Tomorrow morning I’ll have a new In My World™, and, then, in the afternoon, the contest will begin. It will be your job to pick the funniest of the six top ten lists presented to you (which is the same as finding mine out of the six – Muh ha ha ha!).
Bring it on!
Am I correct in assuming (I know, don’t assume….) that the lists will be anonymous? Oh, and fir…..
seconds I’m counting
jonag,
duh.
Anonymous, and the vote will be blind (you can’t see who is winning).
Spacemonkey, I wasn’t asking for my self (ahem), I was just asking for those less astute folks who might be wondering (yeah, that’s the ticket). I knew the answer all along.
Frank, just one question. Why do you want to win ? You don’t need a permalink don’t you, it is your own blog. Sometimes, you squeeze me. The winner will be the second one if you’re the first, so where’s the point ?
Amphitryon,
duh.
Space Monkey, do you need help ?
I want to win because I like winning.
Losing can be fun too if you throw a good tantrum.
At least it creates emulation around you.
Go Frank!
Since I’m not one of those selected (yea, that was random) I guess I have to cheer for Frank just to spite those who were “randomly” selected to go against him.
Amphitryon,
huh?
But Frank, if you win, what will you win ?
Yes SpaceMonkey, emulation. The word comes from the French word emulation which comes from the name of the mule. A mule is a female dunkey that had a baby with a horse. The half dunkey horsy is called a mule, and emulation means that the she-mule baby wants to be as his father the horse.
In this context, Frank J. is the horse and the competitors are the she-mules.
I wonder who is the dunkey ya.
I think that if Frank is a horse it is because of the stick of the pilgrim.
Amphitryon, this is a pg-13 blog, enough with the interspecies (which you sure seeem to know a LOT about, I might say, good job there.) breeding.
I am sorry, but it was so funny.
SpaceMonkey, what is a pg-13 blog ?
SpaceMonkey, if you did not want the explanations about the she-mule, you should have look into your dictionary about emulation, which is a real word. There is absolutely not any fantasy in here.
And if you don’t understand anything about pilgrim, you should start one to feel the pain walking on a road that never ends.
That’s a horse Frank. It is a calligramme of Guillaume Apollinaire. The emulation is a reference to a sarcastic poem I have written about the she-mule emule that wanted to become a horse.
I think that some people are really suffering a lack of the sense of the literature.
Some of my sculptures are signed and numeroted Derby. I have started with a sculpture that I made for a blind woman, and I made it wearing a scarf to cover my eyes.
The pilgrimage reference is only funny in the sense that a horse and a donkey seem to be a penitence, kind of repent before you reach the light of God.
It is just as in poesy, but it might be too zoozy for the people there.
LibertyBob – You can root for me, instead, since I was blatantly hand-selected for my performance in the last contest
Frank – Nobody throws a better tantrum than you, so I hope you lose.
Amphitryon, when something needs THAT much explanation, it’s not funny. And MORE explaining only makes it less so. Fun!
Harvey of BadMoney, I agree Frank should lose, to paraphrase Amphitryon,
I think that some people (Frank) are really suffering a lack of the sense of the LOSERature.
