» rebecca | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

If only I was a rapper (aka 100m men’s sprint finalist) - I’d rap myself silly with this little ditty:

I’m the bog log under dog,
You’re my thunder - let’s go snog.
Kick it yeeeeeah I own you
You white egg nog.

Buuuut I’m not a rapper and I’m not a 100m sprinter. But you can see why I’m an internet nerd right? I’m a real underdog when it comes to being cool. I’ve never been cool. I’m like the Milhouse of my family let alone friends!

I’m glad I can move on now to the winner of the last competition, it wasn’t easy but I have to choose the best of the bunch. Rebecca’s entry was the best of the bunch! Congratulations Rebecca with a fabulous entry:

May be an underdog
When it comes to woodsmens’ games
Can’t walk on spinning log
Ax Throwing? The same.
Can’t overcome this bog.
I’m lame.

Not so lame that you can’t have a dollar! Remember though - don’t spend it all at once.

Morally? Monetarily? Maybe it’s talking about people entering the competition… like today. One person with a valid entry.

Rebecca you are the only person to be able to win today! Your prediction of tomorrow’s headline today was :

American Woman Predicts Future
(Now if I could do that,
I’d play the lottery as well as
One Dollar Jackpot
Maybe I’d win both ?)

Congratulations - looks like yours was a self fulfilling prophecy!

Andrew: “Wow! 300 entries! I can’t believe how well this jackpot went!”Co-Worker: “Dude you just totally pamelaandersonize everything about that stupid website - you got like 4 entries.”

And so it was it could have been. I must progorise myself for this latest jackpot - I did not adlerive the competition’s blog posts in enough time and so the email apparently was not gofted. It shall be thus that I almost extend the competition but I cannot, and we shall move on.

Today’s entries included:

• MEDIOT Def: An idiotic form of me. Usage: Wow, u are just lyk me….well, only difference is that u are a mediot…..ha ha ha.
• Exxonograph - a profit line graph that exponentially increases, eventually going off the chart.
• Pamelaandersonizing - inflating the truth well beyond belief.

The winner however was funny and witty - and right. It was Rebecca again - she’s got three in fairly short succession now, take a look at a few of the last competitions and you’ll see why!

Pamelaandersonizing- inflating the truth well beyond belief

Congratulations Rebecca! Enjoy your dollar again You should be able to spend that awesome largesse with much glee.

Over Easter - which was great indeed, I spent some time with a girl. She is about 17 months old, and has about 16 words. Her favourite is ‘mumma?’ but she could communicate pretty much whatever she wanted with any of the 16 words (but mostly just ‘mumma?’). Her life so far hasn’t been too exciting nor too boring. Although one thing is clear: every time someone does something that isn’t what she wants it’s the end of the world. I think if you were to make a synopsis of her life, it would be a series of events - usually not too distant from each other, where the world is about to end.

When we get older, we learn to ignore that feeling even if it is true. So what has your life been like this year? I’m really happy with the quality of your years so far. It’s like getting free interesting stuff in my inbox every day when I open it. Gold - pure gold? Here’s some you prepared earlier…

• Crap.
• I battle disease… and win. I wrestle with life.. and tie. I challenge procrastination… and lose.
• Jan - Sleeping on hols.
  Feb - Wife tells me to GetUp.org.au
  Mar - He is risen indeed.
• A whirlwind of partying, working and trying to find a new job all mixed in with a massive milestone in my life, moving out.
• I came back from mission. My friends moved to Canberra. I lost my job. Changed churches. Got dumped. Started uni. And soccer. Started feeling better.
• 2008 has been good so far
  Though challenging in places
  Some of it has been bizarre
  But I’ve met some nice new faces
• My year to far, I have to say, has been pretty good but I want more pay!!!

To sum it up, I think we should announce the winner - and if it weren’t for the last competition she might have had three in a row! Rebecca, your year hopefully just got one dollar better.

Although others may say quite clear,
“Having a terrible year!”
Always the same
Got noone to blame
From me? “No worries,” is all you’ll hear!

Great poem, great fun - thanks for the love

Rebecca wins with:

Less what I did with it as opposed to what happened to it. Rouge squirrels bit through vital engine wires, turning it into a paperweight.

What else did people do? Apparently very little. The car I have now, is the car I had when I left high school 11 years ago. It’s a great little Ford Laser, although it sounds like a tin can with rocks in it right now. We’ve had lots of journeys up and down Australia’s east coast. It’s been a great little guy. Pitty it’s on its way out, when it dies I will certainly not miss it. Stupid little hunk of junk.

• Our minivan was named Ptolemy. He died =(
  In Ptolemy, in 2006, we travelled to 33 U.S. states, compiling 12,000 miles in two months–camping everywhere.
• Driven from Seattle, WA to Ithaca, NY and gotten dragonflies stuck in the grill.
