Vote for your favourite detachment from reality story. Contributers may vote as may their friends (non-imaginary) and family, and random individuals paid small sums with a view to corrupting them into padding the vote. No-one is monitoring THIS election. You can read the full stories in the comments here.
(1) Drunkenspaniel and the employee who was amazed to hear that you have to do what your boss tells you if you want to get paid.
(2) Kim and the blonde who rummaged through the kitchen drawers looking for the new batteries to make her car headlights come back on.
(3) Gamba for the private school girl who couldn’t work out why slum-dwellers didn’t just move to a nicer area.
(4) Rick whose Mum thinks that the trouble with the Middle East is that the Israelis won’t stop fighting the Jews.
(5) Babymother nominates herself for a tragically misguided attempt to persuade her husband that she knew about football.
(6) Peter invites our attention to his sister who believes that the famous naval battle of Trafalgar was fought in Trafalgar Square in London.
(7) Brother Lawrence for the Nun who thinks that the Lord works in sufficiently mysterious ways that she need not plug in her speaker wires in order to hear music.
(8) Booger for the colleague to whom it came as news that the Republic of Ireland was … er … a republic.
(9) Pog nominates her rampantly egomaniacal boss for his annoyance at the fact that everyone else in the business is too fond of themselves.
(10) Sammyface admits to still having some difficulty in working out on which day of the week Friday falls.
(11) Useless man auto-nominates for his suggestion than an elderly lady might wish to consider a second-hand hip.
(12) Teacher Lady nominates the student whose grades were at risk as a result of a worldwide stapler famine.
That’s yer lot. Get voting and, more importantly, visit some of the sites. there are some truly excellent bloggers amongst the nominees.
can i vote for me? i have more silly stories from the weekend. i’m truly a ditz
Of course you can. In fact jen has already voted for you so that would make the runaway leader at present.
Please can I vote for them all, so we all have at least one vote?
oh!! thanks Jen….
It’s a dashed close run thing, but Kim gets my vote.
Gambs – You can’t but I can so everyone has one vote.
Im voting for Kim! Thank God we’re not blonde in this house!
I’d have to go with Gamba’s story.
They are all so good. I want everyone to win. I think I have to choose Pog’s, though, because her blog has been so entertaining while she’s been working for Bonkers et al, and I’m going to miss reading about the crazy things that happen there.
I’m going to vote for Kim, just because I have done a very similar thing, back in the days when I was still blonde *blushes*
I vote for Teacher Lady because she is my all time fave! Love her blog and her stories! You go Teacher Lady! You have my vote.
Teacher Lady! Always a hilarious, LOL biting entry.
I have to vote for babymother because a) she is my sister and b) she was the only one to actually nominate herself…
Grunts – She was one of three people to nominate themselves but I think the blood tie triumphs in any event.
Ah whoops, that should read the only one to nominate herself except for Sammyface and Useless-man, neither of whom are related to me in any way, as far as I know.
I vote Teacher Lady because I love her and am secretly stalking her.
Norah – I OWE YOU PLONK. can you email me a delivery address etc so I can send it to you? If you would prefer you could commute the entitlement to Farley’s Rusks.
I am voting for Sammyface AGAIN! Can you do that? Can you vote twice?
introducing self…formally.
i don’t believe we have met. but as you sign off with a name like MOOBS…you had me at hello.
thanks for stopping by zenproof!!
Sorry I’m late. But I’m afraid I would’ve had to vote for moobs’ story anyway, and he didn’t include it in the vote – which caused splurting of hot coffee through nostrils. Which I clearly enjoy very much. Atishoo.
I have to think about this a little more…Gamba or Brother Lawrence…Brother Lawrence or Gamba…Gamba, Kim, Brother Lawrence, Spaniel….I’ll be back in 5.
I can’t pick…it’s a toss up between Gamba and Brother Lawrence… maybe I’ll sleep with both of them and then let you know…okay?
Actually, I think that this is a BRILLIANT idea! I’ll sleep with all the contestants and then I’ll let you know. Okay, let’s get this party started.
I think Sammy. That’s pure stupidity, that is.
aww gee thanks spaniel
they’re all brilliant but Gamba gets mine (I was very tempted by Rick’s Mum)
Thanks for considering me Heather.
Last night I asked Elf (rockyhorrorelf.blogspot.com) if she’d voted for me but she said something about your blog makes her “Stupid piece of crap” computer crash. I think it was just an excuse.
Rick I had already credited you with a virtual vote from Elf.
28 responses, Moobs!! You must have these kinds of contests more often. They obviously get us scurrying out of the woodwork…. not to mention THINKING. And READING. And, meeting people. And spitting out our beverages through the nostrils.
Thank you. Now I must go back to reading the nominees…
Well hell …enter a silly little contest and now Im getting offers of SEX from gay guys !! My sex life is definately looking up ! *winks at Kevin*
I’m quite tempted to vote for my own colleague, just because it’s my entry and I never win anything. However, if she finds out she’s won then she’ll just get even sillier, so my vote goes to Pete’s sister.
