Meta-Meta Contest

Aggie and Woodsy have traded days for posting. The reason why we did the switch will be apparent later today, so stay tuned.

A few months before I was invited to join the ESI, a meta-contest was held on this blog. I entered the contest and won a prize. When my prize never materialized, I started whining annoyingly to Fourth Dwarf that I wanted my prize.

"Oh, don't you worry, my dear, you'll get your prize alright," he coughed out ominously.

I got my prize. It is hidden within this blog.

I would like to suggest a meta-meta-contest. Comment as to what it was that I wanted for my prize, then find the prize on this blog, and I will take you out for a coffee and a ginger cookie at Bridgehead - my treat!

I'm going entirely by memory here, but I seem to recall it was a shirt. Would your recently acquired pirate shirt be the prize?

Tiana said...

A rock on/anywhoo shirt. Is it in the girls gone wild video?

Woodsy said...

Zoom, yes it was a shirt, and you probably have seen me wearing it, but it is not the pirate shirt...

Tiana, you are correct it was a rock on/anywhoo shirt, but no it is not in the Girls Gone Wild Vidio.

I must say though, you are both warm...

The shirt is on your beautiful nymph self in the link to colouredmarbles on the sidebar.... I've been wondering about that for a while!

Can I have a chocolate & chili cookie at Umi?

Milan said...

I am guessing I am the only one who looked through this page's HTML in search of hidden messages...

Milan said...

To ruin the ending... it's a bunch of javascript widgets.

Woodsy said...

Jen G., you win!

Milan, I suspect you are the only one... which is very endearing. Is it any wonder Aggie has a crush on you!
