Byron the Quokka is concerned that the comments aren’t coming in as fast as he anticipated. So he has decided to up the ante.
Now the prize will be that wonderful bicycle you see in the picture behind him. I don’t know how a quokka goes about obtaining a bicycle. I don’t see how Byron’s feet can reach the pedals.
But whoever posts Comment No. 44,000 will win either an autographed copy of my new book, The Temptation, or that really nifty bike that somehow fell into Byron the Quokka’s opportunistic little paws. “The wheels actually turn!” he claims. We currently have 43,539 comments, so that leaves a mere 461 to go.
So come on, out there–think of something witty, pithy, or unforgettable to say and post it as a comment!
Just hurry up and do it before whoever that bike really belongs to shows up and takes it away.
I think there’s a future, though–don’t you?–in offering other people’s property as prizes in my contests. There’s gotta be a political theory that goes along with that…

Now, Mr. Oaf, are you telling us that that is a comment???
By all means, Joshy.
*Sigh*… here we go again…
And I’ve been a’wonderin’… why are you talkin’ to yourself?
What a coincidence… I was about to ask you the same question!
Throw in a free Quokka, and I’m in.
🤔 Erm!
Is Byron going to deliver the prize personally?
I don’t know about paying his air fare from Australia.
Can I have Byron instead.
Byron is pretty cute, cuter than the centipede that appeared yesterday, that’s for sure!
I wonder if this comment would go through…
It did! 🙂
It did.
It did!
Reblogged this on Joshua Swanson and commented:
Hopefully this will bring more comments to the contest!
I’m commenting and just now following your blog!
Welcome, Lydia! You’ll like it here. And you can comment as often as you please.

Oh wait, is that all I said?
Well, at least it’s better than a period…

You are so funny, Elijah!
🙂
Thanks!
Like that?
😉👌

Haha!

Hmm, giving away Byron’s bicycle? I think that’s called theft, but I could be wrong.
Actually, giving away other people’s property is called government entitlements. 🙂
I don’t think it’s Byron’s bicycle. He can be a little cagey about stuff like that.
Wow! A Cagey Quokka!
I’m swinging in again to comment! LOL
This is a comment, it is apparently a comment, it is merely a comment, it is nothing more than a comment, in fact, it is more or less a comment, and of course, it is nothing but a comment.
And furthermore, this is not a “comet.”
Oh, my! 😉 Joshua… I don’t know what to say to you! That took brains!
LOL☺
Hahaha! 🙂
☺☺☺
Another comment never hurts!
And another one! ☺
Yeah! 😉
I wonder how many comments more to 500?
Sorry, my mistake… my careless mistake. How many more to “44,000”!! That’s what I meant…
What an U.F.O. I am!
Many, many thousands, I hope.
I still wonder why I said that…
