Earlier, before all this tragic dueling, I auditioned for a spot in this year’s Blogger Idol. (There’s a cool video, which I have spoiled below.) They got a fairly large number of auditions, I think 167, and they went through them all the past couple of weeks. Well, today, I got a little notice from Blogger Idol, a little e-mail, that said the following:
Congrats to all 13 of you for making it into the Top 13 for Blogger Idol 2012! You are officially freaking AWESOME! Oh wait…you already were, and that’s why you’re getting this email!
And on my Facebook page:
In case you missed it, here is the Top 13:
1. Pile Of Babies
2. My Rad Dad
3. Crazed in the Kitchen
4. The Real Matt Daddy
5. Forever 51
6. Martinis and Minivans
7. Dad And Buried
8. The Mother Freaking Princess
9. Crazy Dumbsaint of the mind
10. Edward Hotspur
11. Ice Scream Mama
12. Manderstanding
13. Random Thoughts n Lotsa Coffee
How did that happen? I don’t know, but I hope once this thing gets started, you lovely people will support me. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that I need a lot of support. And that’s why I wear a jock strap.
No, seriously, I love you all at the same time in a huge swimming pool of group sex – or if that’s too strong a metaphor, a huge swimming pool of totally platonic group sex.
Thank you for reading my blog, and continuing to read my blog, even on the toilet.
Edward Hotspur
Oh! I’ll take totally platonic group sex in a huge swimming pool for $1000, Alex.
Congratulations, Silly Person!
Thank you! And thanks for all the marketing you did for me. Man, there are too many social media for me to keep up with, and also breathe oxygen and ingest calories!
I think I’m just going to post Blogger Idol posts for a while. A long while, he said optimistically.
Yeah, sure you are.
You cannot resist being verbally abused on a daily basis by your adoring fans! No way. Nope.
You licked a VW.
Actually, that is true..
Congrats on making Blogger Idol Top 13 – I saw it on FB earlier today & meant to get over here. I’d prefer some individual attention to being part of a swimming pool full of others, but that’s just me! Congrats!!!!
I thank you, Benz! As an added bonus, I think there is a low chance of any of the competition posts involving poetry! Also, I hope you vote for me each week until I am eliminated, or win.
You can count on me for votes every week!
Thank you again! Wow. I hope I win the lottery so I can pay you all back. Not that I’m buying votes, Blogger Idol! Ha ha!
See, I brought you good luck today. Tried to tell you. You’re welcome.
PS- please get out of my bathroom.
PPS- start Stafford or RG3?
RG3. That guy is a monster so far. And, alas, on my opponent’s team this week.
Okey dokey, switched them around. Yeah, he’s been racking up the stats; I was lucky to pick him up in late rounds. Cincy may slow him down a bit, but Stafford is off to a sluggish start.
See how many girls talk FF with you?
I’ll be back later with my bells to read your lesbian post. Keep my seat on your sofa warm…
Just you so far. I got first pick, so I got Arian Foster. But the draft slipped by and I somehow also got Trent Richardson. Nice, huh?
Roll Tide…
He’s in a great spot right now! He’s poised to see a lot more 3rd down play. Could be a great pick-up for ya. Those AL boys are fierce. (though as a GA girl, that pains me to say so)
I got Foster too as #1.
I’m in great shape this year. It will make up for last year when I was cooking during the draft, looked up and had just 45 secs to make my next pick, and accidentally drafted Terrell Owens
Also, thank you!
You have my vote. I wish I had known, I would liked to have auditioned and been one of the folks they take the piss out of, I had visions of Paula Abdul slurring, “It’s a no from me”
I think they just said no by not saying yes. I am not saying there were no drunken individuals – I’m often drunk when I write posts, so why can’t they be drunk when they judge them?
I feel better now
Dachshund,
In Layman’s terms, what do we need to do about Blogger Idol so you get off our backs?
Le Clown
Each week there will be a new topic that the contestants will blog about. In layman’s terms, go to the Blogger Idol Competition Blog, the address of which will be announced later, and vote your fucking asses off for me each week until I either get eliminated, or win. And thank you in advance.
Of course, I will be promoting you at the same time.
Edward,
I’ll be reading you from now on. When I see it’s time to vote, I’ll encourage my readership to go vote for you.
Le Clown
Thank you, sir. One or two of them might actually do it. If they’re not busy.
Congrats on the Blogger Idol thingy…I hope you make it to number one cause I so wanna hear the big finale song so I can cry and weep at the gloriousness of it all…yeah.
I hope so too. If I do, it will be because of how cool you are.
Congratulations on making the top 13! I guess you could say on a scale of 1 to 10 you’re a 10! Of course, you could also say on a scale of 1 to 13 you’re a 10, though I think it sounds better if you stick to the scale that only goes up to 10.
Thank you! You’re an eleven.
Atta boy. Oh and drop Greene, he is a fantasy football basket case.
He’s got 3 great games a season, and he had one in week 1. No one better in my league to replace him, until I can go look in depth
Had him on one of my teams last year, I believed the press clippings and drafted him fairly early I now hold a grudge haha
I had Michael Vick for two years. Ha 50 point games in year 1. Got hurt in year 2.
You never know with Vick, but, hell, what do I know, i started Cam Newton last night. Ask me how that turned out. At least I sat Williams and Stewart
WHAT is this queer language you two are speaking in?
They are verses from my religion, The Church of Monday Night Football
Bengali
I’m hoping my opponent today, who has RG3, doesn’t notice he still has Stewart, Hakeem Nicks AND Matt Forte slotted.
Stewart played (not played) last night so you are good on that one.
Oh, hang on – he didn’t notice Nicks! ha ha!
And Stewart! OMG. Sailing this week.
An easy one then. Love weeks like that.
Yeah, when people get busy and forget the Wednesday games….lol
Way to go, Hotspur.
Thank you Guapo. Hopefully it turns out better than the duel.
Hey, the duel was fun, and team canada needed the ego boost.
I know what you’re really saying: I needed the ego shrink.
I wouldn’t say that.
If your head got any smaller, your ears would just flap around like bat wings.
Don’t patronize me….
Congrats Edward!
Why, thank you!
I couldn’t be more happy for you… well, I could, but my heart might explode.
Get your book together – and I would recommend a companion art book – and I’ll pimp it in the coming weeks and years and stuff. Just in time for Xmas!
That is an offer I can’t refuse.
