Now the 9th Funniest Blog on the World Wide Web

Well, that was fun!

The contest is officially over and the last time I checked before they took the counts down I was in 9th place. Totally respectable, in this case. In another case I was in a group that placed 9th in a junior high writing contest, but there were only 10 teams.

Because of the top 10 finish, as promised, I will host an ice cream social. Details to follow. But there will be ice cream and cones, because ice cream is just plain better in cones. Do not deny this! Isn't the very idea of an ice cream social wonderful? It's so old-timey. Like there should be men with waxed mustaches riding around on penny-farthing bicycles, and barber shop quartets singing In the Good Old Summertime, and ladies pushing prams, and local youths lighting firecrackers. None of these things will actually be at our ice cream social unless some of you start growing mustaches now. This is merely a suggestion. But I can promise you that if you show up with an elaborate mustache I will give you an extra scoop of ice cream.

Have I mentioned how nice I think all of you are? Because it's true. It was a very silly contest and yet you all came through like champs and I feel truly lucky to know such lovely people. Let's be friends forever!

Hurray for funniness being rewarded!! Hey, can I offer to host the ice cream social here in Tunis so I don't miss out on the fun? I will also provide party hats...

Kelly said...

Congratulations. I totally agree about the cones. Wish I could come. I love ice cream! We all scream for it here.

Andrea said...

Congratulations on the 9th place but you were totally robbed! Where did all those original votes go?

Stephanie said...

Yea for you! And yea for ice cream cones - as long as they are the sugar kind, not the cake kind. The cake kind freak me out.

Tell me when it is and we might be there - we're coming into town at the end of July (a terribly respectable time to have an ice cream social).

Congratulations! You are truly amazing.

I hope you have Magic Shell at your ice cream celebration. A wise man once taught me that Magic Shell is the best ice cream additive.

I am bummed they took away all your votes! I don't think they took away anyone else's. You know those with over 2000 votes cheated somehow!!!

If you invite the mayor of Murray, Utah, you can check the handlebar mustache off the list. He's got a killer one.

Rach said...

Patti's right. The Murray mayor was sporting an amazing mustache when Archuleta came to town during Idol. Congrats on 9th place. To me you're numero uno. I know that whenever I'm cranky I can come to your blog and get a good laugh. Sorry I won't be at the social, but I'll eat an ice cream cone in your honor.

I have been unable to induce Daniel into waxing his moustache. Which is too bad, because I find sculpted moustaches extremely attractive.
