Man, this is a lot of work for one permalink, and I’m just talking about my side to organize this. I decided to sweeten the pot a little, in that the winner will not only get added permanently to my regular blogroll, but get a spot at the top also right under Rachel Lucas and above Liberal Assclown. Plus, the winner can fives times send me a post and it automatically goes to the top of that day’s Links of the Day™.
Anyway, using random numbers from random.org, here are the six groups (three of seven and three of six):
Group A:
Proveritate: A Principled Review of Current Events
This Side
Advanced Combo Tricks
Note-It Posts
Ramblings of SilverBlue

Group B:

Group C:

Group D:

Anyway, here are the questions for Group A. They are to be e-mailed to me, and no one can reveal what his or her answers is to the short answer question as the voting is to be blind to who wrote it. If anyone reveals on their site or elsewhere which entry they wrote, they will be disqualified.
GROUP A QUESTIONS:
What is the name of your site?
What is your preferred name as a blogger?
How long have you been blogging?
Give a brief description of your site.
Briefly praise Frank J. and IMAO. Name favorite post.
What’s your favorite movie?
Which Simpsons character do you most identify with?
SHORT ANSWER QUESTION: In 200 words or less, describe a situation or crisis in which Aquaman would be a great superhero.
Answers are due 24 hours from this posting. Godspeed.
Wouldn’t it be simplier to just buy a Nuke The Moon T-shirt?(Gallery Picture coming soon)
Mwah ha ha ha! My (ahem) semi-virgin sacrifice to the Humor god (Frank J., of course. What? You were thinking Scrappleface? Get thee behind me!) must have worked ’cause now my upcoming vacation is no longer a factor.
Good point, Dax. I want more pictures!
Aw crap, I’m in group F. Well, this’ll gimmee time to work out my template probs!
I, too am in group F. I hope I remember I’m in this thing:P
From the looks of it, Frank is going to be awfully tricky. A situation or crisis in which Aquaman would be a great superhero? Aside from the obvious answer (“underwater”), that seems impossible. I think its a trick. Take note group A…
The groveling contest begins
OK, Frank [not liberal assclown Glenn Reynolds] has divided up the people who are intrants, and has handed out the first set of questions. Most were general stuff about your blog and stuff to do with what you thought of…
Well, you won’t get e-mail reminders, so you’ll have to keep regularly reading my site (oh no! not that!).
Hey, Frank – speaking of Nuke the Moon T-Shirts….
I have received The Shirt. I can already feel its power infusing me, ‘tho I’ve yet to put it on. Yea, verily, when I take The Picture of me in The Shirt wielding my bastard sword, I shall attain Ultimate Power! And I shall use the Ultimate Power! to destroy the enemies of Frank J, including hippies, commies, the part of Glenn Reynolds’ brain that keeps him from linking Frank J, the popularity of Scrappleface, Democrats (except Zell Miller), anyone who criticizes Buck The Marine, anyone who gets in the way of Buck The Marine getting together with the Fox News Reporter, and so on and so forth.
Yes! I gaze upon The Shirt and forthwith my senses grow keen and my sword-arm grows strong!
I may even wear my Nuke The Moon shirt for fencing practice this weekend… whoa, talk about Invincible.
Well, I tried to finagle another permalink after Mean Mr. Mustard announced he would discontinue his blog, but Frank J. sicced Chomps on that suggestion. It didn’t stand a chance.:( Oh well, at least he changed the blog to “Over the Edge” (the rest of my Web site retains the name of “ColoradoPsycho.com.”)
Wow, that really is long and drawn-out…of course I would never question your judgment, but methinks you could have shortened things by announcing the new questions when posting the poll. On the other hand, participants get lengthier times in the spotlight by drawing things out. Being in group F, my time will be this fall. 🙂
Wow, that is the greatest question ever… Frank J. You are a good man!
Its almost as if a technically-minded engineer came up with this contest a la Dilbert’s various adventures.
Weeeiiirrddddd.
So it will be August before someone might vote me off the island? Frank, do you really think our attention spans are that long?
Late Night Snacks
Blogroll Survivor is now in full swing. My turn comes sometime during the next vernal equinox, or shortly before the Plant People from Planet X arrive, whichever is later… Tiger is also having a link contest, but his questions were…
I’m sure I’ll be bored of this by tomorrow 🙂
Another annoyance …
Frank is fiddling about with the format of his Blogroll Survivor thingee, probably so that the contestants in tribe F aren’t starting to draw Social Security before their turns come. I am REALLY snarky, today. And now I’m gonna be…
Frank J. Time
It’s been awhile seen I’ve linked to Frank J. and today should be an exception. Today I’m entered in his Permalinks contest and I will have to write valiantly to appeal to the Frank J audience. However, before we get…
Name: Advanced Combo Tricks
My Name: Tony
How Long: About a year
Brief Description: Anything I’m thinking about, day to day.
Brief Praise: Praise would be an understatement…where do I provide cash offerings?
Favorite Movie: Hunt for Red October
Simpsons Character: I most identify with Apu. 🙂
Short Response in 5 words: “Wonder Woman Takes a Bath”
And…in my sleep deprived state, I screwed up. 🙂
Apologies all around…
That’s okay; you can try again when I repeat the contest next decade 🙂
Frankly, my dear
And it’s time again to taunt Super Lucky Happy Fun Permalink Contest . The responses from the first group of randomly chosen supplicants have been posted, and it’s up to Frank’s readers to vote them off the island. As a…
Blog Wars?
Has Frank started something? Little Miss Attila is looking to pick a fight with somebody, to boost her traffic. Speaking of Frank, I see he’s moved up the schedule. Tuesday it’s my turn in the barrel.
The things that go on while I’m at work…
Harvey at Bad Money is in group F of Blogroll Survivor, but he wrote a great essay for the question given to group A. (Hmm…Aquaman, “A”. Wonder if group B’s question will be about Batman….?) I think we may need…
An evening stroll
I have been remiss in linking to Frank today. And since he linked to my Benefactor and Mentor, Pixy Misa, it’s time to stop taunting him for a typo. Group C has 24 hours to submit their entries to Frank’s…
Tuesday’s forecast:
Look for intermittant blogging with an 80% chance of gratituous linkage… Harvey has a laugh-out-loud response to Group E’s essay question… I hope the question for Group F is as inspiring, since three of my blog friends (Harvey, Jennifer and…
You vote now!
The answers for Group F are up over at the guy with the annoying banner ad’s. Three of my buddies are in this group, so I think one of other two are probably the ones with the lame answer that…
I just can’t wait to be King
Have any of ya’ll been paying any attention to that little fish contest called King of the Blogs? I mean, is this not some rehash of NZB’s New Weblog Showcase mixed in with some Frank J. style grovelin’? I dunno,…
