They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Dufus Blues
Damn right I've got the blues
My hat's off to Salmon Like the Fish. She got off to a late start but I think her extolling people to vote for her on X Factor at the last minute pretty much sewed up her win. Even though Simon told Salmon he'd heard better on Karaoke Battle USA.
And to my fellow Canuck, Nicky, from We Work For Cheese here's to you girl. After dissing each other in countless comments on Facebook, on each other's blog, Twitter, Google+ and the CBC News Network who is left standing? Neither of us, I'm afraid. But it was all in good fun. She's one funny lady and a hell of a good sport. And our relationship has that unique je ne sais quoi that binds us together eternally: we still both have fairly crappy looking blogs.
Nicky lives in Montreal, you know. I'm not too far away in Aylmer Quebec, across the river from Ottawa. For you Americans Nicky and I are practically next door neighbours. Oh yeah. "Nicky, you got some parmesan I can borrow?"
But that's okay. I'm not bitter that I lost (pass another lime, please) I lost. Nor that Tribal Blogs got a mountain of free publicty. You see, each time Nicky and I dropped another one on each other we, of course, linked back to Tribal Blogs (damn, I just did it again.). And I think I speak for Nicky when I say neither of us is embarrassed after blathering and gushing like giddy school girls over Tribal Blogs founder Jennifer (known as Redhead Ranting) and "mod" Kelly (who goes by the handle of Cardiogirl) all over TB and up and down Facebook for the last week. Oh, sorry, Jen, once I saw the writing on the wall I cancelled that bulk shipment of pea meal bacon I was sending to you. Want a Tim-bit? Kelly, no chocolate for you!
I want to thank my faithful followers and the odd family member (Whitey is odd, isn't he?) for their votes. I appreciate your support.
And Nicky? Looks like that knockout pink sundress didn't work for either of us.

Pea meal bacon?
Gag.
hee hee
And condolences to you buddy. Hey, I'll take a stab at yer blog ifn you want me to. I can't guarantee that it will look good or that you won't lose EVERYTHING, but hey...if you're willing...
hee hee hee
Really. Do you have any thoughts as to what I should do?
No worries, dufus. You are eligible for $100 discount on a makeover. I hope the offer doesn't 'self-destruct' in time should you not choose such mission.
Frankly, I don't think your blog needs much of a makeover anyway. It's neat and simple, and easy to read (a big plus with my eyesight), and it's not so "busy". I really hate those sites that have links to god-knows-where and where you might get tagged for porn pop-ups (euphemism intended).
But, if you have any surplus pea meal ...
;-)
I'm thinking of adorning my blog with pics of and links to pea meal bacon. Waddaya think?
Well, Nicky, that was a lot of fun. I don't really care that I didn't win whatever it was we were competing for. The fun was poking fun at each other. You know I was going to e-mail you and ask if you wanted to have some fun with this. I certainly didn't need to. You clued in real fast. It is an honour to lose with you.
Um, sorry, you're right that the pink dress does work for you. Me, on the other hand... :0
