Winning Kevin and Sylvie’s Book (Part One)

Two hours to go in the deadline for Christmas Delivery of the book produced by Fuelmyblog. Quote the Fuelmyblog blog:

“The last day to order the book and guarantee a delivery before Christmas, is the 12th December at 11.59pm PST.

If you are part of the book, why not add the following badge to your blog? Remember to add that all profits are going to Doctors Without Borders as chosen by us, the community.”

Noted, is that Kevin has a copy he intends to give out to the best post. I was thinking that since I won the oneredpaperclip book with my post about it here, then gave said book to Daddypapersurfer because apparently he wanted it desperately… I was thinking that if this book is won by Daddypapersurfer, that he should give it to me.

Wouldn’t you think so?

Indeed. He’s far too busy posting (and allowing comments) about beaver jank, two kiwis and a banana, and all kinds of spitting. I daresay he’s not trying very hard to win this book.

It looks like I’ll have to do it myself. So Kevin… if you’re paying attention. I plan to write about the book again. Because you know that I’m of Ukranian descent (seriously, you did know, didn’t you), and Ukranians celebrate Christmas Eve on January 6. I think that gives me even more time to plug your fabulous book to all the Ukranians out there in Interwievee-land.

Yes… I know. Some of them might not even know what an avatar is.

Even worse…

Some of them might not know what a computer is.

Neverthemind, I, fracas, will endeavor to encourage book sales to throngs of Ukranians for whom that “Night Before Christmas” poem was written. Indeed… recall the line, “and I in my kerchief?”

Do you know anyone who wears a kerchief but for the Ukranians? (Shut up, I know it’s called a Babushka.. we still called it a kerchief when I was little.)

So dear Kevin and Sylvie. The deadline for Christmas delivery for you regular folk may be up, but we Ukranians still have two weeks.

And I’m on it like sour cream’s on a perogy.

For sure DaddyP should give the book to you, he can keep the fruit though…

Comment by Linky Love

For sure DaddyP won’t give you the book for the reason that I’d never win it. Only goddesses should win such finery and gifts beyond the dreams of avarice.

BTW, January 6th is the date of my wedding anniversary – does this make me Ukranian as well as an honoray lesbian? and you ask me why I’m confused ……….. and where did you find that picture of my younger sister? …….. spooky

Comment by Daddypapersurfer

we’ve got a polish patient who wears a babushka !

Comment by nursemyra

sssshhh….”There is so much going on behind our back Kev…”
That’s a very nice picture Fracas…I am sure Daddy P won’t be able to ignore the hint now…do you think the coincidental wedding anniversary thing is another one of his plots?
And btw you look grand in the book!

I, er… my cat, posted an entry on my blog, but I can’t figure out how a person votes for someone’s entry. It’s hard enough finding the original contest entry blog entry.

Are they just going by normal daily fuels?

Comment by jayleen

I believe so Jayleen. I’ve left links to the original entry post in my latest Just Fraccing Around post at the fuelmyblog blog. I suggest you add a comment there and Kevin or Sylvie will answer you. They check the posts and comments regularly.

It won’t matter for example, if people who aren’t entered in the contest have more fuels than someone who is entered… they’ll just be comparing the fuels of the contest entrants I imagine. That makes sense to me… and is why it’s important to let them know you’ve entered.

Comment by fracas

Yup. I’m going to put up an entry/score board to count down to the deadline. Will come back and give you the url. : )

I keep losing my internet connection but will try to keep up if I can. Otherwise, good luck everyone!

I did find it thanks to your link Fracas! Yay YOU! And am fueling as the silly connection will allow. It connects for a few minutes and then wipes me out for a couple of hours! MROW! lol

Love ya Fracas! You always get my vote!!!!

Comment by linda

Good on you Linda!

Comment by fracas

Thanks. On second thought, I also posted them on the main page of my blog. lol. Because burying stuff just never works… lol… except the bodies of the people who annoyed us one too many times. But I digress… so they’re on the main page, too. Some really awesome ones in there.

Comment by linda

If people could take the trouble to arrange competitions when I am able to participate, it would be appreciated. I rely on these to provide presents for all my friend.
Now, if I had the odd $500 dollars ………………..mmmmm?

Comment by Daddypapersurfer

There are exactly 15 hours left until Dec 15 midnight, EST…. *cough* and I have a post on my blog with all the links one might need… *cough*

Comment by linda

That’s a nasty *cough* you have there young Linda – oh dear

Comment by Daddypapersurfer

DP. I am sorry. I’ve obviously ignored your hints and have failed to notice that you’re trying to tell me you’re in need of some cash.

I promise later today I shall prepare something to help you out.

And now… you’ll be driven nutters just wondering what that might be.

Comment by fracas

Hmmm. Someone else is sure to post that you’re already there… but we’ll just pretend it was the suspense, ok?
