  It's a saying/noise we make when describing a manner of speaking.  When someone talks to try and show off how smart they are, and they only come off sounding like a pompous (yet clueless) idiot.  We took it from Television Without Pity (not surprisingly, it was used to describe a contestant on The Apprentice) and now we often use it to describe people we encounter at work.  There's a LOT of FNUR up in here.  It is pronounced exactly as it looks "FNUR FNUR!"

Pizza, I will film the Jack Bauer impression very soon.  It's fitting that you won this, since it cracks you up the most.  BONUS!

From now until I feel like changing it again, this blog will be known as FNUR FNUR instead of "I tapdance for pennies".  Thanks for playing, everyone!

Has not been decided yet. I've narrowed down the list, but I'm still deciding on my favorites. I may pick more than one and use one for a couple months, then change it to another one. Here is what I have narrowed it down to: 

Better Than You Since 1978 (Jamsky - btw Jamsky, I would have awarded a Dollar's Worth of Dick as the winner but that REALLY should be the title of your blog.  It's brilliant.) 

The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Panties On (Pizza) 

Freakin' Livejournal (Fitz) 

I'm not wearing any pants (CAP) 

FNUR FNUR! (Pizza) 

Congrats to the finalists!  I'll pick a winner... soon.  When I decide.

NEW CONTEST - NAME MY BLOG

April 6th, 2006 (09:26 am)

The title of my LJ is called "I tapdance for pennies".  It's an obscure quote from Lolita, my favorite book.  In the book, Humbert Humbert is describing he'll do anything for even the slightest bit of love from Lolita.  And because I love Nabokov's writing style and vivid use of imagery, that line has always stuck with me.  

But I feel it's time for a new title now.  It was one thing when the only people who read this blog were my ladies.  And it was another thing when all I wrote about was various bitchery about my life, and random boring pieces of my day.  But now this blog is read by more people, and I talk about Jack Bauer more often than myself.

So here's the new contest: Name this blog.  It can be a word, a phrase, a sentence, whatever.  It can be about Jack Bauer, it can be about me, it can be about whatever.  My only requirements are that it be something memorable and entertaining.

Winner receives a video clip of me doing my Jack Bauer impersonation (with sound).  Which some people find quite entertaining.  I only do it for a few people - if you're the winner, I'll do it just for you.

(Note to all competitors: the one to beat is Jamsky.  Not only did she win the last contest, but she is full of comedy GOLD, as this exchange will prove.)

GOOD LUCK!
