Comment Contest?

. . .  without a comment!

I’ve added a ‘Top Comment’ widget to my sidebar to get an idea as to who
comments the most.
There were no surprises (Maureen) but I thought it was interesting at the very least.
I’m thinking about a contest though . . .
Most comments at years end for the top 3 visitors will garner you a prize.
Right now I’m thinking about something with my URL on it (a t-shirt, kitchen magnet, bumper sticker, coffee mug)
Maybe a favorite book of mine that I could ‘dedicate’ to the individual winners.
Or I do have a collection of vintage postcards which I could send hand-written messages to
the three winners. (maybe all three prizes!)
Something to shoot for?
Your call.
That said, please comment.
As much as you can.
Give yourself a winning chance.
Get yourself into the top 12 (if you’re not already there) and who knows?
Yeah, I love traffic almost as much as I like comments.
Can you tell?
And it looks like I may have New Years Eve off this year from gigging (first one in 30 years)
Could be fun to post the winners at midnight as the ball drops . . .
:mrgreen:

ps. those of you that don’t have a gravatar (image next to your name)
go to Gravatar.com and set up an account.
It’s free, painless and easier than giving blood.
And you can pick your own picture!
Once you’re done, your gravatar appears whenever you post a comment!
Very cool.

    Oh my goodness! I kinda love contests – especially when there are prizes and your prizes are most tempting! And it looks like I may have a chance to win one. I’ll bet if I commented every time I came by just to see if there’s anything new, but there wasn’t, I could move up to 1st place. ; )

    You are head to head with Moe. Good luck.
    Chances are you will be in the top three by years end.
    No worries.

    Also, I could probably rack up quite a few if I make all those additional comments to qualify my first comments since I never stop analyzing things….
    I may make a fool out of myself.

    Go for the fool. :mrgreen:
    Just have fun . . .

    Geesh! Anonymum has exactly twice as many as I have (before this one.)
    I’m gaining…

    As Mum said, “Not for long . . . ”
    Go Lolly! (time to troll the archives)

    Not for long Lolly
    :mrgreen:
    I’ll admit I’m not surprised at being on top of the comment count, but will express some surprise at the amount of them….mind you, I spend nearly as much time here as I do at the nook, so maybe not so surprising after all when I think about it…
    Love the concept BTW…I’ve been thinking about a contest for some time but the prize eludes me….
    I have to say, I’m surprised at you talking about balls dropping too!
    :wink:

    You should have seen the count based on a year! It would have blown you out of the water.
    That said, you, my dear, are my biggest commenter (unless someone changes that, which I doubt)
    As far as balls dropping, I am ready to let mine go . . . .

    You have lost your mind!
    But that’s what I like about your blog.
    You never know what you’re going to post.
    It could be something funny, heart wrenching, cryptic, really cool, nostalgic, scary or just a very simple image.
    It’s fun to see what will be next!

    I’ll show you what’s next very soon my little Polish croissant . . . . (evil laugh)

    Doubtful that I would win – I am not very competitive, but as long as you come here, know that I will too!

    That said, feedback is a positive thing – you deserve it for your efforts!

    See you soon, kiddo!

    Am I allowed to Burnify the process and cheat?

    Not sure how you could do that but go for it, mate . . .

    Dude, looks like I have my work cut out for me. No more slacking!!!

    You need to get into the top 12 first, Grimm.
    I may have a ‘Fast Turtle’ Award in my back pocket . . . ;)

    Oh, wow, what a great idea to generate comments. Wish I’d thought of that (and had a widget like that).

    Hey, have a great Turkey Day!

    This post has even me surprised.
    Amazing that a 15 minute post could generate traffic.
    Are you on WP.org?
    Widgets are everywhere!

    Good idea to be letting them go…doesn’t become a man of your age to be holding them anyway!

    Happy Thanksgiving -
    I hope all the cooking is enjoyed by all. I am painting my living room this long weekend & will be grateful when it is done.

    Cooking is done.
    Hope your painting is too.
    Nice to hear from you, kiddo.

    Oh, I could get so obnoxious… by commenting all the damn time. Does it have to pertain to the post? LOL!

    Hit the archives, my dear. ;)
    Doesn’t have to be only this post.
    Go to February 2005.
    There’s some good stuff there!
    Tanks!
