G’day! Byron the Quokka here, and we’re going down the home stretch of our Bell Mountain trivia contest. The winner gets an autographed book.

There are twenty questions, and here’s No. 17. Ready?

Who is Jack’s only living blood relative?

Like I told you up front, the questions get harder as they go along. Don’t feel bad–Lee’s wife Patty is really bombing these questions. Of course, any quokka could answer them all–answer ’em correctly, I mean. Even a platypus could answer ’em all, if you don’t count wrong answers.

And don’t forget the Milestone Comment Contest! Post Comment No. 50,000 and win an official Quokka T-shirt.

Keep Those Comments Coming!

Crikey, look at all these bicycles! You’d think we could give out at least one bicycle as a comment contest prize.

Never mind! The prize for posting Comment No. 50,000 on this blog is an official and bona fide Quokka T-shirt! And so far we’re at Comment No. 49,195–which means there are only 805 comments left to go.

Yesterday we had 72 comments, but today we’re nowhere near that. I keep telling Lee he’d get more comments if he wrote more interesting posts–mostly about quokkas!–but I don’t think he believes me.

Look! Is that a great prize, or what?

Byron the Quokka, signing off–and don’t stop commenting!

See? See? Toldja it’d be a great prize!

As for that dingo who said “All that fuss over a goofy T-shirt,” well, I guess this puts him in his place! Ha, ha, ha!

Now let’s see how fast we can run up those last thousand comments.

And don’t forget the Bell Mountain trivia contest, in which the winner gets an autographed book. That lets us quokkas out, ’cause we already have all the books.

And This Is the Prize!

Quokka T-Shirt | Funny Australian Quokka with Baby

G’day, mates! Byron the Quokka here. And how about that for a prize, eh? A genuine Quokka T-shirt, with me babysitting my cousin Lucie when she was just a little tyke. Which I think was last week.

We have it in Extra-Large (bright red) and Large (quokka blue). If you’re small, you can always use the shirt for a nightie.

All you have to do to win it is post Comment No. 50,000 on this blog. And we’ve just now passed 49,000, so that last thousand comments should go really fast. Crikey–what could be more appealing that a Quokka T-shirt? I told Lee it’d be even better than a bicycle.

Any and all comments are eligible, with the following exceptions: comments abusive of anyone else on this site; comments containing blasphemy or profanity; comments that are really commercials posing as comments (like even a kangaroo couldn’t see through that!), and comments simply too inane to bother with. And whoever you are, you can enter as often as you like.

OK, it’s not quite as good as really being a quokka–but it’s the next best thing.

Who will be the lucky winner?

Excuse me for now, I have to put Lucie back to bed… she gets over-excited by these comment contests.

Byron: Bell Mountain Trivia Question No. 16

G’day, mates! I’ve got an apple! That nice man traded it to me for that bicycle that I found just standing there on its kickstand. Guess I got the best of that deal!

But I’m here this morning to present Question No. 16 of our Bell Mountain Trivia Contest. There’s one reader who’s gotten all right answers so far, but I’m not allowed to tell you who it is. It’s not one of us quokkas: these questions are too blinkin’ easy for us.

Anyway, here it is, No. 16–

Who killed Shogg the Giant?

Meanwhile, as soon as we get 44 more comments, I’ll be able to reveal the prize for posting Comment No. 50,000. You only get an autographed book for winning the trivia contest, but for putting up the 50,000th comment–well, whoopee! Forty-four more comments, bringing us to 49,000, and I let the secret out. And watch you all scramble to win the prize!

This is totally my idea. Lee has his doubts, still. But he’ll see I’ve been right all along.

We’re Almost to Almost There

G’day! Byron the Quokka here, with another one of those bicycles Lee won’t let me give out as the prize for winning the comment contest.

But we’ve got another prize that’s just as good! Better, even. And whoever posts milestone Comment No. 50,000 will win it.

Now we haven’t told you yet what that prize will be, and I’m not allowed to tell you until we reach 49,000 comments. So far we’ve got 48,846–which means we still have 154 comments to go; and then, and only then, I shall reveal the prize for No. 50,000. Some of you have been after me to let it out now, but I just can’t do it: he’d never trust me again.

Believe me, those last thousand comments will come quick! We are almost there to almost there, as we say on Rottnest Island.

I wish my legs were long enough to let me ride a bicycle.

 

Byron: the Prize is Here!

G’day, mates! Byron the Quokka here–and so is the prize for the human who posts Comment No. 50,000 on this blog.

Yep, it came in the mail this morning, so now you can be sure that one of you will win it. Here on Rottnest Island, us quokkas are getting up a pool to see who can pick the winner. I’m not allowed to tell you who I’m betting on, so don’t ask.

Any road, 50,000 comments is a big milestone and it’ll only come along once, so the prize has to be something special. Which it is!

Well, then, what is it? Ha! When we’ve got 49,000 views, that’s when I’ll tell you–and then watch everybody scramble to be No. 50,000. Crikey, we’re making history!

C’mon, Mates! Help Lee Out

G’day! Byron the Quokka here, clandestinely–don’t want Lee to know about it.

Thing is, the poor blighter has to write a Newswithviews column today and he don’t know what to write about. Well, crikey, says I! Betcha one o’ those great big coins with a kangaroo on it that one of you readers out there can come up with a topic. Me, I’d like him to do one of those satires: maybe something about how quokkas make do without pianos (except one family I know has their nest inside a piano, I don’t know how they managed it).

Well, if you have any ideas, just send ’em in this morning, he’s got to write it up this afternoon.

That’s me in the picture up there, by the way, coming back outside after my How to Write Good lesson with Ms. Crepuscular.

Bell Mountain Trivia Question No. 15

G’day! That’s me, Byron the Quokka, jumping across the shark-infested River of Doom to bring you Question No. 15 in our Bell Mountain trivia contest. Whew–got across unscathed! And here’s your question:

In what battle was Angel, King Ryons’ hawk, honored by the Hosa warriors?

Only five questions to go, and I’m afraid I’m gunner have to make ’em hard, from here on out. How fast can you read Bell Mountain books? Meanwhile, if you’re new here and you don’t know what I’m talking about, just go to the home page and click “Books.”

Well, I got across the River of Doom all right. Now comes the tricky part: getting back.

Byron: Another Friendly Reminder

G’day, mates! Byron the Quokka here–and why do I look so blinkin’ happy?

Well, all right, we quokkas are happy most of the time. But today we just found out that we’re able to offer that fantastic prize we talked about, to whoever wins the big comment contest and posts Comment No. 50,000.

Ah, but what is it? Sorry, but I’m not allowed to tell you that until we have 49,000 comments. Last I looked, we have 48,541. So if you want to see what the prize is… well, get chatting. And then watch those last thousand comments go up like crazy!

Tomorrow I’ll put up Question No. 15 of the Bell Mountain trivia contest–that’s 15 out of 20. Whoever wins that one gets an autographed book. We do have someone in the lead, but I’d rather not tell you who it is. You can have fun trying to guess!

And now I’m late for my How To Write A Great Novel lesson with Ms. Violet Crepuscular, so I’ll see you tomorrow.
