Hello! Some quokka named Byron said he was busy with TV listings, so would I please remind people that there’s a comment contest going?
I checked! They’re looking for 85,000 comments, with less than 700 to go. The winner gets one of these cool T-shirts, or else one of this guy’s books with an autograph. I don’t know, I don’t read much–hard for me to turn the pages.
Anyhow, I’m supposed to tell you, “Byron says hello, and let’s have some comments.”
I wonder if I can find any nice tasty leaf-hoppers around here.
G’day! Byron the Quokka here, coming to you from Rottnest Island.
We need some cheering up around here, don’t you think? How about another comment contest? Phoebe suggested one yesterday, and we quokkas are already talking about it around the Clue board.
We have less than a thousand comments to go to reach 85,000, which ought to be a milestone… and I have all these cool T-shirts that say “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” Plus books. Lots and lots of books. Prizes galore. We might even hand out plastic army men!
So okay: I hereby announce the new comment contest, with the finish line at 85,000.
Let’s see how fast our readers can get there!
[Personal to Joshua: Yes, I know I’m late. I’ll try to get your prize shipped next week. Thanks for your patience.]
Ina has hit 80,000 right on the nose–another milestone achieved.
I think she won another contest not too long ago.
So here we are with our winner, and Byron the Quokka won’t have to do a comment contest and the Christmas Carol Contest at the same time. And Ina wins either an autographed book or one of those T-shirts that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” I should add, the book of her choice.
Don’t forget to email me your mailing address. I ought to have it already, but can’t seem to find it.
Please don’t let me get stuck trying to wrap up the comment contest and launch our annual Christmas Carol Contest at the same time! There are limits to what even a quokka can do!
With just 50 more views, we will get to that glorious milestone of 80,000 comments. I would like to be able to tell you that the winner who posts No. 80,000 will get a nice bicycle, or maybe a pyramid built in his or her honor–but you know how cheap Lee is. The winner will get an autographed book or one of those cool T-shirts that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.”
Come on, people! 50 comments–you could do that today!
(Be back in a bit with the weekend’s TV listings.)
G’day, jambo, kaor! Byron the Quokka here, trying to wrap up this comment contest. Have you noticed there are less than 200 comments to go to reach 80,000?
I would love to have this finished before Thanksgiving; because the day after Thanksgiving, I have to launch the Christmas Carol Contest!
The winner will receive either an autographed copy of one of Lee’s books, or this really cool T-shirt in MAGA red that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” You get to choose your prize!
So, before we dive into any nooze, and during the dive, and afterward, how about going to town with your comments? Just about anything goes–as long as it’s not abusive to anyone else on this site, packed with profanity, a cheap attempt to disguise a sales pitch as a comment, or simply too dopey to bother with.
Come on–less than 200 more! You can do that in a week! Or less, even! Don’t leave me twisting in the wind like some kind of boof who can’t run a comment contest…
G’day! Byron the Quokka here; and as you can see, I’m incognito. I don’t want to get stuck managing another contest! Crikey, I’m not the only Quokka here. Why can’t Feezy or Foozy take on some of this work?
Anyhow! We are shooting for 80,000 comments, a glorious milestone, we’ve got just 350 to go, and oh, brother, do I wish we’d get them up before Thanksgiving! Because the day after, I have to start the Christmas Carol Contest. (You can’t beat it for alliteration.)
If you are the lucky winner who posts Comment No. 80,000, you will win a prize of your choice: either a high post in the government of Bulgaria, an autographed copy of one of Lee’s books, or this cool T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.”
But it’s all up to you, O readers! Only 350 comments to go–you can do that standing on your heads (maybe another contest here, do ya think?).
Before anyone around here dives into any nooze, I’d like to make a plea for more comments.
Byron the Quokka here, in charge of contests. Closing in on the magic milestone of 80,000 comments, we have less than 500 to go. Five hundred! You could do that in ten days.
And I really wish you would–because I’m gonna have to launch our annual Christmas carol contest the day after Thanksgiving, and my brains’d fall out if the comment contest was still going and I had to manage both of them at the same time. My Uncle Roogie tried that once and it made him bald.
Prizes? We have these cool T-shirts, in MAGA red, that say “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” Also autographed copies of Lee’s books.
Oh! And the right to identify as Napoleon Bonaparte and make everybody else “celebrate” it. But let’s keep that between you and me!
G’day! Byron the Quokka here–and pardon me for eating my breakfast while I deliver this announcement; but if I don’t chow down on this crunchy yellow leaf, someone else’ll get it.
We have now more than 79,000 comments in the bin, and we’re shooting for that glorious milestone of 80,000. This time last year, we would’ve easily collected 1,000 more comments in half a month. This year? Well, let’s see!
The lucky winner who posts Comment No. 80,000 will win either an autographed book or one of those cool T-shirts that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” The King of Rottnest Island wears one.
Ah! And how do you suppose he got to be king of Rottnest Island in the first place? Eh? He won a bloomin’ comment contest, that’s how! He was universally admired for that: everybody demanded he be king.
All comments are eligible, except for the following: comments abusive to anyone else at this site, f-bombs and other profane expressions, ads thinly disguised as comments–which means someone thinks we must be really stupid–and comments just too dopey to bother with. Beyond that, anything goes.
Crikey, here I am again! I guess if you’re a quokka and your name is Byron, you can forget about getting any rest around here.
I’m here to remind you we’ve got a comment contest going, shooting for that milestone of 80,000 comments. We currently have just over 78,800, which means we have less than 1,200 comments to go. Come on, everybody, saddle up!
Ordinarily the winner would get an autographed book or a really cool T-shirt, but I thought we needed something a bit more exciting.
See that nice ocean in the background? How would you like to win a ship to sail upon that ocean? But you can’t see the ship I’m talking about–because it’s under the water!
That’s right–you could win a submarine! Just be the lucky blighter who posts Comment No. 80,000. Feel just like Captain Nemo! Only without the giant squids, of course.
How would you like to be president of the Untied States–with absolute power to do any flamin’ thing you want?
Well, now the exalted rank of POTUS can be yours… if you’re the lucky reader who enters Comment No. 80,000 on this blog!
Yes, we have it on unimpeachable authority (heh-heh!) that the Constitution is soon to be retired, with the country governed from now on by whatever Mandate pops into a president’s or governor’s head. Imagine the fabulousness of handing down your first Mandate! And everybody has to obey it–or else! “From now on all doorknobs must have smiley faces on them!” “All persons whose names begin with R, report to The Camp!” “Odd-numbered days are now Barack Obama Day!” I mean, you could go just complete crazy…
Best of all, you won’t even have to be elected! Just win the comment contest. And the next thing you know, you’ll be moving into a Presidential Palace (just like the one in the picture!) and getting set to Change The World!
