Honestly, I never expected so much positive growth over such a short period of time. To give you an idea of what I am talking about; when I started this contest I only had 22 members to my community and now, after whoring myself out to the general public, I have a total of 28 community members. Fucking A’ Right Whorebaiting works!!! All I have got to say to dissenters of search marketing is “Look Who is Laughing Now, dickweed!” I could go on and on about how much fun the past few weeks have been; the people I have met (you would have no idea who I ended up having a heart-to-heart with at 3am - their last name ends in Steve Urkel), the friends I have made, the parties, the dress barn, the gap… and, OMG I can’t forget, the chap stick contest where we all sang Meatloaf and pretended we were in comas (will you guys ever forget? – my safe word was feeding-tube). It’s been the best parts of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride - but we are here for the winners today. So let’s get to the prizes. First off, I would like to thank Mr. Ethan Hayes (pictured below) for helping me select the winners. The process for selecting the winners was quite complex but I will try and break it down quickly. First I printed out my community members pictures onto a single piece of paper (yes, it’s harder than you think). Then I cut each picture up into its own “square” (square is in quotes because I can’t cut straight). I then placed the community squares (which henceforth I will call communion or body of christ) in a cup. Lastly, I had Ethan Hayes select a random body of christ from the cup and place it my mouth… and by mouth, I mean, he held it up so I could take a picture. Winners Runner up: SEO Fox What Did He Win: The Runner Up will be granted permission to publicly state that we are “going steady” for one full month (permission ends on March 16th, 2007). I will be watching - you’ve only got a month, so make good on it! First Place: Stuntdubl What Did He Win: The Winner of my drawing will receive 1 Nerf Football signed (autographed) by me personally as well as 2 framed 8 x 10 pictures of yours truly. Here’s the best part – both photos will have ME holding YOUR Nerf football so you know they’re authentic! If you want to claim your prize that email me your delivery address at mybloglogwhorebait@gmail.com (yes, it is a real address). So there you have it Gents. Enjoy and Good Looking Out.
