Reader's Digest Short, Short Story Contest Wednesday Update
This is the email that went out to all those on my email reminder list this morning. I realized today how much I love putting each morning's bulletin together. I will miss it when the contest is over and I have a sneaky feeling that at least some of the recipients will miss getting a morning chuckle too.
Gina must have run out of Disneyland tickets 'cause it's just tame, tedious
and tiresome on #15. I almost voted for her just to see if the button worked.
Now, I'm not a cementhead. I'm very well aware that Gina didn't just throw her
hands in the air and declare us superior and deserving of the spot she formerly
held. No, Gina will be back but the question is, back in time to catch a
runaway team like ours? Doubtful. But, I'm keeping a good eye on her. Every
so often I just stop stock still and turn around and holler, "Gina, is that you
darlin'?" If she doesn't answer I laugh in my hand and continue forward to the
Becky Bastion.
It is good to forgive and I have forgiven Becky for mowing us down like
dandelions when we were in #10 and she greedily snatched it away bouncing us on
our heads to do it. You can tell, can't you, that I have forgiven Becky? I
just think that we do justice to #13 better than she does. That site deserves a
team that is polite and courteous and respectful. Not a team like Becky's that
had their souls sucked out by the dementers.
Hanging out my "Go Ahead and Enter, I'm
Already Disturbed" sign today while I consult my Ouiji Board to see how to best
sneak up and push Becky out of the way causing her only minor injuries. Of
course, we'll grant her time to gather up her tacky belongings and tie them up
on a hobo stick so she's not left completely helpless like she left us.. That's
because, as it is easy to see, Becky is forgiven.
We have allies now! The entire country
of Canada has been mustered up by my friend, Elaine! Those are some mighty nice
folks and they all have sturdy voting fingers. Thank you, Canada!
We are currently in #14, yawn, with 1623 votes, a gain of 62
votes in the last 24 hours! Back into the sixties where good things begin to
happen. How about 70 votes or better today? Wouldn't that be fun? Gina, in
#15, with 1657 votes, a gain of 15 votes in the last 24 hours.
Becky, the Brawler, has 1812 votes as she lolls about on #13.
Only thing about that is we're gaining on her. Slowly but steadily gaining on
her. Heh Heh. Yesterday she was 197 votes ahead of us. Today she is 189 votes
ahead of us. Heh heh. Let's have her lose ground in the 25-30 votes today,
shall we? Wouldn't that be fun?
Let's vote! Thank you!
