Lamest Guest Post Contest July 30, 2006

Posted by Michael in Websites.
trackback

I’m just opening this post so that people can start making nominations. The contest is not over until Ace comes back and kicks us out.

I humbly suggest that my posts featuring dinosaurs, Pam Anderson cheesecake, and country music are worthy of your consideration

Gotta admit, though, Geezer’s dragonfly picture is a strong contender.

My biggest concern is that Dave is going to steal the prize with some last-minute pool blogging.

P.S. In the other sweepstakes, I just got my seventh spurwing plover comment.

Update: WOO HOO! Make that eight nine spurwing comments.

Comments

1. Dave in Texas - July 30, 2006

Dino post so far. God that was lame.

2. Michael - July 30, 2006

I actually got an email from the Commissar at Politburo Diktat telling me he thought it was great, and he put up a post just to link it. But, as he pointed out on his blog, it was an inside joke that only about five people would get.

Good enough for me.

3. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

Well, the Dino post photo and caption made me laugh.
“Ace laughs, Paul sulks”.

4. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

I think a better contest would be, who gets the most spurwing comments.
Of course divided by the ratio of posts/comments.

Just to be fair.

5. Dave in Texas - July 30, 2006

Men plan. God laughs.

6. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

*Dave searches his dresser drawer frantically*

“Honey, have you seen my Hugh Jackman underwear? I need to take a picture of it for a post at AoS”.

7. Michael - July 30, 2006

Of course divided by the ratio of posts/comments.

Nope, not buying that formula. It’s total spurwing comments in whole numbers. I worked for those comments, dammit.

I also feel entitled to some kind of special award for being the first person to post a video on AOSHQ. I know he must have some reason for not doing that, but he neglected to mention it in his “rules.” Hope he’s not too pissed about it.

Men plan. God laughs.

Damn you, Dave! You are going to pool-blog, you bastard. That’s just not fair.

8. Michael - July 30, 2006

I really loved this comment at Ace’s:

Wow. I just looked at this weekend’s posts. You guest posters abused this blog like a rented Ace’s sister. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

9. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

I kind of scanned the IB guest posts and didn’t see Skinbad or any of the IB babes except LauraW and she posts there all the time.

Who else missed the golden opportunity?

Maybe Skinny will be a late-entry into the contest.

10. Michael - July 30, 2006

Somewhere Skinny said he was going to pass. I think he’s like actually busy with real life or something.

I’d like to think the IB babes are saving themselves for us.

11. BrewFan - July 30, 2006

Man proposes, God disposes.

OK, I’m a pedant.

BTW, I’m kicking youse guy’s asses when it comes to number of comments per post at AoSHQ. Bwahahahaha!

12. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

BTW, I’m kicking youse guy’s asses when it comes to number of comments per post at AoSHQ. Bwahahahaha!

True Brew.
We *could* have posted some Flypaper Posts like Top Ten lists or Movie posts but we were going for Content.

Wasn’t that what we were doing, Michael?

13. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

Brew that lead-off haiku of yours was priceless.

14. BrewFan - July 30, 2006

Now that I think about it, I may have pandered to the crowd. And thanks for not mentioning that half the comments in that thread were mine! lol!

15. Michael - July 30, 2006

Wasn’t that what we were doing, Michael?

Yes, I believe it was.

I, for one, was not going to lower myself to yelling “Flame War” or “Haiku Flame War” or any such nonsense.

I took the high road, and actually found pics of Pamela Anderson sticking her tits out and stuff. And I am not the least bit jealous that Brew is getting all the comments. No sirree Bob.

Not. At. All. Jealous.

16. Retired Geezer - July 30, 2006

And thanks for not mentioning that half the comments in that thread were mine!

Crap, another missed opportunity.

17. Dave in Texas - July 30, 2006

Brew, that’s cause you’re working harder at it than the rest of us.

At least you were until Michael posted that recent crap.

18. elzbth - July 30, 2006

I nominate the Mentos videos – both of them.

19. Dave in Texas - July 30, 2006

Dang I’m right there with you elzbth… those sucked ass.

20. Mrs. Peel - July 30, 2006

RL gets in the way of blogging.

In other news, swing dancing totally kicks ass. That is all.

21. Lipstick - July 30, 2006

Mrs. Peel, tell us. Did the cute guy show up again?

Of course he did. Did he ask you out?

22. Mrs. Peel - July 30, 2006

🙂

23. Dave in Texas - July 30, 2006

‘Reparation for the past, and swing dancing for the future,’ is our motto

24. Ace of Spades HQ - July 30, 2006

Thank You, Ace . . . — Michael

. . . for the opportunity to play with your blog. I still haven’t found your stash of lesbian porn that must be here somewhere, but still, it was fun. Don’t forget to change your password tomorrow. Thanks also…

25. Brett Bullington - July 31, 2006

You all did a great job–I really enjoyed it.

Michael: Ace doesn’t have a rule against embedding videos, he just doesn’t know how to do it. He mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to start doing that.

Now I’ve got to decide where I stand on this voting thing…

26. spurwing plover - July 31, 2006

You all suck

27. Pixy Misa - July 31, 2006

Michael – just so you know: I have a new nephew (10 days old) named Darwin.

I had NOTHING to do with the name selection.

28. BrewFan - July 31, 2006

Pixy,

lol! Now I’m going to have to lobby my daughters to name one of their next kids Martin Luther or something!

29. PattyAnn - July 31, 2006

I had only one cup of coffee so I posted my nomination over on the AOS site and now that I’ve had two cups of coffee II understand I’m supposed to nominate here.
I enjoyed all the guest blogging (except those awful mentos vids) but since I have to choose I vote for BrewFan for his flame wars one and haiku.

30. kevlarchick - July 31, 2006

Mrs Peel, let’s take this over to the IB Wimmins and Spurwing Only blog. Tell all about your man!

31. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

You are going to pool-blog, you bastard. That’s just not fair.

It’s not about fair, it’s about winning. Screw you bub.

I want to know about this boy Mrs. Peel. And don’t get your dander up again about me calling him a boy. He’s a man to you. He’s a boy to me. Nothing wrong with that.

Is he a nice boy?

32. harrison - July 31, 2006

Mrs. Peel-
We need to know about this fella you’ve been courtin’ because we have to be sure he’s good enough for you.
You’re like a daughter to us old guys.

*gets weepy*

33. Retired Geezer - July 31, 2006

*stuck in Haiku mode*

The CAPS LOCK is on

Apostrophe key is blocked

It’s Spurwing Plover

34. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

harrison, don’t be gettin sappy now, we may have to kill him.

35. lauraw - July 31, 2006

I’d like to think the IB babes are saving themselves for us.

Welp, there goes my lunch.

36. Mrs. L - July 31, 2006

Nothing could suck harder than the call for civility. That is a violation of the AoS lifestyle.

37. kevlarchick - July 31, 2006

“I’d like to think the IB babes are saving themselves for us.”

Yeah, that’s it Michael. You’re dead on brotha.

Except for the lovely Mrs Peel, who is saving herself for true love/lust/soul deep intellectual emotional connection.

38. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

and a guy who digs babes with one leg.

39. Retired Geezer - July 31, 2006

and can *still* swing dance.

40. Tom M - July 31, 2006

While guest posting.

41. Mrs. Peel - July 31, 2006

What can I say? I’m a woman of many talents.

On the topic of IB Wimmins Only comments, here is the harrowing tale of the very first time I was ever asked for a date, back in 1999:

This fellow – we’ll just call him “Darren” – was a senior, while I was a sophomore. I knew him from German club, and had a mild crush on him for some reason or other. On the way out of school one day, I ran into him, and we talked for a few moments. He discovered that I like baseball, and asked me to go to a game with him. I accepted, and he said he’d call me.

I never saw or heard from him again.

…Until last summer, when he emailed me out of the blue asking if I remembered him and saying that he had Astros tickets, so maybe if I remembered him and wanted to get together sometime I could write him back. Apparently, my acceptance was supposed to remain valid for six frickin’ years.

Needless to say, I declined his generous offer.

42. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

the very first time I was ever asked for a date, back in 1999:

1999.

My vasectomy was 8 years old by then.

God. They say youth is wasted on the young. Whoever “they” are, they are goddamned right about that.

43. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

I meant “that’s an amusing anecdote Mrs. Peel and you sure showed him”.

forgot my manners.

44. Michael - July 31, 2006

My vasectomy was 8 years old by then.

LMAO!

45. Dave's Vasectomy - July 31, 2006

I’m hitting puberty about now.

46. BrewFan - July 31, 2006

Mrs. Peel is the same age as my oldest daughter. What relevance that has I’m not sure. It is a little unsettling though.

47. Michael - July 31, 2006

Actually, I now think my premature “Thank You” exit post now deserves some consideration for the prize, given that Ace came back a day late, is claiming to be exhausted, and still wants us to do the heavy lifting for him.

48. Dave in Texas - July 31, 2006

it was excessively suck ass

49. Retired Geezer - July 31, 2006

Mrs Peel is not *that* much older than my granddaughter who will arrive here tomorrow.

Dave and Brew only *think* they’re old.

50. John - August 1, 2006

All I know is that Ann Coulter thinks you are all sappy wusses.

And she’s got the gun.

And Jack M can shove civility up his ass.

And, Mrs. Peel, if a guy thinks about you after 6 years of not seeing you, isn’t that a) a compliment, and b) an indication of depth and sincerity? (or c) that the guy thinks really far ahead (see b)) Just askin’.

51. Mrs. Peel - August 1, 2006

I saw it more as unbelievable arrogance, because the guy assumed that I would still be available and interested.

What do the IB Wimmins think?

52. kevlarchick - August 1, 2006

Mrs Peel, I agree with you. That is some arrogance. A guy I was pining over in college rejected my affections, then came back a year later and said “I’m ready for a relationship.”

First of all, that’s a very gay thing for a man to say at a drunken frat toga party; secondly, I wasn’t “waiting for him.” So I sorta chucked and said “sorry pops, I gotta go–see those guys over there? They want me NOW.”

I had the tap to the keg. They were howling at me like hungry wolves. A chick needs to feel “wanted.”

53. BrewFan - August 1, 2006

“I’m ready for a relationship. First of all, that’s a very gay thing for a man to say at a drunken frat toga party”

Do you need me to translate that for you?

54. kevlarchick - August 1, 2006

Damn you Brew. The fact that my toga was soaked down the front with spilled beer is completely irrelevant.

55. Dave in Texas - August 1, 2006

You keep using this word “irrelevant”. I do not think it means what you think it means.

56. Lipstick - August 1, 2006

Mrs. Peel, it sounds like he was going through a dry spell, a famine, and that made him think back on the “feast” times and the opportunities he turned down.

IMO, the only way he could have salvaged it was to have admitted that he messed up, acknowledged that you probably have many men who want your company, and begged you for another chance, if you happen to be available.

Not: “Hey dude, I have some tickets, wanna go?”

57. BrewFan - August 1, 2006

Maybe he was in a car accident and got amnesia. He might have thought it was just yesterday that he asked Mrs. Peel to a ball game. I swear, you women always want to overlook the most obvious explanations

58. Lipstick - August 1, 2006

Unlike you “amnesia prone” guys, we NEVER forget.

Sucks, doesn’t it?

59. BrewFan - August 1, 2006

Unlike you “amnesia prone” guys, we NEVER forget

Truer words have never been spoken.

60. Dave in Texas - August 1, 2006

women never forget

no shit, really?

It’s all becoming clear now, but it’s like I’m in some crazy mix-up alternate universe… I am going to call it CrazyWorld.

61. BrewFan - August 1, 2006

In CrazyWorld women want to know if they’re fat but if you tell them they get mad!

62. lauraw - August 1, 2006

The answer to that question is always, “My darling, you look as lovely as the day I first laid eyes on you.”

Then while she’s standing there stunned, wondering who you are, you sneak out the room.

63. Retired Geezer - August 1, 2006

In CrazyWorld, men always wipe the seat.

I’m like totally there, Dude.

64. Dave in Texas - August 1, 2006

In CrazyWorld™, they actually vote on the LAMEST guest post at aceofspadeshq this past weekend.

I’m just sayin. Dangling chads and all.

65. elzbth - August 1, 2006

Nominated: Mentos Posts
Vote: 1
It wins.

66. Dave in Texas - August 1, 2006

In CrazyWorld™, one vote decides the winner.

67. BrewFan - August 1, 2006

Not so fast. My flame threads were nominated by the lovely and bright Patty Ann

68. Elizabeth - August 1, 2006

Brewfan’s flame threads
Nominated: yes
Votes: 0

69. HayZeus - August 1, 2006

Awwright, first you add these vowel things to your blog header and now your name! Whatupwiddat?!

70. elzbth - August 2, 2006

Are you talking to me?

71. BrewFan - August 2, 2006

“Brewfan’s flame threads
Nominated: yes
Votes: 0 ”

What!!!!! This is what Patty Ann said:
“…but since I have to choose I vote for BrewFan for his flame wars one and haiku.”

I think this election is rigged.

72. kevlarchick - August 2, 2006

If Michael’s in on it, it’s rigged.

73. Dave in Texas - August 2, 2006

In CrazyWorld™, vowels mysteriously appear then disappear for no apparent reason other than having been noticed.

74. HayZeus - August 2, 2006

Are you talking to me?

Yes! No! I was talking to Elizab

waitaminute…

*head explodes*
